Chapter Nine: Leader ng mga Gangster
[Andi’s POV]
I didn’t know what happened. By the time I woke, I wasn’t in our classroom anymore.

Charot. HAHA. I’m alright.
“I just have to take my meds, sir.”
“Pollen? I think I need to get Mr. Payne away from you. He’s bad for your health.” He said. “Mr. Payne, it’s better if you stay in-front.”
I saw Max’s concerned face at me when it turned to a sour one when he turned to Mr. Shoke.
“Don’t show that face to me, Mr. Payne because I’m not sure if you’re playing hard to get or you’re just pretending that you hate being near me though it’s obvious that you love me, bebe!”
He looks at me and says, “Wag kang magselos kay Mr. Shokoy, ha? Saglit lang akong mawawala sa tabi mo. Wag kang titingin sa iba.” He lets out a smirk of amusement and winked. “Heto pala, tubig, uminom ka na ng gamot at nang makabalik na ako sa tabi mo.”
Kilig to the bone marrow! Yieeeeeeh! :”>
Buong classroom ata kinilig. Hush, guys. Magseselos ang babe kong si Val. Hush. Pero ang puso ko, daig pa ang isang atletang nagmamarathon sa sobrang kilig. Aatakehin ata ako nito.

Recess na! Kinikilig pa din ako. Yieeeeh! Eto namang si You-Know-Who, medyo dumadagdag rin. May cake na, may letter pa. San ka pa? Hindi gaya ni Max, na-late na nga, nagka-allergies pa ako sa flowers niya, at higit sa lahat, hindi man lang nag-sorry. Nakakainis lang.
Who’s You-Know-Who? Ask me, I don’t know. All I know is he’s sweet and still anonymous. But his short letter goes like this,
‘Dear Andi,
I’m happyfor you and Barney but I won’t stop admiring you. Hope you like this cake I baked for you.
Always yours,
You-know-who’
You-know-who? Voldemort? Yep, I’m a bit of a Potterhead! Nabasa ko na lahat ng books nito. Promise. Pero wala akong naintindihan sa binasa ko. Pero at least, binasa ko, di ba?
“Sino kaya nagbigay neto?” I asked .
“Hulaan na lang natin!” Ella suggests. “I think it’s Kuya Max.”
“Why would he?” Yeah, right, Mich. Why would he? “Besides, Paano niya mabibigay yan eh nalate nga siya kanina.”
“Malay natin, baka binake niya tas pinadala tas nakarating kay Andi tas naligo na siya kase napagod siya tas pumasok na siya sa school.” She snaps her finger. “Optimism naman, Mich.”
This is delightful. Nutella Coated Cake. This is Heaven. Kami ni Ella yung umubos kase on a diet daw si Michelle. Ang arte arte ng babaeng ‘to pagdating sa pagkain.
“If you have to choose, Sinong pipiliin mo, Ang soulmate mo? O ang lalakeng mahal mo?” Mich asks.
“Kung iisang tao lang din naman sila, hindi ko na kailangang pumili.”
