the chicken store bet

[Leigh]

so yeah i was having the time of my life living like Rapunzel on the third floor,with no one to question my eccentricities.i thought about worrying about emotional attachments later,but even the four walls of my room tells me i should stop being an introvert.am i turning into a misanthrope? dunno.an antisocial? ewan.so yeah i was being busy during that that time convincing Fate na bigyan ako ng palugit.what i didnt know--that later came sooner,and that a year later from that day--il end up worrying about attachments..

it was barely December.Mama announced headline news that the family's finances is in critical so i ended up making adjustments by transferring to my brother's boarding house.so as sort of gearing up for battle--i end up visiting my brother and his place..Bahala na si batman...

thats where i first met Lorin.First impression? nangangagat talaga as eyn..ang taas ng kilay pare..Laking gulat ko when i knew that she was going to be my room mate..i thought about sharpening my diplomacy skills later...

the first day at my new house wasnt so bad. Lorin was quiet--unlike me--so i didnt get to use the UN and Switzerland skills i kept--just in case..i thought maybe,some ice breaker would come and would save me from just talking to the geckos come dinnertime...

the ice breaker never came,even after a few weeks.i think it took a boring Sunday night and a sudden brown out to leave us with no choice but talk to each other. i discovered several things about her--one thing was,she talks faster than me :)

and then i ended up talking to her about thoughts i have over someone we both knew,its pathetic really--but sadly the geckos couldnt comprehend such messed up human thinking..

"may question ako.."i asked out of the blue

"what?"

"have someone ever looked at you with that weird look on their faces and then you look back at them and ask if uve got something on your face and then end up saying nothing,shake their heads as if they dont want to look at you really or that they wanted to believe they never looked at you?"

i know Lorin must be confused."like what look?"

"like the i-didnt-notice-you-but i notice you now look.."

Lorin laughed.i must be talking gibberish.."is this a guy were talking about?"

i nodded."then he must be interested in you.." she said.

No way,i blurted out. "why not?" she asked.i couldnt tell her why..i told her its next to impossible.and ended up saying we should forget i asked.

"why do u worry about it?"..shes not going to let me off easily..

"coz i dont like him looking at me,"i admitted."its like,i feel like my insides are turning round in a washing machine.."

"then you must have something for him,then"

thats way more No way..way way way...

and so i ended up arguing with her im not having a crush on the guy--while she has this absurd idea the guy likes me--i end up arguing more strongly at that--but i couldnt tell her why...we ended up solving the subject by making a bet..if the guy likes me,i end up treating her to Kentucky's..if im right that Josh Hartnett is more possible to like me,then il be the Kentucky girl...i was too confident having that wager with her,coz i knew back then--i am going to win...
