I deemed myself as a kitten and get grossed out if I imagine myself in Demi Moore's cougar shoes.But I didn't expect to have liked a younger guy who was (not really) way younger than me.Two years to be exact.
I first saw this guy in 2007.I was in my brother's school and was with my parents and sis to pick him up.I was wearing a uniform(from my old school, SSC) when I saw him.He was in Grade five, the same grade as my bro then.If I could remember clearly, his hair reminded me of a three year old boy(his hair was pretty spiky even if it was pretty obvious he had NO gel on).He was with his older bro, who I discovered was also younger than me.The first thing I felt seeing this guy was nothing;I was totally uninterested.His kind of tisoy wasn't my type.
One of my parents asked my bro if he was his classmate and commented how good-looking the boy was(and his brother).All my bro said was,"You don't know how he really is in the classroom."That's short for "He's noisy and yeah, I'm his classmate", I think.
Probably my interest in that Boy was growing somehow even if a majority of me felt nothing.When my parents asked him those questions to my bro, I secretly wanted to know the answer from my bro.Lucky if he mentions his name, which he never did up to this day.And I forgot about that boy, too since I had a crush on someone else at the time.
A few days(probably one or two or three, I forgot) after my bro's first day of school last year, I went with my mom to pick him up from school.And there my bro was...with THE BOY.I didn't realize he got taller. He was already the same height as my brother then(who was 5'6 at the time. Pretty tall for a 6th grader in Don Bosco).He and bro were going to the little sari-sari store outside their school and I heard him calling out to my bro,"Uuwi ka ba?"His voice sounded really binata, unlike most of my bro's friends who still had little boy voices.OMG talaga!
I thought the way he wore his backpack was cute and holding that white plastic bag--whatever it is inside--was cute.I didn't get it; I found myself thinking of a guy who was two years my junior.I know I must not be crushing on him.
A few weeks after that encounter, I attended this seminar where only the grade 6 students and their parents are invited(siblings and yayas optional.)I had an argument with my sis the day before because she didn't agree with me going to bro's school and accused me of being "super boy crazy".I was pretty confused, too;Was I going because I want to see guys to feed my boy craziness?Or was I crazy for a boy that I wasn't sure I liked?
When we arrived in the auditorium of the school, all I did was look for him LIKE CRAZY.
Ano ba ang iniisip mo, Gill?My mind said.I remember my mom and I were seated in the very left corner.It was so mainggay since it was more of a hangout of those grade 6 boys who had PSP's and one of their noisy cries contained 'Naruto!' and more.I remember looking for the Boy and actually thought that I found him.He was seated almost to the right corner of the room (though not the very corner) and was wearing an aqua(or cerulean,I think)colored shirt.I didn't exactly looked at the boy's face but he had the same back profile as the Boy.So, I took turns looking at him and a boy in front of me who I thought was Eugene Herrera(who was one of my fave Q reporters along with food taster Renford...not that I watch Kids on Q.:P)
Suddenly, those stupid,PSP playing grade 6 boys made their voices even louder that every member of the audience looked back.Even the speaker stopped with his boring talk.Of course, I looked back because it was MUCH louder in my place(where the guys where right at the back of me).
It was when I turned my head back to the front that I realize that the Boy was actually in the same row as me(Though he was in the very front).I looked at the wrong guy all along! omgee talaga!
