HATSUKOI: Makato Takoya (HIATUS)

CHAPTER 1: Cassanova-Captain

:AT PRESENT – First day of school - MONDAY:

:SENFORD HIGH SCHOOL:

:CANTEEN:

                (TELEVISIONREPORTING) The half Japanese, half Filipino brothers who were the aces of the Tokyo basketball team had already quitted the team for some unknown circumstances. Some says that it’s because of family problem? Others are financial? Some relationship issues? We don’t really know the main reason. Why they have to quit without telling everybody? Why? blah......blah.......blah......blah......blah...........

                “I don’t quite get it.” I said while sipping my iced tea.

“What?” sagot ni Alice, bestfriend ko.

“I mean, why they still bothered other‘s personal issues? BA’t kailangang magbigay pa nang reasons for doing something?” Then I sighed. “hai. Ang hirap pag sikat kah.”

                Then Alice, Maya and Sean laughed at me.  Then I narrowed my eyes towards them. What?

                “Ano ba sa tingin mo ang ginagawa mo? Eih sa curious sila, pakialam mo ba.” Sarkastikong sabi ni Sean. Eih sa nagtatanong lang kaya. At nagtatawanan silang tatlo.Ewan ko sa inyo.

                Naputol yung pagtatawanan nila nang biglang nag iba yung ihip nang hangin, kasi naman, speaking of sikat, nandito na yung idol nang lahat nang kababaihan sa shool namin, ang team captain nang Senford High Shool basketball Team, ang napaka-gwapong nilalang sa balat nang lupa? ‘Whatever’, si Seijuro Marquez.

                At ayan na nga, nagkakagulo na sa canteen.  I rolled my eyes of the disturbance happening. Uhm. Excuse me, hindi po ‘to market-market, canteen ‘toh, we’re supposed to be eating here at peace, not with the ehchos-ehchos fan signing nor whatever nonsense thing you’re doing people. duh.

Well, honestly, I’m not really a fan of him nor naga-gwapohan with him, mga adik lang talaga mga estudyante dito sa Senford, at isa na do’n yung isa kong bestfriend, si Maya, mula elementary hanggang ngayon, baliw na baliw parin siya sa Casanova-captain na yun. Ayaw din naman ni Maya na malaman ni Seijuro yung feelings niya for him, unfortunately kasi, he’s one of our friend since bata pa kami, we’re living on the same place lang naman, we live in Alfonso Subdivision, kaming lima; Seijuro, Alice, Sean, Maya and me. Halos magkadikit lang yung mga bahay namin kaya kami-kami lang din yung magkaka-barkada.

“Speaking of the devil, papunta na siya dito.”May tuno nang pagka-sarkastikong sabi ni Alice. At sabay kaming nagtatawanan.

“Hello guys, how are you doing?” Then he sits in between Alice and Maya and giving he’s seductive smile on us. Then I rolled my eyes. I know he needs something.

“We’re doing just fine,UNTIL YOU CAME!” Plastic na nakangiting sabi ni Alice at talagang diniinan niya yung huling sinabi niya which makes us giggle, but not with Maya. Kanina pa kasi siyang nakatitig nang wala sasarili kay Seijuro, she’s day-dreaming, as expected of her when it comes to Seijuro.

“Ouch! That’s hurt.” Sabi ni Seijuro nang walang emotion.“But you know what? I miss you Al, I miss your lips, and I mean it.” Seductive way of speaking ni Seijuro kay Alice. Well, you don’t ask, Seijuro got a one-time shot with Alice no’ng mga panahong depress siya, yup, naging sila for one day lang naman, nagpadala siya sa mga garden-of-roses-and-sweet-chocolate-words of Seijuro and break-up after 24 hours, parang convenience store lang noh?

“Oh! I miss you too Seij!” At hinimas-himas ni Alice yung mukha ni Seijuro. At ang ilong ni Maya, umu-usok na sa flirtatious way of conversation nila Alice at Seijuro. Well, talagang ganyan na sila, simula no’ng nangyari na naging sila. “I miss punching your DISGUSTING face.” At sinampal nang mahina lang naman sa mukha ni Alice si Seijuro. “Don’t be too full of yourself, ‘cause you’re not my type” At disappointed na hinimas ni Seijuro yung pisngi niya.

“So? What do you need?” deretsong tanong ni Sean kay Seijuro.

At biglang sumaya yung mukha ni Seijuro na parang naka-jackpot. I’m right. He’s a total jerk!

“That’s what I like you Sean, you know me best.” At tiningnan namin ni Alice si Sean nang ‘whatever’-look at nakangiti naman siyang sumang-ayon.

At nagpatuloy sa pag-e-explain si Seijuro. “Okay guys, I need you.” At talagang nagsusumamo yung mukha niya.“I know you already heard about the two brothers who are the aces of Tokyo basketball Team, right?”

“So?” I answered.

Seijuro laughs. “So? Don’t tell me you still don’t know?

“Magtatanong ba naman kami if we already knew?”Sabi ni Alice in sarcastic tune.

Then Seijuro rolled his eyes towards Alice and iniripan lang siya nang tingin ni Alice. “Okay, they said that they’re migrating here in the Philippines and they chooses to went in our school as the same year as ours, fourth year.” Nakangiting sabi ni Seijuro.

Then Seijuro’s smile fades when Alice interrupted him. “So? Who cares about that Seij? Don’t tell me you’re getting gay towards them?” Nangpro-provoke na sabi ni Alice. Hai. Ewan ko, pero natutuwa talaga ako sa kanilang dalawa, para silang mga aso’t pusa. Hehehehehh…

“Hahah..Very funny doubtful chix.”At natawa kami sa tinawag ni Seijuro kay Alice. At ang mukha ni Alice ay namumula na sa inis. I think she doesn’t like Seijuro’s compliment. Honestly, totoo naman eih, may pagka-boyish ka kasi Al. Hahah..

“Well, I want you to help me persuade those 50-50 nationality brothers to enter in my team.” Then he smiled sweetly at us. Then binaling niya ang tingin kay Maya.“Maya, I know you can help me, nasa student council ka naman di  ba?” Nagsusumamo yung mukha ni Seijuro na hinahawakan ang mga kamay ni Maya. Ginamit na naman niya yung charm niya. Kaya ayun, kinikilig na tumango si Maya. Kaya napabuntong-hininga nalang kaming tatlo nila Sean at Alice.

“Yes! Thank you Maya, you’re the best, you know that.” Tuwang-tuwang sabi ni Seijuro sabay ‘halik-effect’ sa mga kamay ni Maya. Kung ice palang si Maya, kanina pa siyang tunaw.

“Ba’t di mo gamitin yung charm mo para makuha mo sila? Gagamitin mo pa si Maya.”Ako na yung nagsalita, naaawa na kaya ako kay Maya, parati nalang siyang hinihingan nang favour nang mukong na captain na ‘to, nagte-take advantage ‘ata sa kabaitan ni Maya. Ito namang si Maya, nagpapaka-gaga.Hahai love. Ang hirap mo ring espelingin noh?

“My charm only work for girls Ren, not for boys. Hindi para sa mga kagaya niyo ni Al, may lahing lalaki.” Pagco-correct ni Seijuro.The heck hah.Itinulad pa talaga niya ako kay Alice? Excuse me, mas girl-looking ako sa kanya noh. Then I pout.

“Whatever!” Mahinang sabi ni Alice at napangiti kami.

“Alam niyo? Bagay naman kayo eih, why don’t you start again your 24 hours relationship?” Sabi ni Sean. At natawa kaming dalawa sabay nag-apir nang mga kamay, except nga lang kay Maya na halatang pinang-didilatan kami nang mata. Fine. Seijuro is all yours Maya. Hihihh..

At yung mga reaksyon nila Alice and Seijuro  sa sinabi ni Sean ay…….. ‘Cheh!’ in each other.Oiiiii… Halatang affected yung dalawa.. :D
