Connection
What makes him so special? Why is he like that? Sa halos lahat ng nakilala kong lalaki siya iyong kakaiba. Ang yabang-yabang ng aura niya.
Wag kang aalis, Rian. Don't mind him na lang.
Basa ko sa text ni Maddy. Napairap ako. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Fuck him and his smug face." I muttered before washing my face.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror, gritting my teeth.
"Gago! I was trying to be nice and friendly. I lower my pride tapos gaganunin niya ako? I greeted him politely! Tapos ano? Iiwan niya ako dun na parang tanga?! Napayabang! Makikita niya talaga. Isusum—"
"Excuse me,"
Natigil ako sa pagsasalita ng biglang may umimik. Napatingin naman ako dito.
What the heck? What is he doing here? I raised an eyebrow, scanning him from head to toe. He wasn't wearing his org shirt anymore. He had on a black tank top and pants. He still wore his glasses. Was that a tattoo? He had a tattoo on his arm?
"You're blocking my way." He stated firmly.
"What are you doing here?" Hindi ko mapigilang itanong.
"This is our personal restroom,"
Personal restroom my ass, sabi ni Aeron dito ako pumunta.
"Sabi ni Aeron dito daw ako pumun—"
"Strangers are not allowed here."
Napanganga ako. Can he just let me finish for once? He's so irritating.
"Don't you have manners? I'm still talking. Stop cutting me off," I said irritably.
He just raised an eyebrow at me. Napaka yabang!
Sino ba siya sa akala niya, huh? Hindi naman siya ganun ka gwapo!
"Move," he ordered. Ordered! He didn't even ask me to move politely.
Ang yabang talaga. Napairap ako at umisod. He went to the sink and washed his hands. Habang ako ay patay malisya na nakatingin sa kung saan. Napatingin ako sa kanya sa salamin.
Damn those biceps! I almost cursed as our eyes met in the reflection.
"Are you gonna watch me strip?" he asked. My eyes widened.
Mayabang na nga feelingero pa.
"You're not my type." I said haughtily. Ugh! I'll use a different restroom.
"You're also not my type." He said arrogantly.
I pressed my tongue on my cheek. He's staring at me with those cold and dark eyes. My eyes reflected a mix of amusement, irritation, and embarrassment. Tangina niya? Edi wag! Hindi ko naman siya pinipilit.
Iimik pa sana ako ng tumunog ang cellphone niya. May tumatawag. That's my cue to leave him there.
Busangot akong bumalik kay Maddy. Naiirita ako, ngayon lang ako na insulto buong buhay ko. Anong hindi ako type? I can pull anyone. Tapos siya sasabihin hindi ako type? Aba, gago siya!
"Why are you sulking? May nangyari ba?" Maddy asked. Kitang-kita ko ang pagtataka sa mukha niya. Napairap ako.
"Wala," Wala sa mood na sabi ko, nilabas ko yung cellphone ko.
"Sure ka? Baka gutom ka? Umorder kami, tara. Mamaya magbubukas na sila." Yaya niya
"Okay." Tanging sabi ko at nagpatangay sa kanya. Umupo ulit kami sa coach. I get my phone at binuksan ito. I should text my friends.
