"I can't even." Pinilig ko ang ulo at sinimulang pakinggan ang kumakanta sa gym. Nilingon ko si Asheira na kumakain habang nakatingin sa katapat ng aming inuupuan. Napatingin siya sa'kin dahil siguro naramdaman niya ang aking tingin sa kanya. Kinunot niya ang noo niya at tsaka ako tinarayan. What is her problem? Is she out of her mind?
"Don't look at me like that. You're being ridiculous." I want to argue with her pero pagkakataon ang pumigil sa akin. Na s-stress ako ngayon. Napatingin sa'min ang aming President kaya nginitian niya kami. I didn't smile back. Maraming pumapasok sa utak ko to the point na hindi ako makapag focus sa mga bagay bagay.
"Are you going back to your place? Well, you will turn to a lady now. Doon ka mag de debut?" Napatingin ulit ako kay Asheira. I don't know. Kung uuwi ako doon ay marahil makikita ko doon si Aldrich. Ayaw ko pa naman muna siyang makita.
"When is your birthday ba? Imbitahin mo naman ako." Pagsusumamo niya. I just nod and turn my back to her. Nakakawalang gana. Since he broke up with me lagi na lang akong tulala.
"Hey, when is your birthday? Why so rude?" Nilingon ko siya at tsaka sinigawan.
"April 28." I turn my back to her again. I was shocked when I almost fall. Bullshit. Laking pasasalamat ko nang nasalo ako nitong lalaking naging dahilan nang pagbagsak ko. He 'tsk' then walk out. Naiwan akong tulala. Did I annoyed him? Well. It's his fault too 'cause he do not look at his way that's why I almost fall and thanks to him also.
Hindi ko na siya pinansin at dumiretso na lamang ako sa classroom namin kahit ako na lang ang tao mag-isa. Binuksan ko ang aircon at tsaka simulang magbasa. Unbreakable. Nang nandoon na ako sa part na namatay ang Ina niya at nakakakita na siya ng ghost ay nagsitindigan ang balahibo ko dahil bukod sa isa lang akong tao dito sa Room ay dagdag takot pa ang lamig na dumadaloy sa aking katawan.
I was about to run to the gym where many people are there but someone managed to open the door. Hinawakan ko ang aking dibdib at tsaka tumili. Oh, nakita ko ang gulat sa mata niya nang makita ako kaya tinarayan ko na lang siya. What is he doing here and last time I checked, he is going to the gym when I noticed his way. Tiningnan niya lang ako nang matalim bago bumuntong hininga.
"What are you doing here? Are you breaking the rules again? Well, I was searching for you anyway." Kumunot ang noo ko. Magsasalita pa sana ako but then, he insisted.
"Who are you? Can I have your ID? If you are going to ask me what's going on then I will tell you everything." Nandito pa din kami sa may pintuan kung saan nandito ako sa loob at siya naman ay nasa labas. Sumandal siya sa may pintuan and he cross his arm.
"But first, will you please close your mouth? Your saliva was about to fall again." My eyes widened. Oh, that was embarassing. Lumingon muna ako at pinunasan ang gilid ng aking labi. Shit.
"I don't care. Get out. You startled me from the very beginning, anyway. Who the hell are you?" Pagtataray ko. Ngumisi lang siya at tiningnan ko din ang half open niyang bibig. Umiling iling lang siya at pinilig ang ulo. Shit. Why is he so handsome? Is he one of the son of Zeus? Poseidon? Hades? It's like he's living in Mt. Olympus together with the Gods and Goddesses.
"'Wag nang maraming satsat. Give me your ID. I will give it to our principal. I'm the SC president here. And you don't have any rights to protest here like you always do. You're not the law here just so you know." Napairap ulit ako. Englishero ba talaga itong lalaking ito? Well, nahahawa ako.
"Bakit? Do you think you're the law? I don't care who's the law here. Are you insane? Wala akong balak mag protest dito dahil first of all, I don't even care kung kinukuha ng principal na iyan ang ID ko. Here!" Tinaggal ko ang suot kong ID at binigay sa kanya.
