"Fuck." iritadong tinuhog ni Isaah ang halos walang bawas na steak sa kanyang plato. Kanina niya pa ito ginagawa, durog na nga ang karne pero hindi niya padin tinitigilan. Ang nobya naman na si Rose ay kanina pa siya nag aalalang pinapanood.
"May problema ba Isaah?" mahinahon na tanong ng magandang binibini. The two of them have been dating since second year of highschool. Dalawang taon at kalahati na silang nagsasama kaya sanay na si Rose tuwing bad mood ang boyfriend. Pero hindi niya padin maiwasan na malungkot dahil date nga sana nila ngayon pero pati siya ay nawalan nadin ng gana. Maya't maya ba naman ang pagmumura ng kasama, sinong sasaya don?
"Yung teacher ko. Si Ma'am Banessa." nakasimangot niyang ani, pinaglalaruan naman ngayon ang orange juice sa wine glass. Since they're both minors, they're not allowed to order any alcoholic beverages.
"Hm, and then?" Rose hummed. Handang makinig kung ano man ang irarant ng nobyo. First time lang din naman kasi nito nagkaproblema tungkol sa teachers. Because the previous ones were easily dealt with money.
"She's threatening me to get kicked out from basketball club because of my grades. Hell! Eh nagpapractice nga kami ngayon dahil may competition kami na sasalihan next month!" atungal nito.
"W-well...I already told you to take studying seriously right..?" Rose grimaced, magkaibang magkaiba sila ng nobyo. Kung siya ay isang academic achiever at straight top 1 simula elementary hanggang ngayon, ang boyfriend niya naman ay never sineryoso ang pag aaral. Sanay ito sa easy way out kahit parehas lang naman silang lumaki sa marangyang pamilya. It really shows how much their environment and parents affects them.
"You know damn well I hate studying." Isaah clicked his tongue. Ininom niya ang orange juice at aksidenteng napatingin sa dibdib ni Rose. Maliit lang ang umbok nito. And because he's a teenager boy growing up, there's a lot of naughty stuffs going on in his mind. Isa na dito ang biglang pag flash sa isipan ng malaking hinaharap ng guro. Bilog na bilog at tila puputok na ang butones ng polo sa laki. Biglang uminit ang pisngi ni Isaah, wala sa sarili niyang napahawak sa dulo ng ilong kung saan naramdaman kanina ang pagdampi ng malambot na bagay.
"Isaah. Stop staring at my..my...b-breasts!" saway ni Rose sa binatang wala sa wisyo. Her cheeks are pink from embarassment. Nabalik tanaw sa kasalukuyan si Isaah, hindi makapaniwala sa sarili na iniisip ang guro ngayong girlfriend niya ang kasama.
"S-sorry.." bulong na paumanhin ni Isaah, nakokonsensya dahil saglit niyang kinumpara ang size ng girlfriend sa teacher na sampung taon ang itinanda sa kanila. He may be a spoiled arrogant brat but his feelings toward his girlfriend is genuine. Minura niya ang sarili sa isipan.
"You know that we're still young to do it...right? Makakapaghintay ka naman when I turn eighteen diba.." Rose gently whispered, pink shades of tint decorating her soft cheeks. Natigilan si Isaah at napatulala, Rose is just too innocent and adorable.
"D..dumbass..of course.." Isaah stammered.
Ah..young love.
As an apology for making his girlfriend feel uncomfortable, and for also thinking of another girl, Isaah took his girlfriend to amusement park and bought her anything she wants. It was a sweet moment for highschool sweethearts. They were almost perfect for each other.
Not until a snake decided to step in.
