Wasn't Meant To Be

Chapter 5

Errors Ahead

Skipped

Days have passed after that day but that thought never left my mind. Am I really that fond of him that I kept on talking about him? Actually, Cassius and I became closer, I even told him that I have a crush on Andrei one of our classmates who is a cutie and my English seatmate. Cassius has been doing favors for me, asking personal things about him. In return I helped Cassius more in his studies and we would chat more often and sometimes video calls. He would often make me laugh too.

It's now math time, nag hihintay na kami para sa student teacher namin dahil may recitation. I looked at Cassius reading his notes well beside me, actually his notebook is on my desk hangaleng lang. Nag umpisa na ang recitation at agawan kaming lahat sa pag sasagot. Napupuno ng "ako ma'am!" ang room namin and my ears are starting to hurt, samantalmg kami ni Pennie nag hihintay lang matawag.

When Andrei was called my eyes followed him and I just stared at him while solving the given problem. Damn, he really looks good and his bit curled hair, a good height at ang ganda ng postura niya, what a dream guy.

"Titig na titig?" Rinig kong pang aasar ni Pennie sa gilid ko.

"Ewan ko sayo, di ka pa nakakapag recite."

Bumaling naman ako kay Cassius na abala sap ag sosolve ng problem sa may harapan din.

"Cassius mali ang symbol na nalagay mo." I whispered para di mahalata ng tecaher namin. Lumingon ito sa akin ng may pag tataka.

"Mali ang symbol." I mouthed it this time habang nakakunot ang aking noo. Tumango tango naman siya na para bang naintindihan niya na at tyaka pinalitan ang symbol into negative. Lumingon ulit siya sa akin at nagtanong kung okay na ba daw, I just gave him a thumbs up.

Nang nag check na ang mga sagot bumulong si Cassius sa akin na kinakabahan daw siya, he's really cute for someone na sakit sa ulo ng mga teacher. He was so happy nang malamang tama ang kanyang sagot, sinilip niya si Yasmen na nasa kabilang row lang namin at ngumiti siya.

Matapos ang klase ay nag punta kami ni Cassius sa milktea shop malapit lang sa skwelahan at tumambay na muna doon.

The past few days I have been commuting because it seems fun for me and pumayag naman sila mama medyo nag aalala lang sila kaya kadalasan kahit papasakay nako ng jeep tatawag sila ay nasisingitan ako at kung hindi ko pa kasbay si Cassius maiiwanan talaga ako. He's always at my back para pag sisingitan ako ay dinidiin niya na ako paloob ng jeep.

Cassius and I brought three taro milkteas with nata and nachos. Umalis kami sa shop at nagtungo pabalik ng school dahil ngayong araw ay manonood kami sandali ng training ni Pennie.

Habang kumakain ay tutok ang aming mga mata sa mga nag tetraining lalo na sa kaibigan kong nakatali ang buhok at pawisan. Bawat hampas niya ay may sapat na lakas para bumilis ang shuttlecock. Sa sobrang focused namin ni Cassius sa pinanonood namin hindi namin namalayan that our fingers would have contact. Everything was fast especially the electricity I felt when our skin touched. Our eyes met and in split second we avoided each other's gaze and continued to eat, pinag paliban ko nalang ang naramdaman ko at nag focus ulit sa bestfriend kong nag lalaro.

Nag break sandali sila Pennie kaya mindali niyang ininom ang kanyang milktea at bumalik sa kanyang pag eensayo. Natigil ang aking concentration sa panonood nang nag ring aking telepono.

"Isla labas ka na ng school hija, kakain tayo sa labas ngayon." Bungad ni mama ng sinagot ko ang tawag.

"Ahhh sige po mama." Pagkababa ko sa aking telepono bumaling ako kay Cassius at nagpaalam.

"Cass una nako kakain daw kami nila mama sa labas eh, ingat ka sa pag uwi ah."

"Okay, take care." His lips formed a smile showing his beautiful teeth.

Sumenyas naman ako sa bestfriend ko na aalis nako at binigyan lang ako ng pagtango nito. I took a glimpse of Cassius for the last time and flashed a smile while waving. *thump* I felt my heart skipped a bit and that was my sign to run fast out of the school. I was smiling the whole time I was running towards the car.
