Cay's Zodiac (Completed)

Chapter 17

LEO MOVING near their School was an advantage for her, hindi na niya kailangan pumunta sa mga coffee shop nearby their school just so she could study. She's humming along with the music she's listening to, while looking for her room.

Ngayon ang first day of school nila and she's excited. No heated conversation during the enrollment because she enrolled early.

Pisces, Leo's sister, informed her that Leo took Marketing. Kumunot ang noo niya at hindi maitago sa mukha niya ang gulat nang makita si Leo sa building ng Psychology.

"What are you…" hindi niya natuloy ang dapat na tanong niya nang makita ang itsura ng ID lace nito. "What on earth are you thinking, Leo?" Rayos breathlessly uttered.

Leo smiled at her but she didn't appreciate it. Even just a little. Hindi maitago ni Rayos ang disgusto na makita ito sa building ng Psychology. He was supposed to be in Marketing. That's where he belongs. That's what he loves the most.

Rayos was drowning with her own thoughts, making decisions for Leo, she couldn't help it. At all.

"Nag-enroll ako sa Psychology because I wanted to be with you."

Mariin na pumikit si Rayos sa inis. Para silang bumalik sa ganap noong Senior high sila, ang kaibahan lang, alam ni Rayos ngayon na sinundan siya nito. And it was frustrating in her part.

Hindi sila naglalaro. Choosing a course was a big step to decide for their future.

"Sigurado ka ba na ito ang gusto mo?" nagtitimpi na tanong niya rito.

Leo shrugged his shoulders. "Nandito ka e," he answered.

It wasn't enough for her. His answer was not enough. Hindi ito malinaw. Simula pa lang ng klase nila, hindi ang course na pinili niya ang nagbigay sa kanya ng stress, kung hindi ang boyfriend niya.

Rayos was watching him throughout the day.

"Fine. I'll give you a month, if I see you struggling, I won't keep my mouth shut." Rayos promised to herself as she stared at Leo who was busy reading her book.

Rayos kept her mouth shut. Hindi siya nagsumbong sa kapatid nito kahit na alam niya sa sarili na ayon ang una niyang dapat na gawin kaysa ang kunsintihin ang boyfriend niya.

Leo was doing good for their first week. Minsan ay tumatambay siya sa apartment nito at sabay silang nag-aaral sa sala. Walang laman ang kwarto niya sa apartment nito maliban sa isang pares ng pantulog, isang pares ng uniform niya incase of emergency.

"Chocolate cake for my Rayos." Naglalambing na yumakap si Leo sa kanya at hinalikan ang gilid ng noo niya.

"Stop. Hindi pa rin ako natutuwa sayo, Leo," masungit na sabi niya.

Leo slowly chuckled. She's still observing him and so far, he's doing good. As well as taking good care of her. Tama nga ang kapatid niya, Leo will be good.

Pinapakain siya nito sa tamang oras, he'll stop her when she's overdoing her studies, he always prioritises her. He's taking care of her even when they're in School, and she'll take it as a reason why girls at their age are starting to crowd Leo.

"Good morning, Leo! Are you free later?" One of their blockmates asked. A female, of course.

Rayos sighed heavily. Hugging her books. Pinipigilan ang sarili na huwag 'yon isampal sa babae na harap harapan na lumalandi sa boyfriend niya.

"No," he answered in a low voice. Sa kanya lang naman ito nagiging maingay.

"Kailan ka libre? Maybe, we can have a lunch together? Or dinner? Either of the two is fine," malambing ang boses na sabi nito.
