Unforgotten [Baguio Series #5]

25

25:

While waiting for Tyrone since the dismissal was earlier, I went to the library to get started with my plates—nang mabawasan naman. Ang dami-dami. Lintik.

"Hi."

Tumingin ako sa nagsalita at humila ng upuan sa harap ko. It was a guy from Entrepreneurship department. Kaklase ni George 'to, I'm sure of it.

"Why?" I asked, raising my left eyebrows.

"Magtatanong lang sana kung may kasama ka ba rito . . ." he looked away.

"Wala."

Ibinalik ko na ang tingin ko sa screen ng laptop at itinuloy ang paggawa ng plates.

"P'wede bang makipag-kaibigan?"

"No."

Napatingin ako sa nagsalita sa harap ko. Nakita ko si Tyrone na nando'n, nakasuot na lang ng white shirt at faded blue jeans.

"She doesn't want to be friends with you," Tyrone added.

Naiilang na tumayo ang lalaking kaklase ni George at umalis na. Tumingin ako kay Tyrone na ngayon ay umuupo na sa harap ko.

"Why are you here at paano ka nakapasok ng NEUST?" I asked. "Sana nag-text ka na lang para lumabas na ako."

He shrugged. "They let me in."

Umirap ako. "Seriously?" I asked.

He chuckled. "Biro lang. I know someone here and asked him to help me get in here. The same person I asked to be in your acquaintance party."

I sighed before facing my laptop screen again. "You've got connections, ha?"

"Yes. For you."

I rolled my eyes at the screen of my monitor but deep inside, I always wanted to tumble whenever he says for you.

Tangina naman kasi, ang landi landi ng isang 'to. Every day yata, nagle-level up ang pagiging malandi niya!

"Let's go."

"Wait lang, let me finish this first," I said without looking at him.

I didn't know how he reacted since making a plate using laptop is really hard. Tama ngang hindi mo na kailangang mag-drawing sa malaking papel at mahirapan na ipwesto ang T-square na mas malaki pa kay Aika, ang hapdi naman sa mata. Lagi pang nagka-crash ang Sketch Up ko.

Napatingin ako kay Tyrone nang marinig ko ang pagtunog ng shutter ng camera. He chuckled when he saw me peaking from the side of my laptop. I sighed as I watched him type on his phone.

"You should stop hanging out with George."

Tumawa siya bago tumingin sa akin. "Bakit naman?"

"Nahahawa ka sa pagfi-flex niya. That man can flex Anna because she's his girlfriend. Stop flexing me nga. Puro stolen shot pa!" reklamo ko.

Tinawanan niya lang ako bago ipinakita sa akin ang screen ng cellphone niya.

"You'd be my girlfriend soon so there's no problem." He smirked.

I rolled my eyes at him to conceal the effect he did to me.

So, he posted my stolen photo on Instagram. I looked fine but I'm really concerned about how his followers will think about me. What if they'll bash me???

Argh!

"Tyrone, alam kong maganda ako but can you stop? Baka maganda lang din ako sa paningin mo pero sa followers mo pala, pangit."
