There was a long pause. Tila hindi pumapasok sa utak ko yung sinabi niya. I even thought about asking him to repeat it just in case I didn't hear it right but who was I kidding? It was just a damn excuse. I heard it the first time. Narinig ko. Narinig ko naman ng malinaw.
A heavy sigh escaped from my lips, not knowing what to say. Nakatingin pa rin ako sa magandang tanawin sa harapan ngunit parang nawala na ang epekto no'n sa'kin. I couldn't appreciate it anymore. My thoughts and attention were now directed to something else.
I felt Ezzio's hold on my waist tighten, like he was afraid of what I was about to say, or do. Did he thought I would lash out?
My lips parted, preparing myself to speak.
"That's..." I could barely continue. The emotions inside me were starting to get overwhelming and my mind has become too chaotic. Kasi parang ang bilis naman yata? We spent the rest of the day happy and no
Paris"So you're the girl my son's been talking about!"Napakurap ako, halos namamala ang lalamunan dahil sa kaba. We were at their house now, standing in their living room. Kakapasok pa lang namin pero agad na kaming sinalubong ng mommy niya. She looked excited when I saw her come out somewhere to greet us. Malapad ang mga ngiting iginawad niya. I couldn't help but watch her in awe while she was walking.It was my first time seeing Ezzio's mother. She looked gorgeous in her white chiffon dress. It contrasted her morena skin. Her hair was up in a bun, which emphasized her high cheekbones and almond eyes. I could tell she was already in her late 40's or early 50's. But boy, did she looked younger.
Ezzio "Cut it out, Z! We're running late!"reklamo ni Ray, kunot noong nakatingin sa wristwatch. I didn't listen. Sa halip ay nagpatuloy lang ako sa paglalaro ng bola. Dalawang linggo pa lang matapos kaming napasok sa team ng Wolves pero kahit ganoon ay nakasanayan na naming tumambay sa field tuwing lunchbreak kasama ang mga seniors. I smirked at Ray while doing my freestyle. Sinasadya kong hindi tapusin dahil alam kong inis na siya. Lunch was over and most people in the field had already left for their next class. "Tss. Tangina naman, o!" Napatawa na ako nang marinig siyang magmura. I took that as a sign to stop. Hinawakan ko ang bola pero agad din 'yong hinagis sa direksyon niya. His reflex was fast so he caught it without batting an eye. I shrugged and run my fingers through my hair. "Five minutes na lang, late na tayo,"aniya nang nagsimula kaming maglak
They were all in shock. The room fell dead silent. All eyes were on me and no one dared to speak... until Ezzio smirked and said,"You like me?" - Ezzio Martinez, Head Over Heels For Ezzio-----------A/N:This is a work of fiction.

"SiEzzioMartinez ang gusto ko, okay?!" Have you ever confessed something like that in public? Well, notsuperpublic. But let's say... in the middle of a class? With your Professor and classmates around, kasama na rin ang mismong may-ari ng pangalang isinigaw mo. Kasi ako, oo. 'Yun nga lang, hindi totoong gusto ko si Ezzio. "Half an hour to go,"I murmured right after checking my wrist-watch. Nakaupo ako sa mataas na parte ng bleachers malapit sa football field. I had been sitting here for about an hour, waiting for my next class. It's a typical Wedne
"OH. MY. GOSH."Agad akong napalingon sa kapatid kong si Venny na nakatingin sa akin habang nanlalaki ang mga mata at medyo nakaawang ang bibig. Basta-basta na lang syang pumasok sa kwarto ko nang wala man lang paalam kaya hindi ko napigilan ang magulat rin."Geez, Ven."I said as I calmed myself down."What do youneed?"I couldn't stop the tired tone lacing my voice because I was just too exhausted; exhausted of what happened. Of the girl who saw the doodle. Of the remark Ezzio gave me. Of the drama. Heck, I was exhausted by the whole damn thing!So, what exactly happened after I made that scene? Well, it wasn't that bad. Pinagtawanan
"No."That was the first thing that came out of my mouth.No."But-!"pag alma ni Venny."Akala ko ba ayaw mong malaman ng lahat na gusto mo si King?"Tumango ako, sumasang-ayon sa kanya."Oo nga. But still, I sayno."I saw her frown. Ang sama ng tingin niya sa'kin. Wow. Just wow. Mukhang gusto talaga niya na magpanggap ako, ah? E, siya na lang kaya gumawa no'n?"Ayaw mo?"she asked and I just gave her a short nod. She frowned even more."But why? You have a better idea, then?"
I opened my eyes as my thoughts hung in the air. I slowly turned around just to find myself dumbfounded when I saw who it was.Jersey #7.I blinked as a charming smile appeared on his face. He then started walking towards me, and my heart started pounding faster and faster with every step he took. I felt like my feet were glued on the ground. I couldn't move. Meanwhile, the guy, in his grey Hawk Team hoodie and faded jeans, stopped about one step away from me.It was getting harder to breathe. And the more my heartbeat thumped, the more I realized what was really happening...I was standing face to face with King Largo. KING FUCKING LARGO."You dropped this
I saw his back stiffen. Even that bit of reaction from him made me anxious. Parang gusto kong tumakbo palayo.God, is it really too late to back down now?He turned around and I forced myself to stand my ground. Hindi ako makapaniwalang nakakaramdam ako ng kaunting kaba. The slight shock on his face was evident. But then, just like always, it vanished. And so did the somber atmosphere around the place."Well, look who's here,"he quipped, wearing that annoying smirk on his face. My anxiety disappeared fast. Ang tanging naramdaman ko na lang ay ang pagkakairita sa lecheng ngisi niya.I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off."Akala ko ba
