The Guy Who Doesn't Like Me

Gabby's Special Chapter

4 years ago...

Gabriella

Nakakakaba na nakaka-excite. Until now kasi hinihintay ko si Jannelle. Sabay kaming papasok sa first day namin. Buti na lang talaga blockmates kami kundi, I don't know kung may makakausap ako nang ayos.

"Gabby!" Sigaw ni Jannelle and I ran towards her and hugged her.

"Ano? Ready ka na ba?" She asked me and I smiled.

"Kinakabahan pa rin. Ano kaya ang feeling ng college?" And she just smiled at me.

"Alam mo, Gabby ganon pa rin naman daw. It's just that, hawak lang talaga natin ang schedule natin unlike high school na hindi tayo makakaalis ng room until magdismissal.

"So, saang room tayo?" Tiningnan ni Jannelle yung schedule namin .

"Room N207." And I just nodded at nagstart na kaming maghanap ng room.

After almost 10 mins of walking, nahanap na rin namin finally. Medyo nakakalito pa kasi but good thing, may napagtanungan kami.

"Tara, pasok na tayo." Sabi ni Jannelle but pinigilan ko siya.

"Wait lang. Kinakabahan ako." She sighed.

"Gabby, diba nga may welcoming program daw and blockmates natin ang kasama natin. Baka pag na-late tayo di tayo makasali." I just nodded and hinayaan si Jannelle na hilahin ako papasok ng room. 

Pagpasok namin, nagsitinginan samin lahat and pati na rin ang prof na may handle sa amin.

"Are you Jannelle and Gabriella?" Tanong nung prof namin and we just nodded.

"Great. Buti sakto kayo sa time. Anyways, may pairing kasi so Jannelle, you'll be paired with Matt." And may tumayo na guy sa may likod. He looks good. Actually, lahat dito sa block namin looks stunning.

"And you, Gabriella, you're with Matthew." And may nakita akong isang guy na tumayo sa may dulo rin. Hindi ako makamove. I don't know what to think but all I can think about is that this guy looks so handsome. Sabi ko nga, lahat may itsura sa section namin as I roam my eyes pero this guy, WOW.

"Gabby, you can seat beside him." And tumango na lang ako and naglakad na papunta kay Matthew. Matthew. Ang ganda ng name. Lalaking-lalaki plus he's really good looking. Don't get me wrong. I don't go after looks but this guy looks really great na maski ako, naco-conscious.

"Hi, I'm Matthew." Sabi niya and he offered his hand to me and I shook it.

"Gabby." Sabi ko and kumunot naman ang noo niya.

"Gabby? Oh, short for Gabreiella." Sabi niya and I just smiled.

"I prefer Gabriella, though." Sabi niya and tumango na lang ako while smiling. He seems friendly.

"By the way, alam mo ba gagawin?" And he started explaining things to me. He speaks well and very polite. He looks kinda mayabang but when you get to talk to him, he's not at all. Akala ko nga snob kasi syempre, kapag alam ng guy na he's good-looking, snob yan. But Matthew is kind.

Nagstart na kaming pumunta sa court kung saan mangyayari ang small activity para sa aming welcoming dito sa school and required kami na sumama sa partners namin. Mas nauuna si Jannelle ng kaunti sa amin kasi nahuhuli kami ni Matthew. Habang pababa, may mga nakakasalubong din kaming ibang students na mukhang galing din sa court. Medyo nakakahiya but I'm starting to feel excited. Nakaka-excite ang mga pwedeng mangyari ngayong college.

"Are you nervous?" Tanong ni Matthew and I looked at him and ghaad that smile. Pwede na akong matunaw talaga.

"A little bit but it's like nervous na excited." And he smiled at me nang-- I closed my eyes dahil natapilok ako but then when I opened my eyes, Matthew's hands are on me and nakaalalay siya. Tumayo agad ako nang ayos and nahiya talaga ako.
