Unexpected roommate[EDITING]

EPILOGUE

[OMG!] Lakas na sigaw ni Jane sa tawag.

I felt my eardrum ringing.
Etong babaeng 'toh, ang sakit talaga sa tenga.

[Huy, true ba? Boyfriend mo na talaga si Vince? Baka dino-dogshow mo lang ako, ah!]

Tumawa ako sa sinabi niya habang sinusuklay ang basa kong buhok, getting all ready for class.

"Oo nga beh, paulit-ulit ka nalang, ah.." I grabbed my bag and went out of my room, hawak-hawak ko pa rin ang cellphone ko sa aking tenga.

[Gagi, omg, kinikilig ako!] Lakas na sigaw niya ulit. Tumatawa pa eto na parang nasasapian.

"Gaga ka talaga." Tumawa ako. "O, siya..aalis na ako, mamaya nalang tayo mag chika pagdating ko sa school." I then ended the call.

I grabbed my room keys and walked my way out of my apartment.

I locked my door and double checked it if it was locked or not. Narinig kong bumukas ang pintuan sa aking likuran, alam ko na agad kung sino iyon.

"Morning," Vince smiled and locked his apartment door.

"Good morning," I bit my lower lip para macontrol ang kilig na na-raramdaman ko.

"Did you eat breakfast?" He asked as he took a step closer to me and grabbed my bag so he could carry it.

"Oo, tapos na" I replied, facing him.

"Sayang," Kinalmot niya ang kaniyang bituka sabay tawa ng mahina.

Ang pogi naman ng tawa..

"Sayang?" Pag-uulit ko sa sinabi niya, nalilito kung ano ang ibig niyang sabihin.

"I..uhh.." He scratched his nose with his index finger. "..cooked you breakfast." Itinaas niya ang hawak niyang lunch box para ipakita sa'kin.

Hala! Sana pala sinabi ko na lang na hindi pa ako kumain, sayang naman yung effort ni Vince.

"It's okay, i'll eat this later for lunch nalang," He said, smiling.

"Akin nalang! Yan nalang i-lulunch ko para hindi na ako bi-bili sa Cafeteria." I took the lunch box from his hand. "Thank you, ah,"

I saw him looking away, smiling. Pero agad din niyang inilipat ang tingin niya sa'kin.

"Let's go, i'll drive our way to school."

"Vince, dito nalang ulit ako ba-baba, baka makita tayo ng iba na magkasama." Worried kong sabi sa kaniya.

"What? No. Ihahatid kita inside the school gate." Patuloy pa rin ang pag ma-maneho niya patungo sa school gate.

I'm tapping both of my feet sa sahig ng sasakyan ni Vince, worrying kung ano ang masasabi ng iba kung makikita nila kami na magkasama.

"Stay there," He said as soon as he parked the car sa school parking lot. Lumabas siya ng sasakyan at nag-lakad patungo sa car door ng passenger seat, kung saan ako naka-upo.

He then opened the door for me. "Tara na," He moved his head telling me to go out of the car.

I inhaled deeply trying to calm myself. Maraming tao ang nasa labas, kinakabahan tuloy ako.

"Alexis?" He called out for me,  but i didn't quite heard him.

Nakapako ang tingin ko sa labas ng sasakyan, ang 'raming estudyante!
