"Ang aga mo ah." Noah pointed out as he starts the cars engine.
"Ikaw din naman. I know you normally don't go to school this early considering the times we ran into each other going to school." I said remembering the time he stopped me in the stairwell and yesterday when he caught up with me on my bike.
"Maaga lang akong nagising." He explained while taking his truck out of park and letting it move away from our house. "You? Bakit ang aga mo? Or were you not planning on leaving yet?"
"No. Magaabang sana ako ng sasakyan papuntang school." He glaced at me.
"Magaabang? Wala bang maghahatid sa'yo?" He asked like I said something he never expected me to say.
"Wala." I shortly replied. I don't want to explain the real reason.
"You can't drive?" He put his eyes back on the road.
"I can. But my kuya doesn't want me to drive." He nodded, still without looking at me.
"I always thought you were an only child."
"Why did you assume that?" No one in my class really knows my brother because he is 4 years older than me and he never really has time to be a brother to me when we're in school.
"Because you get everything you want." His words never fail to shock me.
"No I don't. I'm not spoiled." I cleared. I never thought of myself as a spoiled girl. No one has ever called me that.
"I didn't say you were. What I meant was, you seem like the person that get all the attention and affection from your parents. I see the way your mom hugs you whenever she used to drop you off at school. Dati nga lagi ka niyang ginagawan ng lunch na binabaon mo sa school."
"And you noticed all of that? I never thought you paid attention to those things." I tightened my grip on my bag knowing that there is no pre-made lunch in it anymore.
"I just see it." He says as if it was not that big of a deal, which it isn't but it was a shock to me that he actually knew I existed before he interrupted my conversation. I know he is my classmate but he's not the kind of guy you think would remember little details.
"Well not anymore." I said and looked down. As if it was such a shame that my brother and mother are in an argument.
I think he got the hint that the topic is currently sensitive to me so he stopped talking to maybe give me a little silence to adjust to the situation. But the silence in the car is just killing me.
"Salamat pala. Sa pagsundo sa'kin. I didn't think you were going to." I broke the silence.
"Hinatid kita kahapon so it's just right that I pick you up today." He said that like it's the most obvious thing.
"Thanks." I said quietly but enough for him to hear.
"Why do you keep on saying that?" I gave him a slightly confused look. "Why do you keep on saying thank you? All I did was drop you off yesterday and you said thank you like 4 times."
"Am I not supposed to?" I raised an eyebrow. "It's called being polite, Noah. 'Di mo alam? Simple manners lang 'yon." He let out a short laugh.
"Once is enough." He smiled at me again. Damn that smile is contagious.
"Saan tayo pupunta mamaya?" I asked excitedly. Going with him is way more entertaining than going home into a quiet house and staring at the ceiling for 10 hours. So I decided I will agree to go somewhere with him.
"On our date?" I felt like I stopped breathing for a second. I forgot we are calling it a date. "Wherever you want to go. Saan mo ba gusto?"
"I don't know. Where do you usually go on... dates?" Nagalangan pa ako na tawagin iyong date. I've never really been on a romantic date. Is it going to be a romantic date? Why did I just assume it was?
