Bewildered 🌸 (kja)

I shouldn't but...

Harry escorted her inside the building at nakikita ni Liza na nagsisimula na itong pagkaguluhan ng mga kababaihan at kabaklaan.

"Oh, so pogi!"

"Who is he?"

"Aw, papable!"

"Ang gwapo!"

Liza showed her displeasure by rolling her eyes. She detested the fact that Harry was causing a disturbance in this place. He is the object of the shrieks and swoons of young women and gays. Maging mga kabinataan ay hindi mapigilan na mapalingon dito. She can't hold it against them. Harry is a man who exudes a lot of charm.

"Hello, pogi!" tili ng isang babae at naiiling na naitirik ni Harry ang mga mata.

"Harry, let me go. I am capable of walking by myself." Inis na tinapunan ng tingin ni Liza ang kamay ng binata na mahigpit na nakahawak sa braso niya as if tatakbuhan niya ito. "Harry, I said—"

"Damn." inis na naibulalas ni Harry when a group of male students looked at Liza and whistled. Mas humigpit pa ang pagkakahawak niya sa braso nito. Wala yatang kabinataan sa corridor ang hindi lumilingon dito. There are some na nakatingin sa mga binti nito. Some even look at her bum, and Harry wants to murder them. Minsan talaga ay nakakainis na ang kagandahan ng babeng ito. Yung tipong hindi mo kayang iwan kahit saglit baka malingat ka lang eh nakuha na ng iba.

"The hemline of your skirt is a little too high. Your top is pulling too much at the shoulders, it's too tight." inis na puna ni Harry sa kasuotan ni Liza habang naglalakad sila ng corridor. "I think large sizes look better on you. Papalitan mo ang size ng uniform mo. Not like that—" Aburidong hinagod nita ng tingin ang suot nitong uniform. "It's too revealing."

Too revealing?! Pinagsasabi nito? Sakto lang naman ang laki ng uniform ko?!

Liza glared at him. "Harry, you are not my father para sermonan ako, at sakto lang ang sukat ng uniform ko," Sadyang maganda lang ang hubog ng kanyang katawan.

"I swear I will break every bone of any guy who comes near you," Harry said, ignoring what she just said. When they reached her classroom, ay binitawan na niya ang siku ni Liza at inabot dito ang backpack. "Enjoy your first day, sweetheart."

Sweetheart... She has to admit that endearment fascinates her.

"I'll come to get you later, okay?" he said and without any prior warning, kissed her cheek. Muntik nang mapatili si Liza sa gulat.

"Oh, you!" inis niyang irap and Harry could only laugh. He even gave her a wink before waving goodbye and walking away.

Ayaw man aminin ni Liza ngunit kinilig ang puso niya sa ginagawa ni Harry. Napailing na tinungo niya ang loob ng classroom only to see Ellen with her alipores.

"Look who's here." sarkastikong wika ni Ellen. "The bratty heiress of Mortoni."

"The troublemaker." wika ng isang kaibigan ni Ellen and they laughed.

Liza just sneered at them. "Whatever!" she murmured and ignored them all day.

********

Aw, okay.

Some are murmuring na ang iba ay narinig niya. She felt like all the guys in her class were staring at her. And she's flattered. Sanay na si Liza sa atensyon ngunit naiilang pa rin siya. Hanggang sa matapos ang klase ay may ilan sa mga ito ang nakabuntot sa kanya.

"Oh, Liza, my driver is coming. We can bring you home." Presenta ng isa na nagpakilalang si Donny Pangilinan. He seemed nice and desente. Halatang galing din sa mayamang pamilya.
