TJ's POV
After what happened yesterday, I'm in my room the whole day thinking what should I do next. But the best choice that I know is. . . . I need to finish the bet so Jaybi can grant me a wish.So do I need to break my loved ones' heart? Sh•t, sakit isipin!A day passed...We're 4 of out 7, sitting here talking to each other.I saw Petot running."Kuya!"Ayan ang hyper kong kapatid kakarating lang."Petot!" As I tried to imitate her, "Alam mo ba kung nasaan si Sam? I mean, I haven't seen her since the other day.""Eh, pa'no buong araw nasa dorm ka lang. And why are you asking me? Mukha ba akong tanungan ng taong nawawala?" with matching taas kilay at turo pa niya sa sarili niya.Binatukan ko siya, "Malamang magkaibigan kayo.""Kuya naman joke lang, eh. She's in her club, may role-play sila. You know about it.""Eh, kailan daw kaya ulit natin makakasama 'yun?" Zack asked.TJ's POVNandito na naman ako sa dorm ni Jaybi. From that day, yung nangyari kila Sam at Jaybi, I always see Jaybi crying and drunk here. Gabi-gabing naglalasing para daw makalimot sa pait at sakit. Tsk! Hindi ko siya masisisi sa part na 'yon kasi alam ko masakit. I sat beside him.He looked at me while holding his canned beer, "Why can't she love me?"Heto na naman tayo sa tanong mo!"Did you know? Pang sampung beses mo ng tanong 'yan?" And because of what I said, he burst into tears.Tsk! Kung pwede lang talaga sabihin sa kanya ang lahat eh, kung pwede lang talaga. . . . but I said I wouldn't, so I won't! I can feel that she really loves you too. Sam loves you, Jaybi! Hindi pa lang talaga niya alam o kaya naman hindi pa talaga gano'n siya ka sigurado kasi hindi pa ganon kalalim ang nararamdaman niya pero ramdam ko, mahal ka no'n, Jaybi! He took a sip again.There was
TJ's POV27 days left...We're here outside his apartment now because I invited him to go out, and I'm picking him up. . . . but why the hell is it raining!? Bakit ba lagi na lang na ulan kapag gusto namin lumabas, ah?"Tj, we can still continue our plan, right?" he asked.I just sighed, "I don't know, ayoko na lumabas pa tayo. I don't want you to get sick again.""Why not do it tomorrow? Then dito na lang tayo muna sa apartment ko. And your plans, we can still do it tomorrow, what do you think?""The only choice we have," I said.I smiled and nodded. We went inside and I immediately went to the couch."Okay! Instead of watching a movie in a cinema, we will have a movie marathon!" I shouted here.He laughs, "You look crazy.""Crazy in love with you."I saw how embarrassed he was to nod, which made me laugh. I peeked out the window, it's raining cats and dogs, "Bakit kase wron
TJ's POV"Tj . . ." Isang malamig pero mahinahong boses ang narinig ko mula sa tagiliran ko.Binuksan ko ang mga mata ko, tumingin sa gilid kung saan nanggaling ang boses, at si Zack ang una kong nakita sa umaga."Good morning, Byul," he said while smiling, yung siko niya ay nakapaong sa kama habang naka kamao at nakatapong yung ulo niya sa kamao niya. "Bangon na, baka may klase ka pa."Napakamot ako ng ulo ko sa yamot dahil weekends ngayon, "Klase ka riyan? Linggo ngayon!" "Ay, linggo ba?" And he giggles. He kissed me on my forehead, "Okay, then. Sorry for waking you up. Tulog ka na ulit."Without saying anything, bumalikwas na lang ako at pumikit ulit para i-continue ang naputol kong tulog. The loud sound of rain outside makes me want to sleep more.After 30 minutes..."Byul, wake up. It's already 8:00, time for breakfast."I opened my eyes and there I saw Zack, sitting beside me and the reason why I
TJ's POVWithout a second thought, I picked up my phone and earphones on the center table. Plug each in our ears and start to listen to the music.We just finished a song when I spoke."It's nice, isn't?" tanong ko sa kanya.He looked up, "It's nice but I think yours is way better."I was a bit shocked by what I heard. I don't usually sing, cause I'm not that confident about my voice unlike Petot but I think it's not the right time to say no to him since it's just the two of us, so I put my mouth close to his ear and took a deep breath before I started to sing.Why I feel something different?~Is it because of your smile?~Why I feel so nervous?~Is it because you're here near me?~I really like you~I really want you~I really need you~I really love you~Why I feel so guilty?~Is it because I make you angry?~Why I have this feelings?~Is it because of you?~You rea
Jaybi's POV"Jaybi, I know you're concerned. Don't do it because you're guilty, do it because you care. Don't do it for love, do it from love." And out of nowhere, Petot said, before she continued to walk and left me confused here.All I could do was nod. She went out so I went in, that's the deal.I looked around to find her but I couldn't, not until I found her at the balcony and just sitting there on the chair, looking at the atmosphere.I went there, "Sam."And there she gave a cold glance."I brought some food," I said, then smiled. At itinaas ko yung mga prutas na binili ko kahapon.She's just looking at me without saying anything, I just frowned because she was still not saying anything."Sam, what's on your mind?" I asked this time."You, I'm thinking about you . . ." walang gana at expression niyang sinabi. "I hope you're real and yes, here with me right now. Ang dami kong gustong sabihin sa 'y
WARNING: THE WORDS USED MAYBE CAN TRIGGERED YOUSam's POV"What does it mean?""I'm an angel from heaven but I can be a demon from hell, as well." I saw how scared they were. Making me more excited. So, I stood up."How—""How mo mukha mo!" I cut what Diane's trying to say, "Sino kasi ang b•bu ang magtatali na nga lang, luwag pa? Sa susunod ikaw na itatali ko, tapos hihigpitan ko sa parte ng leeg para, u know, walang takas.""What the!" She lost her temper."Oh, ikalma mo. Hindi pa ako nagsisimula," I said to her, and laughed after. "Let's start from that issue." I tried to explain but of course, sanay silang humanap ng gulo."Issue, my foot!" singit ni Margaret.I rolled my eyes, "Diane, we didn't do anything wrong, it's just unclear. He's there, of course he's the owner of that room, and I suddenly crashed there. . . . pero alam niyo ba na kahit sa kanya yung room do'n pa rin siya
TJ's POV"Petot . . .""Yes?" she answered.Kaka-upo ko lang sa kama habang siya, 'yon, nakaupo lang din at nakaharap sa phone niya. It's weekend, so I know that she's here, and that's why I'm here.Number 8 from my list is `Make him kiss you`, that's why I'm thinking of something on how I will do that without actually asking for it."Kailan mo nakuha yung first kiss mo?" Out of nowhere, I asked her.She immediately looked at me, frowned, judging me for a second. But afterwards spoke too, "Why? At kailan ka pa na curious sa mga ganyang bagay, ah? May gusto ka ba halikan, is it Kuya Zack? Or you never had your first kiss? Well, I'm exempt from that."Nagtanong lang ang dami na agad nasabi."Why, Is my age not proof enough?" I asked her back. "Nasa tamang edad na ako para ma-curious sa mga ganung bagay." "Ang defensive naman nun, Kuya. Ito naman joke lang, eh. `Yan kasi ayaw pa mag-girlfriend eh, clueles
TJ's POV"I kissed you?" I was surprised when he returned the question to me. I touched my lips, it feels real. Wtf, Is that just a dream!? "Aray!" napahawak ako sa ulo ko. I looked at the back and there, I saw someone I know here in front of me. "Sh•t, nabatukan na naman. Inaano kita, Sam, ah?""It's not a dream, okay?" she explained, as she laughed."Huh?" We both sat down while Zack just went to the kitchen himself. And Sam started to explain what happened. And After explaining that all to me, I asked her."Eh, bakit mo naman ginawa 'yon? Ang sakit pa rin, ah?" angal ko, habang nakahawak sa sintido ko."Kuya TJ!" I heard Little Bao's voice.I will not be mistaken. How can I forget that?Humarap na ako ron sa may tabi ng kwarto ni Zack, at tama nga ako. I saw Little Bao running towards me from the car. He hugged me. Maybe Sam didn't have the key to Zack's apartment, but Little Ba
