UNDER Series #1: I'm in love with your eyes

CHAPTER 6

"DRIX!" I shouted from my bathroom when I saw my face full of doodles. Ilang beses ko nang kinuskos ng micellar water pero ayaw pa ring matanggal. Kung ano-ano ang naka-drawing doon.

May naka-drawing na star, mga random number, may nakalagay pa na "Hera so pretty", but for the grace of Satan, when I looked at my forehead there was a mark of peni—

Do I look like a fucking board to him?!

"DRIX, I'M TELLING YOU KAPAG HINDI KA UMAKYAT DITO, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" sigaw ko sa phone nang sagutin n'ya ang tawag ko.

Nakakainis! Ang sakit na ng balat ko kakakuskos! Kapag ako nag-breakout dahil dito, sinasabi ko talaga. Ibabaon ko s'ya sa lupa nang buhay.

I saw him laughing so hard when he reached my room. Maiyak-iyak na nga ito kakatawa nang batuhin ko s'ya ng hair dryer ko.

"Nakatatawa 'yon?!" inis na bulyaw ko.

"O-oo," naiiyak na sabi nito na may kasabay pang paghampas sa hangin.

Siraulo ampucha.

"Bilhan mo ako ng bagong micellar water doon! Bilis!" iritang utos ko sa kaniya. Tumango lang s'ya at umalis habang tawa nang tawa.

Bumaba na rin ako sa kuwarto nang makita ko si Mama at mga katulong na naghahain ng dinner. I smiled as I approached the table, but my brows furrowed when I saw 4 plates na nakalatag sa table.

It should be just me, Mama, and Drix's plate.

"What's with the 4 plates?" takang tanong ko. She just smiled at me.

A minute after Drix arrived, my eyes widened in excitement when I saw someone who's with him.

"Cadis!" I shouted in excitement as I hugged him so tightly. "What brought you here?" nakangiting tanong ko sa kanya. He was now taller than me even though he was younger.

He was so cute, as I treated him like my younger brother. He also has a high nose bridge. Singkit naman ang mga mata nito at sobrang puti ng balat na akala mo pinaglihi sa bulak. His hair was down and messy, but it didn't affect his looks.

"I'm attending school here," nakangiting sagot n'ya sa akin na ikinakunot ng mata ko.

"School? 'Di ba sa Canada ka nag-aaral?" nagtatakang tanong ko. Even though he was one year younger than me, Cadis was already attending second year college in Canada.

"He will be attending San Jose High School," Mama muttered that made me look so confused.

San Jose High School? That is the same school that Drix and I are attending!

"Bakit?! Bakit ka babalik ng high school?" naguguluhang tanong ko kay Cadis pero ngumiti lang s'ya sa akin.

"I'm hungry, Ate. I think we should eat first before interrogating me?" nakangiti pa ring sabi n'ya. Tumango na lang ako kahit naguguluhan.

Nakatulala ako ngayon habang pinoproseso ang mga bagay. I'm now sitting on Drix's passenger seat, and we're now heading to our school. I looked at the front mirror of the car. I saw Cadis reading his book.

Napailing na lang ako nang sabihin sa akin ni Mama na papasok si Cadis sa klase ko. So, basically, Drix and his cousin Cadis would be my classmates. I was just using my phone when suddenly, his car stopped in the middle of the highway.

"Bakit?" I asked him.

Drix looked at me with an awkward look in his face. "Sorry," he said that made my eyebrows furrow.
