Courting The Short-Tempered Guy

Chapter one:It All Started Here

Lyka's POV

"Ang gwapo-gwapo niya talaga! Di kumukupas," I whispered to myself, gazing at him. Why do I never get tired of staring at this guy?

"Hoy! Lykaret, tinititigan mo na naman siya! Baka matunaw 'yan, mabawasan pa ng gwapo sa mundong ibabaw," my best friend Chloe muttered beside me. We were supposed to be paying attention in class.

I ignored her and kept my eyes on my sleeping prince. Geez, he's so d-mn adorable when he's asleep.

I nudged Chloe. "He is soooo handsome," I sighed dreamily.

"Ayy, langya! Pang-sampung beses mo na 'yan sinabi ngayong araw. Nakakasawa na," she replied, rolling her eyes.

I just pouted. Eh, ano magagawa ko? She doesn't have a crush, so she doesn't understand. And sabi nila kapag wala ka daw crush abnormal ka so...

I turned my gaze back to him. Why so gwapo. Hihi.

"Okay, that's all. See you next meeting."

I snapped back to reality as our professor left the room. Oops, I didn't catch a word of the lecture. But that's okay—I did advance reading. 

I'm an AB Psychology major, while Chloe's taking AB Communication. Why are we in the same class? Because we're still Generalist. AB Psych, AB Com, and AB English majors take classes together in the first year. Got it?

And why did I choose AB Psychology? Hmmm... would you think I'm crazy if I said... I only took it because it's his course? Hihi. Yeah, I'm a little nuts. Chloe's already pointed that out, though. 

I was putting my things in my bag when—

BLAAAAG!

Everyone in the room turned to the door. Someone had slammed it open!

Chloe poked me, and I turned to her. "Si Leinard," she whispered.

I frowned and looked at his seat. Pouts. He wasn't there. "He already left? I didn't even notice---ARAY!" Geez, Chloe pulled my hair. This girl!

"Lykaret ka talaga! That's not what I meant. I meant it was Leinard who slammed the door just now! Mulala ka kahit kailan."

I raised an eyebrow. "Siya?"

She smirked and nodded. Oh my! What happened?

Chloe stood up and tugged at my arm. "May balita ako. I'll tell you everything!"

"Ano ba 'yun?" I asked, sounding a bit bored. I didn't really want to move. And I'm not that interested in whatever gossip she has to tell. Unlike her, I'm not nosy.  "Can it wait? Let's go to the library first."

She rolled her eyes. "Gross. Lyka naman, let's go to the cafeteria! You're always at the library. We can't even talk there!"

I pouted. "And I'm not interested."

"Oh really?" she asked, giving me her evil grin. I could feel goosebumps. Creepy Chloe. "You're really not interested?"

"No."

"Talaga?"

"Yes."

"Talagang-talaga?"

"Chloe."

"A'right," she shrugged. "Sayang, tungkol pa naman kay Leinard 'yung sasabihin ko."
