I can't let him go. I can't give that nerd the chance to be with him. Walang kay nerd! Wala!
"Yaya!"

"Please call Greta. Sabihin mo kailangan ko siya"
"Ay mam wala po si Mam Greta"

"Di ho nabanggit mam ehh"

Gretchen's PoV
Waking up after sending that fcking message makes me not want to go to school now. Ghad why did I tell him that?! Nakakahiya!!
"Problemado?" Nagulat na lang ako nang pumasok si Rachelle sa kwarto looking at me from head to toe
"Psh. Unbelievable"
"Problema mo?"
"Masaya ba? Ha? Santa santahan psh"
"Ano?" Sinasabi nito
"Masaya ba? Ha? Tell me? O masarap? Psh. So low Gretchen"
"Ano pinagsasasabi mo?"
"Nothing. Magingat ka lang. Baka mamaya wala na sayo lahat 😏"
As if I have anything?
"Dyan ka na nga" dumirecho na ko palabas ng kwarto pero narinig ko pa rin siya magsalita
"Enjoy it until it lasts, dear sister"
Gretchen's PoV
"T-troy"
Yun na lang ang nasabi ko kasi pagdating ko pa lang dun sa bench niyakap na niya ako.
Lumuwag ang yakap niya saken sabay tingin sa mata ko
"B-bakit?"
"I love you Gretchen. I love you. Of course I'm gonna believe you telling me you love me too. I'm gonna be the happiest man to hear that from you Gretch"
"A-ahh ehh ano..."
"Hey" he held my chin up para mapatingin ako sa kanya.
"You don't have to force yourself if you can't say it. It's fine Gretchen. I still love you"
"W-why?"
"Anong why?"
"Bakit mahal mo ko?"
Tumingin siya sa kawalan na parang nag-iisip
"W-wag mo na sa-"
"You're unique. I love your personality. I love how strong you are at the same time vulnerable. I love the way you dress, I love your laugh, I love your smiles and most importantly... I love you for being you when you're with me"
"T-troy..." naiiyak ako, not even my parents have told me those kind things. I never heard what people like about me. Ngayon lang.
"Hey... why?"
I wiped my tears off at ngumiti sa kanya "wala. n-nobody ever told me what they love about me... I never received such praises about myself. Why am I fcking emotional gahd"
"Haha Gretch come here" he said pulling me into a hug
"I will tell you everything that you are capable of. I will tell you praises and tell you all the kindest things you deserve to hear okay?"
"Baka naman lumaki ulo ko niyan"
"Butasan natin para lumabas lang yung hangin"
"Troy!"
"Seriously. I don't think you're that type of person na lalaki ang ulo sa mga papuri. You don't have to worry about that too much"
Humigpit lang ang yakap ko sa kanya habang nakatago ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya then I finally said it
"I love you"
I felt him kiss my forehead and hugging me tight before whispering "I love you too"
Gretchen's PoV
"T-troy?"
"Hmm?"
"K-kailangan ba talaga naka... ano?"
"Ano?"
"Eto?" Sabi ko sabay angat ng kamay ko na hawak niya
"Ano masama dito?"
"Andaming nakatingin nakakahiya"
"So? Ehh girlfriend na kita di ba?"
"G-girlfriend??"
"Hindi pa ba?"
Hindi ako nakasagot sa tanong niya, a-ayoko din naman humindi.
"Don't mind them okay? Mainggit sila lahat"
"Kasi boyfriend kita?"
"Kasi akin ka"
Natulala ako sa sinabi niya pero nabalik din ako nang pisilin niya ang pisngi ko sabay tawa
"Cute mo love haha"
"Are they together?" Rinig ko mula sa isa sa mga estudyante
"Omg for real? Seryoso?"
"Bumaba yata standards ni Troy? From what I heard, he was with a glamorous girl from their school before"
"Baka ginayuma?"
"You never know girl. Alam mo naman pag desperado ang isang tao they can do anything"
Hindi ko pinahalata kay Troy na apektado ako sa sinasabi nila instead I just pulled him away from that scene not saying a thing. I don't even know if he heard it.
