Omigosh, it’s really confirmed that he’s rude. Although the brain cells that he has are sharp and witty around the corners, it didn’t made him less attractive on superficial terms. In fact, it made him more infamously hot. I rolled my eyes again that it felt like I almost saw my brain beneath all the nerves and complex structural bones.

I counted three before breathing in. “You’re so rude that you might even consider the idea of getting a dick to shove inside your ass.” I emphasized every syllable with so much ignited passion of hatred and annoyance. He opened that pouty mouth of his to say something but I cut him midway with a slash of my hands. “Maybe it will make your personality less miserable and pathetic. Oopsie.” The words were more voiced out with intention this time and I flipped him a finger before he could say something as a retort.

Omigod, so much for my resolution to develop friendship along the way. I am breaking that pact I made for myself. I turned my back on him before he could say something that will trigger my emotions. I am nice pero iyong bibig ko hindi. They don’t go well as a couple. They are more like a divorced husband and wife constantly arguing. Lumabas na ako roon not before long I heard the laughter he just exhaled. Wow, it has a rhythmic pattern.

Pumunta ako sa kitchen para uminom ng tubig. I calmed my emotions into their peaceful state. I should say sorry. He was rude but he doesn’t deserve those insulting words.

I returned with a fake smile on my lips. Seeing him boils down everything I just said a while ago. “I am sorry but your attitude is really rude.” I softened down my speech but it still came off as strong. I tried to look nice but my resting bitch face was doing a hard job in contortion. Nakatingin lang ito sa akin habang nakangiti ng nakakaloko.

Silence ensued and I wasn’t able to bear it.

“Whatever, I am sorry.” Wala namang imik kaya hinayaan ko nalang. I lay down on my bed, stretching my back. I suddenly got conscious with my position so I tried to look elegant. I promised I am doing a failed job at it.

“Don’t say sorry. It’s nice to stimulate my brain from a witty ass like you.” He shrugged his shoulders while opening his phone with his right hand.

“So you’re basically saying that your brain haven’t been active for so long?” I asked but I quickly regretted it. The insinuation in my voice was pretty sarcastic so I thought of things and topics that might cover up the awkward question I just plowed.

He giggled. It is like hearing a xylophone. “Yeah, that’s pretty much I get from having a pack of brainless older brothers.” I sat up, crossed my legs and made my back straighter than the usual writer’s hunch I have. He turned off his phone and positioned himself leaning on the headboard of his bed. He joined the staring contest I didn’t obviously start. I just wanted to observe him but he clearly must have taken it as intimidation play.

“I get you. I also have family relatives who are shallow. But other than that, I am an only child.” I made my pronunciation better and refined. This is a practice na rin para sa Communication degree na kinuha ko.

“Puwede Tagalog nalang?” he furrowed his brows. The creases that formed on his forehead was like folds on a convergent fault. He laughed. “Nakakapagod magsalita ng English. Andaming mga grammar rules.” That is his reason? Ang babaw. So stupid. To play with him more, I decided to go on with my English policy rule.

“You can speak Tagalog, while I will speak the language I am comfortable to.” He muttered something under his breath.

“Bahala ka na nga diyan. Matulog muna ako.” Truthful to what he said, natulog nga siya. He turned his back on me and began to take a deep slumber. Hindi ko na siya inabala at nagbasa nalang ng libro.
