CHAPTER 26

"You ready?" Trouble asked me while packing. The school organized a fieldtrip for the seniors. Buti nalang at ang school mismong ang nag organize nito at hindi ako ang student council. Nakaiwas rin ako sa stress.

The whole trip is about meditation and stuffs and the location is on the mountain top. We will be staying there for 2 days. "Yeah, the school bus is here"

We both went out para salubongin ang ang bus. Ng maka pwesto kami ay sumandal ako sakanya. "You okay?" I nodded.

"I was just tired because I didn't get enough sleep" Napa-tango lang sya at hinimas-himas ang buhok ko. "Trouble wag na tayong pumunta"

"Ha? Bakit naman" Mas inilapit ko ang mukha ko sakanya "Gusto kitang ma-solo mamaya"

"G-Gago! Baka may makarinig sayo" Namumulang sabi nya. Noong mga nakaraang araw ay feeling ko nagka-palit kami ng personality.

I used to ignore him back then because I was worried about what people may think but now the tables have turned. Now, he's the one worrying about other people.

"Hey, the bus is getting fuller, I have a neck pillow here. Baka ano pa ang sabihin ng iba" Napasimangot agad ako at hinablot sakanya ang neck pillow at humiga sa kabilang direksyon.

The road was super bumpy! I can't even sleep well. I hate this! Si Trouble kasi!

Napamulat ako ng may humila sakin at isinandal iyon sa mga braso nya. "Tss" I heard him say kaya napangiti ako at pinulupot ang braso ko sakanya.

Then the ride became comfortable again.

...

"Attkinson!" Salubong ni Keisler sakin. Hindj ko sya pinansin at nilagpasan sya para pumunta kay Angie "Yan na yung notes ko"

"Langya Attkinson!"

"Andito ka pala?" Natatawang sabi ko ng mahagip ng paningin ko si Philipp. Kasama nya na uli ang mga barkada nya but this time, he smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Seniors! Please prepare to line up!"

Sinunod naman namin agad ang guide namin. "Come here and stay close to me, baka maligaw kananaman" He was grabbing my elbow up until we reached the peak of the first mountain.

It was a three-hour hike kaya nag-pahinga muna kami sa unang peak. "Water?" He handed me the one from his bag.

"Thanks" Binalik ko iyon sakanya matapos kong uminom "Are you okay? You look so tired, I asked" Pinunasan ko rin ang pawis nya.

"No, I'm fine. I'm not really into outdoor activities and I haven't exercised for a while, I guess that's why" Nilagyan ko ng towel ang likod nya.

"Trouble ang basa ng likod mo! Bakit hindi mo sinabi, nalagyan sana kita ng bimpo" Sermon ko sakanya.

"Ang sweet Attkinson ah"

"Humanap ka ng jowa para may mag punas ng likod mo" Mahina kong sabi habang inaasikaso parin si Trouble.

"Tsk! I hate couples"
