Status Update #10

Status: That song which goes can we just stop and talk awhile... my head is saying no but.... ugh!

"So what's your explanation?"

Nandito kami sa Jollibee ngayon. Kauupo lang namin at inaabot niya sa akin ang sundae at fries na inorder niya para sa akin.

"Agad-agad? Hindi ba pwedeng kumain muna tayo?" he said.

"Sasabihin mo na ba sa akin agad o aalis na lang ako?" ang banta ko.

"Ito naman. Masyado ka namang high blood. Sige na, I'll tell you." He took a sip from his drink before starting with his explanation. "It's true that I'm an honor student but not as consistent as you. I mean, ikaw palagi kang nasa Dean's List. Ako naman may times na hindi. It's probably because I'm really not that studious. Anyway, remember that day when we bumped into each other?" I nodded. "Napanood kita sa Miss Science and I did find you very pretty. Tapos nakabanggaan kita. Well, I got kinda intrigued by you so I asked around. It took me a few more days to find out that you just joined the Honors Society. After that, nalaman kong pwedeng magpatutor sa mga members ng HS so I took a chance. Ang plan ko lang talaga ay makakuha ng tutor para may reason ako to go to your office and probably see you. Pero ang bait ni Lord kasi ikaw pa talaga ang binigay niyang tutor ko. Sorry if you think I lied to you. That wasn't my intention. Gusto lang talaga kitang makilala. But you know everything worked out well for me kasi you helped me a lot. Dahil tinulungan mo akong magreview, I am confident that did I great in all my tests."

Does this mean he likes me?

"Camille, magsalita ka naman. Galit ka ba sa akin?"

"I don't know."

"Patay! I don't know kinda means yes."

"Eh kasi naman! Why'd you have to do that? You made me believe na kailangan mo ang tulong ko."

"I did. I really needed someone to help me review."

"O sige, kailangan mo ng taong magrereview sa 'yo. Pero bakit hindi mo agad sinabi sa akin na ganun nga."

"Because it never came up. You never asked kung anong standing ko sa class. I'm not the type rin naman to discuss things like that to other people. Ayaw kong magmukhang mayabang."

Hindi ko na alam what to think or say. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong magalit sa kanya or accept na lang the fact na valid naman ang explanation niya.

"I guess that silence means galit ka nga. I'm so sorry. Believe me, I have no intention of lying or hiding anything from you. Sorry na, Camille."

He looked at me with his pleading eyes. Nakakaawa naman ang itsura niya. Sabi nila you know the truth by the way it feels. And I can feel naman that he seems sincere. Siguro nga misunderstanding lang. There actually was no harm done. Baka mukha namang OA ako if I make a big deal out of this. Parang ang arte ko naman.

"Okay pero next time be straight out honest me. Tell me things I need to know."

He smiled in relief dahil siguro nalaman niyang hindi ako galit sa kanya. "Pero teka," he suddenly said. "How did you know that I was an honor student? Did you ask about me also?"

"Hoy ang kapal mo! May nagsabi lang sa akin. Walang rason para ipagtanong kita."

"Ouch! Ang sakit no'n ah."

Ooops! Me and my big mouth. Minsan talaga walang filter ang bibig ko eh. "Sorry. Hindi naman masama ang ibig kong sabihin dun."

"So ano bang ibig mong sabihin? Hindi ka interested sa akin? Hindi ka magkakagusto sa akin?"
