Lothaire's Point of View

Tek.... anong nangyari?

It was the Monday after our fantastic prom night, and it seems that my princess of one night is shunning me. I can't get her to talk to me.. And I see no apparent reason for her to do that...

Nakaupo ako eh. Dating pwesto. Nasa unahan pa rin siya.

Ano ka ba? Dating pwesto nga eh. Oh come on.... sinabi ko na sayo kung pano seating arrangement no...

But....

Why?

When she walked in, Mathilde did not look at me, she didn't return my greeting when I smiled and said 'Good morning.' May aurang iba? Wala naman ata....

I didn't do anything wrong, did I? I didn't step on her foot when we danced, did I?

Drat. Drat, Lothaire. Think! Why must you be so stupid?

The teacher hasn't arrived yet, so I seized that opportunity and whispered, "Mathilde!"

No answer.

"Psst! Uy! Mathilde!"

Still no answer. Not even a backward glance.

"Mathilde Talia! Hoy!"

I heard a faint sigh. Okay sige na nga.... magtigil na tayo.

It seems that I won't be able to talk to her... but... I've an idea! I can actually do something about it....Isn't she my genie for the time being? *Evil grin*

Although I'd much rather have her as my angel... *sighs*

Ha! At ang una kong hiling, magandang genie....

"Oi. May first wish na ko, genie. Naaalala mo pa? Diba natalo kita?"

She turned to face me. FINALLY.

"What is it that you want?" she demanded prissily.

Oww. Ang sungit.

"Talk to me."

"What if I don't want to?" Here, she smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter." I grinned evilly. "You have to."

"You...." she said threateningly. 

"What?"

"If you weren't my childhood friend, you'd be dead by now. It's criminal verbosity."

"MARAMING SALAMAT." I replied, laughing. 

And then she turned her back again. Ok..... implied na na makukuha ko ang gusto ko... or not. I have no idea. Ang hirap kase ispellingin ng mga babae.... wala nga palang exception dun... Syempre. At di mo na maiaalis na magtaka ang gaya kong lalaki... is she having her period today? Hmm...
