Best Friend (BL)

Chapter 2

"What's with Kayle? Ang sama makatingin,parang kakatayin na ko ng buhay eh",napapakamot ulong ani ni Ethan,pagkaupong pagkaupo nito sa tabi ko. Agad naman akong napatingin sa gawi ni Kayle,but he's smiling when our eyes met,"Namamalik mata ka lang ata,ngiting ngiti ang gago oh",baling ko kay Ethan,napaikot mata naman ito,"Pakopya na nga lang ng assignment sa science",pag iibang topic nito, habang hinahalungkat na ang bag ko,kapal talaga,pero hinayaan ko na lang siya,nasanay nako jan eh, he's smart actually,sadyang tamad lang,ewan ko ba jan

Pagkalipas ng ilang minuto,dumating na din sawakas ang teacher namin,and start the lecture.

"So ano na palang balita? Did you confess? Kayo na ba?",biglang tanong ni Ethan,habang nakatutok ang paningin sa harap,"Pinagsasabi mo jan? Didn't i already tell you na,I don't have any plan to confess?",sagot ko naman dito

"Eh? Malapit na tayo magtapos sa junior high,and we'll be super busy after that,saka aren't you afraid na,baka maunahan ka? What if you're too late?",tanong ulit nito,"Hindi lahat gusto ng gusto nila hoy",dagdag pa nito

"Ulol,hindi nga ako gusto nun,kulit mo and besides,i treasure our friendship more,so what if huli na ang lahat? So what if pagsisihan ko yun? At least I won't lose our friendship",sagot ko naman,natahimik naman si Ethan dahil dito,and he didn't say anything again,and just listen to our lesson

"Malapit na final exam natin,anong plano niyo?", biglang tanong ni Ethan,nandito kami ngayon sa canteen, we're having our lunch

"Mag aral, obvious ba?",pagsusungit ni Kayle,inikotan naman ng mata ni Ethan si Kayle,natawa na lang ako sakanila, although they're acting like this toward each other,alam ko namang they're really good friends

"Group study na lang tayo?Chace ano na? Sa bahay tayo,wala naman dun sila mama eh,saka para matulungan niyo na din ako sa mga subject na hindi ko alam",pagmamakaawa nito sakin. Nangunot naman agad noo ni Kayle dahil dito,"Kapal mo pre,ang pagkakaalala ko kasali ka sa honor list ah",taas kilay na saad nito,"Ayaw mo lang mag aral mag isa eh",dagdag pa nito

Agad namang natawa si Ethan dahil dito,"Oops nahuli",ani pa nito,"Pero sige na kasi,para bond na din natin,malapit na tayo mag moving up,malay ko ba kung magkikita kita pa tayo, next school year, senior high students na tayo,sure busy na tayo lahat",sunod sunod na saad nito,may pa palo palo pa sa table, pinag titinginan tuloy kami dahil sakanya

"Sige na sige na,just stop doing that, pinagtitinginan tayo,nakakahiya ka!",suway ko rito,napanguso naman ito saka binaling na lang sa pagkain ang atensyon niya

What Ethan said make me lost in thoughts,what if nga mangyari yun?what if we never get to see each other? What if he found someone special? What would i do?

Napatitig na lang ako kay Ethan na tahimik na kumakain.

"You ok? Ang tahimik mo ata masyado,kanina ka pa,may problema ba?",nagaalalang tanong ko kay Kayle,naglalakad kami ngayon pauwi

Napatigil ako sa paglalakad ng bigla siyang huminto,"I..",he utter,pero agad ding natahimik,napakunot noo naman ako dahil dito,"What is it?",tanong ko rito ng mapansing he's hesitant

Napahinga muna ito ng malalim,"It just that... Napaisip lang ako about sa sinabi ni Ethan",panimula nito,napatango naman ako, signaling him to continue,"Ilang araw na lang mag tatapos na tayo ng junior high,and start our journey as senior high students,and we'll be very busy,what if we don't have time to each other,what if you found new friends and forget about me? Us?",he continues,natigilan naman ako dahil dito,i don't know what got into me,but i have this urge to tell him what's running inside my mind

"Shouldn't i be the one who should overthink that? Like Kayle, there's a big possibility na you'll be the one who'll do that,i mean you're famous,a lot of people want to befriend you",mahinang saad ko,kitang kita ko naman how he's facial expression soften,"I'm actually not sure why you befriend me, there's nothing special about me,you think if you found new friends,you won't forget me? Impossible",dagdag ko pa,at di ko na namalayan na unti unti na palang pumapatak ang mga luha ko

Kayle slowly approach me and then hug me, caressing my back

"Stop saying that nga,you know how much i treasure you Chace, you're more than special to me,alam mo yan,and stop thinking na, I'll forget you,that would never happened,i promise,as long as you won't push and told me off, hinding hindi kita kakalimutan at iiwan Chace",mahinang ani nito and tighten his grip,I didn't say anything and just buried my face on his chest and cry my eyes out
