“YOUUU?!!” I said, perplexed.
Shit, napalakas ata yung pagkakasabi ko, everyone looked at me—yeah, including the bakulaw. WTH! Bakit siya nandito?! Siya ba yung bago naming blockmate?! WAHHHH! This can't be happening!!
He raised an eyebrow, then grinned and winked at me. I heard Claire and Kleeve hold their breath beside me.
“Hey babe.”
Everyone stopped what they're doing, and darted their eyes on me and him. GREAT. JUST GREAT. Now, they're whispering among each other. WOW. I HATE HIM.
*flashback “No Rane. Higgs is legit, and WE,” Claire pointed out the other girls “all agree!!” they giggled once again.
“Higgs. Higgs Tamayo” he winked. “So now that you know me, can I call you babe?”
HIGGS! ARGHHH! SIYA PALA YUNG HIGGS!!
“I thought you don't know him?” I can feel Claire nudging her elbow against me.
“AND BABE? What? Ikaw ah, uma-underground ka pala Rane ah!” I darted Kleeve my killer gaze.
The bakulaw slash manyakis walked towards me. Tanggala. Feel na feel nito yung atensyon ah. Slow-mo pa. Pinagpratisan ba nito yung paglakad niya? Ang hangin niya!! *insert inis emoticon here. SANA MATAPILOK KAAAAA!
Hindi nadinig ni Lord yung panawagan ko. ARGHHHH. Instead, he walked cooly until he's in front of me.
“Thanks for last night. That's the best I've ever had.” he then caressed my cheek.
Everyone gasped—yeah, EVERYONE HEARD WHAT HE JUST SAID. Thanks for last night? That's the best I've ever had? Tangina! Ano na lang tingin ng mga classmates ko sakin? Shit. Gumaganti ba 'to?! Malakas ba yung apak ko sa paa niya? Shit! Kahit na! Nakapaglakad pa nga siya ng pa-cool e! ARGHHH!
MY GREAT MIND, mag-isip ka ng pang-supalpal sa mukha nitong bakulaw na to!! AHHHH! Di ako makapapayag na--
That was when he lifted my chin.. and brushed his lips against mine.
I felt his soft, full lips touch mine.
My mind went blank.
His lips stayed on my lips for who-knows-how-long, until I heard sharp murmurs around us.
I opened my eyes, FUCK! MY EYES, WHY DID YOU CLOSEEE?! MGA TRAYDORRR!
Oh, he's also got his eyes closed. WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING??!
I pushed him, his eyes opened, he seemed a bit lost. I looked sharply at him.
Wala pa ring mahagilap na pang-banat ang great mind ko, freak, pumupurol na ata 'to.
So I stomped on his foot—hard. Very hard.
Everyone has fell silent. I can only hear my fast heartbeat, and can feel his gaze penetrating my insides.
“Asshole.” I hissed before turning my back on him and got my things and left the room.

What the hell just happened? I walked faster, until I realized I was already seating in one of the benches in the quadri park. Oh well, may 30 minutes pa naman before my first class. My first class. Shiz. Babalik pa ba ko sa room? I have my things with me. Pero..kaya ko na bang harapin yung hinayupak na bakulaw na manyakis na yun na siyang first kiss ko—FUCKKK! SI HIGGS ANG FIRST KISS KO!! HUHUHU! ANG SAKLAP NG TADHANA!
