Cay's Zodiac (Completed)

Chapter 01

LEO WAS done preparing. Lahat ng gamit niya ay kumpleto na sa bag niya, even his wallet was loaded, all thanks to his hard work during summer. He kept on playing with his phone, editing the photos he took yesterday, pagkatapos ay papalitan ulit niya. He can't decide kung anong klase ng edit ba ang gusto niya.

"Pwede ba, Leo? Pumirmi ka nga! Para kang inasinan na bulate!" Sinamaan siya nito ng tingin.

Sa kasamang palad, ang ate niya ang maghahatid sa kanya sa School. He's not a toddler anymore but they'd usually act na parang mawawala siya anytime. Leo inwardly sighed and sat properly. Inayos din niya ang pagkakalagay ng seatbelt niya kahit na maayos naman na 'yon.

Ngayon pa lang niya malalaman kung saang section siya mapupunta. And he's praying hard to God na sana ay kaklase niya ang babae na nakita niya noon. She was the reason why he changed his mind after all.

"Malapit mo na ba matapos ang pinapagawa ko sayo?" Pisces asked.

He sighed and showed her his phone screen. Obviously, dahil hindi siya mapakali, hindi rin niya natapos ang pinapagawa nito. And that was to layout the Café Instagram account.

"Mamaya, tatapusin ko 'to." Leo said like he was promising.

In his mind, gusto niya na manalangin ang kapatid niya na makakuha siya ng kahit kaunting inspirasyon mamaya sa klase. Sunod sunod na lumilitaw ang mga ideya sa utak niya sa tuwing naiisip niya ang dalaga.

Sometimes, he thinks that he's using her for his own benefits. He earned the money he has right now with his own sweat, pero kung hindi naman dahil dito, wala siya ni isang magagawa sa pinapatrabaho sa kanya.

When they arrived in School, hinayaan na siya ng kapatid niya na hanapin ang classroom niya. It wasn't that hard, lalo na at palagi siyang nandito noon. His sister was a former student here.

He clicked his tongue when he finally saw his name. Ilang minuto niya pa 'yon na tinitigan habang pilit niyang inaalala ang pangalan na tinawag sa babae.

"Kuya, umuwi ka na please? Kaya ko na."

Leo's head instantly looked back when he heard that familiar voice. May kasama ito na lalaki, he looks like her, in some angles. The man was tall, halata na tambay ito sa gym dahil sa klase ng katawan na mayroon ito. Leo wondered if girls at their age likes a man like him.

His question in his mind got an immediate answers when girls at their age started to whispered and some were already yelling how handsome and nice the man body was.

Hindi niya pinansin ang mga ito. His eyes were already set on the girl beside the man, looking for her name. His breathing hitched when she stopped in front of him. Agad siya na tumabi at pumasok sa loob ng classroom and find a vacant seat.

"Kuya, you don't need to—"

"Shush, baby. I'm just checking..." his brother said when he enter the room with her.

Nakapamulsa ito at iniikot ang tingin sa buong classroom. Lalo na sa mga kaklase na lalaki ng kapatid nito. Of course, he's not an exemption. Nakita niya kung paano umiwas ang mga kaklase nila sa tuwing napapatingin ang kapatid nito sa gawi nila.

And as for Leo, he can proudly say that he's a brave rat for not avoiding the Lion's gaze. Hindi nakatakas sa paningin niya ang pagtaas ng sulok ng labi nito sa kanya.

Was that a warning? Leo wondered.

"Damn, his presence is no joke! Kinilabutan ako bigla!"

Leo heard someone said from his back.

"Hi, is that your brother?" Someone asked her.

"Yes," matipid na sagot nito.

"I heard from my brother... he's a terrible man. But I don't think so, ang gwapo niya masyado para maging bad boy right?"
