Brat Girl Meets Bad Boy

Chapter 7

CHAD'S POV

I don't really know what came into me, but the next day after our first 'date' I just found myself fetching her at her house. She suddenly stopped on her tracks when she saw me sitting at their couch.

"Why are you here, banana boy?" she asked as one of her brow rose up.

"I felt responsible of what happened yesterday so I'm making it up to you." And that was a lie. Hindi ko nga kasi alam kung bakit nandito ako.

Her lips curved into a grin, "You're falling for me, aren't you?"

I scoffed, "In your dreams, brat."

"Oh. Okay." she replied but the grin on her face was still there.

"Hindi nga kaya wag ka umasa dyan." kumento ko.

"Yeah, sure." she answered still grinning.

"Hindi nga kasi!" naiinis na sabi ko na.

"Oo nga! I said it was okay. Okay?" natatawang sagot nya.

"E, ba't parang ayaw mong maniwala? Hindi nga kasi!"

This time tumawa na sya, "Oo nga! Wala naman na akong sinasabi! Why so defensive?"

Inis na napakamot nalang ako sa batok ko sa sobrang frustration, "Let's just go, brat." I said to her then, I walked out. Sumunod naman ito agad sakin.

While I was driving I can't help but look at her. She has this smile on her face and.. I feel like melting. Like what happened yesterday when she smiled, I felt that the time stopped and everything vanished. Sya lang ang nakita ko. Tapos nang hinayaan ko syang manalo sa laro, tuwang tuwa ito at hindi ko maiwasang hindi mapangiti sa naging reaksyon nya.

She was not that bad as I thought she were, in fact nakakatuwa syang kasama at hindi ka mabo-boring. Hindi din sya ganun kaarte gaya ng akala ko. Maarte sya pero nasa lugar. And yes, she was nice as well.

"Stop staring at me, banana boy. Alam kong maganda ako." she said with a big smile on her face.

Hindi ko napigil ang sarili ko at napangiti ako sa kanya, "When will be the time that you'll stop being that confident?"

"Kapag hindi na ko maganda. Which, I doubt that will happen. Inborn ang kagandahan ko e." With that, natawa na talaga ako. She never fails to amaze me.

As I took a look at her again, her face was already in awe. "What?"

"You laughed." she replied in disbelief.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You laughed." ulit nya pa. "Oh my God! I made you laugh! Gosh!" at napapaypay sya sa sarili nya.

I chuckled, "What?"

"I made the freaking bad boy laugh! Oh my God! I'm so proud of myself! Wohooo!" pumapalakpak na sabi nya sa sarili nya at mas natawa pa ako. Come to think of it, palagi lang kaming nagsisisgawan pag magkasama kami at eto nga ang unang beses na natawa ako sa kanya.

It is also the very first time a girl, other than my sister and my Mom, made me laugh.

When we got into the school, mabilis akong bumaba ng kotse at pinagbuksan ko pa sya ng pinto. Nagulat sya pero hindi nya iyon pinahalata. Pagkababa nya naman ng kotse, agad kong inagaw ang bag nya at dinala iyon.

"You don't really need to do that, banana boy. I capable of carrying my things on my own." she said to me. Hindi ko sya pinansin at nagpatuloy lang ako sa lakad ko hanggang sa makarating kami sa corridor.

"Chad, give me my bag back!" she yelled that gained attention from the students pero ako, hindi ko pa din sya pinansin. "C'mon banana boy! Akin na!" sabi nya at hinarangan na ako neto sa harap ko. Agad kong itinaas ang kamay ko. Matangkad sya but too bad, mas matangkad ako. "Seriously? Ugh!" she grunted as she tried getting it from me. Nagsimula ng magbulungan ang mga estudyante pero wala naman akong pakialam sa kanila.
