He's Loving Girl

Chapter 2

Irene Pov

Seconds before Sir Albert walks in, ibinaba ko yung hood ko, in off ko na din yung iPod ko, at nag-kunwaring nag-babasa ng libro, hindi na ako nag-abalang lingunin siya when he says, "Class this is Jasper Dwayn  Lee. He just moved here from Korea. Ok Mr. Lee, you can take that empty seat in the back, right next to Ms. Ramirez. You'll have to share her book until you get your own copy."

JD is gorgeous. I prefer to call him JD, masyado kasing mahaba ang name niya, so pinaiksi ko nalang. Any way i know this without once looking up. Nag focus nalang ako sa aking libro! He makes his way toward me, since I know way too much about my classmates already. So far as I'm concerned, an extra moment of ignorance really is bliss.

Ngunit sadyang papansin itong si Stacy, sitting just two rows before me----"Jasper Dwayn Lee is totally smoking hot." Sabi niya habang kinikilig! Tsssk landi lng teh?

Her bestfriend Suzie, completely agrees. With matching thumb ups..

"Hey." Bati niya sa akin bago siya naupo sa tabi ko! At hindi man lang niya napansin yung bag ko na nakalagay dun sa upuan nya, kaya nahulog tuloy.  I nod at him, bago pinulot ang bag ko.

"Ok class turn your book in page 133," sir Albert said

JD lean to me and say, "mind if i share?"nag-hesitate pa akong lingunin siya bago ko inilapit yung libro sa desk nya! Bigla nyang inilapit ung upuan niya sa akin, napasinghap ako nung sobrang lapit niya sa akin! Umusod ako ng kaunti sa upuan ko at medyo nagtago sa aking hoodie.

He laughs under his breath. At dahil hindi ako makatingin sa kanya! I have no idea what it means. All i know is that it sounded light and amused, but like it held something more.

I sink even lower, habang yung dalawang palad ko nasa aking mukha, at nagkukunwaring tinitignan yung orasan sa harapan, trying to ignore all the withering glances and critical comments directed my way.

"poor hot, sexy, gorgeous new guy, having to sit next to that freak! That emanates from Stacy, Suzie, Craig, and just everyone else in the room.
Well except kay Sir Albert, na gusto ng matapos ang klase, at ganun din ako..

Sana nga maagang mag-dismiss si Sir Albert. Kasi ang hirap huminga kasama tong mga matapobre kong classmate, nakakasofucate grrrrrr.!!

Cafeteria

By lunch, everyone's talking about JD.
"Nakita mo na ba yung bagong transferi? Omg! Bessty! He's so hot--so sexy--. i heard he's from Korea--- No I think it's Soul Korea--- Whatever, it's some foreign place--- I'm totally asking him to Winter Formal--- You don't even know him yet?--- Don't worry I will---

"No need Sammy he's my---

"Oh my god. Have you seen that new kid, Jasper? Umupo siya sa tabi ko habang inaayos ang kanyang bangs,at binale wala yung pag-putol sa aking sasabihin.

"Oh please, not you too." Umiling ako and bite my apple.

"You would so not be saying that if you'd been privileged enough to actually see him," she says,

"Are you guys talking about Japer? Ryan whispers, naupo siya paharap sa amin habang ipinatong yung dalawang siko nya sa lamesa, his brown eyes darting between us, his baby face curving into a grin.
"Gorgeous! I think I'll invite him to be my next boyfriend..ang landi talaga nitong baklang to..

Samantha gaze at him with narrowed brown eyes. "Too late my dear friend i called Mike."

"I'm sorry, I din't realize you were into non-goths." He said! then smirk rolling his eyes bago niya kinagat yung sandwich na inagaw niya sa akin!

"Takaw mo! Uso kasi magpa-alam! Tsssk.

"Hindi daw uso mag-paalam sa kanya besty! Tag-gutom eh  bwahahaha!" Malakas na tawa ni Samatha, dahilan para mag-silingunan lahat ng studyante samin. Minsan nagtataka na ako sa babaeng to eh! Kaliit na tao sobrang lakas ng boses!

"Ang ingay mo para kang nakalunok ng megafon," banat ni RyAn sa kanya. She shake her head, annoyed that I can join in on the fun." You haven't seen him?"and in a sudden Ryan ask me again about JD!

I gazed down at the table, wondering if i should lie. Nakakainis lang, na they're making such a big deal. Iniisip ko nga kung paano ako makakatakas sa kanilang dalawa! Pero mukhang malabo, not to them.

Samantha and Ryan are my bestfriends. My only friends. Feeling ko tuloy may tinatago akong sekreto sa kanila, " I sat next to him in English," I finaly say. "We were forced to share a book. But i din't really get a good look."

"Forced?"  Nagdududang tanong ni sammy while moves her bangs to the side! Allowing for an unobstructed view of the freak who'd dare say such a thing. "Oh that must have been awful for you, that must've really suck." Pinang-ikutan niya ako ng mata at huminga siya ng malalim, bago tinuloy ang sasabihin. "Really Irene? Bakit wala ka man lang ka-ideideya kung gano ka kaswerte. And you don't even appreciate it."

"Which book?" Ryan asks, although medyo wierd yung tiltle.

"Wuthering Heights." I shrug, inilagay ko yung apple sa gitna ng tissue at ibinalot ko ng pabilog! Habang nagtataka akong tinitignan nitong dalawang kasama ko."Sayang kasi, hindi ko na naubos kakainterogate niyo sakin."

"At yung hoodie mo? Taas or baba?"seriously? hindi ba sila titigil kakatanong about sa lalaking yun? Inalala ko yung nangyari kanina, kung paano ko tinaas yung hood ko, as he moved toward me.

"Ummm, up," sabi ko.

"Yeah, definitely up." Tumango ako. "Well thank you for that," bulong nya, breaking her vanilla cupcake in half. "The last thing i need is competition from blond goddess."

Yumuko ako at tumingin sa ilalim ng table. I get embarrassed when people say things like that. Apparently, gustong gusto ko yung buhay ko dati, but not anymore.

"Well, what about Ryan? You don't think he's competition?" I ask para mawala yung atensyon nila sa akin. At mapunta sa iba, who can truly appreciate it.

"Oo nga." Angal agad ni Ryan, while his hand run through his short brown hair and turns, gracing us with his very best side. "Don't rule it out."

"Hwag na nga nating pag-talunan," agad namang sabi ni Samantha, habang iniinom yung pine-apple juice ko.

"Jd and Ryan don't play for the same team. Ibig kong sabihin hindi siya nababagay sa team niyo. Mas bagay siya sa model-quality looks don't count."

"Paano mo naman nalaman kung saan team siya nababagay aberrr!"tanong naman ni Ryan sa kanya habang binubuksan yung takip ng VitaminWater and narrowing his gaze.  "At paano ka nakasisiguro?"

"Gaydar," saad niya, sabay tapik sa noo niya. "Mniwala ka sa akin hindi siya register."
