Rhea’s POV

“You okay Rhea? You look shit right now” Tanong sa akin Chloe, sino ba namang hindi magmumukhang sabog ngayon dahil sa wet dream na iyan. Kasalanan mo ito Skye! Kakatapos lang ng first period ko at papunta na kami sa second period ko, sumabay na sa akin si Chloe dahil malapit lang yung room niya.

“Dalawang oras ba naman ang first sub namin kanina. I only have one more major class then I am good to go. Makakapagreview na rin sa wakas, so you coming to help me study?” 

“Bad timing ka Rhea, 7am to 4pm kami ngayong araw. Kaya hindi kita masasamahan na mag-review, you can ask Blair but that’ll be impossible because she never studies” 

“And yet she still pass with a 1.5 GPA” I added as we chuckled on our way to my next period. We arrived as Chloe went to her classes and I walked in the room, only 3 more hours to finish this class. I found a vacant seat and pulled out my headphones to help me focus. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder which caught my attention, please someone else please someone else and I’m fuck up, it was Skye right in front of me, can this day get any worst!?

“Okay I’m fucking screwed, nandito pa siya sa tabi ko for the whole 3 hours ng klase. Traydor ka Batman!” Tinanggal ko yung headphones para marinig ko yung sinasabi ni Skye, she asked me if she can sit beside me. My brain wants to say no but I told her that she can. Buset ka Rhea pinagagawa mo.

“I see you wore the cardigan I bought you”

“Sabi ko naman na after exam ko pa ito bibilhin kaso naunahan mo na ako, nga pala ito yung mga damit mo na pinahiram mo sa akin” Binigay ko sa kanya yung paperbag at tinanggap niya ito. I tried to avoid her because I keep on visioning her on what happened to us before and my fucking dream about her. Shocks feeling ko namumula ako ngayon dahil sa kanya.

“You okay lang? May lagnat ka ba?” Nag-aalalang mga tanong sa akin ni Skye, siya naman talaga may kasalanan, inisip ko na hindi na lang siya pansinin at binuksan mga notes ko. 

“May nagawa ba ako sayo kaya ka ganyan?” Naknam putcha nagpapababy ang maangas. Not gonna lie ang cute niya pero hindi ako papayag na mag-give in sa kanya, bawal maging marupok dito at saktong dumating na yung prof namin para magturo.

“Ah ganyanan pala tayo Rhea, sige huwag ka hihingi ng reviewer sa akin magdusa ka dyan.” The audacity talaga Skye, kalaban mo talaga yung maldita rin pero feeling ko mas maldita ang mga masc kaysa sa mga femme. While listening to the discussion a note slid on my desk and I can already tell that another admirer wants to date me but I couldn’t care less kaya hinayaan ko na lang and focus back on the lesson. 

After the lesson

“Your project for my subject is to do research about an individual’s behavior. This will be your assignment for your 2nd semester, be mindful of who you pick as a partner. It’s your choice to pick on who you will be researching, you may use this time to discuss with your partner” Sabi ng prof namin at may mga students na nag-ooffer na sa akin kung pwede ko sila maging partner.

“Rhea tara partner tayo”

“Ako na lang Rhea, I can help you” 

“Aren’t we friends Rhea? I can be the better partner for you in this project” 

Students are crowding me as I saw beside me that Skye will be working alone. I decided to be her partner kahit nagtatampuhan kami dito.

“I appreciate the offers but sadly I already have a partner, Skye and I will be doing our research together” The students were shocked at my statement, even Skye looked at me as if I was joking or not. Some left and looked for other partners but the others are in disbelief because I partnered up with Skye more than them.
