Toss

After unleashing those words to Y, I'm not in the mood to study and to even enter the entrance of the school yet I have to. If I see him, I'm planning to evade because of so much shame. How if I keep unintentionally banging him? I don't know what to do then.

Andy Rymer is still absent up 'till now, I wonder where she was. My mind-set suddenly accumulate how she threatened me for what she whispered to me last time. How if she is already planning to beat and knacker me? Well, well, well, this is gonna be fun 'cuz I'm not afraid, looser.

Rounds of thoughts swim all through my mind. Then and there, the person I'm afraid to face joined me on my table for a jolt. The reappearance of that very synthetic, forced looking straight face, masking a pungent grin.

Again, my vocal box became muted as he started talking to me.

"Ky, sorry. K-kung sa tingin mo na--I was just making fun of you, sorry kung hindi ko alam na may impact pala sa'yo 'yung mga kilos at salita kong--alam mo na. Gusto lang kitang alagaan at makasama kase kapatid ka ng kaibigan ko at parang kapatid na din ang turing ko sa 'yo."

Ouch. Kapatid? Really?

What the hell, I-I can't---I d-don't know what to react.

"Naiintindihan ko naman. Okay lang naman 'yun sa 'kin—" , my heart shouts the truth but my mouth proceed on lying.

"—tsaka, I also apologize, Y. I'm sorry for falling in love with you. I'm sorry if I can't control my heart. Sorry kung ganito ako sa'yo.", dugtong ko at dali-daling umalis. His presence makes me feeble and wimpish. I can not handle elaborating the love and the awkwardness in his mind containing the disturbance I keep giving to him when I'm around . I don't want to waste any of his millisecond just for a girl like me that he don't romantically love.

I don't want people to see me sobbing, that's why I went at the corner preventing the flow of any single tear from my eyes after I shunned him. I was entirely forcing my self not to create any sounds of weeping but it has no effect at all because of the pain.

"Tissue?"

"T-thank you." when I wiped out all of my tears to show my beautiful face readily. I faced the person who gave me the tissue, and it was Uichi.

"How did you find me here?" , I asked.

"I heard someone sobbing."

"Is it too loud?" , I said while wiping some tears left to fall.

"You cry like a cow."

And then his authentic annoying attitude came back again. But I do appreciate him caring.

"So you gave me tissues, ahuh?" , I smirked and persuaded my self to stop my blueness.

"You don't want? Then gave those dirty tissues back to me and cry again then I'll go." suddenly he grabbed the tissues he gave and throw it angrily in the trash bin.

"Seriously dude?! What's your problem?" , I asked furiously due to his attitude.

He blankly stared at me with an unreadable expression in his eyes. Ridiculously so, he'd never looked more handsome than he did then. Suddenly, he get something from his pocket, it's his handkerchief. He gently wiped my face without any delay.

"Let me wipe this flowing stupid mascara on your gorgeous face." he said seriously. I got no words left to pronounce as he was touching my face softly. The fragrance of his flawless hands were dwelled inside my lungs. After all, Y did this sweet moments too and apparently, it felt like a deja vu.

"Earth to Kyla! Hello?! Are you still there or am I talking to the wind?" , Uichi said. The whole me perceived like a machine stopped from functioning. That was the first time that this annoying good-looking guy did that to me.

"S-sorry." , I said.

"Look, if you have some problems or even plenty of it, I just want to tell you that don't you ever cry because you're ugly."

"Lol. You told me I have a gorgeous face then you'll say I'm ugly?"

"I mean, crying is not your thing. You're not a weakling, aren't you?" , Uichi said like he knows me well but he was really right.

"So you better put a smile on that 'GORGEOUS' face." , he said once more and highlighted the word 'gorgeous' with his funny pronounciation intendedly.

"How about you put a smile too on your 'HANDSOME' face." , I said and mimic how he highlighted his voice like what he said on mine. But he just remained emotionless.

"Uichi, I've never seen you smile. All you did is to showcase that serious f*cking handsome face. I'm sure you'll look more handsome when you smile even a bit" , I said once more but he remained emotionless again and left me. Seriously though?! What's wrong with this guy? Does he think being a cool mysterious guy makes him more appealing? Well, actually he was right if he do, hehehe.

...

"Ky!" , tawag sa 'kin ni kuya Kivon.

"Oh, nasaan pala si kuya Khenjie?" , tanong ko.

"Wow, kaya minsan nagtataka ako kung mahal mo ba kami ni Klaimoz eh." , pagdadrama nito.

"Kuya, ano ka ba!? Love na love ko kaya kayong lahat. Hindi lang ako sanay na wala siya agad sa bahay dahil madalas ko siyang kachismisan ha-ha-ha. Tsaka, nasaan din pala si kuya Klai?"

"Ayun, nagtatravel-around-the-world na naman."

"Huh?!" biglaan kong bigkas.

"Ha-ha-ha. I mean, hilig non maglakwatsa kung saan-saan 'di ba? Sigurado kasama niya na naman 'yung mga barkada niya na paparty party maka-score lang sa iba't ibang mga chix." , biro nito.

"Maka-score?" , painosente kong tanong.

"Alam kong alam mo 'yon, Ky. Considered sira-ulong chickboy 'yun eh, ha-ha-ha. Buti pa ako, napakabait. Hayst." hirit niya nang may pasakit-ulo pose.

"Eh, asan si kuya Khenjie?"

"Ayun, kasama 'yung girlfriend niya." sambit niya na nagpaalala sa 'kin ng sinabi ni ate Ulkushi na sasagutin niya daw si kuya Jie. Real quick mga pre, sanaol.

"Eh, ikaw kuya? Wala ka bang date na pupuntahan? Balita ko may number ka na sinungkit mula sa isang dalagita, hm?" , pangiti-ngiti kong tanong.

"Ah, eh. Oo. T-teka pala, pano mo nalaman?!"

"Sasabihin ko kung pano ko nalaman kung sasabihin mo kung sino 'yung babaeng gusto mo."

"No need, Ky. Si kuya Klaimoz mo 'yung nagsabi sa 'yo, noh?" tanong niya.

"No, no, no." , sagot ko.

"Ah, edi wala ng iba kundi 'yung girlfriend ni Jie."

"Oo na! Sige na! Pero, please kuya naman! Sabihin mo sa 'kin kung sino 'yung babae." pagpupumilit ko.

"Sasabihin ko kung aaminin mo sa 'kin na may gusto ka talaga kay Y."

P*tang*na?! Masyado ba 'kong halata kaya nalaman niya? O dahil sa labis niyang katalinuhan, naging mind-reader na siya?!
