Cheater

"I added you on facebook pero hindi mo ko na-accept." Zendaya approached me and said when our class for Political Science ended. "I tried to message you too but you didn't reply. You didn't seen my message too."

I almost bop my head because I forgot that we're supposed to talk last night about our case digest that we haven't started yet.

"Nako! I'm sorry, Zendaya." paghingi ko sa kaniya ng paumanhin. "I forgot about it because we had a family dinner earlier last night. I felt tired when we got home kaya nakatulog agad ako. I haven't check on my social accounts 'til now." I explained to her.

"That's okay. Nag-alala lang din ako kasi baka may nangyari sa'yo." she smiled at me. "Medyo malayo pa rin naman yung pasahan pero I hope we can get to talk tonight."

"Should I give you my number then? Para i-text mo ako kung sakaling makalimutan ko ulit mamaya." I suggested.

"Sige." sabi niya't kinuha sa bulsa ang kaniyang cellphone bago ibinigay sa akin. "Pakilagay nalang diyan."

She gave me her phone when it was already unlocked. I was startled when I saw her wallpaper.

It's Isaiah!

Isaiah's holding a mic. It's a solo shot of him without the other band members. I think it's one of the pictures posted in their official site from their European tour. His hair's done in a slight spiky way that made him look hotter. His eyes were even close here, maybe he's feeling the song while he's singing it.

I slightly shook my head and brought myself back to reality.

I started to type-in my number before I gave back her phone.

"Itext mo nalang ako para makuha ko rin ang number mo or just give me a missed call." sabi ko sa kaniya.

"Okay then. I'll text you later." she said and bid farewell before she left the room.

Napabuntong hininga naman ako't isinukbit na sa aking balikat ang bag ko.

It's normal for a girl to save his picture as her wallpaper or lockscreen because he's an artist. Hindi ko lang alam kung bakit ako bahagyang naiinis ngayon kay Zendaya. Wala naman siyang ginagawang mali. Sadyang wallpaper niya lang ang picture ni Isaiah. She's a fan of his band and he is her bias. That's all!

My bothered mood immediately shifted to an irritated mood when I saw Gael in front of my room.

He smiled when he saw me and stood up straight.

"Hey." he greeted me.

I creased my forehead, pretending that I didn't know I was the one he's calling. I even looked left and right before I shrugged my shoulders.

"Sino kayang kausap nito?..." I muttered to myself bago ko siya tinalikuran at dumiretso sa paglalakad.

"Where are you going?" he asked when he caught up.

"To my next class." simpleng sagot ko.

"It's your second break for this day. Unless you're going to sit-in to some other classes." he said.

"You checked my schedule!" hinarap ko siya't tinuro-turo pa.

"It wasn't that hard." he shrugged his shoulders. "I can easily get your schedule from the registrar's office."

Mariin kong pinikit ang aking mga mata't huminga ng malalim bago muling itinuon ang atensyon sa kaniya.

"Why do you need to know my schedule?" I asked him straight.
