Hindi ko alam kung paano ko siya haharapin. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sa kaniya kung saan kami magkikita at kung saan kami mag-aaral. Imagine, a nerd tutoring a queen bee. Gosh, what nonsense is that? It's so embarrassing! If people find out about it, it's going to be humiliating. I can't believe I even considered asking for his help. But then again, desperate times call for desperate measures. I'll just have to make sure no one ever finds out about this.Nakita kong naglalakad palabas ng school yung nerd. Oo nga pala, nasira yung bike niya last time. Pero, lagi naman siyang naglalakad palabas ng school. Saan niya pina-park yung bike niya?
I shooke my head at inalis sa isipan iyon. Hindi naman iyon importante sa akin. Wala akong pakialam doon. Binuksan ko ang cell phone ko para libangin ang sarili habang hinihintay si kuya Joberth. Habang nags-scroll ay biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang bagay na iyon.
I should've asked for his number.
Kumunot ang noo ko sa naisip. It's off to ask someone's number. Especially if it is a guy. I'm glad I didn't ask for his number. Pero paano ko siya maco-contact? Hindi ko naman masingit ang pagkikita namin dahil ayaw kong may makakita sa aming magkasama.
Kinagat ko ang kuko sa hintuturong daliri habang nag-iisip ng paraan. Then a realization hit me. Why am I thinking about it too much? It's not like he's someone important.
Saktong dumating si Kuya Joberth at mabilis na lumabas ng kotse para pagbuksan ako. Pumasok ako sa loob at inilapag ang bag sa tabi.
"Ma'am, pinapatawag ho kayo ni sir Sheldon" sabi niya pagkapasok.
Kumunot agad ang noo ko sa sinabi niya.
"Why? Where is he?"
Tiningnan niya ako sa reaview mirror. "Nasa bahay niyo po, Ma'am"
I stilled.
Why would Sheldon come to our house? What does he need from me? What is he doing there? What is he planning now? Various questions raced through my mind. When it comes to Sheldon, I tend to overthink things, especially if I know I might be involved in his schemes. I took a deep breath and looked outside, wondering what he was up to in our house and what he and Mommy were discussing.
Suddenly, I spotted the nerd walking by the side of the road. "Stop the car by the side," I quickly instructed the driver, who promptly complied.
I rolled down the car window and called out to him, "Hey, Nerdy!"
He immediately turned towards me, looking surprised to see me. As he approached the window of my car, my tongue seemed to recoil. Actually, I didn't know what to say to him.
"Why?" he asked. I moistened my lips before looking at him.
But when our eyes met, I looked away. Instead of speaking, I opened my bag and took out a piece of paper and a pen. I wrote down the location where we would study tomorrow. I handed it to him. He immediately took it and read it.
"Go there tomorrow after class," I said, intending to close the window when he blocked it with his hand. "What?"
He removed his hand from the window. "Uh, I need to go home first dahil kailangan ko munang pakainin ang mga kapatid ko," he said.
Oh, I didn't know he had siblings.
"Alright, just come when you're available," I said, and finally closed the window.
When I arrived home, Manang Vicky greeted me.
"Hija, mabuti at dumating ka na dahil kanina ka pa nila hinihintay" bungad niya sa akin.
