Aces's POV's

"I told you to meet me after school yesterday." Sabi ko with irritation sa voice ko.

She looked up to me slowly sa pagbabasa nya without any hint of guilt. "Sa akin kaba nakikipag usap?" Tanong nya with innocence sa tone nya.

"No, I'm talking to the table," sagot ko sarcastically bago ako umupo sa isa sa mga upuan, sa right side nya.

She shrugged, before continuing reading the book. "Ipagpatuloy mo ang paguusap nyo then."

I sighed. I can't believe this girl. I've never encountered any girl like her. I don't even know what to feel now.

"Look, I just wanna tel-"

"Kung gusto mong makipagusap sa akin then mag book ka ng appointment" she interrupted, still trying to read her book. "Warning ko lang, busy ako."

I shook my head. "Can you take me seriously here?"

Nilapag nya ang book nya at tumingin sa akin. "Anong impression ang binigay ko para maisip mo na hindi ako seryoso?"

"Phoebe.." I said then stop nung nakita ko yung reaction nya.

She seems surprised for some reason, her eyes involuntarily widen a bit before blinking rapidly. But then it was gone, making me think kung nakita ko talaga iyon.

"Yes?" Tanong nya ng hindi ko pinagpatuloy ang sinasabi ko.

I took a breath slowly before asking, "Can you carve some out of your time to talk to me?... please?"

Wala syang reaction, nakatingin lang sya sa akin. And darn, if I just wanna grab her shoulder to shake some sense to her. Can't she tell na hindi ako ganito usually?

"Let me think about it," Sabi nya after a full minute before going back sa pagbabasa ng libro nya.

Man, this is harder than I thought.

Kung ayaw nya then I don't have a choice. I don't want to do this but hindi nya ako binigyan ng pagpipilian.

"Do you remember what happened in our locker room two days ago?" I asked with a crooked smile. "Boys locker room."

She went still, her body naging tense. She slowly looked up to gazed at me with a glare.

"Anong gusto mo?" Tanong nya and I noticed how red she became.

"You," Sagot ko then she blinked, her face mas namula. "And your time."

Ilang minuto bago sya nagsalita. "Then talk. Sabihin mo na kung anong gusto mong sabihin."

"Not here," I said as I shook my head. "Let's meet after school-"

"Hindi ako pwede" Interrupted nya. "May pupuntahan ako."

I looked at her with seriousness para malaman kung nagsasabi sya ng totoo. She raised her eyebrow, waiting for me to say something. Seems like she's telling the truth so...

"Then let's meet at lunch-"

"Hindi rin ako pwede." I raised an eyebrow at her this time. "Kailangan kong tapusin ang isa kong project with my group mates."

"Project, huh?" Tanong ko with a smile. I suddenly remember yung time na tinanong ko yung reason nya at sabi nya may project daw sila kaya nanduon sya. "You still doing that project you were talking about?"
