chapter 3: impressed na si isay :)

CHAPTER 3

            “Good. You get it.. Explain mo naman ang Allegory of the cave ni Plato.”, panghahamon ni Alyssa sa kanyang student. Right now, naandito siya sa study room ni David at tinutulungan siya sa subject. Yeah she agreed to tutor him. Pero syempre may bayad. Nagleave muna siya sa bakeshop na pinagtatrabahuhan dahil si david muna ang ‘employer’ niya ngayon. She can’t believe that she’s earning for only three hours what she earns when she was working at the bakeshop for four hours. Wooh.. Parang nakajackpot siya dahil hindi naman pala masyado mahirap turuan si David. He is actually pretty good. Mayabang at makulit nga lang minsan but she can handle that and at least may free snacks.

            “Plato’s allegory of the cave narrates that we humans are like prisoners in a dark cave na sa iisang direction lang makaktingin dahil sa mga tali satin. Ang nakikita lang natin ay ang shadows na gusting ipakita sa atin ng mga nagkulong sa kanila sa cave na iyon.”

            Nanatiling nakangiti si Alyssa. She likes it when David sounds smart. “and?”, she encouraged him to continue. Its obvious na naiintindihan niya ang topic. All hail Plato!

            “And.. naimpress ka na ba sa akin Isay?”, he asked.

            Yeah. Isay na rin ang tawag sa kanya ni David. Feeling friends na kasi. And hindi rin naman ito sumusunod kahit anong saway niya ditto. “Your okay.. You’ve been doing your homework. Well done.”

            “So type mo na ba ako ngayon?”, tanong ni David.

            “Woah. Kasali din ba yan sa philosophy subject? How come I have never read it?”

            “shoot.. Don’t you feel any attraction for me Isay?”, tanong nito na ang facial expression ay para bang in super pain dahil nabawasan ng 75% ang pagkalalake.

            Napangiti si Alyssa. “I cant believe we are having this conversation.”, aniya nang nailing-iling pa.

            “I can’t believe you don’t like me like me!”, ginaya pa ni david ang ‘I cant believe’ na paninimula ni Alyssa. “I mean, nabawasan na ang girls ko ngayon. Gwapo naman ako. And Diane said that you like tall guys with broad shoulders.. yung sporty ang build yet still boyish.. hindi naman ako bobo. Mayaman pa…”, David enumerated while nagpapacute. Iminumwestra pa niya ang biceps niya.

            “Wow…”, Alyssa said, pretending na bilib na bilib siya sa muscles nito. “Conceited much?”, she teased.

            “Shocked much.”, pagtatama niya. Hindi niya maipagkakailang mayabang ang dating niya but it’s okay. He can be himself around her. Same as she has been herself all the time. “Hindi ka man lang ba naapektuhan ng presence ko?”, dagdag pa niya.

            She rolled her eyeballs. “That’s what I hate about guys the most.. Conceited. Your so full of yourself David!”, she said frantically. She calmed herself down before she talked, “And besides.. I already have a boyfriend..”, she said proudly. Ang gwapo din kaya ng boyfriend niya!

            “Boohoo.. lame excuse!”, David said. “Maraming girls diyan na may boyfriend na pero naghahabol pa rin sa akin.”, he reasoned out.

            “Wow. Parang iniimpose mo pa na magtwo time na lang ako..”, she said unbelievably. “Super hangin na dito.”, she said and packed her things. Uminom muna siya ng orange juice and picked up a slice of pizza bago nagpaalam. Magana talaga siyang kumain. She thinks she has made that pretty obvious. “see you at school.”, she smiled and left him in awe. Ayaw pa rin atang maniwala ni david na malakas siya kumain and the fact na wala siyang gusto dito.
