Ineffable Euphoria

"You know what, I asked my friends about Alessandro since I got curious,"

I nod, trying not to look interested to avoid issues.

I admit I'm still damn attracted to Alessandro even after those heated conversations, but that doesn't mean I forget about how arrogant he is, and how he disrespected me. I hate him, but he's so hot!

Hindi ko naman s'ya sinasadya pero dahil tauhan s'ya ni Daddy ay madalas ko na s'yang makita tuwing bumibisita ako, o 'di kaya'y maabutan sa bahay na may inaasikaso. But unlike before, I didn't try to strike a conversation with him. In short, we never had a conversation again after I burst in front of him. That just made me realize that he didn't really like me. Kasi binabati naman ako ng mga tao kapag nariyan ako, pero s'ya isang sulyap lang ay wala na.

"Hmm, what did they said?"

As if.

The truth is gusto ko ring makarinig ng impormasyon sa kan'ya para naman kapag may pangit s'yang nasabi ay unti-unti kong ayawan iyong masungit na iyon.

"Where do I start? The PG part, or the SPG?"

Napangiwi ako. "Anywhere, Heaven,"

"Marami raw flings,"

My brow arched.

Well, I thought he's a one woman, man, when I knew about his girlfriend but the thought of him being a playboy did cross my mind. Kung paano s'ya makisalamuha noong unang kita ko pa lang, nahihinula ko na, at tama pala ako.

"But he has a girlfriend,"

Heaven laughs as if I said something ridiculous. I glare at her.

"It's 21st century, Marjorie. Do you think someone as hot as him would take relationships seriously? I bet he even had FuBus,"

Umirap ako.

"Don't be ridiculous. Ask the person muna,"

"No! Really! This isn't from me ha, ilang babae ang kakilala ng friend ko na naging fling daw ni Alessandro. And you know what he said? Hindi makalimutan ng mga babae kasi he's good in bed. He fucks hard, Marjorie." She said nodding and giggled.

"What?"

She laughs. "Ask him yourself. Nakita kayo ni Carson talking, right?"

Natigilan ako roon.

Oh, how I hate it when people gossip about something fictional. And Carson? Kung sa kan'ya galing 'to ay papatayin ko s'ya.

"Tauhan s'ya ni Daddy. Of course, I'll talk to him about Dad's whereabouts,"

She raised a brow before answering her ringing phone.

Ako naman ay kinuha rin ang sariling cellphone at agad min-message si Carson para kumpirmahin kung anong pinagsasasabi n'ya sa'kin, but like thought, hindi nga galing sa kan'ya iyon.

Hindi ko na hinintay si Heaven na matapos sa kan'yang katawagan. Dumeretso ako papasok sa school para ituloy na ang naantalang pagkuha ng schedule dahil sa kan'yang mga kwento.

I kind of regret listening to her. Ano namang pake ko kung hindi makalimutan ng mga babae si Alessandro? Does that burden me? No. In the first place, I just like him, I never intended to cross the line. He's just my crush because he's hot.

I stare at my schedule and think thoroughly. Subjects that aren't necessity, dropped. I already narrow it down at home, kaya mabilis natapos ang pagaayos ng kinuha kong subjects. Now, I'm only contemplating about running for student council or not. Even the professors I ran to asked if I'll go for it, but then, I'm still torn and gave them a shallow answer—I'm not sure yet.
