I don't know what's wrong with me. But I found myself typing this words.
Allison: Then I will be the one whom you can talk to. Starting today, I will be your bestfriend.
After realizing what I just type on my phone. I groan and throw my phone on the bed.
"Shet! I think he will think that I'm desperate in knowing him." I wince when I remember what I did to my ex-crush.
I shake my head trying to get that thought inside my head. I'm so screwed!
When I heard my messenger tone, I instantly extend my arm to reach my phone. With my flush cheeks, I inhale before reading his reply.
Luigi: Maybe we can. I have my time... but what will be our topic?
I wince. Yeah. He is right. I have nothing to say to him. So how can I have a bunch of conversations with him?
A girl with a high up pride and a bad attitude plus a lonely guy who have no friends equal no conversation at all.
I sigh. "Wow. What an nice combination we have here!" I sarcastically said before rolling eyes. I think I keep on rolling my eyes this past few days.
"Why does my Christmas break have to be this annoying?!" I frustratedly said before stomping my feet making the bed sheet crumbled.
I stop my action when my bedroom's door suddenly burst open reveling my mother's annoyinh face. "Heh! I can here you shouting outside! Shut up or I will shut it for you."
I look at her with my eyes wide open. Woah, I have a wild mother. When she finally close the door, I throw my pillow and frown.
"And here my friend's telling me how bad my attitude is without them realizing that I get it from my Mama." Tch!
Instead of throwing all my pillows inside my room, I reply to Luigi's last message.
Allison: hmmm, I also don't have any topic that We can talk about...
"I'm having a hard time figuring out any topic that we can talk about." I ended up talking to myself again. Maybe this is one of the reason why my family thinks I'm crazy.
Luigi: That's one of the reason why I don't have any friends. Because I lack out of topic.
I roll my eyes. This guy have a low self-esteem. I need to burst how he needs to look st himself. He keep on downing himself.
"I see now why Rohanie and Niña pity you." I shake my head. To be honest, there is nothing to pity about this guy.
I see what a naked eyes can't see in him. "What I can see is a guy with a strong personality even though he don't have anyone on him to lean on."
I remember myself being in his position. Because all my elementary days, it's like I'm in hell. Classmates keeps on bullying me and the feeling of no one to lean on.
Then All of the sudden I got lucky that my brother taught me to be strong. That we have the same blood running in our blood and no one should stomped on us.
"Hmm, I think he will need someone whom he can lean on. Someone who will be there for him even in his upside down."
And I think I can be that person. No, I have to be that person so he can feel how it feels to have someone by your side.
I flop down on my bed before closing my eyes. "God, can I be that person that he will need?"
Talking to him makes my brain to think. He makes my brain work! My modules can't do that to my brain.
Allison: Have we met personally?
I mean-- We are in the same school right? So there is a possibility that We met. (Without knowing each other)
I frown when I saw the three dots. Seconds later, his reply make my jaw drop.
Luigi: You already see me.
His reply makes me digg up the memories that I have in my storage room. You can see it inside my brain.
I quirk. Fuck shit. Where did I saw him? If I do, I'm sure that I will remember his face.
I roll my eyes and give up on thinking. "Where the fuck did I see you?"
The answer to my question came seconds later.
Luigi: You met me at school and at new year's day.
Oh, yeah. Recently we celebrated new year with my family. And how did I met him that day?
"Really? Because as far as I can remember, I haven't seen you even before.
Luigi: Huh? Are you serious?
His answer makes me roll my eyes. Duh! For real! I haven't seen him. If I do, I'm sure I will remember his face.
Allison: yeah, Im sure about it?
Luigi: Ah, someday you will see me.
For the first time in my life. I felt the excitement that I wanted to feel.
I smile before turning off my phone. But when my door suddenly burst open, I immediately wipe the smile on my face and frown.
"Hubby, do you want to eat me?" I laugh at what karyll said. Karyll is my long time bestfriends. She's part of the lunatics club. Meaning, she's one of the takas mental.
And what she meant is 'If I want to ear street foods with her.'
"Girl, you gotta fix your language. I might eat you." Both of us laugh with our dirty talks.
I'm always comfortable talking that way with her. Being raise by religious parents is kinda hard when you finally get out if their shelter.
Maybe that's one of the reason why my elementary days is like hell. Me being the angel and the bullies being a devil.
But when I finally learned that I have limitations with my kindness, I manage to be haft haft. Haft devil, haft angel.
We spoted our favorite street food. I'm satisfied because I get to eat this foods.
"Oh, by the way. How are you and baguio boy?" Baguio boy is the boy from baguio that Karyll met at online dating app. Well, it's not like she really want to date him. This girl is sucker for someone that will suit her boyfriend list.
"Ugh! Why do you have to open that topic?" Her nose crinkled and I shrug. "I'm wondering what happened to the people that I ship."
We're walking back to her house when I suddenly think of asking her about her lovelife. It's not like I can tell her about Luigi since I just talk to him for a weeks.
Don't wanna get scold by my Wifey. When Karyll inhaled, I ready my ears for the fresh gossip. I smile when she starts talking.
"Girl, We stop talking for a month now you know. But there is a part of me who wants to chat him. But then--" I can't help but to frown while she's telling me this shits.
"---I decided not to make a move...even if I want too." Karyll faked a smile and gives me a thumbs up making me frown more while we are walking.
"Ugh! It shrunk! Shit! Why?! Why did you let it happened?!" I dramatically asks. I almost laugh when her face suddenly turned dramatic too and she starts talking again.
My eyes settle to the guy who is wearing a woodie jacket who was about to pass us by. My frown deeper when I saw his face.
While Karyll keeps on talking, My eyes can't help but to wonder with the stranger's face. He seems so familiar. And while his smoking, he smile at me. Making me frown more!!
When he's finally behind us, I can't help but to check him again. He's still looking at me when he finally dissapeared from the dark street.
When We finally reached Karyll's house. I kiss her goodbye before walking fast. "Bye Wifey!gotta go!"
I did not let Karyll to talk and I walk even faster. I wamted to catch that man. The reason? I don't know.
Ugh! This is something that no one should learn. Don't follow a strangers. I learned that from school but--What do you expect from me? I don't do that. Definently not. So I tried following him.
I was about to pass our street when I decided to stop because there is no point in following a strangers that I can't see.
It feels so strange...and I know that stranger will follow me to my sleep.
*****************//BONUS SCENE//**************
**************************************************
I was enjoying my day relaxing in bed when my Mama suddenly burst in my door.
I frown at her. "Why do you always have to burst in my door?!" I asks. She just look at me and frown before throwing a money. Hmp! Someone is on her period.
"Bring the vegetables that i keep on asking you. I already told you to buy it but here you are. Relaxing. Go! I need to cook our meal."
I just pout. I don't want to go outside. Ugh! Kairita!
Since I have no choice, I did what she wanted me to do. I bought her eggplant and egg for tortang talong.
And then I saw my cousin. "Yah! Kuya!" Luckily he stop walking and smilw at me.
"Oh? You need anything?" He asks. I bit my lip. Should I ask him about Luigi? I mean, there is nothing wrong being friends with his friends right?
"Kuya I have a question. Do you know Luigi?" Kuya laugh. "Yeah. He's Inc."
My mouth hang open and I look at Kuya with my wide eyes open. "What the fuck for real?!" Shit! Please Kuya tell me you're just joking.
Kuya laugh again before nodding.
Fuck. I'm doomed.
