You just wanted some compliments, that's why you answered it all

KOA'S POV

Hindi kami nakapag-salita matapos ang sagutan nila Dominique at nung professor. Dom was a little bit frustrated either irritated. You can almost see it in her eyes.

"What's your lunch today, Kokoa powder?" Orion tries to tease.

"Your teasing effects is kinda common, find another one that is more annoying and more funnier." I said with my low tone, because my throat hurts because of that pretty long long brief explanation for my dear professor */rolled eyes

Believe me or not, I do wanna have some impressions to make me cool but the situation that happened earlier? It's not cool at all. I'm like brruuuuuh, let me breatheeeeee!

"Fine but seriously what's your food today?"

"Lechon Kawali, and you?"

"Nah, I'm full."

"Full of what? Full of air gases?" He chuckles that made me smirk.

Well that daddy's joke still works, I guess */flip hair; Well, it's just me your comedian attorney.

----------------------------

"Shut up, that's not even funny." He's literally pissed off. His ears started to red.

"Fine." I munched my food while him? Having a glimpse on my food. "You want? I can give you and share it though."

"Nah, I'm ju-" I cut him off.

"Just eat, and don't make any excuses at all." I slid my tupperware unto him that bumped into his right hand. "You seem lack of sleep, aren't you?"

"I'm n-"

"Just tell me, I'm a secret keeper then."

He started to twist his head unto his surroundings. Wait what? Did I just say twist? Like literally a twist? Tf! */rolled eyes

"I am lack of sleep." Buti naman at sinabi rin gosh. Kitang kita naman sa kanya. "Kasi sila mama."

"What happened to them?"

"Kailangan na naman nila ng pera."

His diamond tears fell down. I'm not close to him and to others stuffs, so it's different from my expectations sa kaniya kasi ngayon ko lang siya nakitang umiyak.

"Why? Bakit? Do you have problem financially?"

"W-we are. Nangungutang daw sila mama ulit dahil para sa mga kapatid ko." He looked away while holding my tupperwares. "At saka nahihirapan pa ako maghanap ng trabaho."

"Oh... Ano bang trabaho ng mama mo at nangungutang pa siya?" I whispered it. May respeto pa naman ako sa family life niya.

"L-labandera."

I remained silence as all students beside of us and in front of us are chit chatting, eating and taking a picture. Samantalang ako, kami ay nag-uusap nang ganitong bagay bagay.

"I know, mahirap kami. Hin-"

"I'm not judging you, don't get the wrong okay?" I hold his cold hands, ang lamig dinaig pa ang aircon sa lamig nito. "I can help you then."

"Really?"

"Yes."

We looked for some sites that are still open for some students or for working students. Halos lahat ay puro restaurant that had morning and afternoon shift.

-----------------------------

Matapos naming mag-list down ng mga a-apply-an ni Orion ng resume niya, there's always someone who's gonna be a pride one na akala mo kung sino. Hindi marunong matuto sa mga aralin.

"Hey, Koa." Her filthy annoying voice. "You just wanted some compliments, that's why you answered it all, right?"

"Ano na naman ba ha? About ba ito sa pagkakamali mo? Go away, don't ruin our day." Saad ko at tumayo na.

"Sabihin mo na lang kasi na kaya ka nagpapabida para naman kasi mapasama ka sa top class na pwedeng mapunta sa maayos na Law school." Sabat niya kaso yung mga pisteng kamay ko nag-kukuyom na inis ko sa kanya.

"Look, if just world can give some quiet time for you? You can be good as me. Hindi ko pinagkakailang magaling ako, at may mas better pa sa akin. But look the differences, Dom. Hindi ako nagbibida kasi kaya kong umangat sa sarili kong katalinuhan at karunungan. And if you can't get my point, well that's not my fault anymore." I turned my back yet may isang malamig na bumuhos sa akin mula sa ulo ko kaya naman nabasa yung damit ko.

"I don't get it but now? I think it's a YES. You can be define as a water, you can't be seen because you got nothing."

"And you can be a juice but can give some body issue." Sinampal ko siya. "Masamang makipag-away sa mga taong mapagtiis at mapagkumbaba, kasi minsan mas masahol pa sila sa tigre kung gumalaw." I smirked.

"At kung ayaw mong malapa, manahimik ka at maging isang kuting na maamo para walang gulo!" Binuhos ko pabalik sa kanya ang natirang tubig na pinang buhos niya sa akin.

I don't wanna fight no more. Ayokong malaman na naman ni Mamshie na may gulo na naman akong kinabibilangan. I know how much she never wanted to be like that.

Because kapag basagulera ka, dinaig mo pa ang suspect na pinaghahabol ng mga tulisan */flip hair

ORION'S POV

I was like woaaaaaah, marunong din pala siyang lumaban lalo na kapag punong puno na ang pasensiya niya.

Nakabukas yung pintuan ko sa kuwarto habang ako nakatingin sa buwan nang may kumatok. A roommate to be exact.

"Nagmumuni ka pre?"

"Ha? Oo, may mga problema lang."

"Ah, lawyer ka 'diba?"

I turned my head to faced him. "Oo, bakit?"

"May lawyer kasi akong kilala tapos ang ganda niya, bagay sa iyo."

"Reto ba yan? Nako, huwag ngayon."

"Oo nga. Matalino pa, tapos hindi ba nasabi mong kailangan mo ng pera?"

"Oo, bakit? Tutulungan mo ako?"

"Syempre, just contact her."

Saad niya at saka lumabas, iniabot niya sa akin ang isang calling card.

Bakit sa kanya pa? Hindi ba pwedeng iba na lang? Nako naman talaga! Kainis naman talaga.

Next chapter ahead. Enjoy reading!
