"May kasama ka bang umuwi kahapon?"
I was walking towards the room when Yuna approached me. Si Dale ay nasa gilid ko na nasa cellphone lang ang atensyon.
I remained my attention infront but later on rolled my eyes on her. Tumawa siya sa'kin at sinabayan ako hanggang sa makaupo kami sa upuan.
"Ang pogi no'ng nakabangga ko kahapon! He treated me something sa kakabukas lang na restaurant and he even gave me his number!"
Umupo ako sa upuan ko bago siya tiningnan. "And you gave yours?"
Kinagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi bago inayos ang hibla ng buhok sa likod ng tainga niya.
My face ruffled while looking at her. This girl making this expression, I already knew she did gave her number to that guy.
"Pero pogi naman, kaya binigay ko," umupo siya at tumabi sa'kin bago pinakatitigan ang buhok ko.
"Wow, mas bagay sa'yo ganiyang buhok. You looked like that one k-pop idol from seventeen," she touched my hair so I spanked her hands away. "You know Jeonghan? You looked like him!"
Naiiling na tiningnan ko nalang ang babae bago itinuon ang atensyon sa blackboard at binalikan sa isip ko mga inaral ko kagabi.
I stopped from staring at the blackboard when Daxon walked in our room.
He was holding a lot of papers on his arms when he walked straight to Dale, who was silently sitting beside me.
Dale looked at him and removed the earbuds from his ears.
"We'll be having a meeting today, did you eat already?"
Dahan-dahang umiling si Dale. "I didn't."
He refused to eat earlier with us because he's full. He only drank a cup of coffee so he received a lecture from Tita.
Tumango si Daxon sa lalaking kausap bago tingnan ang suot na relo. "Can you wait? I'll buy you foods at the cafeteria."
Dale gently nod his head at him and smiled. Mabilis naman na umalis ang lalaki. Kita ko ang ngiti sa mga labi ni Dale habang itinutuon ulit ang atensyon sa cellphone.
Nakabalik ang lalaki na may dalang pagkain na naka-plastik pa. Umalis din naman kaagad ito matapos makapag paalam kay Dale.
Tinitingnan ko lang ang lalaki habang kumakain at hindi ginagambala. Saglit pa itong titingin sa'kin ngunit mabilis din na ibinabalik ang tingin sa kinakain.
"Hindi rin naman ako kumain ngayon. Pero si Dale lang ang binilhan," Yuna whispered beside me.
Nalipat ang tingin ko sa kanya. "He's not making a feeding program just for you, Yuna."
The class started. And just like what the teachers told us the other day, they only gave us an exam for the preparation for the upcoming final examination before vacation.
Mabuti nalang talaga at kahit papaano ay confident ako sa mga sagot ko kaya nangingiti ako habang naglalakad kami papuntang cafeteria.
As usual, si Dale at Daxon ang nag-order kaya naghanap kami nang mauupuan ni Yuna.
We started eating right after the two guys came with our foods.
"Oh, god! I'm so hungry!" Yuna shouted, putting the burger inside her mouth.
She then gazed at Dale before focusing on her food.
"Busog ang isa diyan dahil kakakain lang pero heto at kumakain ulit," pagpaparinig niya kay Dale.
Kinagat ko ang pang-ibabang labi para pigilan ang tawa bago tingnan si Dale na nakangisi na ngayon sa babae.
"Are you referring to me?"
