The First and Last

Chapter 18 - I'm yours

Yancey asked me if i wanted to sit beside Claude cuz she said she's willing to switch places with me but i said no, anyway magkakaroon naman ulet ng sitting arrangement next semester. Now that me and claude are ok, "ok" means naguusap ulet kame everything just went back to normal.. my goodness, di matanggal sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Claude, parang panaginip lang ang Lahat! He said he likes me, fuck! Claude i like you too pero di ko masabi yan sa kanya. I had a slight Absent seizure nung narinig kong sinabi nya na he likes me at because of having AS di ko rin nasabi na gusto ko sya! But No Yuna! Just like Jazz said i'm still a Filipina and need ko rin magpakipot muna, if Claude truly likes me no matter how long it takes to get my "yes" magaantay sya.. oh shit assuming nanaman ako di ko nga alam kung manliligaw ba sya or just want to tell me he likes me.. Jazz suddenly poked me, i looked at her and may inabot syang piece of paper, i asked ano to? Then she pointed at Claude. I opened that piece of paper, may nakasulat..

"Let's talk later... Claude M."

Weird, what's with the letter pa kung pwede naman nya ako lapitan at sabihin sakin na maguusap kame? Wala pa namang teacher. I looked at claude kausap nya si Yancey and this time di na ako nagseselos, seconds later Claude looked at me and he smiled, "fuck!! That smile'' bigla akong nagblush i tried to hide my face but i guess it's too late he probably saw me blushing.

"Ok settle down! Good morning class?" Si teacher namin andito na tahimik na ang lahat. "Class today, we have a faculty meeting, but i will give you an activity, it's group research about Human Body, i will be giving each group topic and after the faculty meeting i'm going to get your papers and discuss what u've research in class.. So Okay let's just do a counts off up to 5 so we will be having 5 groups.. start counting"

CLASS COUNTING...

1.. 2... 3... 4... 5... 1... 2... 3............

'Sucks! Nervous system?!' I was kinda shock because of the topic, nakakabaliw kaya ang Nervous System! Discussing every parts and functions, Grade 8 pa lang kame pero pang College na ang lesson.. but ok lang ka group ko naman si Claude haha

So nagsimula na kameng gumawa ng research, habang busy kame sa pagreresearch si Claude naman kulit ng kulit panay braid nya sa buhok ko tapos guguluhin nanaman...

"Claude magfocus ka nga.. maya na ang kulit.. haha" Biglang sabi ko sa kanya.

"Ok ok.. pero i tell you madali lang sakin ang Nervous system lol" tinignan ko sya dahil sa sinabi nya.

"Oo na matalino ka na Claude McMyers" pabirong sabi ko sa kanya. "Gawin na natin to.. tinitignan na tayo ngkagrupo natin oh.." umupo na ng maayos si Claude at sinimulan na ang pagtulong sa research namin ilang oras ng dumaan biglang nagring ang bell.. "sawakas Lunch time na.." tumingin si Claude sakin after nya magstretch at sabihin un.. "yuna, Canteen tayo?" Ningitian ko lamang sya at sinenyasan sya na punta na kame ng Canteen, tinawag ko na rin si Jazz at si Yancey na nasa magkaibang grupo.

Pagkarating namin ng Canteen pumila kame agad para kumuha ng food pagdating sa Cahera biglang naglabas si Claude ng walet at nagbayad.. "manang, pati narin yung order netong isang kasama ko na matakaw babayaran ko na.."

Srsly Claude, Matakaw? Napatingin lang ako kay Claude, di ko napansin na binitbit na nya yung tray ko at dinala sa lamesa kung saan nakaupo na sina Yancey at nagaantay samin..

"Aww.. ang sweet naman.." biglang sabi ni Jazz, napasmile lang si Claude.

Matapos naming kumain ng Lunch, nauna nang umalis sina Jazz at Yancey, kame ni Claude naiwan muna sa Canteen sabi nya kasi wag muna ako umalis kasi gusto na na magusap muna kame..
