Destiny's Game

2 : Sudden Ligaw

Destiny's Game 2

Break Time...

Nasaan na ba yung cafeteria? I literally wondered almost whole the school but no cafeteria was found. Grabeng paaralan naman 'to, masyadong malawak.

Palinga linga ako sa paligid hoping to see the cafeteria ng biglang may nabangga ako.

"Oh my, sorry. Sorry." Paumanhin ko sabay pulot sa nahulog niyang silver chanel sling bag. Wow, yaman!

"No, it's okay. It's partly my fault." Ani ng nabangga ko. Tiningnan ko siya upang ngitian... hummm, maganda naman siya in fairness.

She has those silky white skin and a nice sexy body. Chinky eyes, pointed nose and reddish lips. Kung mag a-apply siya bilang artista, tiyak walang pag-aaalinlangang makukuha siya.

"Sorry parin." I gave her bag and smiled, she smiled back and gladly retrieved her bag.

"Mukhang bagong mukha ka ah, are you perhaps a transferee?"

"Ah, oo." I answered awkwardly. Her presence makes me intimidated.

"Oh." Tumango tango siya. "Anyway, wouldn't you mind if I introduce myself?" Umiling ako. She extended her hand. "My name's Abigail Mae Mendoza, and you are...?"

"Ah Monique Ice Alleah delos Santos." I took her hand and shook it. "Nice meeting you Abigail."

"Wow, that was a long name." She chuckled.

"Everyone calls me Mia."

"So... Mia, also call me Abby. I wouldn't mind being friends with you. You look nice." Na fluter naman daw ako sa sinabi niya. I look nice daw.

"Thanks."

"Bie!"

Sabay kaming napalingon ni Abby sa tumawag.

"Hi bie! Kanina pa kita hinahanap. Where have you been?"

"Sorry bie, dinaluhan ko lang yung meeting namin kanina sa basketball." At inakbayan pa nito si Abby. My eyes glued to their arms wrapping at each other's body.

"Ah Mia, by the way this is Zake Adriel Monteverde... my boyfriend."

Boyfriend...? So totoo talagang taken na si Mr. Gwapo. I can't help to pout at my thought. Off limits na talaga siya.

"Hi! I'm Mia."

"My seat mate. Yes I know you of course." Nakangiti niyang ani.

"You're seat mates? So, mas matanda ka pala ng isang taon sa akin Mia. Should I call you ate na?" Abby chuckled.

"Kung anong gusto mo." Kibit balikat kong sabi. Hindi naman big deal sa akin yun. Pero minsan kasi, yung iba napagkakamalan akong elementary, Baby face kasi eh *giggles*.

"So, since you two made friends... won't you mind if we go to cafeteria now? Nagwawala na ang mga bulate ko sa tiyan eh." Zake chuckles at humiwalay sa pagkakaakbay kay Abby.

"Mine too." Abby seconded.

"Me three!" Since they said we made friends... sasama na ako sa kanila. Mahirap maging loner ano.

-

"Woah Mia, are you sure you can eat all of that?" Abby pointed at my plate who's literally filled with so many foods. Ngumisi ako.

"This is how I eat."

"Buti naman hindi ka tumataba." Napatingin ako kay Zake.

"Lahi na namin ang sexy." I joked. The two laughed. But their laughter subsided when Zake's phone rang.

"Excuse me?" Aniya. "Yes?... nandito kami sa cafeteria. Where are you?"

"Behind you. Hindi mo man lang sinabi na may chicks kayong kasama ngayon."

Napalingon si Zake, he playfully punched the guy behind him. Nakangiti naman itong umupo sa tabi ko.

"Hey miss, ngayon ko lang nakita ang maganda mong mukha ah, transferee ka?" Bahagya kong linayo ang aking mukha dahil linalapit niya ang kaniyang mukha sa akin.

I admit gwapo siya... as in gwapo rin kagaya ni Zake pero medyo naaasiwa ako. Like duh, hindi ko nga siya kilala tapos ganyan na siya kalapit.

"Ah-uh, o-oo." I smiled awkwardly.

"Flare Icze Wilhelm at your service. May I know your name miss?" He smiled playfully at mas lalo pang nilapit ang mukha.

Uh.

"Monique Ice Alleah delos Santos." Tipid kong pakilala. Na-awkward-an ako sa posisiyon namin. What would the other students think at us?

"Hey bie, don't you think they are sweet?" Rinig kong bulong ni Abby kay Zake.

"I don't think so."

"Your name's quite long... simple Monique would be better right?" Uh... okay? Napatitig ako sa mukha niya. Okay, he's handsome.

Cute eyes, perfect nose, pinkish lips and well defined jaw... parang inosenteng nilalang ang nasa harapan ko.

"Uh... k-kung iyan ang gusto mo." Napatingin ako kina Abby. She's giggling like a child, baliktad naman ito ni Zake. He's just staring at us blankly.

"Ang cute niyo talaga. You're both cute."

"Flare's not cute." Bara ni Zake.

"Yeah, I'm not cute cause I'm incredibly handsome."

I'd like to say 'mahangin' pero may katotoohanan naman ang sinasabi niya so pinigilan ko na lang ang nasa dila ko.

They continued talking as I continue eating. Ang sarap kaya ng pagkain nila dito, no wonder mahal ang tuition fee.

"Monique, may boyfriend ka na ba?" I choked at Flare's sudden question.

"Huh?"

"Do you have a boyfriend? Kasi I'm planning to court you. Is it okay?"

Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. What the hell? Wala pa ngang thirty minutes na magkakilala kami ligaw agad ang nasa isip niya?

No wonder he's a playboy. Kanina ko pa ngang naaamoy ito eh. His face says otherwise his personality. Ugh! Pero ang gwapo niya uh... should I say yes?
