notes : sudden transitions, taglish, ...

The school bell chimed, its echoes signaling the end of another day's classes. The classroom, once abuzz with the energy of students, fell into a hushed silence as your advisor's soothing voice broke through, "Good day, class." In perfect unison, your classmates responded with a polite, "Good day, sir." With practiced efficiency, everyone gathered their books, stuffed them into their bags, and made their way out of the classroom, leaving the cleaners to their routine.

You slung your bag over your shoulder and quickly caught up with your best friend, who was practically vibrating with excitement. She didn't wait for you to reach her but eventually noticed you lagging behind and slowed down to walk beside you. Suddenly, her eyes widened, as if a lightbulb had switched on in her mind.

"Te! Kilala mo ba 'yung lalaking naka-beanie?" Do you know the guy with a beanie? she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"Sino?" Who? you replied, furrowing your brow as you tried to conjure an image of the person she was describing.

"Mahaba ang buhok, nakatago sa beanie, brown ang suot, cute!" Long hair hidden under a beanie, brown outfit, cute! You both came to a halt and found an empty bench outside a building, deciding to sit down for a moment. "I still don't know who you're talking about, pero, mukhang campus crush mo, ah! Uyy, si Thea may crush na!" I still don't know who you're talking about, but is he your new campus crush? Uy! You already have a crush! You playfully teased her, a mischievous grin forming on your lips.

"Gaga, 'di ah, loyal lang ako kay... alam mo na. Para tayong elementary, what is this behavior!?!" No, I'm loyal to... you know who. We're acting like elementary students, what is this behavior?!? She playfully nudged your shoulder.

"Well, sino ba 'yung beanie guy na sinasabi mo?" Well, who are you even talking about? "

"Moreno siya... OH! Alam ko na! May na-describe kang guy na parang siya, sabi mo dati na high school sweetheart mo dati, anyare ba?" He's Moreno... OH! I know! You described someone like him before, you said that he was your high school sweetheart back then, what happened? She finally recalled, her face lighting up with recognition.

"Sino kasi... A- Alan, Alias, Aldrin... Axel, OH! Alex! Siya nga yung nakita namin!" What's his name again... A- Alan, Alias, Aldrin, Axel ... OH! Alex! Him! She glanced around, trying to jog her memory, until her gaze landed on an Axe body spray advertisement, prompting her to excitedly exclaim the name.

"ALEX?!?!? IMPOSIBLE! Matagal na silang lumipat sa America!" That's impossible! They moved to America so long ago! Your eyes widened with sudden realization.

"Girl, Airplanes exist, Cars exist, Transportation exists," she countered, a hint of amusement in her voice.

"I know, but, why is he here, anong ginagawa niya dito?! and saan mo siya nakita?" I know, but why is he here? What is he doing here?! Where did you even see him?

"Habang naglalakad kami kanina ni Lia sa halls papuntang room, nakita namin siya kinakausap yung guard natin, parang may hinahanap or hinihintay." While Lia and I were heading to class, we saw him talking to the guard but he was finding or waiting for something.

"What if hinahanap ka niya... Uyyy!" What if he's looking for you... Uyyy! Your best friend added with a knowing look, raising her eyebrows playfully.

"Ewan ko sayo. Baka magalit na roommate ko dahil late ako makakauwi!" I don't know what you're talking about. My roommate might be upset that I'm coming home late! With that, you grabbed your bag and hastily made your way towards the exit.

"Huy! Y/N HINTAYIN MOKO! TRAFFIC PA MO!!" Huy! Y/N WAIT FOR ME! IT'S STILL TRAFFIC! You heard Thea yell, her voice trailing behind you.

In your hurry, you failed to notice what was directly in your path, and you accidentally collided with someone. "AY!" you screeched as you stumbled and tumbled over the person.

You heard the person beneath you groan in response, and as you slowly opened your eyes, you felt as if fate had thrown you an unexpected curveball.

"Alex." "Y/N." You both said each other's names simultaneously, the shock evident in your voices.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?!" you asked in disbelief, your mind racing with a whirlwind of questions.

"Ikaw! What are you doing here?!" He inquired, his expression mirroring your surprise.

"Dito ako nag-aaral, ano ka ba!" I go here! Your voice quivered with astonishment.

"Helloo! I came here to pick up my girlfriend!" He replied dragging out the o, a wry smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"Oh! May girlfriend ka na pala! Ang sakit naman! Ouch! Parang tinamaan ako ng bulkang Mayon!" Oh! You have a girlfriend now! How hurtful! Ouch! I feel like the Mayon volcano dropped on me! You couldn't help but be sarcastic, even in this unexpected situation.

"Can you please get off me?" He tried to be polite, but your stubbornness got the better of you, and you didn't budge.

"Oh! Ow! I should get a chiropractor and a therapist after FALLING FOR YOU! Gosh! How embarrassing!" Your banter continued, seemingly unstoppable.

As the two of you playfully argued, you both failed to notice that your best friend and his girlfriend were trying to intervene, and a stern-looking guard was approaching. It wasn't until the guard shouted at both of you that you finally ceased your banter.

"HOY! KAYONG DALAWA DIYAN! TAYO! PARA KAYONG MGA BATA! NAGAAWAY SA LAPAG! MAS MATURED PA MGA 2 YEARS OLD KESA SA INYO!" THE TWO OF YOU! GET UP! YOU ARE LIKE CHILDREN! ARGUING ON CONCRETE! TWO-YEAR OLDS ARE MORE MATURED THAN BOTH OF YOU! The guard scolded both of you, his stern voice echoing in the corridor. You and Alex finally came to your senses, stood up, and dusted yourselves off, all the while feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Sundan niyo 'ko, maguusap kayong dalawa!" Follow me! Both of your are going to talk and make up! The guard's no-nonsense tone left no room for argument.

The four of you obediently followed the guard, but your best friend and Alex's girlfriend were soon asked to stay back. It seemed this conversation was meant to be private.

As you and Alex settled into chairs on opposite sides of a table, the room felt more like a police interrogation room than a place for a casual chat.

"Mag-uusap kayo! Nasa labas akong manonood, kung 'di kayo mag-uusap, tignan nalang natin kung makukuha mo pa degree niyo," I'm only outside, if you are not going to make up, let's see if both of you will get your degree. the guard declared before leaving the room.

Alex, still looking bewildered, turned his attention to you, his eyes searching for answers.

"You understand Tagalog, right?" you asked, breaking the silence between you.

"Yeah, pero, I'm not used to speaking Tagalog anymore, I forget most words now." he responded, his tone slightly uncertain.

It seemed like the two of you were finally finding common ground and making an effort to bridge the gap that had formed between you.

"Wow! Ang galing mo naman! You just moved countries then suddenly you can't talk Tagalog and talk to me through chats!" Wow! You're so cool! You just moved countries and then suddenly you can't talk tagalog and talk to me through chats! You playfully teased him again, trying to challenge him one more time.

Oh well! I said that too soon.

"Oh come on! Y/N, haven't we gotten over this?!" He massaged his temples, as if trying to ward off an impending headache.

"Y/N. This is why we never really worked out. We constantly fought and couldn't stand each other, and then we broke up! Why are you still challenging me into a fight?" His words carried a note of exasperation and perhaps a hint of frustration.

A heavy silence fell between you, and you found yourself avoiding eye contact with him, feeling a bead of sweat forming on your forehead.

"Y/N? Don't tell me you haven't moved on from me... Y/N, it's been years. I moved on, and you should too. It's not healthy to love someone who already loves someone else." His voice softened as he offered his candid advice.

You felt speechless as you started realizing how immature and stubborn you had been. "I- i- ..."

"It's okay," he reassured you, his expression sympathetic.

"I was very happy having you in my life, but as I grew up with you, I felt suffocated. I couldn't breathe around you, I couldn't speak to you properly without us fighting over small things." He confessed, his words carrying the weight of years of pent-up emotions.

Alex felt a sense of relief, finally unburdening himself by sharing the words he had longed to say.

Perhaps the words 'we never worked out' hit you harder than anything you had said earlier. In that moment, a profound realization washed over you. You had been in denial, unwilling to admit the lingering feelings you held for Alex and the unique dynamic you shared. Your interactions, filled with playful banter and heated arguments, were something you had unconsciously missed. You had inadvertently found yourself in another clash with him, but this time, you were asking for the fight. It became clear that beneath the surface, you longed for the passionate and intense connection you once had, even if you hadn't been fully aware of it until now. This moment marked a crucial turning point in your journey of self-discovery and the challenging path of letting go.

But, as Alex wisely pointed out, it was time to move on and grow up.

"I still love you, even if you no longer do. I know I have to move on, even if it's been difficult for me. I was starting to forget you when suddenly, you were mentioned, and the memories I had kept of you and me in a bottle, buried deep, resurfaced just like a hidden treasure."

"Did you know that my mom used to tell stories about us when we were younger, and how she wished we'd grow old together in the future, maybe in another universe..."

As you both nodded in agreement and locked eyes, the weight of past grievances began to lift, and you felt the catharsis of finally letting go.

"Thank you." "For everything."
