The Camera Hater

Chapter 11

Tom's POV

Asshole.

I wanna punch this asshole's face right here, right now! Who the hell is he to tell me I should stay away from Psyche? The nerve of that guy!

What's his name again? Maz? Mas? Mak?

Damn him.

From the looks of his face, he's freakin' showing me that he and Psyche can be sweet at times. Fvck him. We can do that too.

I heaved a deep sigh and continued reading when my phone beeped.

From: Andrew
Hey, brotha! Whatcha doing?

The hell. So gay, Andrew, so gay. I composed my message.

To: Andrew
Well, I'm about to punch someone's face.

From: Andrew
Wow! I should be watching that! Must be a nice show. ;)

To: Andrew
Hell. I wanna kick his ass.

From: Andrew
Who's that damn lucky guy anyway? Need help? Can call Harrison.

I grinned at the thought.

To: Andrew
No, thanks. Can handle it at my own. He's a dick. I can manage him.

From: Andrew
Ya' sure? Haha! Hey, you haven't told me yet who the hell he is.

To: Andrew
I fvckin' don't remember his name. Something like Mas, Maz or Mak.

From: Andrew
Oh! It might be Max. He's the campus heart throb. Psyche mentioned him once.

Campus heart throb?

I looked at this asshole and saw him staring at my Psyche. I rolled my eyes. He's not even handsome to begin with.

To: Andrew
Heart throb? Fvck that. I'm way more handsome than him!

From: Andrew
Okay. Since you're my brotha, I'll agree! Hahaha. Just kiddin'! Of course, Australian blood dominates them all!

To: Andrew
You and your gay thing. Andrew Kantarias sucks.

"I think you should be reading and not texting, Tom."

I looked at Psyche who gave me a death glare. I automatically placed my phone inside my bag and smiled sweetly.

"You're phone's beeping every now and then disturbs us. Tskk." The asshole retorted. I saw Psyche touched his arm with her elbow.

"Sorry. Andrew was texting me with an important matter so I needed to text him back." -Me

"It's fine. Don't worry about it." Psyche answered then smiled. That smile. How I freakin' want to see that smile everyday. She really is beautiful. Suddenly, I had this urge to hug her and kiss her. But I just can't because if I'd do, she would definitely go away.

Few minutes later, 'Max' said we should be heading to our classroom since our class is about to start.

"Hey, Psyche. Let me carry that." I tried to get her book and she handed it to me.

"Hindi naman mabigat ang libro e. Tskk. Dami mong alam." What did he say?

"Sayin' something, dude?" I asked cooly. He's been acting cool a while ago so I should too.

"He he. Max said we should hurry." And Psyche faked a smile. She must be lying. I know better. I may not understand what this asshole said but from the tone of his voice and expression of his face, he is irritated.
