CHAPTER FIFTEEN

"ARE YOU really sure about this?" tanong ni Star kay Worachet habang nasa comfort room sila ng eskwelahan.

Wor's smile widened before nodding his head. "Of course. You'll get her attention, that's for sure." Inayos niya ang kwelyo ng lalake. "Just be your normal self, P'Star."

Star let out a shaky breath. "Don't you think that she'll like it more if I dress and act like one of those bad boys? Chicks dig it."

Worachet just rolled his eyes while keeping his smile. "Don't be someone that would blend in. You might get drowned with the flow and she won't be able to notice you anymore." Worachet was deep in his thoughts that he wasn't able to see Star staring seriously at him.

After a couple more minutes, both found themselves outside the campus where they would meet up. Both wearing jeans and polo shirt. Gusto naman kasi nilang presentable ang itsura nila sa dalawang haharapin nila.

Star was obviously nervous and excited because he'll use that chance to try and properly talk to the woman his heart beats for. As for Worachet, he was sweating bullets for an unknown reason—or maybe he knows the reason but was too shy to even say it.

Parehong napabalik sa wisyo ang dalawa nang marinig ang pagbusina ng sasakyang nasa harapan na pala nila. The window rolled down and from the passenger's seat, a beautiful smiling woman appeared. "Hey, Wor!" Narae glanced his best friend. "Hi! You're his friend, right?"

Worachet felt Star freeze and wasn't able to speak so he interjected. "Yes, Narae. He's Star Yang, my best friend." Napaisip naman siya kung babanggitin niya pang dati na silang magkakilala kaya lang ay pinili na lang niyang manahimik. It's not his story to tell anyway.

Narae's smile widened before getting out of the car and offering her hand to the frozen Star. "Nice to meet you, Star. I'm Narae."

Worachet heard his best friend take a sharp breath before clearing his throat. "N-Nice to meet you too, Narae," Star shakily replied as he shook the woman's hand.

Nagulat naman sila Star at Worachet nang hatakin ni Narae ang binata pasakay sa backseat bago binalikan si Worachet saka pinasakay sa passenger seat. "Go, go. I won't mind sitting here at the back," she even whispered.

Wor just nod his head and went to quietly sit inside the car. Nang tuluyan siyang makasakay ay nakaramdam siya ng hiya at kaba nang makita niya ang suot ng professor niya.

It was just white polo, folded up to his elbows, then black slacks. He looked clean and kind but at the same time, dangerously hot. His professor caught him staring and Worachet felt his face like it was on fire as he looked away, resulting in him not seeing his hottie professor smirk. "So, where are we going?" He heard his professor ask like he was trying to lighten up the mood.

"Hmm... Since I offered this meet-up, to my favorite cafe, Oppa." Narae even clapped her hands before looking over the window.

Thanks to the mirror, Worachet can clearly see the frozen and unsure Star sitting behind him, glancing at the woman beside him. Hindi malaman ni Wor kung matatawa ba siya sa matalik niyang kaibigan o maaawa. He obviously wants to talk to her but he doesn't know how to properly do so.

Nanatiling tahimik na lang silang apat sa kotse hanggang sa makarating sila sa sinasabing paboritong cafe ni Narae. It looked pleasant and warm from the outside. But it also screams expensive. Mukha namang si Worachet lang ang na-overwhelm sa cafe na papasukan nila dahil siya na lang ang natira sa labas.

Hindi pa rin naman talaga siya tuluyang makakapasok kung hindi pa siya nilapitan ng propesor niya. "You okay there?" he asked, pulling Worachet out of reverie.

Ilang beses napakurap si Worachet bago napatingin sa lalakeng nasa harapan na niya. Napakamot naman siya ng batok nang ma-realize kung ano ang nangyari sa kanya. "Y-Yeah... S-Sorry, Sir. I ahm..." Napatingin siya sa likuran ng lalake para hanapin ang dalawa pa nilang kasama. "Wh-where are they?"

Mahinang natawa naman ang guro. "They're already inside, probably waiting in the line for our orders. Narae asked us to find a table."

Muling napakurap si Worachet. That would mean that Star is with her. That... That's the plan. It's starting to work. Napangiti naman si Worachet sa naisip bago mas malawak ang ngiting tumingin sa professor. "Let's go inside then, Sir." Tinanguan lang naman siya ng lalake saka pinaunang maglakad papasok ng cafe.

Pagpasok na pagpasok ay mamahaling tingnan na mga ilaw ang nasa lapag at kisame. May mga plastik na dahon naman at vines ang dekorasyong nakadikit sa mga pader. Kahit ang mga lamesa at upuan ay gawa sa kahoy na may disenyong dahon at vines. Kahit mukhang simple ang disenyo ng cafe ay alam na alam ni Worachet na mga mayayaman lang ang nakakabili ng mga inumin o pagkain doon.

Nang matapos tingnan ang paligid ay naghanap na nga ng pwesto sila Worachet at ang professor niyang tahimik. Nang makaupo ay medyo natigilan si Worachet nang mapansing tumabi ng upo sa kanya ang guro.

Akmang magsasalita siya, kahit hindi niya alam kung ano ang sasabihin, nang mauna ang lalakeng katabi. "I think I have a clue of why you brought Mr. Yang instead of your other friend. So I'm just trying to see what this best friend of yours will do or say if he sits beside Narae while eating," His professor explained, as if he was still inside the classroom, discussing their lesson for the day.

Hindi na lang umimik si Worachet dahil alam niyang sasang-ayon din naman siya sa guro niya. Besides, I'm just helping my best friend, might as well accept a little bit of assistance.

There was a short moment of silence that took over them again, but after a few more seconds of waiting, his professor finally talked. "So... how's your academics?" the man asked like how a father usually asks his son.

That thought did not quite sit well with Worachet for some unknown reason, but he still managed to make up the words to answer. "Ahm... just normal, Sir. I still study hard to pass all the courses."

Napatango naman ang kausap niya saka ngumiti. "Well then, what do you do whenever you get some free time? Do you party with friends?"

Worachet shook his head. "Just sometimes, Sir. As you know, I don't have that much money, and I cannot keep accepting free stuff from my friends, so I choose to stay at home. Study more."

"Just staying at home? So you tend to use social media once you take a break from studying, is that it?" His professor shows pure curiosity as he asks Worachet more about his life.

Then again, Wor shook his head. "I don't have a social media life, Sir." He even let out a chuckle as he remembered his friends persuading him into creating social media accounts. "I just find them as distractions and nothing more but a waste of time. I rather eat or sleep whenever I take a short break from reviewing."

Dahan-dahang napatango naman ang propesor niya at akmang magtatanong naman sana si Wor nang dumating na ang dalawa pa nilang kasama, may bitbit na tray ang matalik niyang kaibigan.

Naudlot tuloy ang kwentuhan ni Worachet at ng guro niya dahil sinimulan naman siyang daldalin ni Narae habang kumakain silang apat. At nang matapos ay napagdesisyunan naman nilang sumaglit sa mall bago tuluyang umuwi sa kanya-kanyang bahay o tinutuluyan. I just hope that we'll get another chance of this fun meet-up. Worachet thought as he let himself fall into slumber with a small on his pretty face.
