Climente Series #1: Dancing Silhouette

Chapter 2

Napatingin ako sa lalaking nakatayo sa harapan namin. He just asked me?! How to calm down?! Charot! Ang harot, Luna!

“Sure!” I  answered him.

He just nodded. My jaw dropped when he suddenly sit beside me. He smells good!

Che! Kumalma ka, Luna! Hindi dapat pinapairal ang kalandian! Konting hiya naman.

Kinuha ko ang pagkaing ibinigay ni Aquilla. May pa Mang Inasal si Mayor niyo! Nako, manok ko na yata 'to!

Lorena seems so happy. Like, I've never seen her being so happy like this when she's still with her annoying and arrogant ex! Her reaction earlier was priceless! I am so happy for her.

But, I feel jealous. She can be with someone she likes while I can't. Still, I prefer to be single. We're still young for that thing called love.

We should enjoy our childhood. Aquilla seems fine though I don't trust him enough because he's a playboy unlike his brother. Apollo's the best among all.

I mean he got all the good looks he should have! He's gifted when it comes to stock knowledge. He's so smart! But, he's rude.

I was shocked earlier when he asked me if he could sit with us. He's nice! Or it's just me who thinks that he's rude? Argh! I hate my mind.

“Do you have classes after lunch?” Apollo whispered.

Lumingon ako kung sino ang kinakausap niya. Noong napagtanto kong ako, bigla akong tumango bilang sagot.

“Why you're so quite? I'm not used to it.” He whispered again.

I'm not used to it? Wow? So, alam niyang maingay ako? Nga naman. Abot ba naman sa kabilang building ang boses ko! Nako, nakakahiya!

Lumingon ako sa kanya upang gawaran siya ng ngiti. “Wala lang, wala yata ako sa mood.”

He smiled at me and nodded. We continued eating until we finished our food. Elijah excused herself when someone asked to have a word with her.

Gabrielle bid her goodbye because she still have a class. While Lorena and I are stuck with this two handsome men.

“Hoy, Lorena! Sabay tayo sa room ha? Hintayin mo 'ko. Washroom lang.” Ngumiti siya ng parang nang aasar.

“Oo, sige. Kahit tagalan mo pa.”

Then I left. I was about to go inside the women's comfort room when someone suddenly grabbed my arm.

“I'll wait you here.”

Apollo told me to get inside and do my thing. Geez. Nakakahiya! Per ba't niya ba ako hinihintay e, tapos narin naman kaming kumain?

Huwag mong sabihin na feeling close 'to?

I laughed. Tinapos ko agad ang pag ihi, baka naiinip na siya roon. Nakakahiya naman.

Pagkalabas ko ng comfort room nakita ko siya sa kanyang uniform na nakasandal sa dingding. He looks comfortable tho.

Lumapit ako sa kanya. “Uh, may I ask why you're still with me? Uhm, I mean, you're already done with you lunch right?” I asked.

He sighed and look at me. He bite his lower lip at comb his hair using his fingers. And looked at me directly into my eyes.

“Why? You don't want to be with me?” he asked.
