Natalie's Point of View

He gasped in disbelief "What? We do? Papaanong nangyari 'yun?" he asked. Sasagot na sana ako kaso kinalbit ako ni Ash kaya napalingon ako sa kanya.

"Nat, una na ako ciao!" tapos nagbeso-beso kami and I said goodbye too.

Humarap ulit ako sa kanya tapos ngumiti ako, ngiting pangasar "Eh kasi sinabi ko kay prof. na it's unfair kasi dapat nga ikaw 'yung mas makahabol kasi you just transferred here." I said then I winked at him. I knew that he'll get pissed kapag dinamay ko siya sa project ko. Yes this project was supposed to be my project, hindi dapat siya kasali. I am failing in that class kasi lagi ako nags-skip so I need to caught up kasi malapit na ang finals namin, eh graduating pa naman ako. Eh malas ni tukmol nakita ko siya sa tabi ko kanina na tulog and that is how I came up with a brialliant idea. Since he's always pissing the fck out me, might as well piss the fck out of him too. Buti na lang sumangayon si Mr. Robles, at first kasi he was hesitant kasi daw bagong pa lang daw pasok si tukmol edi syempre pinilit ko siya. Sinabi ko na eh ano naman kung bagong pasok siya, for sure naman kasi napag-aralan na niya 'yung mga lesson na namissed niya dito kaya ayun sumangayon din siya sa akin sa huli.

"Ano ba naman 'yan! Anak naman ng tinamaan oh! Imbis na wala akong gawain eh!" he shouted. Piit na piit naman ang tawa ko, if you guys could just see him. Para siyang batang napagalitan dahil sa pagkakagusamot ng mukha niya.

Tumikhim muna ako "Hoy kung makasigaw ka naman dyan, you have no rights to get pissed! Eh kung tutuusin nga I just did you favor pa nga eh!"

Inis na sinuklay niya ang buhok niya gamit ang kamay niya "You did me a favor? 'Asaan? Nasaan ang favor dyan!" inis niyang sigaw.

I crossed my arms "Pasalamat ka nga I lessen your exams! Hindi mo na kailangan i-take lahat ng exams."

Sa sinabi ko ay nawala ang pagkakasimangot niya "Talaga? So you mean I don't have to take final exams?" he said with a half-smile on his face.

I shook my head "Of course not, you need to take final exams pa din. Final nga 'di ba? Means 'yon ang may pinakamataas na percentage sa lahat at halos 'dun iba-base ang final grade natin duh. Isip-isip din 'pag may time!" ano naman siya sinuswerte? Lahat kami nagpapakahirap sa exam tapos siya chill chill lang, batukan ko siya eh.

He frowned "Duh" he mimicked me "Sabi mo kasi you lessen my exam! Akala ko naman final exam na 'yun."

"What I mean is you'll take final exam but it's like you don't have to write little quizzes you know? That's like a good deal!" enthusiasm is evident in my voice. I was really trying to piss him kaya sinisiglahan ko talaga ang boses ko. Ha! Taste your own medicine.

"I'd rather write quizzes than doing a project with you." he said then walked out. Aba choosy ang lolo mo, and look at that moron he freaking walked out on me but whatever ang mahalaga nagtagumpay ako! He was pissed, big time! I guess I deserve a tap on my back hahaha.

Sinundan ko siya "Hoy kuya! Where are you going?!" sigaw ko. Lingon naman 'yung ibang tao. Duh hindi sila ang tinatawag ko 'wag silang piling. Tinaasan ko lang sila ng kilay at inirapan. "Hoy!" sigaw ko ulit.

Lumingon siya na nakasimangot pa din "Ano?!" irita niyang sabi.

Nginitian ko siya "Saan ang punta mo?"

"Saan pa ba edi sa library." wait inisnaban ba niya ako? Shet! That is so gay!

"Pffftt.." shit I can't even haha. I composed myself "Bakit ka pupunta sa library, hindi pala tayo gagawa ng paper works."

Sa sinabi ko ay napatigil siya sa paglalakad at lumingon sa akin "What kind of project are we doing then?" taka niyang tanong.

I pursed my lips "Well, we are doing a presentation, like we have to interview business management people about that topic and we have to film it. Then at the end of the video nandoon tayo, we are going to summarize all of what we researched." I mentally laughed, I am really happy seeing him get pissed. Kasi kung kanina nakasimangot lang siya ngayon ay sobrang simangot na talaga niya haha. Ang sabi ni Mr. Robles kahit simpleng presentation lang daw like on powerpoint basta it contain lots of information about that topic ay okay na, but he also said that we can also be creative. Knowing boys they hate camera and I knew Nathan will get pissed kapag ganoon ang gagawin namin.
