"Can I join you?" I ask. Looking straight into Elly's eyes and I saw how it widens.

"S-Sure." She gestured me to sit down and I chose to be beside her.

That dork guy is in our front and weld each others gaze as if weighing something.

I gave in not because I'm a coward but Elly's caught my attention

"Uhmm.. Kumain ka na ba?" Umiling ako because that was the truth. "Bakit Hindi pa?"

I just shrugged. What would I tell her? That I'm worried about her? That I wanted to see her badly? That I want to get near her?

She slid something from her bag and I saw a blue lunch box and she opened it.

"Sorry kung tira nalang iyan. Pero malinis naman iyan! Eto,kainin mo kung gusto mo."

Inabot niya sa akin iyon and I wholeheartedly accepted it.

I saw a sandwich wrapped in a paper cloth.

Not bad.

"Thanks."

I'm not used eating something that was being left. But the he'll did Elly get into me to eat those!

I bit it simply and I can't even say a single word to describe how it taste.

It fucking taste amazing and delicious!

"Who made this?" I ask as if there's no one existed here but Elly and I.

"So Manang Mabel. She made me those." She said, "masarap ba?"

I nodded. That was the honest truth.

"Ahemm.." Dwayne fake a cough.

'Papansin! Umalis ka nalang kaya!' I want to said it right through his face but I didn't. That guy was getting in my nerves!

That annoying guy look at his wrist watch and said, "We should go,Elly. Malelate na tayo."

Elly look at me as if she's hesitated to walk away or not. I nodded at her telling I'm fine.

But in my deepest thought, I would want to kill that jerk! He's really pissing me off.

Even if how much I wanted to stop her, to stay with me, to choose me with jerk, I said nothing.  After all, we're talking studies here and I don't want to meddle and stop her.

Elly smiled at me, "sige Raven, una na kami. May klase pa kasi kami eh. Yung pagbaunan ibigay mo nalang sa akin mamaya. Salamat! "

And after that,she stand and walk with Dwayne.

Suddenly,I found myself smiling at the thought.

May reason ako para makita ko siya ulit mamaya. May reason ako para makausap siya.

No matter how my day went rough, she could still be able to lighten it up without knowing she did it.

Matao ngayon dito sa hallway dahil sa paglabas at pasok ng mga estudyante sa mga klase nila. Hindi na din kami nahirapan dahil dito mismo sa building na ito ang klase namin.

Nang bumukas ang elevator sa third floor,ay lumabas na din kami.

"He likes you." That was the first thing that comes from Dwayne's mouth as we walk towards our room.
