Teacher's Pet

Chapter 5

~Obey~

Bumukas ang pinto at pumasok iyong isa ko na kaklase, tinignan ni'ya kami ni Jacob. Mabilis na lumayo ako sa kaniya at saka kinuha ang bag ko na nahulog sa lapag.

"Uh, Sir. Excuse me po, nakalimutan ko po iyong panyo ko at baka mayari ako kay Mama." Ani nito at saka mabilis na kinuha iyong green na panyo sa isang upuan.

Mabilis din naman itong lumabas dahil tinawag na ito ng mga kaibigan ni'ya. Akmang lalabas na ako ng biglang hawakan ni Jacob ang kaliwang braso ko, napatingin ako duon at saka mabilis na itong tinanggal .

"Lori, please. Let me talk to you." He said and grab my arm again.

"You're crazy, Sir. Our connection should ended two days ago." I emphasize the word Sir and look directly on his eyes. "

Pumikit siya ng mariin, "But I can't. Palagi kitang hinahanap, I don't know but there's something in me that longing for your presence." Namumungay na ang kaniyang mata na animo'y inaantok.

"You're just missing your girlfriend, don't make me your rebound." Seryosong sabi ko dito at saka padarag na inalis iyong kamay niya.

Mas delikado kung maniniwala ako sa mga salita ni'ya, natatakot ako na baka pati paniniwala ko ay talikuran ko na dahil lang sa kaniya.

Mas lalong pumungay ang mga mata ni'ya, "I'd break up with her.. last saturday night. That's because I'm slowly falling for you since what happened that midnight." hinawakan ni'ya pareho ang aking dalawang kamay at saka hinalikan ang likod nito.

Napapikit ako ng mariin nang lumapat ang mainit na labi ni'ya sa aking balat, Am I falling for it? Am I falling for him?

Come back to your principles Lori! It's all fake.

"I-Is it possible?" Pilitin ko man na hindi mautal ay nangyari pa din.

His gaze makes me drunk, I can't find a solution to this.

He stare at me intently, "It is."

The bell rang, it means break time. It make me came back to my senses, I'd wish I have it earlier. I run as fast as I can and leave him there, I'm confused on everything.

Is it possible that he fall for me just like that? Wala pang week kaming nagkakilala, it's really suspicious. But even it is, I can't hide the fact that I slowly believing his words.

I arrived in the field and saw Lucas there with the fast food boxes, I sat before him and sigh.

"What's wrong?" Takhang tanong ni'ya habang umiinom nang iced tea na nasa cup.

"Nothing, is this mine?" Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at saka tinanong kung akin ba iyong nasa isang box.

He nod, "Yeah, I ordered your favourite burger." Nginitian ni'ya ako at saka inginuso na ang pagkain.

"Thank you, Lucas."

He smiled in a strangely way, "Wala ng libre sa panahon ngayon, Lori babe. There's a strange girl bugging me like a psycho on the next building, I want you to pretend my girlfriend for a month."

Automatic na nanlaki ang mata ko, "What? Girlfriend?!"

Tumango siya, "Yep, just for a month. Kapag nasa school lang naman at nasa paligid iyong baliw na iyon, don't worry I'll feed you and buy whatever books you want." Nakangiting ani ni'ya habang nakatingin sa 'kin.
