When Love and Hate Collide [Completed]

Chapter 6: Trouble

ARANYA

Tahimik lang akong nakaupo sa loob ng classroom habang panay ang libot ng tingin sa mga kaklase kong panay ang warm up.

Its just 4 am in the morning and yet, half of the class is already here. Napaghahalatang excited ang mga ito sa gaganaping Zombie Run ngayong araw. They are all busy stretching, chatting and doing other ways to limber up while I am just watching them and trying to rest before tiring myself later.

"Hoy Ara! Ba't hindi ka nagwawarm-up? Gusto mo bang magka-cramps?"

I immediately turn to Tory who's busy doing some sort of yoga poses while looking at me with her converging eyebrows and doubting face.
She looks more excited than everyone in this room.

"Nah. Magpapahuli na lang ako. Bagsal kung bagsak." I boringly said before reaching my rose hair band in my pocket and then tying my hair in a clean ponytail.

"Magpapahuli rin naman ako ah?" She complained to me but then her emotion changed fast into pure bliss before speaking with her famous dreamy and flirty tone, "Pero kay Seven nga lang. Hihi."

She really won't stop thinking about surrendering her ribbon to Seth. Wala siyang ibang bukang bibig kundi si Seth and I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with it. Feeling ko, may pagtingin na talaga ito sa lalaki.

"Speaking of that hunk devil, ayan na siya!" She almost scream out before hysterically cupping both of her cheeks while looking infront of the board.

Napalingon na rin ako at nakitang kakapasok niya pa lang sa room suot ang itim (wala namang iba) na PE uniform ng Harman University.

His backpack is only hanging in his right shoulder while walking firm and manly. Naging agaw pansin ang bakat niyang maskuladong katawan sa itim na pantaas nitong hapit na hapit. Everything in him just makes everyone's head turn and fully attract every woman. Its like everyday he does his grand entrance.

I first thought he was going straight to his chair but my heart thumped wildly when he walk near me and called.

"Hey." His brown tantilizing eyes met mine that made my lung malfunction. "I love your hair."

Para akong lumipad sa kung saang kalawakan sa hindi maipaliwanag na rason. He complimented and it was like he dropped a bomb on the floor. Wala akong masabi at hindi ako makagalaw. I am completely dumbfounded and I can't process all the information in my head right.

"T-Thanks." Hindi ko alam kung saang lupalop ko napulot ang salitang iyon pero malaki ang pasasalamat ko dahil kahit papaano ay nakatugon ako sa kanya.

"Welcome. Anyway, I'm sorry about yesterday. I caused you trouble." I can't identify in his monotonous voice if he sounds sorry but I can tell in his face that he was. He even lowered his head a bit then he started scratching his nape before looking at me again.

Nang maalala ang nangyari kahapon ay doon lamang bumalik ang aking ulirat at nahimasmasan. Bigla kong naalala ang napag-usapan namin ni tita Precious kaya't pinilit kong iwaksi ang kahibangan bago tumikhim.

"Its okay. It wasn't your fault. Nag-overreact lang si tita kahapon." I casually explained and just give him a simple half-smile to show him that it was not a big deal.

Pero sa totoo lang, matindi pa rin ang kaba ko dahil sa pambabanta ni tita kahapon.

I don't know him completely. Hindi ko alam kung anong totoong pagkatao ang nakatago sa maamo niyang mukha. Maybe he really is what tita thinks or maybe not but, I still need to be cautious. Mahirap kung magtitiwala ako nang lubusan sa taong hindi naman ako sigurado kung totoo sa akin.
