Hearts Unmasked And Unbound

Chapter 6

It's day two. So far so good, I think?

As of now, no one is suspicious of me.

But on the downside, the exposure I'm getting by hanging out with Leo's group is certainly not a good thing.

Fuck it, I'll asked him to tour me around the school next time, so I can finally live for peace.

I'm joking.

"Tangina, anong rason 'yun?!" Leo said as moved his seat closer to mine, without getting out of it.

Here we go again with his daily yapping.

"I can't. I don't have a load, I won't be able to text you." He mimicked my voice. "Sa dami mong pwede ma rason 'yun talaga, bro?" He then burst out of laughter.

"Shut up or I'll spread to the whole school about how down bad you are for that someone?" I threatened.

He stopped laughing for a split second before laughing his ass out again. "Sige ba, buti na rin 'yun, para di na'ko mahirapan ipa alam sa kanya."

Damn. For someone na ang kapal ng mukha, what did I even expect?

Walang hiya sa katawan 'yan e.

"Hindi kaba naawa? Tangina, malapit nang umiyak si ate girl eh."

Of course I do, but what did he even expect me to do? To entertain someone while having to deal with my current situation? No thanks.

I said that to put all the embarrassment on me, hoping they'd think I was too broke to have a load. I didn't know that it wouldn't worked.

Could have handled it better. I suck at decision-making, damn, spare me!

I should have given her my number instead and tell her honestly through text that I can't entertain someone at the moment.

But that's the first thing that came to my mind, okay?

I just shrugged my shoulder and didn't respond anymore. Instead, I focused my attention to my phone.

I almost throw my phone at him when he suddenly covered it with his hand.

"You have nothing better to do than annoy the hell out of me?" Despite of the evident irritation in my voice, I still managed to say it in a low tone.

"Ay bad mood, ano nanaman ginawa ko?"

"And you still have a audacity to even asked that question?"

Tangina, if only this dude is not down bad for that someone, I would have thought he likes me. He's so papansin! God!

"Kalma, umagang umaga ang sungit sungit mo."

"Umagang umaga ang ingay mo." I countered swiftly.

He grinned. "Umagang umaga naka kunot na agad noo mo."

"Umagang umaga yet your evilness is already spreading like a wildfire."

"Umagang umaga, nag uumapaw ka gwapohan mo."

Ngumiwi ako. I took a scratch of paper from my notebook, crumple it and throw it at his face. "Leave me alone."

"Lang 'ya, parang hindi kaibigan, can you hear me out first? May proposition ako para sa'yo."

My forehead creased. Proposition? What is this idiot planning to do? "If that's just one of your kalokohan, I'll pass."

He rubbed his nape. "Medyo.."

"Then, you already know the answer."

"If you do it, I'll tour you around the campus! At diba mahilig ka mag basa?! Sasamahan kita pa library! I know where!" He said, almost pleading.
