7TH BEAT: DO WE SHARE SAME APPLE OF THE EYE?

VANN,

I heard the giggling of my classmates. Maging classmate mo ba naman ang isa sa hottest guy sa batch nyo?

"oy, bhest. Kanina ka patinatawag ni maam sa harapan." Ito namang si Angela me kilig look pa sa akin. Tsk!

Pumunta na ako sa harapan. Vann, diba i told you i was born confident? Well, scratch that. Coz im nervous right now. Im trembling. I feel cold. sAme feeling ng una kaming magkakilala nung first year.

"okay, proceed." Our teacher instructed me.

"Sheryll Mei Francisco Valdez here. Just turned 15 last february. Stands 5 feet and nine inches. I play Badminton. Certified Section C."

Im about to sit when someone raised a question from the back.

"bakit lagi kang naka headphone?"

"gusto ko lang." I answer plainly.

"Are you musically inclined?"

"I am."

"so, can i assume that you can play diff'rent instruments?"

"probably."

"may boyfrind ka na?"

napakunot noo ako bigla. Whats connect boy? But i still manage to answer his question.

"None"

"Really? Pero may nagugustuhan ka na?"

what the..

Tugs-tugs!

Tugs-tugs!

Heart stop!

Ano bang mga tanong yan?

"hey miss,.." he's about to throw another question when i interrupted him.

"so much for youre assumptions mister. But thanks anyway."

"but"

"no buts. You cant impel me to answer questions that are unrequisite. Again, thank you." And i go back to my seat.

"okay ka lang?"

"not really. He"s pissing me off."

"yaan mo na. Classmate naman natin si Vash eh. Ayiieh!!"

Paglingon ko sa kinauupuan ni Vash, masaya syang nakikipag kwentuhan kay Gerald. At tulad ni Angela, kinilig na rin ako.

Nagpatuloy ang pagpapakilala. Tumayo na ang weirdong lalaki.

"hi. Im kenji himura. Just kidding. Im hotter than him." Nagtawanan ang mga classmates ko pero si Vash, he just staring to the guy blankly. "okay. Seriously, im Kenji Cruz. Turning 16 this september. And, everyone is invited." Natuwa ang mga classmates ko sa sinabi nya. Pero ako? Psh! Yabang. "I play the piano and i can sing. I have two brothers and im the youngest. I study from state and i transfer here because of someone."

Woosh!! Bakit sya tuimingin sa akin? Whats with the look?

"can i ask a question?" Natuon ang atensyon ko kay Gerald.

Tugs-tugs!

Tugs-tugs!

Bakit heart?

Ano kaya ang itatanong ni Gerald?

"sure!" Nakangiting sagot ni kenji

Pero nagulat kami nang ibato na ang tanong.

"May gusto ka ba kay Sheryll?"

What the heck???

Tugs-tugs!

Tugs-tugs!

Kaya pala naghaharumintado nanaman ang puso ko. Nagulat kaming lahat dahil si Vash ang nagtanong.
