"Uhm, g-good morning," bati sa 'kin ng isang lalaki isang umaga habang papasok ako ng university namin.
"What do you need?" I asked him.
"I-I'm Julian Seto. Nice to meet you," sabi niya.
I stared at him. Judging from his uniform eh mukhang taga-High School Department siya ng unibersidad namin.
"Are you from the High School Department of this school?" tanong ko sa kanya.
He nodded.
"How old are you?" tanong ko pa.
"S-Sixteen," sagot niya.
"Grade 10?"
"Y-Yes."
"And what do you need from me?" tanong ko.
Biglang lumitaw ang isang bouquet ng bulaklak sa harap ko.
"F-For you…" namumulang sabi nung lalaki.
I frowned. "At para saan 'to?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"I-I have a crush on you…"
Silence followed his confession. I had to hold my head dahil tila biglang umikot ang paningin ko sa sinabi niya.
"You do realize of course that I'm from college?" tanong ko.
He nodded.
"And you do realize that I'm older than you?" tanong ko pa.
"O-Opo."
"Listen to me, kid. Stop this nonsense. May practice pa kami sa volleyball. I don't have much time to deal with you. You're just making me laugh," I said.
"But I like you!" sabi nung Julian.
"You are just a kid. I'm 19 years old and already in 3rd year of college. I am older than you. RBEC pa ako, K-12 ka na. Go and court one of your classmates instead," sagot ko sabay lakad.
"I'm not a kid!" sagot niya.
"You are. And of all the people, bakit ako pa ang napagtripan mo?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"I saw you in an exhibition game in our school. You're a cool player especially when you're wearing your volleyball uniform," sabi niya.
"I see it. You just want my body, don't you?" I asked him.
Julian's face reddened.
"No! I'm not like that…"
"Just leave me alone and stop bothering me. Give that flower to your classmate instead," sabi ko sabay talikod.
"I'll do anything! Just please accept this," sabi niya.
I breathed deep before I grabbed his arm. Dinala ko siya papunta sa isang bakanteng CR. Sinara ko 'yung pinto at ni-lock 'yun.
"Uhm… what are you…"
Tinulak ko siya sa dingding bago ko hinubad 'yung puting t-shirt ko. I took his hands and placed them in my chest.
"Ito 'yung gusto mo 'di ba? Do what you want now. Pero pagkatapos nito, lumayo-layo ka na sa 'kin," I said boredly.
Julian gulped as he stared to my body. Nagpapawis na rin 'yung mga kamay niya sa dibdib ko.
"How can you court someone kung wala ka ngang lakas ng loob? A handsome face is not enough, kid," I said.
Nanatili lang siyang nakatitig sa 'kin. Pulang-pula na rin ang mukha niya.
"I'll go now," sabi ko.
"I'M SORRY!" sigaw ni Julian at bigla niyang hinaplos ng mga kamay niya ang katawan ko.
