Drama Ala Section Q

She is the angelic class muse. Bubbly and friendly to everyone and would make every one's morning literally good just by the childish smiles she throws every first period. Pretty, smart, a cheer leader and the best friend of her friends, she is what the boys would fondly call the super girlfriend material. Many had tried to woe her heart but ended up with a failed attempt because unknown to many, she is still having an indefinite leave to mend her first loss.

He is the class clown. Just looking at him would send you to a euphoria of stomach-aching laughter. Comically witty and has what it takes to be a leader. The Mr. President and the guy in class everybody can depend on (and count on it that he would never let you down). A perfect gentleman who is loved by everybody but is tormented that she might not ever look at him the way he sees her, perfect.

This is my class' version of "highschool drama" and my job is to keep Cupid's latest victim still heads up despite an unrequited love.

Borge and I had a good conversation at the bleachers Wednesday afternoon while he waited for me to end my PE class. He's been not himself lately and the whole class knows that its about his feelings for Nille. He confessed thats its getting deeper everyday and he knows for a fact that he looks stupid having it.

"Samuka ani uy, mura nakog buang ba". No one could have said it any better.

Its much easier to give your two cents worth when things are mutual, but when its obviously one sided at times you found yourself lost for words. Borge needed someone to talk to. Someone whos not lucid enough to push him to jump when theres no water. And i dont know why but that someone happens to be me (well thats what he thinks). I really dont mind since Borge is a good friend of mine and Nille too, its just that at times hearing him out breaks my heart in different proportions.

Having to hear somebody love from a far is indeed painful.

If only they have met in different circumstances it might be worth going after. He wont look foolish holding back and who knows she might give him the benefit of a doubt. But friendship has been established and crossing the line might not be worth the risk of having nothing to get back to. Ouch!

Ive never been as close too Borge's situation which makes it harder to throw in some words of wisdom. But i did try though, i know he wanted me to say something even if it might hurt. It was a tough spot to be in too. I was torn in between not having to aggravate his predicament and at the same time tell him theres nothing wrong with putting someone on a high pedestal as long as it its healthy. And by healthy i mean, still having a sense of self-preservation.

B: Hay, Nille wag kang tumingin sakin at magnonosebleed ako.

Me: Actually Borge, CSF leakage naka. (cerebral spinal fluid)

B: Unsa ko kadugay maghulat? Should I even wait? Wala nay pag-asa bai. (how long should i wait? Should i even wait? Theres no hope bai.)

Me: Bai, mura na syag fruitcake. You dont eat fruit cake right then and there, dapat padugayaon kay didto sya mu lami. (Bai its like fruitcake, You dont eat fruit cake right then and there, you have to wait long for it to be delicious)

B:How can i find someone better if she's already the best?

Me: Mag-inum nalang ta Borge.

Toink!
