"You"
Leni POV
I understand why Snow was acting like that. She thought there's something going on between me and Zeus but there's none. Zeus is my friend. Tulad ni Mon.
Zeus always talks about her when he's with me so I knew he's not into me. I can assure that because we've been together for about years and he's just really nice just like Mon.
If there's someone I could like it's probably neither of the two. I had someone already.
"I hate it," mahinang sabi ni Mon habang nasa library kami.
"Are you okay Mon?" tanong ko sa kanya.
He nodded before writing on another paper. Pang-ilang papel na niya 'yan. Puno na ng crampled paper ang table namin kakadispose niya.
"By the way Mon, are you close to Snow?" buti nalang naalala kong itanong sa kanya.
"We're not," malamig na sagot niya.
Nasaan kaya ang warmth ng lalaking 'to? Nawawala ata ngayon.
"What did you tell her earlier?"
Nilapitan kasi niya kanina si Snow at binulungan. I'm just worried baka mas lalong magalit si Snow sa'kin.
"I told her that I like you," natawa ako sa sinabi niya.
"You like me?" I giggled.
"Hindi ka na pwede gustuhin?" seryosong tanong niya nang concentrate pa rin sa pagsusulat.
"Ofcourse you can. If it can help you," doon ko lang nakuha ang attention niya.
"Is this about Prima again?" parang asar niyang tanong.
"Sorry. I'm just wondering," paghingi ko ng paumanhin.
"I'll court you next week," seryoso pa niyang dagdag.
Mahina akong napatawa sa sinabi niya but I know he's really serious about that.
"Dapat 'di mo sinasabi ang mga ganyang bagay. Surprise mo naman ako one time babe," saad ko.
He just smiled after.
Snow POV
Ilang araw after ng incident namin hindi ko na napapansin sa school si Reven. Para siyang biglang kinain ng blackhole kaya 'di ko na masagap. Malaki ang school namin pero imposible naman kasing hindi talaga kami magkakasalubong ng lalaking 'yon.
"Ang lalim ng iniisip mo a? Si Greek God ba 'yan?" pangungulit ni Jea.
Buti nga sana kung si Zeus ang iniisip ko.
"Ang dami nating projects talagang iisipin ko pa ang lalaking 'yon?" baling ko naman sa kanya.
"Speaking of lalaking 'yon. Siya ata 'yang papalapit sa atin," patingin naman ako sa tinuro ni Jea.
It's really Zeus!
He was in his gobok. Magkasalubong ang kilay nito at agresibong umupo sa tabi ko.
"Feeling ko uulan mamaya. Galit si haring Griyego e," makahulugang turan ni Jea.
"You okay?" mahinang tanong ko.
"Natalo ako sa training kanina. I should have won," dismayadong sabi niya.
"But you're the winner for me kahit pa matalo ka. I know you've done your very best to win," napatingin siya sa akin ng matagal. "W-what?"
He was still staring at me and I really became conscious.
"Reminder lang. Nandito pa ko. Baka kasi limot niyong dalawa," mapang-asar na sulpot ni Jea.
