I am the Rain

Step Up

Roewell's POV

"Dude!"

"Oii. RAyc. May kailangan ka?"

"Hehehe.. Wala naman. May itatanong lang ako."

"Sure.. Ano ba yun?"

"Do you find Francis attractive?"

"What?! Ikaw ha! Ano na naman-"

"Dude, just asking. Gusto mo ba siyang ligawan? Kasi...." I froze. Do I find her attractive? Of course! Everyone does, right? But.. Do I want to court her?

"..........tulungan. Payag ka?" There comes a long pause. Suddenly, the class then filled with noise as one of the student walk inside the room. That girl. Doesn't she know that someone admire her from a distance? Even if...

"Francis, nakipaghabulan ka na naman ba sa aso niyo? Naku ha!"

"Asan ba ang suklay mo?"

"Cath.. Kahit sa panty niya, wala kang makikitang suklay."

"Hala girl. Baka naman beki ka?"

"Ngek! Baka naman tibo? Mabuti pa nga beki.. consiousness sa beauty."

"Aii naku.. Bayaan nyo na nga lang. Tong dalawang to talaga!"

"Bayaan? Edi parang naging mais ka na."

"Mabuti pa nga mais eh. Nakarebond pa ang buhok. Hay.. hali ka nga dito! Cath, pakikuha nga nang suklay."

"Teka!"... Kahit simpleng pag-aayos nang sariling buhok di magawa. Siya lang ata ang babaeng walang suklay na dala sa bag.

"So Dude... Is it a deal?"

Francis' POV

"Since the day is going to an end. I would like you to pass the activity to Miss Riomeda. Francis, kindly gather all the activity and put it on my table."

"Okey Sir."

"If you're done, you are already free to go. I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow."

I start to gather all my things. Since I was the first to finish the said activity, I waited for the other.

I have now all the papers. Other students went on their way home. I greet the faculty members as I pass the way to Mr. Xavier's desk. I went back to our room to pick my things.

"Hi Francis!"

"Oh hi Roe! Bat andito ka pa? Hindi ka pa ba uuwi?"

"Ahmm.. hindi pa. Pwede ba kitang makausap?"

"Ano ba yun?"

"Ah... ano..."

"Sabihin mo na. I won't bite you if you did."

"Haha.. I-I'm sorry.. As I was saying, Uhm.. ano ba.. ano ba yang laman nang bag mo? Mukhang mabigat eh. Gusto mo ako nalang magdadala-"

"Hahaha.. Ikaw talaga Roe. Alam ko naman na hindi yan yung itatanong mo. Take it slow. We have a bunch of time before 4o'clock."

"Eh.." He scratches the back of his head. I feel his nervousness.

"Go on.. Say it. Don't be nervous..." I smile.

"A-ano bang gusto mo sa mga lalake?"

"Sa mga lalake.. Well.. I like smart guys. Yung tipong he say something in a knowledgeable way. Pero hindi naman yung nerdy types who wear glasses. But I think they look cute with their glasses on." I imagine Roe with those glasses and oh... he look perfect.
