"Uy, Liv! Tara kain mamaya! 'Sama natin sila Eisha at Rhi." hingal na hingal na sinabi sa 'kin ni Izzy dahil hinahabol niya ako.
It's our 2nd week of Uni. Third-year college na kami. I don't even know if my blockmates from last year are still my blockmates for this year.
"Sige. Saan ba?" Tanong ko sa kaniya. "Mcdo?" Sambit niya. "Sure!" I said. "Ayun, oh!" masayang sabi niya.
Izzy, Eisha, and I have been friends since Junior High School. Si Rhi naman, ngayong college lang. I dearly love them with all my hypothalamus—naks, parang nursing ang kinuha, ah!
Habang kami ni Izzy ay naglalakad papunta sa CR, may naka-banggaan akong student na hindi familiar sa akin. He was wearing glasses, matangkad, chinito, and yeah, he's quite handsome.
Maybe a transferee? I have no idea.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I said while picking up his books and also his glasses. When I picked up his glasses, I immediately felt guilty kasi I saw a crack on the lenses.
"Hala, omg.. I'm so sorry! I can pay for it! How much is it?" tarantang sinabi ko. While I looked so worried, he giggled. What? Did I say something funny? Is something on my face?!
"No, it's okay. I can just buy new ones." he smiled before walking away. I must admit it, that he was cute...
"Hoy, Liv! Ok ka lang? Bakit tulala ka d'yan?" tanong ni Izzy sa 'kin. "Ay, ha ano?" I said, confused.
"Liv! Alam kong pogi si Liam, pero kanina pa raw andon sa tapat ng CR sina Rhi at Eisha!" pasigaw na sabi sa 'kin ni Izzy.
Huh, so Liam is his name.... Even his name is adorable.
"How do you know him and I don't? I'm basically friends with everyone here!" I curiously questioned Izzy habang nagmamadali kaming maglakad. Parang mga lolang nagbi-brisk walking, eh!
"Ah, Liam was transferred here from the other campus in the West. Apparently they moved houses near this campus kaya it's easier to travel daw...based on what I heard." Izzy explained.
Oh, okay. Reasonable.
Nang makarating kami sa Mcdo, hindi na "Welcome" o "Good afternoon" ang narinig ko galing sa guard, kundi ang matinis na boses ni Izzy ang bumati sa amin.
"Hoy mga ate, bakit ang tagal niyo naman? Kanina pa kami rito oh!" sabi ni Eisha na halatang kanina pa nagtitimpi. "Eh kasi naman itong si Liv, may naka bungguan lang sa hallway na pogi, inalukan niya nang bayaran 'yong salamin na nabasag niya! Natulala pa!" Izzy explained.
"Hoy! Hindi kaya! Plus, I just asked him how much to repair his glasses because I'm a good girl!" sambit ko naman. "Sows!" sabay-sabay silang nagtinginan sa 'kin.
I'm not gonna lie tho, he's actually my type. Tall, has glasses, nerdy, cute. He's exactly my type.
When we sat down after ordering, I was in total shock when that Liam guy I bumped into earlier, entered inside Mcdo with his friends.
"Shit shit shit. Izzy, cover me up." I quietly said to Izzy. "What the heck, Liv! Anong cove- oh.." she said but immediately realized why I was making her my cover or shield.
'Tong dalawa na sa Rhi at Eisha, nagtataka kung bakit nakatago ako sa likod ni Izzy. "Liv, why are you hiding behind Izzy?" nagtatakang tanong ni Rhi.
Hindi pa ako nakakasagot, biglang sumabat agad Izzy. "Eh kasi naman, nakita niya rito 'yong nakabanggaan niya sa hallway kanina!" sabi ni Izzy kay Rhi na kanina pa naguguluhan.
"LOL, Liv, that was not slick of you then. Look, papunta na tuloy siya sa table natin." asar ni Eisha.
"Hey. Uh, you accidentally dropped this on the floor earlier. I assume your name is Olivia?"
Holy shit! I accidentally dropped my id! That's why the guard was glancing at me while we went outside the campus! Gosh.
"I uh.. t-thank you." I said, stuttering. I didn't know why I stuttered but I just wanted to say thanks.
When he saw my eyes lingering, he tapped me on the shoulder.
"Okay ka lang?" he wondered.
Wala akong masabi kaya tumango na lang ako. Takte, pawis na pawis na ako!
"Okay, then see you around...Olivia." he smirked playfully then left.
Anak ng pucha!?
Oh my god, he just called me by my name!
"Hoy, Liv! Ok ka lang?" Tanong ni Rhi na may halong sigaw. "Ay oo naman. Ok lang ako, sobra!" sabi ko sa kaniya.
Hehe. Sana mahulog ko ulit ID ko—charez.
