Trust Issues
I look at Yel confused. It's almost time for lunch and she haven't yet finished her hair-do and make-ups not to mention Liam at the back staring at her over heels in love. Ugh, I think I'm about to go out now like right now.
They are just sooo sweet!
"Hey girl I can hear your thoughts." Napakamot ako sa ulo, of course she'll know it.
"And your energy is so confusing, man you got lot of thoughts in your lil head right now?" Asked by Liam.
I sigh, "Wala lang ako sa mood ngayon."
"Talaga lang, ha? Baka naman nabitin ka sa moment n'yo ni Flame kahapon. Girl, sinasabi ko iba ang tama sa'yo ni Flame Widerick."
Napa-irap ako s kaniyang sinabi. "Yel, I know his history in women and I won't fall for it. Period."
Liam whistle. "Hope you won't fall. Good luck for that, Shereene."
The bell rings and I excused myself. Hindi ko na kayang maging martyr sa harapan nilang dalawa. Hindi naman sa gusto ko nang ganoon pero minsan hindi mo maiiwasang huwag gustuhin. Dire-diretso lamang ang lakad ko patungong cafeteria nang walang tinitingnan kundi ang dalawang pares nang aking sapatos.
"I wish I'm your shoes now."
Not in here, damn.
Dahan-dahan akong tumingin sa counter kung saan nakahanda na ang lunch ko.
"Bakit ka nandito?" I whisper.
"At bakit ka bumubulong?" He lean forward as he whisper.
His voice send me chills in unknown reason.
"I don't want the kids misunderstood us." I replied.
"You think they're not creating misunderstanding right now?" His eyes are fixed into the crowd. Napatingin din ako doon at para yata akong matutunaw sa mga titig at ngiti nang mga madla. Nahihiya akong humarap sa kaniya. I let out a breathe and take my tray. Mabuti na lamang at doon pa siya nakatingin kaya naman madali lang sa aking makalabas sa cafeteria habang bitbit ang tray na hawak patungo sa gazebo kung saan wala masyadong estudyante.
"Finally, silence." I breath.
Inilapag ko ang aking lunch at nagsimulang kumain. The shining and radiant heat of the sun flash into my skin as I feel the warm embrace of gentle wind. Napapikit ako at dinama iyon.
"Now the sun is making me jealous."
"Holy mother of heaven!" Sa gulat ko ay nabitawan ko ang hawak na tupperware kung saan may lamang vegetables salad. Para namang nag-slow motion iyon nang tumama sa sahig.
"What the hell, Flame!" I blurted.
"Baby, I'm already flaming."
Napatingin ako sa kaniya, magkasalubong ang kilay at walang ngiti sa labi o anumang ekspresyon.
"Why are you bothering me?"
Sumandal siya sa gazebo at diretsong nakatingin din sa akin ang mga mata niya.
"Because I feel great doing that?" Hindi sigurado nitong sagot.
"Well, it's not fine with me Flame, hindi ka puwedeng sumulpot lang kung saan-saan. Can't you see I want my life peaceful here?"
"And then why did you bring chaos in me, hmm? I need justice for that, Zenger."
I scoffs, "You and your words, I won't give you justice because I didn't do anything!"
