CAL

Cal parked his motorcycle in the parking lot and kept it locked. Delikado na at baka masalisihan siya.

Unlike the other days, he's feeling more comfortable and burden less. Because guess what, El accepted his apology. It was such a great news for him, alam naman talaga niyang may kasalanan siya sa nangyari.

"Ngiti-ngiti, ah?" Jeyhan playfully teases his newly arrived friend na naupo sa harapan niya.

"Sheesh, ikaw ba naman makasabay ang crush pauwi?" Gatong pa ni Inigo.

"Shut up, she's not yet my crush." Cal smirked and shook his head.

By the word 'yet', does he plan to get attracted by her beauty? Pero sino nga ba ang tinutukoy nila? Ang daming babaeng umaaligid kay Cal, who's going to dare resist his facial features and body built, after all?

Cal is one of the most popular guy in the University. He's currently at rank 2 as the one of the blessed guys with so much handsomeness. Of course, his foreign blood never disappoints, it covers his whole being.

"Sus, may balak!" Francis arrived while holding a cup of coffee.

Nakaupo sila sa tables and benches near the main building at nagpalipas ng oras. Their class will start at eight but they usually arrive at seven to talk and have some fun.

"Just...stop. You know, I just got forgiven." Cal ended the discussion and fell into the abyss of his own mind.

Aaminin niya, first time niyang nanuyo ng babae ng dahil sa academics. He had girlfriends before but the reason behind their love quarrels are always because of jealousy and insecurities. It's new and odd to had such experiences with his classmate — Raquel.

Nahirapan siya, yes. He didn't know how to pursue the lady since they are classmates and having a 'thing' with his block mates is not usually his forte. He didn't know how to capture the interest of the girl just to accept his sorry.

Nabalik siya sa reyalidad nang makita ang dalagang iniisip. El's walking with her friends who's also their classmates — Shai and Reese. El was smirking and the two on her side's laughing. They're talking about something.

He bit his lower lips staring. He didn't know how to explain it, but he just can't get his eyes off of her. Crush nga ba niya? Maybe yes. Maybe no. Who knows? Only Cal knows it. But even himself cannot explain what he is feeling as of the moment.

She's definitely pretty. He thought. Of course, who could just ignore El's amazing features? She doesn't have any foreign blood running in her veins, a pure Filipino, but she has these unique features that can surely capture a guys' eyes. Her straight black hair softly flowing on her back, her thin bangs on her forehead, her coca-cola shaped body, her reddish lips, and her fingers. Damn.

Cal's eyebrows raised as he noticed a guy approaching the lady he was just staring at. Ang bastos naman nito, kita namang pinagmamasdan ni Cal ang babae, bakit sisingit?

"El, good morning..." Nathan greeted El. The three girls stopped to acknowledge the presence of the guy.

It took a while before El was able to respond, "Uh, good morning, Nate." El replied with no interest at all.
