HAHAHA! [i]"It's like a waited my whole life, For this one night... It's gon'be me you and the dancefloor...."[/i] The lights suddenly turned dim. "So Close" by John McLaughlin played.. He held me hand and moved me to the dance floor.. At that moment, it's like everything blocked out... the screams, the people, the flashes. It's like it was just him and me... Corny, but so true. Tahimik lang kami, it's like, we were both cherishing the moment. Nakakatawa pa, nugn una kasi, medyo kinakabahan ako? I guess he sensed it. I put my hand on his shoulders, tas kinuha niya yung isa, nilagay niya sa kamay niya, imbis na yung both hands on his shoulders? Yung isa hawak niya. Yehey! I noticed that i was the only one he danced with this way. Haha, shocks, ang loser ko talaga. Haha. Well yun, i guess we were jsut silent, enjoying each other's company, not talking. Medyo napalapit na ko saknya, dumami na kasi tao sa floor. I couldnt see his face anymore, parang, magka-hug na kasi kami nun (grabe, So Close nga! haha) Bigla... Narinig ko siyang magsniff, i just ignored it. Tas nagsiff nanaman siya, i paused, then looked at him, namumula na mata niya. Nashock ako, parang, "why?".. So i asked. Sabi niya, wala, nakuha lang daw siya nung moment. Tas snayaw nalang niya ako ulit. Ang weird.. Pero yun, sumayaw nalang kami. Ang prom namin, medyo late. As in, the next day kasi break, tas sa susunod, Graduation na. Oo! Ganon kabilis. It's like our going away party. Kaya after ng Prom, ayun, iyakan, lalake man o bading, lahat nagiiyakan.. Hig dito hug diyan, "il'll miss you" dito, "i'll miss you" diyan.. Medyo magulo na nun eh, kaya yun. I headed down the stairs to talk with my girlfriends, we talked about how we'd all go to different schools, some in different countries. We talked about spending the whole summer togther and how we should never replaced each other on our featured friends list. Haha. Funy, but we really loved each other. Pababa si Keith ng stairs kasama buddies niya. Hinug ko sila Will, naiyak pa kaming dalawa. Dami rin kaming pinagsamahan.. sabay binulong niya "Tama na, kay Keith naman" tas kiniss niya ko lightly sa cheeck, the friendly kiss we'd always give each other, di ko lang naman sa kanya ginagawa, pati sa iba ko pang close guy friends... All of them, except for Keith. Lumapit siya sakin, hinug ako, ang higpit, ang weird.. Humiwalay din ako agad, i didn't wanna be discovered, that i was still in love with him, and that i probably might always be. So our hug basically lasted for about 10 seconds lang. Bitin, sobrang bitin. But we said our goodbyes, our "i'll miss you"'s and our goodnights.. It felt sad, it felt true.. But i know, hangang dun nalang talaga. Me and the gals had a sleepover, iiyakan kami dun thinking about memories. Of course, napagusapan namin si Keith and how they told me that he seriously liked me. Suddenly, my phone got a text. Keith: Hey honey.
