CHAPTER 0017

Andie's POV

After he corrected the Director, everybody went silent.

Bakit kailangan pa niyang gawin yun!? Mas ginalit lang niya si Direk sa sinabi niya! Kahit palagi akong binabara ni Direk, I never once tried or even thought of correcting the director! But him.. what was he thinking!? Is this part of his escaping strategy!?

"What the hell is your problem, you da** punk!?"

"You."

"What!?"

"You are my problem."

"How could I be your problem!? How!!!??"

"I told you, I don't like how you scream at her."

"I've had enough! Sino ka para pangunahan ako!? Appearing here in a hoodie with a crazy sentence printed on your shirt!"

"Cra..crazy sentence?"

"I AM MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU THINK I AM. I AM CAPABLE OF DOING THINGS THAT CAN NOT EVEN BE POSSIBLE IN YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATION." He laughed. "So ano to? Sinong niloko mo? San mo yan napulot huh?! You look stupid! Who are you Superman?!"

"No. Don't be stupid to compare me to him."

"S..stupid!? Sinong stupid!? Kung hindi ka si Superman, sino ka!? What is the difference between you and him!?"

"He is fictional, I am real."

"Ang batok ko.. ang batok ko! Papatayin mo akong bata ka!" He said while tapping the back of his head. Okay, I don't really like the Director, but it wouldn't make me happier if he'd give the Director a stroke! "Do you really have the answer to all my questions!? Can't you zip your mouth?!"

"That is why I was given a mouth, to talk. So, I can't fulfill your wish."

"You can't fulfill my wish!? Bakit, anong gusto mong gawin ko para tumahimik ka na at umalis!?"

"Apologize."

"What?"

What!? Apologize!?

"Apologize to her."

"I am not asking for anything like that." I said. Bakit kailangan niya pang sabihin yun. Now I feel uncomfortable. "There's no need for that."

"Few hours from now I will be turning 23, and in my almost 23 years of existence, I've never been humiliated. No one ever dared to yell at me the way you did." He said to Director. Wait.. what's with the "almost" word? Can't he just say 23 to lessen his burden? God, I knew he was a potato all along.

"Ganun pala eh, ikaw ang sinigawan ko, so bakit sa kanya ako hihingi ng tawad?! At kahit na napahiya ka wala akong pakialam, sino ka ba sa inaakala mo!?"

"Kaya kong tanggapin ang pagpapahiya mo sa akin, pero ang ginawa mo sa kanya is something I can never forgive. I've never asked anyone to apologize for another person, except for this time. So I am telling you.. Apologize to her. She deserves an apology."

I am moved. I hate this kind of scenes. I hate it when boys say the same compliments at me. I hate it when they treat me like this.. And I hate myself for being moved because he is the one saying it.

"Robert! What are you still doing here!? I told you to drag him out of here!" He called Robert again. God, he's angry! He's really really angry! The entire time, nakikinig lang ako sa sinasabi nila, hindi ako makapagsalita. BTW, the print in his shirt, I think it's cool. Or is it just me.. again?
