SAFARRAH POV
"please, even if it's just today, hon. " my mother begged.
" what the hell shaina! can you shut your f*cking mouth?! " dad shouted and he pushed mom.
" this day is really important to us hon, it's our anniversary please give it to me. " mom added.
" IMPORTANT?! it's only important to you, not mine. " dad answered I saw my mom cried again. I know the feeling of being hurt. It hurts me to see mom crying.
" because what? are you going to see your girl? you always go there. I AM YOUR WIFE DENSON! we're having a child-"
"so why do you need to cheat on me? " mom added.
"yeah, wife? child? at first yes I was happy. But what? you are the reason why I am like this today. So don't ask me "why". " dad answered sarcastically and then he left.
why their always arguing? they did not agree. We're not like this before.
Mom is always chasing my dad even if she always hurts. We always ask dad for time, mom always asks dad for attention.
Mom told me that dad had an affair with another woman. But it's not too late
mom who is that
I just shook my head and decided to go to the bedroom, get a hoodie and go downstairs.
"Sweetie? where are you going? " I turned around, it's mom.
"I'll go to dryz mom first. I said and smiled.
"take care. she answered.
(TIME SKIP)
" aunt madi? where's dryz po? I asked.
" hey farrah, are you dryz? he is in the garden. Aunt Madi answered and smiled.
"Okay, thank you. I said.
while i was walking.
"Who is the girl you are always with? " a girl? who is he?
"oh, it's safarrah. " I heard dryz answer.
"Maybe it's him, I'm jealous of him" the girl said which stopped me.
"why? she's my friend. So why are you jealous? " dryz asked.
" You are always together, then I noticed that the girl friend of yours seems to like you. she answered.
" ah haha no it's not like that Venice. Of course she's my childhood friend. " dryz answered.
I saw the girl's face, she's pretty. I was stunned, she was beautiful, brunette and seemed kind. Her name is Venice by the way.
" but even so, I'm still jealous because you two are closer than us. Venice said.
" So you told me that you have a crush on me and I have the same crush on you, I hope your friendship is just a distance. I was shocked. Does he want me to avoid that?
"hmm, she's always there for me even if I don't need her. " dryz answered. If so...
" Huh? hahaha funny is he squeezing himself into you? " Venice said jokingly.
"yeah like that. " dryz answered.
"Do you like him? she asked. I smiled.
I held my chest, it was beating one after another. Why bother me? but does dryz really like me?
"No. Actually I hate her. she's so naughty and always seems to need attention. " I wiped the tears that fell from my cheeks.
After that I didn't listen to it at least I know the side and I heard it from dryz myself.
But even if he doesn't like me, I won't stop.
I am Safarrah Swayze, a 14 year old girl. And he's aeson dryz enrille my ultimate crush.
SAFARRAH POV
" dryz! can we be together? I asked.
he stared at me and later on he answered "sure" he bored answered which made me smile.
" will you ride a motorcycle? " I asked in surprise.
does he know how can I hurt him?
"yeah" he answered.
"Wait! what? are you sure you know? I asked nervously.
"tsk, what do you think? " he asked back.
" Can we take a taxi? maybe the uncle and aunt didn't know that they were driving a motorcycle, uncle said it would be okay to drive a car first. I said.
"pshh, if you don't want then I won't force you. he said.
"I didn't say anything that I didn't like" I replied and left.
"Wait! how is it? Hey, I don't know how to-"
" AHH DRYZ! " I shouted as he picked me up.
" did you get it? " he asked and got on. He was so fast that I didn't even notice.
" how can I get it you carried me? " I said annoyed which made him laugh.
I'm not used to what he expects now, he's such a moody guy. Or am I just assuming?
I grabbed his shoulder, I didn't know if I was holding his waist or his shoulder.
I gasped when he took my hand and put it on his waist. Maybe he also noticed my look.
I stared at him so seriously. Why is he so always serious? that you can't joke.
He's so handsome. So how can I stop myself from falling in love with him? sometimes that makes me think of the woman he was talking to, Venice.
He's so sweet with Venice. When he talks Venice his voice is so calm, he laughs.
But when I do, you think I'm always angry or on my period. He was very naughty then until now.
" stop staring at me like that, you might melt later. he chuckled.
I smiled because of that, he speaks Tagalog very slang.
"hey, are you sleeping? " he asked as I leaned my face against his back.
" nah, I can't sleep" I smiled i hope we are always like this.
(TIME HAS PASSED)
"we're here" I stopped when he removed his helmet, his hair was messed up as if he had just slept.
"Hey. he said. I returned to my trance and slowly descended.
" WAIT WAIT! I can't remove the helmet because it's hanging on my earring. " I said annoyed. That's why I don't want to ride a motorcycle because you can take a taxi.
" remove it! " i added I stopped as I held his hand tightly.
" d-get out b-we're late. "
"gotcha" he said when I removed it I was stunned by how it messed up my hair.
" let's go! " he said and pulled me.
There is something really different about him. I was wondering why he agreed to let me go with him because he didn't want anyone with him.
As I was thinking, I was stopped when I saw the figure of a man, I think it was dryz's age.
he starting me so serious, what is his problem? I think I've seen him before but I can't remember where.
who is he? he's so mysterious.
"Hey! safarrah, let's go! " said dryz annoyed which brought me back to my trance.
"S-ige" I answered, I looked back to where I saw the man, but he was gone.
"DRYZ! finally you're here. " I turned my gaze to the woman.
it's venice...

SAFARRAH POV
"Farrah! "
"HEY! "
I stopped and turned around because my friend called me.
"sorry I didn't notice" I said.
They even cling to my other arms. "It's fine, so what is it?" Alice said.
" i saw both of you, hmm i smelled something and it was a miracle that you and dryz were together yesterday? she added.
" Yes, is that true, arah? Isha asked.
" ah is that, haha what yes I also don't know why he agreed to let me go with him. I answered.
" oh my god, and you're almost gasping with excitement, did you touch dryz's hand" alice said.
I elbowed him because what he just said was quite powerful, there are also a lot of people walking because we are on the campus of G.H (geniel high school).
" Come on? seriously? It's too bad I didn't see it" said isha.
"Hey, I don't know about you two" I said and removed his hand.
" HEY! WAIT! they shouted.
I laughed and ran straight to the room.
Unexpectedly, I stopped and backed away because I hit the man I bumped into.
I looked up, because it was as tall as dryz.
because of shame I bowed down. "I'm sorry I didn't mean it" I said and slowly walked to his side.
"sorry ule" i said and ran.
"hoo" I wiped my forehead and sat in my seat, our teacher wasn't there yet because it was quite early.
" Safarrah! " when I saw the two in the window, I immediately bowed my head to the arm chair.
"Sleep more amp" Isha promised breathlessly.
"Hey! farrah you know"
"hmm? " I replied.
"There's a new transfer and guess what, he's still our classmate," Alice said.
I am adjusting my seat. "That's why when I first came in there was a lot of whispering" I answered.
" yep, and here's the mheema papi! " Isha screamed making me cry.
"Oh, you can't take Farrah there, just dryz is enough" Alice whispered that you thought I didn't hear.
"Tigi-" I was interrupted by the sudden arrival of sir. enrique and a man with her.
"GOOD MORNING CLASS! " when it gets attention.
"good morning too sir enrique" we answered.
"so class, you have a new classmate. "
I was surprised when I saw him.
"Morning, I am Kib Sanchez. " when introducing it. His voice is very cold, that's how dryz's voice is when he talks to me.
He is the one I bumped into! I bit my lip when he looked at me.
Wait! the way he stared at me! that was so familiar to me.
_____________
it's break time now but nothing came to my mind.
Why is the kib staring at me like that? I couldn't focus on the discussion.
" what's next? don't you plan to eat? hey, you were so stressed, you idiot, Isha said.
"I'm going to eat it" I said and took a bite.
" hi dryz! " i smile, he was with his two friends.
"Can we sit here? " Darrel asked, dryz friend.
" of course, why not? " answered isha immediately.
"baby! " My smile disappeared when I saw Venice, she clung to dryz's arm. What else? they sit next to each other in the chair.
"ahm hi, anyways i'm aiyanna venice" when introducing it.
"eye"
"Alice" said the two.
I took a bite and ignored them but I was stopped when this Venice put her hand in front of me.
" Safarrah. " I tried to smile and shook hands.
"oh, dryz's girl best friend is you" she said I just nodded.
I looked at dryz, they were laughing. The way he talks. his voice is really soft in Venice, hays.
My eyes looked for someone staring at me, and yes it was kib again.
he's so serious, while staring at me.
SAFARRAH POV
" where are you going? Isha asked.
"I'm just going to get something from the library like I left my cellphone there," I replied hesitantly.
" Huh? do you want to join us? Alice asked.
"I'm not easy anymore" I answered.
" or okay so you can find it easily we will call your phone" Alice said.
"Okay, thank you" I said and smiled.
After that I thought of leaving the room. Where did I leave that? I wish it was only there in the library because I went there before going to the classroom.
in my mind I stopped because I saw dryz and venice. I've always felt like this. It hurts when I see him with Venice.
I'm his best friend, but I'm not happy with him. I can't support their relationship.
I just shook my head, and started walking. Even in public they did that, well Venice kissed him on the cheek.
When I got to the library, there were no people because the library is full when there are activities and when there are tests because everything is reviewed.
I walked towards the science books, this is where I stood earlier and maybe this is also where I put my cellphone.
I bit my lip so much that I didn't even find what I was looking for, did anyone get it? I ask myself.
" STOP IT SAFARRAH I AM NOT GIRL 2× " I stared and turned around.
It's kib, he's holding my cellphone! it still has crossed arms.
I wanted to laugh but I couldn't, I laugh when I hear my ringtone when someone calls. When I went to dryz, I was 10 at that time and dryz is 11, I played with his hair and I recorded him getting angry and then I made a ringtone. Corny isn't it?
"is this what you are looking for? " his voice d*mn is delicious to teng- d*mn you farrah! what are you going to say!
"y-yes" I stammered. He smiled.
I feel like I'm about to kneel down because my knees are shaking.
It was walking closer to where I was that I was more nervous.
"here. " he said and took my hand then placed the cellphone in my palm.
" is he your boyfriend? he asked. His voice was so calm as if he was just whispering in my ear. I can't explain it. Her voice is just sexy.
" Huh? who? I asked.
" dryz? " he asked back.
" no, why? " I frowned when he suddenly laughed softly.
"I thought he's your boyfriend. he added.
"h-no ha" I answered and looked around because there might be someone there.
"then, why his voice is put on your ringtone? he asked.
" Because he is my friend. " I answered which made him laugh. Will I be booked? what a shame!
" Anyway, why do you seem scared of me? I will not be able to eat you. he chuckled again.
" ah haha no ha, s-orry I'm just a little uncomfortable. " I answered and scratched the back of my neck.
" I see. "
" Thank you, I really thought I was going to lose my phone. " I said in doubt.
" it's okay, but next time be careful. " he answered making me smile.
"Thank you. I said and started walking-
"wait, anyways what is your name? " he asked stopping me.
" Safarrah, my name is Safarrah. I answered.
"From now on I call you safah" he said.
"no problem, kib. " I said and walked away.
I quickly walked to the girls comfort room. When I reached it, I immediately entered and took a deep breath.
i talk to him i thought he was stubborn nor stuck like dryz but i was wrong.
He is so kind..

" dryz? are you okay? I asked.
"hmm" he nodded.
"You were an idiot earlier" I asked again.
"Farrah.." he said.
I stopped because of my heart beating one after another, it's always like this when I'm in front of him but no, it's different. It's different now.
he stared at my eyes. We stared at each other.
" b-attractive? " my answer.
he smiled which made me laugh. It lay down on the grass while staring at the moon.
"I'm planning to court her. "
I don't know what to say, I'm confused. I thought.. why am I always assuming?
"Hey, Farrah. " it called me.
I was a bit far from him, I was leaning on a tree while he was lying on the grass.
" Huh? ah s-orry who? who will you date? " I asked and tried to smile.
"Aiyanna. hey
I answered frowning.
" Aiyanna? I asked.
"venice. I want to court her next week. he answered.
I smiled even though I already knew who the girl he was going to mention was.
I hope it's just me..
"really? s-where? " I moved my head and you could tell I was really surprised.
" in geniel high school. In our exact game, I will court her. he smiled so sweetly. I thought I was the reason for his smile.
"Can I ask a favor?" he asked.
" of course, what's the favor? I asked too.
"I know you can help me, on the day I court Venice. Can you help me? " he asked at this point he sat down.
Should I give up? will i let him go is there really no hope? One after another, I thought about the question.
"Farrah? are you crying? " he asked with a frown.
I didn't realize that I was in tears, I felt as wet as my cheeks.
I immediately wiped it off and laughed.
" What? why am I crying huh? " I said annoyed here.
" hmm i thought.. " he said and nodded.
"So, can you help me?" he asked.
should i help him? but what about me? why me? maybe it's more painful to see and hear his flirting with Venice.
" but dryz? Why do I still have friends? " I asked and looked up.
it was silent. " your my best friend and I'm your best friend Of course I will ask for your help, I know I can count on you. he smiled.
"Yes" I answered.
"are you sure? " this question seemed to come to life.
"hmm" I said and nodded.
"Thank you Farrah. he happily said.
" That's okay. " I said and stood up..
"wait? where are you going? he asked.
I can't face him. Maybe I'm blushing because of the pain.
"I'm going home, because mom texted me. " i lied and hurried to leave.
" TAKE CARE! he shouted.
when I got out of Dryz's condo, I sat on the wall chair at their exit.
I hugged myself, it hurt so much.
" You just met him dryz huh? why do you immediately like him? I whispered.
" How long will I wait for you dryz?. "
Maybe I'm so stupid because I've done almost everything a man wants in a woman, but she still doesn't have it.
I stopped crying when I noticed someone's shadow.
I wiped my tears and fixed my hair and then looked around.
I shook and stood up from my seat. I didn't pay attention to who it was and started walking.
"Who are you?! " I said annoyed noticing a shadow behind me..
I don't know what to do if I get scared, run or something.
I calmed myself down and continued walking.
Who is that man? I knew it was a boy based on the way he walked.
SAFARRAH POV
" Oh dear, try to make it look even better, especially those sunglasses of yours, take off that bag, your curly hair can still be straight" isha said.
" hahaha no way, my curly hair and sunglasses make me trip more" I answered.
"You do realize that dryz will attract you" when he insisted.
" Hey! Shasha, you're really sulsolera, no, Farrah doesn't want to, so why does she have to do that" Alice replied.
" Besides, you don't need to be pretty just to make dryz like you, let him fall in love with you on his own. If a guy really likes you, he won't look for what you lack in others, so don't listen to Isha" Alice added.
"That's too bad, Alice, when you can advance, it's like there's a jowa, right? Siyaka haler i just want to help our idi*t pren " isha answered.
"Oh no! you're bad at idi*t" I whined.
" So what, are you really going to help that dryz in courting Venice? Alice asked.
I stopped and turned to him. We were walking in the hallway of this university, you just finished class.
"hmm, I think it's mine" I answered.
"Oh, you're really shocking, Farrah. You can be so jealous, then what are you really going to do to help Dryz with his wooing in Venice? " it had a smooth voice that made me feel ashamed. There are many students passing by on our way.
" for what? to hurt you again? she added.
"Alice... He's my best friend so of course I will help him. You know that when I'm with him, I can't help it. " I replied weakly.
"That's why you're good for that reason" he promised.
"Just calm down, you might pass out," Isha said and stroked Alice's back.
"Psshh" said Alice.
" Anyways, Alice Arah is right, you shouldn't do that, or you know that you will only get hurt if you agree. Isha said.
" I like Kib more than that Dryz for you, Aish. Isha added.
" Hey, what's up, Isha! maybe someone will hear from you on that issue! then stop-" i answered.
" If it's dryz, I don't like kib yet? I added.
"You really advance, Kib is really looking at you" isha said.
" You immediately give me an issue, no, it's not because he's looking at me that he likes me. " I answered immediately.
"what-"
"Oh shut up, come on, you're babbling, we're about to cross," Alice said annoyed and pulled us away.
" The man agreed. Alice said.
" hey witches come ride now. Alice added.
"Oki, wait, I'll just continue what was interrupted earlier. As long as Farrah, I'm sure Kib likes you, just think differently! " isha promised emphatically.
" hey, take care of yourself, go ahead, bye! I said and waved my hand.
" won't you go with me? Alice asked.
"I won't just take a taxi anymore. I answered.
" Well, it's almost night, isn't it? why can't this man deliver you? Alice asked again.
"He said he went home to his family, it's okay, I can handle myself" I answered.
"ok you said just be careful" alice said.
"take care farrah" isha said and waved her hand.
" you too. " I answered and walked to the bus stop.
I sighed and sat down. I hope dryz will change his mind.. I whispered.
I leaned my head on the tube I was sitting on. I stopped when a car suddenly stopped in front of me wait...
dryz's car!
I adjusted my seat and frowned.
"Safarrah, come and get in" Dryz said as he got out of his car.
I smiled for no apparent reason.
I stood up and took my bag.
But the smile on my lips disappeared when the window suddenly opened and I saw Venice there...
" HE WILL GET ALONG WITH ME. " I frowned and looked away it's kib?!
"Safarra? " when dryz called me.
I'm having second thoughts, if I go with dryz, it's embarrassing that I'll just look out of place. As for Kib, it's embarrassing because we're not close yet.
"I'll just go along." " I replied hesitantly and walked towards where Kib was.
"okay? " dyrz answered. He got into his car and drove away.
I frowned, I still thought..
"get in safah, it's getting late" I came back to my trance and looked at Kib with a shy face and entered as he opened the door for me.
where he's driving.
" what? is it really okay for you to drop me off? I asked.
he smiled. "yes, why not? he answered.
" huh? " I just said.
"From now on I am your friend" he said.
"whether you like it nor not" he added making me laugh.
" and why don't I like it, huh? " i said it just smiled.
I don't know why but i feel comfortable with this guy, I feel because this is not the first time I met him.
