I playfully kissed my sketchpad then hug it tightly. Sa sobrang kilig ay gumulong-gulong pa ako sa kama ko. I am all smiles while dreamingly looking at it.
This is my lucky charm from now on!
Nagulat na lang ako nang may humampas ng unan sa round butt ko. "Ouch!" I reacted violently before but I flipped my hair and glared at the one who dared to slap round butt!
"Gaga!" She held my face and examined it. "Nakuha mo pang ngumiti? Your drafts are ruined. Nakakaloka ka," she's looking at me like I've been a living headache in her life.
Early in the morning and my friends are already in our dorm. Nakikain lang naman ng breakfast! Akala ko naman nagdala sila for me or ako ang ipinunta! Elri is so epal, dapat hindi niya na sila pinapasok. Nilayasan pa ako!
"Why so OA? Isang draft lang naman 'yon, I can remake it or make lots of it. I have digital copies too," I said full of confidence kahit hirap na hirap ako lately na mag-design. Isla looked at me and squinted her eyes, full of doubt.
"Usually dapat nag-tantrums ka na ngayon. Lumindol na at lahat-lahat, h'wag lang mahulugan ng tae ng butiki designs mo!" Inirapan ko lang siya. I decided to tell them what happened para naman maka-relate sila sa overflowing na kilig ko. I can't contain it anymore too.
The next thing I knew, nabugbog na nila ako ng palo at sabunot dahil sa sobrang kilig. Aksidente pang hinawakan ni Arci yung sketchpad ko kaya natampal ko yung kamay niya.
Her eyes widened, looking very offended. "Baka mabura yung pawis ni Amiel," humagalpak ng tawa si Isla. Pumunta lang 'to rito para kabagin.
"May pa-emote ka pang drama na mag-fo-focus? Saan? Sa amoy ni Amiel?" I just scrunched my nose, smiled and hugged my sketchpad again. I told them that Amiel changed his scent, which made him more manly.
I already memorized it.
Two days have passed but I still I can't help but to absorb the kilig. Kanina pa ako nakatingin sa sarili ko sa mirror. I want to make sure I look gorgeous... though lagi naman, I just want a look na sa'kin lang yung atensyon niya. But I can't decide what to wear!
After an hour of contemplating, I wore a burnt sienna square neck dress. It has puff sleeves up to my wrist. My hair has blond streak so it looks good even if braided. Sinuot ko rin 'yung necklace na regalo sa akin ni kuya Anzai when I turned eighteen, and a diamond heels for my feet.
"Do I look so flashy?" I asked Elri while checking out my self in our full-length mirror. She just glanced at me for two seconds before rerouting her eyes back on her laptop.
"Para kang kontrabidang magiging intruder ng isang kasal," she deadpanned.
Dedma sa basher!
Hindi ko siya pinakinggan. I know what suits me best and what fashion to use. I'd look lame if I won't use my learning from this program! Haler?
