Best Friend (BL)

Chapter 1

It's just a normal day,papasok sa school,makikinig sa lecture,answer if the teachers ask questions,take down notes,just a typical student daily routine

That's what I thought,who could expect na,a day which I thought was a normal day,just like the previous days,turn into something unexpected? I actually didn't expect na mangyayari to,I thought no one would found out,I thought I completely hid it,akala ko walang makakahalata,akala ko lang din pala

"You like him right?",gulat na napatingin ako sa katabi ko which is kaibigan kong si Ethan when he utter those words,"What?",I ask him, clearly confused and a little bit scared

"Don't bother denying,halata kana uy",natatawang ani nito,sabay sandal sa upuan at subo ng chips na hawak niya

"What do you mean?",nagtatakang tanong ko rito,before answering,sumulyap pa muna ito sa isang taong nakaupo sa second raw na nakikipag tawanan sa seatmate niya.

He's Kayle,my childhood best friend,"I've been observing you this past few weeks,and that's when it hit me",ani nito and then slowly lean forward and whispered,"You actually like him"

I quickly push him away,sabay tingin ng masama rito,"Don't you ever tell him what you found out today",pagbabanta ko rito,"Why thou? I mean, doesn't he like you too?",kunot noong tanong naman nito,"He treats you differently than others, he's too gentle and kind,he act like you're so precious to him, doesn't that mean he likes you too?",dagdag pa nito

Malungkot na napatingin ako sa gawi ni Kayle,"No, you're wrong,he doesn't like me,he just have a reason why he treated me that way",huling saad ko kasabay nito ang pagtunog ng bell hudyat na uwian na

When the bell rang,nakita ko agad na nagligpit ng gamit si Kayle,and when he's done, napatingin ito sa gawi namin and smile. He stand up and walk towards our table,"Tara uwi na tayo",aya nito sakin.

I was about to leave when Ethan suddenly pulled me closer to him and whisper,"I'm never wrong Chace,mark my word",huling ani nito before he let me go and left the room

Kayle just look at Ethan's back and mumble some words,but I didn't hear it,masyadong mahina

"You ok?",nabalik ako sa realidad when Kayle suddenly spoke,"You seems lost in thoughts kasi, you've been spacing out ever since paglabas natin ng room.Do you have problem ba? Is someone bullying you?",sunod sunod na tanong nito,while staring straight into my eyes,I can see the worry in his eyes

Agad akong napaiwas ng tingin dahil dito,I can feel my cheeks heating up,ahhhhhh why is he looking at me like that?!

"Are you ok? Namumula ka,may sakit kaba?",tanong pa nito sabay patong ng kamay sa noo ko to check my temperature,I feel like,my whole face turn red when he did that

"Normal naman",kibit balikat na ani nito,when he compared his temperature with mine,"Maybe you're just exhausted right? Do you want me to buy you an ice cream?",biglang alok nito while looking at the convenient store

"You know what? Just wait for me here",saad nito,when he didn't hear an answer and start walking towards the store.I just look at his slowly fading figure

Tsk, how can't i like you when you keep on acting like that?

"Oh",bugad nito habang inaabot sakin ang isang plastic bag na puno ng chocolate and junk foods.

Agad nangunot ang noo ko pagkakita rito,"What's this?",nagtatakang tanong ko,"Baka pagkain?",pabalang na sagot nito,napa-ikot mata naman ako dahil dito,"Kung di lang ako nasasayangan sa mukha mo,baka sinapak na kita",ikot matang bulong ko

"Why? What's with my face?",nagtatakang tanong ko,"Masyadong gwapo",wala sa sariling sagot ko,agad nanlaki mata ko when realization hit me

"Ah so I'm handsome in your eyes pala?",tela nang-aasar na tanong nito,"Of course,and that's mainly because of tita and tito,you should be thankful to them",pagdadahilan ko,agh this stupid mouth of mine!

"I'll be more thankful if this face makes you like me thou"

"Ano yun?",nagtatakang tanong ko kasi ang hina ng boses niya,hindi ko marinig,"I said,kunin mo na to,nangangawit na kamay ko",ani nito and put the plastic bag on my hand,and then he start walking,leaving me behind

Problema nun?

"Hmm",Kayle seem hesitant,"What is it?",I ask him,"What did Ethan tell you?",he ask while staring straight at me,nagtatakang napatingin naman ako dito pabalik,"What do you mean?",nagtatakang tanong ko rito,he just sigh and raffle my hair,agad naman akong napaiwas

"Bwesit ka! Ginulo mo nanaman buhok ko!",nakangusong saway ko rito,"Matagal ng magulo buhok mo",pang-aasar naman nito,napaikot mata naman ako dahil dito, should i just kill him?

Nakangusong inayos ko na lang ang buhok ko,"What?",nagtatakang tanong ko when I catch him staring

"Don't do that infront of others",biglang ani nito,napataas kilay naman ako dahil dito,"pinagsasabi mo?",nagtatakang tanong ko rito, what's with today? Puno ng pagtataka ata araw ko ngayon

"Basta,wag na maraming tanong",ani nito saka ulit naunang maglakad,kita niyo yun? Ang gulo

Kibit balikat na lang akong sumunod sakanya

"Tsk,slow"

"I'm home",bati ko pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko ng bahay,agad naman akong sinalubong ng katahimikan,I guess they're not home yet..

Buntong hiningang nagtungo na lang ako sa kwarto ko saka nagbihis ng pambahay,and then laid on my bed

I was about to close my eyes ng biglang nag vibrate yung phone ko

Kayle : don't forget to eat dinner,and sleep early,wag ka ng magpuyat

Argh,stop being so caring, masyado nakong nahuhulog

I didn't bother replying and just close my eyes,how I wish that we feel the same way,that way, it won't hurt this bad
