Quendrick's POV
"Bro, sama ka mamaya?"
"Saan niyo nanaman ako dadalhin Mountain?" Pang-aasar ko sa surname niya. Its Montagne
"Pwede ba Peter Parker?"
"Saan nanaman ba kasi yan? Ito naman, parang walang exam bukas ah" I told him, not taking my eyes off the book I'm reading. Mahilig rin akong gumala, but ever since college, I got so busy.
"Cimo's lang, toh naman. May group study kasi kami nila Yael at Zid"
"Group study" I scoffed "Anong pag-aaralan niyo? Pano mang-akit ng babae?"
"Alam mo, kung ayaw mo, di wag!" Aniya at umalis kaya natatawa naman akong umiling-iling. I wasn't fond of the idea of Group Study. I couldn't concentrate when someone's around, so I choos to stay at my unit and study there instead.
After class, I left campus and walked the streets of DV to go to my car. Hindi na kasi ako nakapag park sa loob ng campus dahil puno na yung parking lot. Hindi rin naman ganun ka layo ang pinagpark ko ng sasakyan kaya okay lang na maglakad. May mga nakakasalubong pa akong mga kakilala ko kaya bumabati naman ako sa kanila. Nasa may LVU na ako and I was about to cross the street when my eyes caught the attention of someome crying. I really didn't like to see someone cry. It was none of my business kaya tumawid na ako ng kalsada, but my guilt was killing me.
"Damn it" bumalik ako kung saan ang babae at tumabi sa kaniya. Her scent was so great, I could stay by her side forever! Hinayaan ko lang siya na umiyak doon hanggang sa mapansin niya ang presensya ko ng maglahad ako ng panyo at tinanggap niya naman yun.
I couldn't get a glimpse of her face, but when I did, my heart skipped a beat. She looked like a Goddess, she was so beautiful.
Yet she was so masungit. And I annoyed her more. Hindi ko alam pero natutuwa ako sa itsura niyang naiinis. Hindi ko kasi inakala na sa itsura niyang napaka inosente at parang hindi kayang pumatay ng lamok, eh iba pala sa totoo. She was pikon, and funny at the same time. She kept saying how annoying I was and no one has ever said that but my sister. Everyone liked my pressence, except her. Everyone called me handsome, except her.
She was the opposite of everyone.
Yet, I liked it.
"Don't be a fool Quendrick" sabi ko sa sarili matapos niyang umalis.
It's been weeks, and I almost forgot about her. And I thought I wouldn't see her again but here she is, acting like she didn't see me. Cute
Nakita ko siyang dumaan sa harap namin kaya naisipan ko namang sundan siya "May bibilhin lang ako sa baba" paalam ko sa mga kaibigan ko at sinundan siya.
"Hi Miss Yna! May I take your order??"
Yna...so that's her name.
"Bye Yna!" I shouted as I watched her leave. Nagtataka namang tumingin ang mga kaibigan ko
"Sino yun?" Takang tanong ni Zid
"Oo nga. Kilala mo?" Tanong rin ni Art
"Of course he knows her Arthur. He knows her name, duh" pagsingit ni Yael kaya napailing-iling nalang ako
Oh and that wasn't the last time I saw her. We met again at Arthur's house. It was his mother's birthday and we were invited. Lahat kami pumunta maliban kay Yael dahil pupunta raw ang mga magulang niya at baka ipapa arrange marriage siya ng wala sa oras. Pero susunod nalang raw siya sa after party.
