EYAH'S POV

I was walking around the campus when I saw Zel rushing toward my direction. She must be late for her class. I walked slowly while waiting for her to recognize me first pero habang papalapit siya napansin kong hindi niya nga ako napapansin.

Wala talaga siyang pake sa paligid.

Tumingin ako sa paligid at ng makitang walang mga students agad kong hinawakan ang bag niya ng akmang lalagpasan niya ako.

"How dare you! Do you think–Eyah?" Her anger faced immediately soften when she realized it was me.

"Are you in a rush? Hindi mo kasi ako napansin."

"I'm sorry." She said.

I smiled at her and took a peck on her lips. She was suprised on my bold move but it somehow made her blushed.

"Someone might see us!" She hit my arms reason why I chuckled.

"Hayaan mo silang makita tayo. Mamatay sila sa inggit." I winked at her pero agad din siyang tumalikod at tumakbo.

Pero hindi nakaligtas sa mata ko kung paano siya ngumiti.

~~

"Ang busy niyo naman." Sabi ko bago umupo sa tabi ni Zel.

Nandito sila sa library at halos lahat sila may hawak na libro.

"Don't you have plans of reviewing, Zel?" Tanong ni Via dito dahil nagtitipa lang ito sa laptop niya.

Bukas na kasi ang midterms kaya todo review ang mga ito. Tatalino na nila pero todo review pa, eh. Ako kasi bobo na tapos hindi pa nagrereview.

"Zel doesn't need to review. Ilang beses ko ng nakita ang mga score niya sa exam at halos lahat perfect niya." Ako ang sumagot at ngumiti

"Oh, I see."

I sneakily held her left hand and intertwined it with mine. Tinignan naman ako nito ng masama para ipahatid na baka makita ng mga kasama namin pero pasimple akong umiling.

"Sana all matalino. Sana ako din." Sabat ni Trix

"Come to my house later. Tulungan kitang magreview." Sabi ni Nev kaya napatingin ako dito.

"Para-paraan." Tumatawang sabi ni Luna kaya sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Trix

Oh, okay?

~~

"What's that?" I asked when I saw that Zel is bringing paper bags with her.

"Cookies, chocolate, cakes, something like that."

"Sino nagbigay?"

"Rhys, Kiko, Jayson–nakalimutan ko na iba."

"Wag mong kainin iyan."

"What do you want me to do with this?"

"Bigay mo sa iba."

"Who?"

"To her." Turo ko sa babaeng dumaan na agad naman niyang binigay ang hawak niya.

"Happy? What now?" Zel asked pero mahahalata na sa mukha nito na naiinis na siya.

"Take this." Abot ko ng paper bag. "I personally cooked that for you." Para tuloy magic na biglang nagbago ang mood niya.

"Thanks! Good luck to your exams!"

~~

"What's the problem?" Tanong ko ng makapasok sa office niya. Kanina pa niya ako hindi pinapansin at hindi ko alam kung ano ang nagawa ko.

"Why aren't you talking to me?" I asked again when she stay quiet, she's not even looking at me.

"Zella." I tried to hold her but she pushed my hand away.

"Zel–"

"Leave. I don't want to talk to you."

"But I want to talk to you. Ano ba kasing kasalanan ko?" Nakaupo siya sa swivel chair niya kaya pumunta ako sa likod niaya at niyakap siya.

"Get off me!" She said while she tried to untangle my hug but then I just wrapped my arms around her tighter.

"No. Sabihin mo muna sa akin kung ano ang problema." Sabi ko pero hindi parin siya nagsalita.

"Lav."

No answer.

"What's the problem, hmm?" I asked again in my soft voice.

"You didn't reply to my texts!"

Huh? She texted me?

"Kailan? Wala naman akong nareceive na text mo." I sat in front of her and then I gave her my phone.

"Pakita nga ng tinext mo. Baka maling number lang." I took her phone that was resting on the table.

"This is not my number, Zella."

"What?! Lemme see it." She grabbed my phone and read my digits. She then burst into laughter when she saw that she typed the wrong number.

Nakalagay kasi doon 5 instead of 4.

"What are you looking at?" She asked when she noticed that I was just looking at her.

"I was just stunned. You look really pretty when you laugh."

"I know."

"Wow! You're getting more confident each day."

"You're spoiling me with compliments everyday, Ey."

"Ganda mo naman talaga kasi."

"Tss."

I was about to speak when Zel's phone buzzed. Kinuha niya iyon at tumingin muna sa akin bago binalik ang tingin sa phone niya.

"What did you send me in my email, Ey?"

My eyes widened. Muntik ko ng makalimutan na may sinend nga pala ako sa kanya na video.

"No. Don't open that! Please I'm begging you, Zel." Sinubukan kong agawin sa kanya ang phone niya pero iniwas niya iyon tsaka siya tumakbo palabas.

Napahilamos nalang ako ng mukha bago umupo sa sofa. Hindi ko alam kung kaya ko pa siyang harapin kapag napanuod niya ang video.

Damn!

I just recorded myself doing the ottoke song!

Napanuod ko lang iyon sa true beauty na ginawa ni Cha Eun Woo kaya ginaya ko at sinend sa kanya.

Argh!
