“What was that for?!” I furiously asked Kade. Despite my tomato cheeks and those weird on my stomach, I feel like I am mad?! Argh. I really don't know, I hate my heart!! It's beating so fast. How could I feel this to someone whom I just know for a while?!
“What?! What's making you so mad, woman? That was just an act. Oh... Did you assu—” Pinutol ko ang sasabihin niya kasi obvious naman na sasabihan niya akong assumera. Like? Man, I don't even like you, dzuh!
“Joker ka pala? Baka ikaw ang assuming? I just don't want someone to assume that I am dating a jerk like you. Kung hindi lang dahil ka Soleia hinding hindi kita pakikisamahan!” I said at tumalikod ng upo sa kaniya. I know he was about to answer but Soleia and Jake came with our food.
“You two are fighting again?” Jake asked pero hindi ko ito pinansin at ganon rin si Kade.
Why on earth nagkaroon ako ng kaklaseng katulad niya? I was expecting people in the law school to be someone who's serious and mature enough to not care about their environment. But, I guess I am wrong? Kasi kabaliktaran ang inaasahan ko. Well, I don't regret meeting Soleia, she's very nice. Only her friend, ang ayoko.
“Uhm... So kamusta kayo habang wala kami?” Soleia broke the silence. I just looked at her and was about to answer na “okay lang naman” syempre alam kong hihingi nanaman siya ng kapatawaran dahil ganyan ang ugali ng kaibigan niya, ayoko ng ganon. Soleia's an angel. Pero, the kid who took us pictures came back to us at hawak niya ang isang polariod picture namin ni Kade na naka akbay saakin!
Huli na para mahablot ko at hindi nila makita dahil si Jake ang naka kuha. “This one is nice, kiddo. They look good together, right?” Nabulunan ako sa sinabi ni Jake kaya dali dali namang binigay ni Soleia ang tubig niya.
I looked at her and was about to say “thank you” pero si Kade pala 'yon! Haha? An act again to make the kid think that we really are together?
“Uh.. Thanks.” I sarcastically said.
Tiningnan ko naman ang gawi ng bata at nakangiti ito. “Yes po kuya, they look good together. I am actually creating an image of their future kid in my mind. Their genes are pretty good if pinag-combined. By the way, ate and kuya I printed out two copies od the picture para tig isa kayo.” Pulang pula na naman ang mukha ko at nakangisi lang si Soleia at Jake.
“So this is what happened while we were getting our food huh?? Cute niyo.” Said Soleia. Tinignan ko naman si Kade at pinanlakihan ng mata para hindi kami asarin ni Soleia't Jake pero ngumiti lamang ang loko.
“Thanks, kiddo. We'll keep this. Hope to see you again soon, so that you can take a picture of us again.” I just plastically smiled at the kid as he waved and walked away. Nadamay pa ang bata sa lakohan niya. We could disagree and tell the kid that we are not together, I could even disagree peeo inunahan niya ako sa arte niya at napaniwala niya ang bata.
“You keep it yourself, or itapon mo. I don't want that. Napilitan lang ako because it's the kids'request.” Wika ko ng ibigay niya saakin ang isang kopya.
“Sayang 'to, pinaghirapan ng bata eh. Are you that heartless?” He answered, wow?? The audacity!!
“Says the one na binangga ako sa first day at hindi nag apologize? Napaka-kapal mo Thaddeus Kade Lopez!” Akala ko magagalit siya sa sinabi ko pero he just turned red, lalo na ang tenga nito. May nakain ba siyang mali?
“U-uh... Where's the comfort room for boys here Jake? I need to go.” Nagtataka akong tinignan siyang nag mamadali kahit hindi pa naman siya tapos kumain. May nakain ba siyang allergy siya? Nakaka-konsensya naman, inaway ko pa siya.
“Sol, did I do something wrong?” Nawala ang kaninang inis ko at napalitan ng pag-aalala. Oo, I hate him but what if he's dying?!
To my surprise, they laughed at me. What?!
“Huh?? Bakit?” I curiously asked.
“No, you mentioned something kase.” She answered making my brain ask more questions. From what I remember, inis na inis ako habang sinasabi 'yon ah?
“Mentioned what? Namumula siya pag naiinis ang babae? Kalakas lakas niyang mang-asar?” Hindi na nila nasagot ang tanong ko dahil tumayo na si Jake saying na aalis na raw kami at gusto nang umuwi ni Kade. Ano ba talaga ang nangyayari?!
Pagkarating namin sa sasakyan, katabi ko parin si Kade nasa front seat parin ako. Nasa labas pa sina Sol at nauna na ako. Kaya't tatanungin ko nalang siya what happened at mag sosorry ako, baka nadagdagan ko allergy niya.
“I want to apolo—” The usual him, he cut my words. Ayaw niya ba mag apologize ako? “I should be the one who's saying sorry. I shouldn't bring our competition inside the school sa labas. At if you are thinking I had an allergy no. It's just that... Ah!! Nevermind. That's it.” Mas lalo tuloy akong nalito sa sinabi niya!
“It's just that? What??” Teh, hindi ako makakatulog sa sinabi mo.
“Do not ever say my full name again, it's like an open button, may nabubuksan ka saakin na ayoko or like, dapat hindi. Tangina... May hindi ako naiintindihan. Oh... They're here, let's go.” Ano daw? Mas lalo lang talaga akong nagulohan sa mga sinasabi niya. At panay ang iwas ng tingin nito saakin.
What the hell??
