Pretend to be His Girlfriend

Chapter 15: Rules

Chapter 15

Alexie's Point of View

''You're still in contact with him pa pala,'' Emergie said with girly voice, habang si Irish naman ay malaki ang ngisi sa akin, habang si Raikko naman ay medyo kumukunot ang noo.

''Anong meron? I can't relate to something you're talking about.'' Tanong ni Raikko.

''Wala Rai, misunderstanding lang naming tatlo iyon.''

Napasimangot naman sa akin si Emergie, and thank God he did not talked anymore, so Raikko won't ask again. It is indeed kind of uncomfortable for me to talk things with the things I'm confused as well.

Out of the blue, unfortunately, Dale approached us all while holding a white wooden pen na halos identical sa pen na ibinibigay ko lamang sa specific persons I know, at hindi ko din alam sa sarili ko kung bakit nagpasobra ako para lamang ibigay kay Dale, na matagal ko ng kilala pero ngayon ko lang nakakausap.

''Hey, good morning.'' Bati n'ya saaming apat at mabilis na nilingon ako.

Iniabot n'ya sa akin ang pen na nakahanda na n'ya ibigay sa akin. At kung hindi lamang nagpipigil ng tili at sigaw si Emergie at Irish ay malamang baka nabingi na ako kanina pa, well, obviously they'll behave like that, I know them.

It took me four seconds to take the special pen at his hand, because I hesitated to do so.

Napansin ko ang grupo nila Bea na saglit lamang kaming nilingon, or should I say kaming dalawa ni Dale ang tiningnan nila.

Napansin kong they broke the rules of the inches of the skirt, masyadong maiksi ang kanilang palda.

Speaking of the rules, may inihanda ng apala akong written rules sa pagitan naming dalawa ni Dale.

''Anyways, don't you have agenda with me?''

''Maybe after examination.'' Ani ko.

''I think we should get going now.'' Excited na saad ni Irish.

''Yes! They have some things to talk to.'' Segunda ni Emergie at hinatak na ang dalawa paalis, nakalingon naman saamin si Raikko habang hinahatak ng mga kaibigan ko paalis.

Ilang segundo ang katahimikan sa pagitan naming dalawa ni Dale, hinihintay ko s'yang magsalita, pakiramdam ko ay pinutulan ako ng dila dahil hindi ako makapagsalita.

Mabilis kong kinuha ang printed rules para iabot sakanya.

Rules need to be followed!

Rule no. 1: No kissing allowed (or anything related to it)

Rules no. 2: Don't ask for unnecessary things

Rules no.3: Don't treat me like your underling!

If you have complaints about the rules, I don't care! Just do what's written above! And if you violate this rule, our fake relationship may end.

I, ___________________ agree to the rules.

Date: _____________

______________________________

Printed name w/ signature.

Iniabot ko sakanya ang bond paper na may kasunduan naming dalawa na dahan dahan naman n'yang kinuha at tiningnan para basahin.

''Are you thinking I might kiss you, aren't you?"

Nakagat ko ang aking labi at saglit na naglihis ng tingin, sabi na nga ba at kukwestyunin n'ya iyon. Bakit ko ba kasi pinag isipan pa ng tatlong beses kung isasama ko pa iyon, dahil imposibleng mangyari iyon.

''Huwag ka mag-alala. I'll only do those things if you consent. Maaaring pinilit kita to be my fake girlfriend, but I will never violate someone.'' Mahinahong aniya.

''Why all of the sudden, you're being this nice and... uh gentlemen.'' Ngumiti lamang s'ya.

''You'll know.''

He took his ballpen on his bag to sign the paper, take a picture with it and gave the paper back. Kinuha ko iyon at pinagmasdan.

Ang ganda ng pirma n'ya, maayos ang pagkakasulat, mukhang pinag-isipang mabuti at hindi kung ano lamang ang maisipan. Ilang segundo ko yatang pinagmasdan at hinangaan ang penmanship n'ya.

''Next week na nga pala ang soccer game, sana nandu'n ka para manood.''

''Susubukan ko.''

''Okay, goodluck sa examination.'' Aniya nakangiti at dahan dahan akong tinalikuran habang nasa bulsa ng pants ang mga palad.

''Goodluck, din!'' pahabol kong sinabi bago s'ya tuluyang makaalis.

Kahit papaano ay makakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil hindi kami parehas ng assign room for the examintation. I released a sighs.

Pinakatitigan ko s'ya hanggang sa mawala sa aking paningin, at hindi ko na din namalayan ang tatlong babaeng kadarating lang.

''Ano ba ang meron sa inyo ni Dale, huh?'' masungit na bungad na tanong sa akin ni Aria, one of the mean girls of this campus together with Bea, pero sila Aria, at twin sisters Annie at Laurie, ay tila alipores lamang ni Bea.

Nasa gitna nila si Bea at naka crossed-arms, she's just looking at me as if she wants to eat me alive. I was kind of scared of what they might able to do with me. Mag isa lamang ako at sila ay apat, isa pa lamang ay hindi ko na kakayanin.

''Wala namang namamagitan sa amin ni Dale, he's just asking for some notes to review.'' Sarkastikong natawa si Aria, Laure at Annie, habang si Bea naman ay masama ang tingin sa akin mula ulo hanggang paa, as if she's judging my looks, who and what I am compared to them, to her alone.

''Ginagawa mo ba kaming tanga, ha?! Nerd! Matalino din si Dale at hindi n'ya kailangang lumapit sa'yo,'' maarteng ani Aria.

''Maybe, he's using you for something... At dahil iyon sa akin.'' Seryosong tanong ni Bea, dahilan para magtaasan ang mga balahibo ko at bahagyang mapaatras.

''Sagutin mo ang tanong, isn't she right?! What are you two up to?''

Nakagat ko ang aking labi habang nakatungo ang ulo.

''He used me to make you jealous, dahil alam n'yang hindi ka'ya ng ego mo na ipagpapalit ka lang sa isang tulad ko, a nerd and nobody. But I tried to resist because I don't want to.'' Mahinang sagot ko sa kanya, dahilan para sumibol ang ngisi sa kanyang labi.

Nagulat naman ang tatlong kaibigan ni Bea ngunit kalaunan ay biglang tumawa ng matinis at malakas. ''I cannot believe, of all people ikaw pa,''

''At kapag nagsisinungaling ka sa amin, you know you'd be dead for good.''

''Nagsasabi ako ng totoo, you can ask him about the agreement.''

Natawa ulit ang tatlo, habang si Bea ay masama pa rin ang tingin sa akin.

''He can use you all he wants, pero huwag na huwag kang aasa na magkakagusto talaga s'ya sa'yo dahil lang sa sinabi n'ya sa mall.'' She said with sarcastic tone of voice and smiles. I nodded.

"You don't looked seemed to be liked nor loved someone like Dale."
