When a Geek Fell in Love

Chapter 2: Closing Time

Ugh. Now I admit. I should’ve taken Eric’s advice na hindi na ipagpatuloy ang raid sa library.  My price is a bonggang nagging headache due to my flawed vision. But what can I do? May test pa kami tomorrow kaya kelangan talaga mag-aral. Sumasakit talaga ang ulo ko dahil hindi tama ang angles ng light na pumapasok sa mga mata ko dahil din sa BIAK kong glasses, courtesy of the three mongrels. >:(

O sige na. Pagtiyagaan L

Much to my luck eh nabasa ko na tong book na magiging reference for the morrow’s exam last month pa kaya a small refreshment ng brain will do good.

T_T aaattt dahil sa kayhirap magdecipher ng broken images na parang naglalaro ng mental jigsaw puzzle, it took me almost two and a half hours para basahin ang 33 pages coverage na supposed to be eh pang thirty minutes reading lang sakin..  Hindi pa nga sana ako tapos but (huhuhu) sad to say, a bell’s ring  called the library hours off . ggrrr…

“oops.. Closing time, Miss brainy”..

-_-

u..uminit nanaman ang mukha ko… What The heck is happening to me? I turned to see a guy leaning on a bookshelf. If not for his voice I wouldn’t recognize him.. *gasp*

Me: E-eric?

Eric: Nagbihis lang ako ng shirt, di kana sigurado kung sino ako?

Me: a-a I was just making sure.

Naka yuko ako nung mga panahong yun. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero ang IIIINNIIITTT  ng mukha ko.

Eric: Wait. Is there something wrong?

Me: h-hA? W..w-ala

Eric: Wala ka jan. Nung nangyari sayo?

I heard his footsteps approaching. I felt warm fingers on my chin. He was about to lift my face ….pero mabuti nalang mabilis ako and I shook his hand off :P

Me: d- Don’t t-touch me..

Quack! why stutter?  Why Blush? I’m nuts…

Eric: Relax. I wasn’t going to do anything but see why you’re hiding your face from me. Not like I’ll be doing anything weird.

Anak ng..

Me: I WASN’T THINKING OF YOU THINKING OF ANYTHING ABOUT DOING SOMETHING WEIRD…>:l

Eric: eh?

Oops.. masyado atang defensive.. tsk tsk tsk

Me: I-I’m j-ju..*sigh* Just don’t touch me. Why are you here anyways? And besides, someone like you talking to me is ALREADY weird.

Eric: Not talking to you is weird.. what’s So bad about talking to you?

Me: What’s NOT bad about talking to me? Hello? Bulag ka ba o tanga lang? Gusto mo ba talaga ng

public humiliation? Isang campus heartthrob hanging out with a total trashed geek a.k.a. Rheema Yzel Dallan?

Then he giggled. He GIGGLED.

Eric: So you’re troubling not about me, talking to you but me, being with you?

Me: Exactly!

Eric: Di mo dapat pinoproblema yan. I’m  the one who should worry on that, but why bother? I just

want to befriend you. May masama ba dun?

Me: Nakakafrustrate kang kau---

“ Excuse me? You can continue whatever argument you have outside. You already heard the

warning bell!IF YOU TWO ARE NOT GOING LEAVE, I’LL BE FORCED TO PULL UP CHARGES AGAINST YOU!”

O_O uh oh… we turned to see a pair of shooting-daggers glare at magkasalubong na kilay..

Lagot..  galit si ma’am librarian..

Then I froze.

 He held my hand and uttered a quick apology to the fuming librarian then literally…. DRAGGED me out of the library..  sadistaL

I was dazed and unaware that the whole time I was just staring wide-eyed on our clasped hands….

Nagising lang ako sa pagblanko ng utak ko ng tumawa siya.

Eric: Hui..  Ayaw mong bitawan huh? Edi walang bitawan!  ;)
