"Why is she following me?" I whispered habang natawid sa pedestrian lane.
Nakasabay ko siya sa jeep and kanina ko pa napapansin na sinusundan niya 'ko. I see na same school kami because of her uniform.
Pagliko ko sa building namin ay I sighed a breath of relief kasi 'di na niya ako sinusundan.
While testing my instrument to my professor, I saw her again.
They're at the bench near our music room having a snack. I didn't mind them since I guess there's nothing wrong with watching us. I mean we also cast recitals so why not?
Speaking of recitals, when we had our music recital at the auditorium. I saw them by the crowd. She's hiding behind the persons in front of her but she's so noticeable because tinuturo siya ng mga tropa niya.
I nearly played a wrong note because I was out of focus for a while. Gladly I picked myself back up.
During Christmas break, nagkayakagan kami ng mga tropa ko dito sa subdivision namin and I agreed.
"Bro ayaw mo sa kaniya?" Tanong ni Gab. I don't hate nor like her. It's just that I believe na if you like someone, you should make a move and go for it.
"Ok lang naman" I answered briefly and continued chewing on my Calamares.
After break, nagkaroon agad kami ng ganap ni unknown girl. 'Di ko pa kasi alam name niya kaya for the time being we call her Siomai as her code name.
Why? I often see her eating Siomai. Morning, lunch, uwian and who knows, baka pati kapag nasa bahay siya ay Siomai pa rin kinakain niya.
Napaupo na lang ako sa upuan ko after what happened earlier. Hinabol siya nila Gab and Charlie and nakakahiya. I can feel her embarrassment pero mas nakakahiya na hinabol siya ng tropa ko.
"Bro ano ba? Chill, tinutulungan ka na nga namin eh" Tumawa pa nga ang mga gago.
"Hindi siya funny bro. Malay mo uncomfortable siya sa nangyari kanina" I breathed out, massaging my forehead.
