Can We Make It Right?

CHAPTER 1.1: Kath

CHAPTER 1.1 (Kath)

"Miss, magpapakamatay ka ba?" Shout of an angry man who nearly bump me.

"Anong magpapakamatay kuya? Kung magpapakamatay ako, Bakit pa sa maliit mong pedicab akong magpapabangga?" I shout as loud as his then leave like nothing happened.

I'm on my way home. Now, walking beside the gutter after that wild encounter. Still thinking about Chase.

I can't stop visualizing his hypnotizing smile. Though it rarely appears because he seems like a serious type of guy. Which I don't like. Snob turns me off. But he's a cute snob so nevermind. I like him. Even he's not that tall just like the man in my dreams, God blessed him with angelic face. Serious angelic face. I know he's happy meeting me. I can see him trying to hold his smile in front of me. Which makes him more adorable. The year isn't officially starting yet but I think I already met my purpose.

But why? of all the boys I've flirt before, he's the least convinced with my eye-catching beauty. I'm sure I smell good. I almost bathe myself with the perfume I secretly stole from sneaking into my sister's room. It's Bvlgari that's why I'm sure I don't smell like a tita. My highwaist is also perfectly fit. I don't have newborn pimple, brushed my teeth twice this morning. No sign of bad breath or exposed booger or smelly underarms or anything that could turn him off.

I am also hundred percent sure I'm not ugly. Even if we ask my two thousand followers on IG. my suitors are lined up but I can't see my future-fiance among them. Maybe because I just met the one.

But he seems not interested at all. I can't see glitter on his eyes while talking to me. I'm not used to this. Am I just rejected? A boy who's not interested with a girl? with pretty girl like me? Hmm?

"Titoooooo!" I shout as I reach home and go straight in our parlor beside. I saw my tito Brook sitting on a parlor chair. Blushing. He's definitely talking again to his boyfriend who just cheated on him recently.

"Ay? Bati na agad?" I ask in disbelief.

"Ay? Inggitera? Palibhasa walang jowa?" He answers. "Kath, pikit ka dali!" He commands.

I obey immediately expecting he's planning to surprise me with a gift since he's in a good mood.

"Ayan!" He says "ang inggit, dapat pinipikit!" He chuckles.

What. a. surprise.

"Nagbati lang naman kayo kasi nabigay mo na siguro 'yung sapatos na pinaorder mo sakin sa Lazada!" I exclaims in disappointment. "Magjojowa-jowa, hindi naman marunong umorder online"

"Teka, teka, bakit ka ba andito? At ang lakas lakas nanaman ng sigaw mo?" He asks irritatedly before the topic completely goes to his desperate lovelife.

"may itatanong kasi ako" I answer.

"Haynako, Kath! Kung tungkol nanaman 'yan sa kung paano ka magkakajowa? Lubaylubayan mo na 'ko at ibang engkanto na ata ang nangsumpa sa'yo"

What an attack. He maybe so mean but I grew up hearing those. I'm not affected anymore.

"Hindi!" I answer with eyes rolling. "Pero connected parin" the smile with full hope.

"Pano mo nalalaman kapag bakla yung isang lalaki?" I whisper

"Ay bakit? Galit ka sa bakla?" He stops typing and look at me. A look like I stole his boyfriend.

"Hindi titoo!" I deny. "Meron kasi akong nakilala sa school tapos sa ganda kong 'to, parang wala man lang siyang interes sakin"

"Kahit naman ako kapag naging lalaki, di kita papansinin no. mukha kang may kabag dyan sa highwaist mo" he loudly answers and laughs annoyingly.
