UNDER Series #1: I'm in love with your eyes.

Maaga akong pumasok ng eskwelahan, kasi wala rin naman akong gagawin sa bahay.

Hindi pa rin umuuwi sila Drix at Cadis kaya ako lang ang pumapasok mag isa, at mas gusto ko rin yun dahil walang nagbabantay sa akin.

As I reached the sixth floor, I walked straight to the rooftop, but I didn't enter the door yet.

Tahimik lang akong nakaupo sa may hagdan when I saw someone entered the gate, I suddenly smiled when I saw who was it.

"Ang aga mo ah?" I smiled.

He looked at me blankly, "Bakit andito ka?" tanong niya sa akin at tuluyang nilampasan ako dahil nasa likuran ko ang pintuan. I stood up as he reached my position.

"This is also my safe place." Sabi ko at tska sumunod sa kanya ng binuksan ang pinto, medyo mainit ngayon at doon lang din kami pwemesto sa may lilim.

"Sabi nila you're always absent and missing in action sa lahat ng school activities, so bakit ka andito?" I asked as I looked and sat on the wooden chair as he lifted his feet.

"Edi nawalan ng paglaban sa nationals tong school natin kapag di ako pumasok?" Mayabang na sagot nya sa akin.

Natawa na lang ako at hinayaan ko na lang sya, tama naman sya eh. Siya naman talaga ang nilalaban sa national ng school namin. Ngayon na napa isip tuloy ako kung sino sa kanila ni Cadis ang matalino. Cadis was a genius but so are he is.

He was resting his eyes while sitting. I was looking at him, remembering what I thought last night.

I walked toward his direction and lifted my hands to cover his face to prevent the sun rays from hitting his face. He slowly opened his eyes as he looked at me.

My heart started to pound again as I saw his eyes, and I guarantee that I'm just attracted to his eyes and not to him. I was staring at him blankly. My heart stopped momentarily as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him.

As the sun ray aimed at his eyes, I was totally lost in words as to how his eyes shone as he looked at me.

"Uhm, what are you doing?" His brows furrowed as he asked those questions while holding my wrist.

I snapped back to reality when I realize that he grabbed my free arm that is holding his cheeks now. Hindi ko namalayan na gumalaw na pala ang kamay ko para sana mahawakan ang pisngi niya.

The corner of his lips started to arch as I looked at him, "Hinihintay mo ba ako kanina sa hagdan?" He asked again to change the topic without breaking our eye contact.

I couldn't even focus on his words as I stared into his eyes. It was just so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off him. He snaps his finger in front of me as I return to reality.

"Huh? Hindi ah!" Agad na bawi ko sa sinabi nya at sinabukang bawiin ang mga kamay ko pero ayaw niyang bitawan. "W-what if bitawan mo ako?" I shuttered as tried to have my hands backed pero ayaw nya talaga.

"Bakit hindi mo ako nilayuan?" He asked seriously.

"Ha?"

"I almost killed you." He muttered, my eyes were locked into his eyes, "You almost died because of me." He added.

My brain went blank as he said those words,  referring to the night we first met.

"Then why didn't you stay away from me?" I asked back, answering his question with another question.

Malakas ang tibok ng dibdib ko. I know and I'm sure he saw what I looked like that night.

Gusto ko malaman ang rason kung bakit hindi niya ako nilayuan at hinahayaan lang mapalit sa kanya. Knowing that he saw who I really am that night. He was just staring at me holding both of my wrists.

The wind started to get heavy, and the sun was now slowly covered with dark clouds. The weather seemed to know what we were talking about as it influenced our mood.

"Cause I know you're not that bad," he said, making my eyes furrowed.

"What?"I asked.

"You saved me." he paused, "I can't judge someone who saved my life," he added plainly.

He was staring at me deeply, and I didn't know how to respond. He caught me off guard.

"I-I killed someone that night," I confessed.

This was my first time confessing to someone, not because of how I felt towards them but because I killed someone.

Hindi ko alam ang rason pero napakalakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko, nanlalamig ang kamay ko na ngayon ay hawak nya parin.

May mali talaga akong nararamdaman para sa kanya. It is not bad...but its not good either..

"But then, you still saved me." Words from him that made me so confused.

Sinabi ko na nakapatay ako ng gabing yun, peor okay lang sa kanya kasi niligtas ko siya? Normal people's reaction is to go mad, or be disgusted, or terrified by my sudden confession but...he wasn't.

My heart dropped as I saw him smile at me.

"Even if you're the most dangerous person I could have encountered, I would still be thankful for you." He said in a soft tone.

Those words struck me directly as I felt my tears were about to fall. It was the dumbest thing I had ever heard, but somehow, I felt like it was something that I needed the most.

Malakas kong hinila ang kamay ko sa kaniya at tumalikod. I don't want him to see that his words affected me.

It gives me so much calm as I feel like I now receive the validation I need the most. I've killed a lot of people for the sake of others, but yet I didn't receive any good words from them.

I want them to acknowledge what I made for them.

"Hey? Are you okay?" he asked as I turned my back to him.

Inangat ko ang ulo ko at pinalobo ang pisngi para pigilan ang pag iyak ko.

"Shit, mukha kang pufferfish." usal nito na ngayon ay nasa harap ko na.

Agad ko namang binalik ang maayos kong mukha at tinitigan siya ng masama.

Kailan pa ako naging mukhang isda?!

"Shit, ngayon mukha ka naman priacanthus!" sabi pa nito sabay takip sa bibig nya na parang gulat na gulat.

"Ano?!" I asked in an irritated tone. The calmness that I felt earlier faded, and I just wanted to cut his tongue because of what he said.

"Wala, tara may klase pa." He denied as he smiled at me. Dahilan para ma pako nanaman ako sa kinatatayuan ko.

His smile really makes me calm.

Hinatak nya na ako para mag simula maglakad ng medyo natagalan ako sa pag kilos dahil sa kanya. I was like a kid following his command.

The view of him dragging me suddenly reminds me of my Kuya...
