It's Not Racket Science

CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER 6

When we finally entered the hall I'm speechless,  more like nervous not knowing what to do or not to do. I tryed to look around by not moving on my spot. Inside the hall there's a bar with bartenders of course, they server different kinds or beverages but without alcohol of course kasi for sure the school won't permit it and like me, I'm underage to try alcoholic drinks. Remember 17 palang ako? Pero I'm sure naman hindi lang ako ang accelerated sa batch namin, ang tindi naman nun kung ako lang. Pero may iba pa nga bang tulad ko? Hmmmn.. I also notice sa ceiling at the center of course the huge party ball and drapes flowing from the center going to the different corners ng hall plus christmas lights na hindi nag biblink, plain white christmas lights lang sya so it looks like stars sa taas tas add mo pa yung lights na nag rereflect from the party ball. Ang cool at ang ganda ng ginawa nilang ayos, nakakatuwa naman. Plus may DJ pa, dance floor at food corner na parang ang sasarap ng food kaso I never attempt to try, ayokong umalis na kinalalagyan ko. I'll just seat here sa bar.

With all the noise, I heard someone say "Hi!" I just ignore. Baka si Vanessa na naman kausap. Nakatingin lang ako sa corner kung asan yung food then suddenly someone block my view sa food -_-' "Hi!" the person in front of me said. Hmmn, I think I recognize this guy? I didn't say anything "You don't talk to much do you?" well if you realize that why just fly away and leave me alone? I turn to Vanessa ........ O______O??????? but where the hell is she????? "Haha your friend left, she's at the dance floor see?" the guy said sabay turo kung asan si Vanessa.

"WHAT THE HECK?!!" yan lang na sabi ko. Nakakainis naman tong si Vanessa! Akala ko ba di nya ko iiwan ha? Bad trip naman o!

"Finally, she talks" the guy said then smiled.

I just roll my eyes "I don't talk to strangers"

"Haha really? But we're not strangers, we go way back.." he pause and look at his wrists watch "..3 minutes" and smiled again.

"Ay sorry, di ako masyadong na kakaintindi ng inggles" sabi ko nalang para tantanan ako. Mukang englisero eh.

"Edi mag tatagalog ako" ano ba naman tong taong to. Hindi pa nya na raramdaman na tinataboy ko sya? "I'm Jake, actually nag meet na tayo before sa library, nung hiniram ko yung isang book?" ahh I see kaya pala familiar pagmumuka nya.

"So?" yun lang sinabi ko.

"So anong name mo? I know your friend,  she's Vanessa right?" the guy who told me his name was Jake said.

"Stalker ka ba? Kung gusto mong kausapin friend ko go straight to her. Hindi yung para kang creepy dyan" nakakainis naman to, kelan ba to lalayo.

"Haha hindi ako creepy lalong lalo hindi ako stalker. Kilala ang friend mo sa school. Ilang taon na syang na nanalo sa mr. & ms. University diba? At pansin ko parang super close kayo pero di kita masyadong na kikita sa school or sa mga school activities, ngayon lang"

"So?" pake ba kasi nya?

"So I'm curious" sagot nya.

"So don't be" pag tataray ko.

"So puro nalang tayo so?" I know he's trying to crack a joke kaso di mabente eh. I just ignore him and turn to the bartender.

"Can I have an iced tea please?" I ask.

"Ako din bro, salamat" pahabol nung Jake guy.

"Okay fine. Can't you see im pushing you away. I don't want to talk to you." pinarangka ko na, makulit eh.
