COLD AS ICE (JAVIER SERIES #1)

CHAPTER 3-BEBE KO (Edited)

BEBE KO

'GO RAVEN" she yelled umalingaw-ngaw ang malakas niyang boses sa buong classroom, kaya'y agad na binalot ng hiya ang kanyang sistema, binalingan niya ng tingin si Raven na Nakakunot ang makakapal na kilay habang nakatingin sa kaniya, mukhang binabasa ang mga katangang naka sulat sa banner.

Naginit ang magkabila n'yang pisngi dahil sa kahihiyan, ngunit at least nabasa na ni Raven, 'ok lang yan. At least may inspirasyon na siya'  paangungumbinsi ng kanyang utak upang wag na mahiya.

Tanging siya lang talaga ang andun upang mag cheer, o mambulabog? A girl even rolled her eyes at her as she raised the banner higher.

'pake mo bahh.' lihim siyang umirap. And just as she knew it, Raven won the game, she could assume that it was because of her but knowing him, he doesn't lose a single game not even once.

Looking at Raven shaking hands with his opponent she was so excited, she was so proud of him.'shet i hu-hug talaga kita.'

Ngunit bago pa n'ya ito malapitan, mabilis nitong niligpit ang chessboard at kanyang mga gamit.

Mabilis nitong nilisan ang silid at umalis. Sadyang mabilis at malalaki ang hakbang ni Raven dahil sa taglay nitong katangkaran, di maiwasan ni Denice manliit pag ito ay naka tayo sa tabi niya, kahit sa totoo ay may taglay na katangkaran si Denice, ngunit kumpara kay Raven ay walang masabi ang height niya.

"Raven." She called him in the crowd of people, "sorry." She said nang makabanga siya, he almost disappeared from her sight for a minute, but she ran when she saw him again.

She followed him outside, expecting naman na mananalo na ang 'bebe' n'ya sa game, dahil sa anking nitong talino. Many people are intimidated by him because of that, parang mga 'sisiw' lang rito ang mga debate, mathematical equations, at ang mga bagay na feeling ni Denice ay ikakamatay niyang mga subjects at topics, minsan napapaisip ang dalaga kung paano ito kinakaya ni Raven, but she knew damn well that his intelligence is one of the hundred reasons she admire him that much.
"Raven!" Tawag niya dito, di manlang siya nilingon nito at patuloy parin sa paglalakad, halos patakbo na ang mga hakbang ni Denice ngunit tila walang naririnig ang binata at patuloy parin sa paglalakad.

"Raven huyy!" Tuluyan na siyang napahinto sa paglalakad dahil sa hingal, sa gate ng skwelahan sila nakarating kung nasaan naka parada ang isang magarang itim na kotse, tuloy lang ito sa paglalakad  hindi parin siya nito nililingon.

She watched him as he walked  out of the campus gates, and got on the black fancy car, while she was meters away catching her breath, looking at the car as it drove away, leaving her a bit sad and frustrated by what happened.

'sayang ang effort, pero ok lang next time nalang.' she sighed and turned her back going back to the campus, what's the point of this anyways, manhid si Raven, at malinaw na sa utak niya na kahit ano pang efforts ang gawin niya shempre walang patutunguhan.

But she is determined to show him and express her feelings for him. Never in her mind that she thought of giving up, she will always find a way to somehow show him that she adores him. 'Baka nahiya dahil sa ginawa ko', she pouted her lips as she walked in the school hallway. Maybe this is all too much for him, that's why he was avoiding her,

Pero wala siyang magagawa dahil talagang 'showy' si Denice pagdating sa pagmamahal, her efforts and passion for people is so strong that it doesn't matter of she was hurt sometimes, even if she doesn't receive the equal treatment and care that she give, it doesn't matter.

Even despite him always pushing her away.

Raven looked at the window as the car drove away, he could see Denice trying to catch her breath tired from chasing him.
