Cristoff Zayn.
First day of class. So...lame.
Napakamot ako sa batok ko when I realized I'm late for my first subject. Bumangon ako and headed to the restroom.
Hinubad ko ang long sleeve that paired my pajamas.
I love long sleeved dresses or whatever.
As I pin my hands on the tiled wall, hot water drops at my back from the shower. I closed my eyes.
I wish I'll see her at the University today.
"Good Morning BOYFRIEND KO!" Aish.
"Ang ingay mo. Agang-aga eh..." I said through the phone while walking downstairs with my hair's dripping from shower.
"Hayaan mo na. Sige, I hope I'll see you later! Mwah! " And she ended the call--
"Cristoff! Want me to drive you to school?" My brother called just when I step at the marble floor of our dining room.
"Wag na. I'm not a kid anymore, okay? I'm 18 for Pete's sake! I can manage." I sat beside Mom.
"Well, you said that." Sabi nya nalang at kumain.
"Cristoff..." my ears are sparking with so much scratch like what you hear when fork and plate collides. It's breaking my eardrums. I hate hearing it.
"Mom. Please. Don't call me that name. Okay na 'ko sa once a day." Reklamo ko bago bago kumain.
"Okay. Once a day, me and your Dad just want you to know that..." There she goes again with her habits of calling names.
Nagkatinginan sila ni Dad. And...he winked.
Dyan ako nagmana eh.
With all those charms! "Kailangan naming umalis this week and...kayo munang dalawa ang magbabantay ng bahay--"
"SURE." I said directly.
"You can bring your Girlfriend here..."
"IZZY. That's my line." Mom butt in. Si kuya kasi memorize nya na ang pinagsasabi ni Mom since then. "As I was saying, you, both, can bring your girlfriends in this house. Pero..." Mom paused, looking at us intensely. We never do anything here. "Don't let her stay the night here. UNDERSTAND?"
We nod in response. Parang mga tuta eh. Haha.
"Kung gusto nyong gawin, do it in the morning---"
"ZACH!" -Mom.
Tumawa nalang kami. Dad is my fav. He's funny and... Attractive. Just the way I love him.
"But make sure you're responsible for that lady." Dad winked at us.
I like his advices. Siguro si Mom ang pinakalucky na asawa when Dad proposed.
So...great.
We just all smiled at each other.
Pagkatapos naming kumain, we went to our destinations.
Mom,Dad: Work in their companies.
Kuya Izzy: Make its way to his University. He's in his last year in college. And I, sa University rin. Magkaiba kaming school.
As I went out of my car, sinalubong ako ng girlfriend ko ng hug. Ewan.
We're in 3 months of relationship.
"Aww. 2nd Year College na tayo, Baby ko." She pouted.
"I know Chel. And please. Don't call me baby." Sabi ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya. I'm a sweet kind of Boyfriend.
Girls go crazy for it.
"I love you Izzy." She smiled after calling my name. There's nothing wrong on copying one's name, right?
I hate my name. Mom and Dad's combination? NO WAY.
Kaya for the meantime, I'm using Kuya's name.
"I love you too Chelsea." Sabi ko nalang.
We walked through the quadrangle, hallways and corridors where people's watching us.
Wait. They envy us. Bitter sila eh.
Hinatid ko sya sa room nila and went my way to our room when I heard someone shouting at my back...
"BABY IZZY!" I stopped. It's not Chelsea's voice. "Baby Izzy, tinatawag kita!
IKAW NGA! " The last words sounds so good. Just...so good.
I don't feel like I don't like it, but everything's in slow motion. My heart's racing even if I told this thing not to for the last 10 months.
And her Aura's killing me.
I don't know. I don't know when did this happen-- why is this thing happening to me whenever I saw her!
Snap it out Cristoff! May Girlfriend ka!
"Anong Baby Izzy pinagsasabi mo?" I asked her in a cool way. I think I'm shaking inside.
"Ikaw. Di ba Baby Izzy pangalan mo?..." Seriously? "Itatanong ko lang sana kung saan ang Department ng Arts and Science?"
She looks...lost.
Don't worry, the right path is in front of you. My subconscious said.
Shut up.
"Ano bang course mo? Baguhan ka? Are you a freshmen?" A future interpreter. She's a freshmen. Panu ko nalaman? You'll know soon.
"Secret. Oo. May tanong ka pa? Kasi nagmamadali ako." She glances at her silver watch. Don't go yet. "San nga ang Department..."
"Sa likod ng Cafeteria, straight left. You're welcome." I smiled.
"Salamat! The best in-law ka!" May sasabihin pa sana ako but she already ran away.
Siguro mali ang pagkakaintindi-- sa pagkakarinig nya ng pangalan ko. It's just Izzy. Not with Baby.
Tch. Chelsea.
And I think It's better she'll not know my true name.
I watched her run.
She's...childish. But still beautiful.
Oo, I have these weird feelings for her and I had it sorted.
I'm happy she's already here in school.
But this isn't the time to make her mine.
I have plans and my story just began.
FYI, THIS IS MY STORY. I hope you all know by now.

CRISTOFF. CRISTOFF. CRISTOFF ZAYN.
Now you met Zachary and Cass' son.
And Izzy? Let Cristoff explain everything to you. I know some of you aren't that slow. :D

Hands up for the stalker team!
Hands up for the sweet-boyfriend team!
And most specially, hands up for me, babies.
Don't even try to skip voting! Haha.
Comment also for me, kay? :>
XOXO,
Christine :*
