Walking in the streets hands in the pockets of my sweater, I noticed a kid crying in the stairs outside of a house. He was covering his face with his little hands while sobbing. I see some tears escaping his hands as I walk towards him.
"Hey, are you ok?" I asked but he just ignored me. "Hey! It's ok, don't cry please." I said while comforting him. He removed his hands on his face and flicked his head towards me, still sobbing.
"I have some lollipop!" I grinned while handing the lollipop to him. "Please don't cry now." I added. I gave the lollipop to him as I heard a little 'thanks'.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked him again. I sat besides him and leaned forward hands on the sides of me looking at him. He just stared at my eyes while opening his lollipop I gave him. His eyes were brown, it's so beautiful. The brown eyes started blinking as he said something.
"Hindi ako sinama ni mama," he said letting out a little sigh as he popped the lollipop into his mouth, pouting.
He's handsome. Those eyes"Oh." I answered, and a little chuckle escaped my mouth. "It's okay! I'm here naman!" I said while leaning closer to him smiling as my little legs started swaying.
...
Bringing back those memories few years ago was nostalgic. It was one of the memory that I can't forget untill now. That boy was sobbing because hindi siya sinama ng mama niya. Well, dati naman hindi din ako sinama ng mama ko nung may pupuntahan siya, dahilan para umiyak din ako. Chuckling as my feet walked towards the Bus Station, head facing down.
"Devin! Devin!" a soft voice calling my name. Flicking my head around looking for that voice, I saw a girl. Naka-tali yung buhok niya, may glasses, medyo chubby yung cheeks, cute eyes and a glittering nose. She wears the school uniform as mine. She saw me looking at her. She's cute.
"Devin, right?" she asked, grinning at me. Holding her books in the right of her arm. "By the way, I'm Lumiere Nathalie Estrella, Luna for short, Nice to meet you!" nakangiting saad niya. I smiled back at her.
Naglakad kami papuntang bus and umupo kami sa may bakanteng upuan. She's in the window side. I opened my phone to check my social media.
"Alam mo ba Devin? Your mom talks about you a lot," she chuckled while looking through the mirror. "Si mama talaga," I sighed and grinned at her. "Well, she talks a lot about your achievements, your manners and kung gaano ka daw ka-pogi," saad niya habang nakangiti.
"Well, she's not wrong," dagdag niya. I quickly turned red dahil sa sinabi niya, putting my hand over my face as I turn red. She grinned at me, and I smiled back.
I saw a familiar image over the hallways as Luna and I walking. Seeing Nico with that girl from the cafeteria yesterday gave me a pang of jealousy. Why am I even getting jealous sa babaeng yon?
Fuck this.
Colin saw me and waved hello as he walked towards me.
"Devin, nice catch huh?" nakangiting bulong niya.
"Oh, shut up Colin." I grunt.
"Hey, Luna, this is Colin, my best friend."
"Nice to meet you!" Luna said grinning at Colin.
"Well, I got to go to my class na, bye Devin!"
Waving goodbyes at me nagpaalam na si Luna para sa klase niya mamaya habang ako naman ay kinukuha ang mga kailangan para sa klase ko sa aking locker. I felt a hand on my shoulder as Colin called my name.
"Hey, Devin," he called. Shifting his body besides me.
"Why do you look so not-good these days?" pag-aalala niya. I let out a sigh as I answered him. "Ah. Wala lang to, don't worry."
...
We headed to our own classroom. Pagpasok ko palang sa loob ng classroom, I saw the three bullies chatting and laughing. I flicked my head down when they saw me. I felt their gazes on me, goose bumps on my skin as I sat in my chair.
Our teacher started the class.
...
"Mr. Dela Cruz? Are you there? Hello..?" a king ikinagulat nung ako'y tinawag ng teacher namin habang siya'y nagdidiscuss.
"Mr. Dela Cruz, kanina ka pa naka tulala? Something's wrong?" she asked na may halong pag-aalala.
I heard Stephen and Isaiah chuckled as my teacher asked me. Ayan nanaman sila.
"Um.. Okay lang po ako Ma'am, may iniisip lang po," I answered. She nodded and continued the discussion.
...
I met Luna in the hallways while I'm walking towards the cafeteria.
"Hey!" pagtawag niya. "Let's eat lunch, yeah?" She grabbed my forearm while running into a group of people in the table, three people was there, their faces automatically looked at me while I'm holding my bag of lunch.
"Hey guys! Si Devin nga pala," saad niya habang pinapakilala ako ni Luna sa kanyang mga kaibigan. They just gave me a gaze and a smile. I smiled at them back.
"Ooh, a cute guy huh?" The girl who's reading a book in her right arms said as she grinned looking at Luna.
"By the way Devin, this girl right here is Stephanie and this girl right here naman na may binabasang book ay si Claudette while this boy right here is Martin!" she introduced.
I gave them a little "Hello" as I sit next to Luna.
Colin came by my side as he sat besides me smiling at me. "And… Who's this guy?" Martin pointing at Colin with a questioning look at his face. "Oh, This is Colin, Devin's best friend!" Luna said.
"There's a party going on bukas!" Colin said while popping a nachos into his mouth. "Pupunta kayo?" pagtatanong sa'min ni Colin while chewing his food.
"Ahh, busy ako bukas eh," Stephanie said.
"Ako din, may lakad kasi kami ng mama ko,"Claude said.
"Busy din ako bukas eh," Martin said.
I popped a sandwich into my mouth as I glanced at Colin.
"I don't really like parties," Luna said leaning in the table.
"Ikaw Devin? Sasama ka?" tanong niya.
"Umm, yeah sure! Wala naman akong gagawin eh," I answered. Colin gave me a grin as he popped more nachos into his mouth.
...
The Music was loud, sweaty bodies everywhere. Some of them are drunk lying on the floor while ako naman ay tinitignan lang sila. Arms crossing around my chest as I watch Colin stumbling while walking towards me.
"Hey-"
"No I don't want to drink," I answered quickly dahil alam ko namang yayayain niya akong uminom.
"Just one?" Colin said habang hinahawakan ang bote ng alak sa kanyang kanang kamay at baso sa kanyang kaliwa.
"No."
"Please, just one!" saad niya while pouting.
"Fine... Just one lang ha!" I said while taking the cup on his hands and Colin poured the drink into the cup.
This smells bad. I hate alcohol to be honest. Taking a deep breathe, I gulped the entire alcohol down my throat and let out a sight. It even tastes bad.
"Isa panga..." Colin flicked his head when he heard me said that. He automatically poured the drink in my cup.
"Isa pa."
"Isa pa."
"Isa pa..."
…
"It's warm" I thought to my self. I smiled as I snuggle my head closer into this thing. It was hard yet comfortable. I tugged the blankets around my chest feeling the blankets strangely smooth and soft around me. I felt two arms hugging me while I nuzzled closer in to the source of warmth. Groggy and still feels grumpy. Forcing my eyelids to open, facing a hard chest close at my face. I flicked my head upwards. My sight is still blurry, I didn't recognize what it was.
Blinking, still confused. I raised both of my hands and I rubbed my eyes. Forcing my heavy eye lids to open, I woke up. Feeling the sheets under me, muscular arms hugging me tightly in the bed. Face buried in the chest. It smells good. I flicked my head upwards and saw a familiar looking guy.
Nico!
Nag-madali akong bumangon sa kama, ngunit pinigilan ako ng isang malakas na kamay. He hugged me more tightly, making it more hard to escape.
