Bea's POV
"Who's Jhoana?"I asked as I look at the paper I am holding. Nagbunutan kami and I got the name Jhoana. Maybe it's Jho? I don't know.
"Ako?"she asked me holding the little spoon pointing at her. I giggled. Gaahd she's just too cute.
"Yeah yeah"I just said and listen to the house rules like everyone will report to the captain, cleaning and cooking. May house keeping naman eh so we don't bother.
"Ayaw mo ba akong roommate?"tanong niya nung makalapit ako sa kaniya,lapitan daw roommates eh.
"No,I was just shocked. Ikaw pala 'yun and ang galing mo magvolleyball"sabi ko nang makaupo kami sa sofa. She smiled,a sad one and I tapped her shoulder.
"Don't be sad. You really are"
"Wag mo akong iniingles ingles at hindi ako fluent diyan"
"Why? Nasanay ako eh. Masasanay ka rin roomies tayo eh"sabi ko sa kaniya at nasapo niya ang noo niya sabay bulong ng,
"Juskopolord,patnubayan niyo po ako sa pag-iingles ng isang 'to"
"I like you"I blurted out and everyone's eyes darted on us.
"You like me?"
"You like her?"
"You like Jho?"
"Like as in like like or like as in like like what like?"this sounded like the girl who pinched my nose and she's holding Jia's hand. They're really into something.
"No. I mean I like her,she's so cute whenever she does her thing"I said nonchalantly and Ponggay break the ice.
"Wew! Let's get back to work"

"Hey,Jho. Why are you so quiet? Ayaw mo ba akong roommate?"I asked,kanina pa kasi kami dito sa room katatapos lang namin mag-ayos tapos di man lang ako kinikibo."If it's about kanina, I'm sorry"
"No. Ayos lang eh kasi hindi ako....uhmm..hindi kasi ako sanay sa'yo?"nagtatanong na sagot niya and I just smiled. Everyone is.
"Okay lang. Si Ponggay na lang ulit roommate ko,sasabihin ko lang kila ate Ly"I was about to go out when she pulled me and smiled,a guilty one.
"Hindi. Hindi. Ayos lang,sorry ah tsaka pwede bang pagdikitin natin yung bed?"
"Why?"
"Ehhh,takot ako eh"sabi niya tapos hinug niya yung arm ko. This girl is really cute.
"I thought I'm younger than you"I said laughing at itinulak namin yung bed niya papunta sa akin. Sa may wall kasi yung akin eh kasi I like staring at the wall. Nakakapag-isip isip ako.
"Ouch"sabi niya,agad naman akong natauhan tapos nakita ko hawak niya daliri niya sa paa. Hala,naipit ata.
"Sorry. Sorry"agad akong lumapit sa kaniya at binuhat siya paupo sa kama tapos nagulat na lang ako nang bigla siyang tumawa.
"Joke"she said and peace sign,"ang seryoso mo masyado. Okay ka lang ba?"
Umiling lang ako at pinaglaruan ang mga daliri ko sa kamay,nakayuko.
"I have failing grades"I said and she sat beside me leaning her head on my shoulder. I'm taller than her.
"Grade conscious ka pala"she said and held my hand tapos pinaglaruan niya din,"grades doesn't define you,Bea"
"Yes,I know. I know but hindi lang ako makarecover kasi nakakainis yung Prof. He barely even go to class and he gave us failed grades. Hell"hindi ko na kinaya frustration ko kaya nahigpitan ko kapit ko sa kaniya tapos nakurot niya braso ko,"Sorry"
