"What about later tonight? My place..."

The sides of my lips lifted at what he mumbled while trying to stole kisses on my neck. Natatawa kong itinulak ito at tila hinang-hina namang nadala.

"Shut up now, Rouhi, pumasok ka na. You're already minutes late for your third class." iling ko at nakitang ang pagsimangot niya.

He reached for my elbow before dipping his lips down to my neck. Pinalo ko ito ng malakas nang maramdaman ang balak niya.

"Subukan mo lang." banta ko.

His lips against my skin moved, as if smiling there.

"Madamot..." natatawang niya at bumitaw sa akin.

I shook my head and signalled him. "Go inside."

"Are you sure you don't want me to come? I can skip my class today—"

"No."

"How about later? Ayaw mo talaga—"

"Isa..." banta ko at nakita ang pagngisi niya, tatawa-tawang nagpamulsa sa akin.

"Alright, then."

My fingers went to my hair as I took my phone out nang mag vibrate ito. Nakatanggap ako ng text galing kay Eury. Muli akong bumaling kay Rouhi at itinaboy ito.

"Don't forget to get yourself something for you hangover." paalam ko at pinanood itong tumango bago umalis ng tuluyan.

Actually, I wasn't supposed to be here at school. It was just I have to reasoned out that I have class so Mom would let me go today.

Didiretso na sana ako sa may bus stop sa may school para intayin sina Ellias nang may bumungad sa akin roon.

My head lolls to my side while looking at Wess who has a glare written all over his face. Nilingon ko ang pwesto namin ni Rouhi kanina at napabuntong hininga nang matantong may posibilidad na nakita niya iyon.

"Wess..." bati ko.

It's been a week since that day I rejected him. At hindi ito ang unang beses na sumusubok siya na makausap ako after noon. Ako pa ata ang napapagod sa ginagawa niya e.

The latter stride big desperate steps towards me and vigorously clasped his hands on my arms, surprising me. Sinubukan kong kumalas rito ngunit masyadong mahigpit ang pagkakakapit niya sa akin.

"Hey—"

"Why are you with him, Sky?! Why are with that asshole?! Ganoon ba ako kadaling palitan, huh? Tangina, may bago ka na agad na nilalandi!"

"Bitawan mo—"

He pulled my arms tightly. Inilapit niya ako sa kaniya at galit akong pinakatitigan.

"So it's true, huh? You're a bitch? That you jump from one man to another once you get bored? I should've not ignored those who told me that you're just a fucking waste of time and money!"
 
He was taken aback when I roared laughter in front of his face. I swear, I was trying to hold it back while he was spewing things, but I cannot hold it anymore.

Naramdaman ko ang pangingilid ng aking luha habang hindi matigil sa pagtawa. My hands are even shaking. I felt his hands on my arms loosened that's why I was able to palmed my tummy and laughed my ass out even more.

I was just... I somehow find it hilarious, as always.

"You're funny... " sabi ko habang binabawi ang hininga saka natawa ulit. "I really like you, Wess."

He looks so dumbfounded.

"Are you fucking insane—"

"So what if I am?" I cut him off, may maliit na ngiti sa labi. "what if I'm trully a bitch? That I like jumping from one man to another once they bore me?"
