POV OF ACE
I'm in the middle of dreaming when I was distracted by someone who is knocking on my door.
"Miss Agustine? Are you there?" The voice is somewhat familiar to me, though I rarely heard her voice but I can still remember it.
"I'm here. Just wait for a minute." I lazily get up on my bed and rubs my eyes.
"Oh? It seems that you are already sleeping. Sorry for disturbing you." I just smiled at her when she became aware that she disturbed me.
"Anyway, I'm here to introduce your new roommate." Napalipat naman ako ng tingin sa babaeng kasama niya, she smiled shyly. She looks sweet, kind and lovely, but oh... Looks can be deceiving sometimes.
"She's Luxie Jimenez, a transferee two weeks ago, I hope you too will be good friends." Our landlady said as she point out the girl beside her. I look her from head to toe as if I can read her whole life by just doing that. She has a not-so-long hair, average height, a fair skin color, and a brown colored eyes.
"I'm Jace Agustine, welcome to our room." I said to my new roommate as I gestured to her that she may come in.
"Ikaw na bahala sa kanya Miss Agustine. Good bye." Our landlady said and let out a sweet smile. I just throw her a smile too then I close our door.
"H-hi?" My new roommate finally speak and she forced a smile. Maybe naiilang s'ya dahil sa ginawa kong pagtingin mula ulo hanggang paa kanina. I wonder if what is her first impression to me.
"Naiilang ka ba sa akin?" I confronted her. It's too obvious. She can't look directly on me and she stammered.
"I-I'm so-sorry. Nahihiya kasi ako sa'yo. Naistorbo ko pa kasi 'yung mahimbing mong tulog." She still can't look at me, she's just looking on our floor.
I laughed. "Para 'yun lang? Hindi naman ako nangangain kapag naiistorbo ako sa tulog. So no need to worry." I gave her a friendly smile to assure her that my words can be trusted.
"Aside from that, nailang ka rin sa akin dahil tiningnan kita mula ulo hanggang paa kanina. Am I right Miss Jimenez?" I ask her when I noticed na tumahimik s'ya.
"Ye-yeah, you're right. Hehe. I'm sorry." She awkwardly smile at me.
"I'm sorry too, I guess you are offended by that?" She look at me for the first time.
"A little. At saka..." Umiwas s'ya ng tingin sa akin. What's the matter? Bakit hindi n'ya ako kayang tingnan sa mukha kahit five seconds man lang?
"At saka ano?" I asked out of curiosity while raising my right brow.
"Uhmm. Ma-may muta ka pa at tuyong laway kasi." Inangat niya kaunti ang kaniyang ulo at medyo ngumiti nang nahihiya.
"Ah. Kaya pala... Wait, what did you say?" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko no'ng narealize ko 'yung sinabi n'ya. But I hope na nabingi lang ako at iba ang narinig ko.
"May muta ka pa at tuyong laway sa mukha." By confirming that, I feel that my face turned into red as tomato. Shocks! It was so disgusting! Nakakahiya! And definitely, that would explain kung bakit hindi s'ya makatingin sa akin nang matagal. Baka nandidiri s'ya sa akin.
