MSIH Series 1 : What Is Love

Chapter 3

XYRRAH

"Xyrrah, can you take me to Xavier?" I nodded at her highness.

"Yes, your highness." And by that I started walking with the Princess towards the dorms.

Some got surprised seing us both, who wouldn't be? this is the boys dormitory. But, an order is an order.

We both stop when we're in front of Sir Xavier's dorm.

"You can leave now, Xyrrah." I bowed before leaving.

I went to the schools wide space to have some peace and fresh air. But my peace got ruined when someone sat besides me.

"Ey, Xy. Ba't mo ibinaba tawag ko kanina?" I didn't bother looking at him

"None of your business."

"Sanabi ko na sa'yo, wala akong negosyo 'di ba?" I sighed.

"Distance yourself from me, Sandoval. I don't want to get infected of your virus." He chuckled that made my heart beat loudly.

'What was that?'

I look at him, only to see his beautiful brown sparkling eyes. I shrugged.

It's just minutes since he's close to me, but I already got infected with his virus.

"Oh, gwapo ko no?" That line again?

"Seriously, Sandoval. Don't you know any word than that word you always say?" His brows frowned.

"Anong word do'n?" He asked confused.

"Tsk."

"Ah, 'yong 'gwapo' ba?" I nodded. He knows, but he asked? he is crazy.

"'Yon kasi kahulugan ko." I frowned. What?

"I don't understand you."

"Ay, oo. 'Di ka pala nakakaintindi masyado ng tagalog no?" he said while holding his chin.

"Yeah, some filipino words are hard for me to understand." I said which is true, I've been here in the Philippines for 4 years now but, still I only know few filipino words that everyone uses.

"American ka?" I shrugged.

"No. Do I look like one?" He looked at me head to toe.

"No. Your hair is black, medyo singkit mata mo, ang ganda mo, tapos ang kinis ng balat mo. 'Yon mga amerikano kasi, may pula pula ang balat nila, lalo na kung mabilad sa araw." He said a lot of words, but did I just heard him said that I'm beautiful?

And why is my heart pounding like crazy?

"Ano ba talaga nationality mo?" Okay, damn that question.

"Half European, half Asian." His eyes sparkled.

"Asian ka? Saang bansa?" Good thing he asked the Asian side.

"Sa Korea ba?" He asked

"Yeah. How'd you know?" He chuckled and for the third time my heart pounded like it's being chased thousands of stallions.

"Your eyes, your skin, your face is definitely a face of a Korean. Except for your eye color. It's a blueish green color."

"By the way, do you speak Korean?" I nodded

"Great! can you teach me how?" He said with puppy eyes, aw he's so cute—wait, what?

"No." If I'm gonna teach this crazy Sandoval. I'm sure I'll be infected with his virus. It already had affected me by having some rapid heart pounding, and I found him cute! That's totally his virus.
