Lunch

Napatalon ako sa gulat ng sa aking pagliko sa locker room bumungad sa aking paningin si Enzo. My attention was immediately drawn to his hair, a rebellious lock dangling teasingly to one side of his nose. The glint of his left earring, catching the sunlight just right, added a touch of defiant sparkle. His undercut hairstyle, sharp and meticulously styled, combined with the subtle but striking earrings, perfectly encapsulated his bad boy attitude.

Bumaba ang aking tingin sa hawak niyang bulaklak.

My eyebrow arched.

Purple roses! They symbolize that the giver has fallen in love at first sight with the recipient.

What does this mean? why is he giving me purple roses?

"Morning..." he said. "A flower a day keeps the suitors away."

Kumunot ang aking noo. "What?

He laughed softly, his hand flying to his nape as he awkwardly looked away from me.

"Don't mind me," he whispered at hilaw na ngumiti.

I look at him weirdly. Nilahad niya ang bulaklak sa akin. I'm not rude to reject it, so kinuha ko ito.

"Thank you. "

He turned to face me, his cheeks and ears red. Then he flashed a charming smile. I moistened my lips and looked away, feeling something strange in my stomach. I compose myself at nilampasan ko siya para magtungo sa aking locker. Sa aking pagdaan sa kanyang gilid nalamghap kanyang bango. His scent was pleasant, not at all overwhelming and strong.

He cleared his throat.

"Can I ask you out for lunch, later? "

"No. " matigas kong aniy.

Binuksan ko ang aking locker. I gave him a side glance. Kumunot ang aking noo ng makita itong lumabi at malungkot ang mata.

Nag iwas ako ng tingin at kinuha ang mga pang umagang libro. I struggled to carry the books, the flower in my left hand making it even more difficult.

"Akin na..." Saad niya at kinuha mula sa akin ang mga libro.

Hinayaan ko siya.

Sinirado ko ang aking locker at nauunang lumakad. He tried to keep pace with me, his long strides covering the ground quickly. I could sense the eyes of students tracking us as we walked through the hallway. Who could resist looking? After all, I was walking alongside the most popular guy in school.

"Why can't I take you out for lunch?" he asked after a long, deafening silence.

"I have schoolwork to finish," I replied.

"Sasamahan kita... "

"Matatagalan ako."

 Nilingon ko siya at nakita itong na sa akin ang tingin.

"Maghihintay ako... " Pinal na saad niyang aniya.

Nagtagisan kami ng titig.

"Mag b-behave ako." Sabi niya.

Huminga ako ng malalim da kakulitan niya. Wala akong nagawa kondi ang pumayag.

"Ikaw bahala... " Mahinang saad ko.

A broad smile spread across his face, and I heard him whisper, "Yes!"

I raised an eyebrow when I saw a junior girl filming us. She quickly hid her phone and pretended she hadn't done anything. Ngumiwi lang ako at binalik ko ulit ang tingin kay Enzo. His happy mood was evident, with his eyes sparkling and his wide smile stretching from ear to ear.
