Nag-aalala ba toh or assuming lang ako? Kasi in game na naman tayo sa kicking the air eh. Delikado na, i can see my thread forming.

^^^ Ataraxia:^^^

^^^“Ahh okii”^^^

Luan 💜 reacted to your message.

Ay walang goodnight? Okay…okay lang naman.

Nang matapos ang aming usapan mga bandang alas quatro ng umaga, napabuntong hininga ako sa mga naiisip ko.

What if…i'm just annoying him?

What if napipilitan lang siya? 

Ang sasakit kaso ayoko munang mag overthink kasi kakausap pa lang ulit namin.

As I said earlier, I can see my thread forming and what I mean by that is the Thread of Fate. Yes, I know it's quite unbelievable but I can see it. 

...︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵...

...Past…....

When I was a child, I started seeing a red string attached to my parents’ hand. I asked my parents why but instead they were confused and there was nothing there. I got confused as well. So I wondered if there's other people who have these strings too. 

That one time when we went out to go to the mall. There are a lot of people who have strings on them, most of them are couples I think? There were different kinds of them, red ones, pink ones, grayish ones, and some are none. 

Once we got home I wrote all of the colors I saw and tried to investigate what’s going on. I researched till I found what I'm looking for. What I was seeing was the Thread of Fate, which was a myth where if two persons have a red string they are destined for each other or should I say true love. Although it does not match with what I'm seeing, it might be similar, but the Thread of Fate is only one color and that is Red while I can see other colors. Maybe it's another version of it but  like what percent do you love that person your string attached to. Maybe that's it! I solved the confusion I had

As I get older, the strings that I can see start to be normal. I won't be shocked like before. I also knew what the colors meant.

Red - is where your love is at 100% or you truly love that person

Pink - it's like you’re having a crush on someone; starting to have feelings

Grayish - it’s where your love started to fade, you feel like there’s no spark anymore between you two. It’s like a breaking rope

None - you have nothing or no strings, because it's either the grayish string has faded, or you have no crush yet.

That's what my understanding says. For me, I have no strings attached yet, I never liked anybody because I made a mission where I will only fall for the right person and be with them forever. It’s quite mature thinking at my age but still.

...︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵...

...Present......

I turned off my phone and went to sleep. I still can’t stop thinking about him and my thread also…

Next morning, i woke up at 7am as usual para asikasuhin ang mga kapatid ko. After that, I went back to sleep because why not? Klase ko naman is nagsisimula ng 12pm kaya its okay to sleep a bit more.

Nagising ulit ako tas nag ayos na rin para sa pagpasok. Though I can't help but think, what if he knows that I have feelings but just pretending? Tama na nga kakaisip, makapag-aral na nga.

After the class, it was already 2:50pm. So bumaba kami nila Gem at Aina to the canteen, once we entered. Ang nakita ko is si Luan..NAKATALI BUHOK NIYA?!? Naalala ko tuloy yung sinabi niya kagabi na kaya niyang ipitin yung buhok niya. What if inipit niya yan para lang makita ko? Eto na naman tayo sa pagiging delusional at assuming.

Hindi napansin nila Aina si Luan pero nakita kong tumingin siya at ngumiti with a peace sign pa nga. Damn!! My heartttt ang cutee!! 

I smiled back at him syempre hiding the fact na kinikilig deep inside. Once na nakabili na sila ng pagkain sa canteen, kwinento ko sakanila habang naglalakad palabas. 

Habang naglalakad, nakita ko siya sa gilid ng hallway. Naiwas ako ng tingin tas katabi ko pa si Gem nun, i said na nandun si Luan ilang times pero narealize niya lang nung malapit na, eh naout of balance si Aina and nadapa si Gem. Ayun nagtawanan kami and i dont know kung nakita ni Luan ang nangyari pero nakakahiya din ng unti but its fine

Nako nga naman….Tinulungan ko si Gem at sinamahan namin siya ni Aina papunta sa classroom nila.

“Ansakit ng buong katawan ko…” ang reklamo ni Gem na pinagtawanan lang namin na sumama rin siya

I still can't take my mind off that smile of his…Cutie niya talaga!!!
