ZWCS#7: Back To December

Chapter Fifteen

He was oblivious at the moment as his eyes lingers in straight vision from his stand. A woman who's back facing him, she has an elbow-length blond hair. In her velvet red pouf dress, flows just an inch above her knee. Giving him a glimpse of her creamy and skinny legs where soft muscles were developed. She moved a little, stepping her right foot backward while she's busy talking with a girl of her age, her friend maybe. With that slight move, her leg muscle flexed a bit and damn that was sexy.

She turned to face him and he was so ready to see what a sweet face she has, but he was moved by how her left brow arched in the most perfect way when their eyes matched.

No way this woman will ever look sweet. He thought.

Well that's true. She has wasn't an angelic beauty but the opposite. Her almond-shaped eyes were in chestnut brown color, it's cold and pure and treacherous. It's as if it can hide everything and you'll come seeking for it's mystery. In the center of her small heart-shaped face is her tip-tilted nose. His eyes went down on her rich ridges lips on it's natural red color, it has a pronounced philtrum making the curved of her upper lip more visible. It looks so soft, he can't help but wonder how good will it taste.

He shook his head lightly at the unusual haughty thought he has for a stranger. But he can't control his gaze from climbing back to her eyes.

"Dang," Napaawang ang kaniyang bibig nang irapan siya nito bago pumihit patalikod upang magpatianod sa babaeng kasama nito.

"Trav, nandyan ka lang pala." It was his friend, Edward. "Who're you looking at?"

Sinundan nito ang tingin na tinatahak ng kaniyang mga mata.

"Helena Chanterelle?"

"Is that her name?" Wala sa sarili niyang tanong habang nakasubaybay pa rin sa pag-imbay ng bewang kada paghakbang ng papalayong bulto.

"The one in princess braid, right? Yeah, that's Shanna."

"No, no." Binalingan niya ang kaibigan nang mawala na sa kaniyang paningin ang bulto ng babae gawa ng pag-liko sa kabilang hallway. "The other one."

"Oh, that's Gift Briana Vito." Ngumisi ito. "Why are you checking her out? Don't tell me you're attracted to her."

Kibit-balikat siyang nag-simulang mag-lakad paakyat ng hagdan upang tunguhin ang susunod nilang klase matapos ang kanilang two-hour vacant period. "Okay, I wont tell you."

"Gago!" Humalakhak ito bago umagapay sakanyang pag-akyat. "Senior high school pa lang 'yon sila, wag kang patay bata."

"It's not as if we're a decade older. We're just a year ahead." Hindi niya alam kung bakit niya pa idinipensa ang argumentong iyon, does he like her? Hindi naman.

"Kahit pa, alam mo dapat ang pinopormahan natin yung mga matured girls." Inakbayan siya nito at sabay silang pumasok sa classroom nila. "Si Letty, yung senior ng Tourism Management. Gustong gusto ka noon ah! Okay yun si Letty, sexy na maganda pa. Kumbaga, hinog na hinog na. Sila Gift, hilaw pa mga yun hayaan mong mamukadkad."

Pinili niyang wag na lamang pansinin ang sinabi nito at ipagsawalang-bahala iyon.

Gift Briana Ballesteros Vito. A fifteen year-old senior high. Snobbish and mean. Everyone in high school department feared her because of her arrogance and rudeness.

Daughter of Architect Bernardo Vito -owner of an Architectural Firm named Ballesteros-Vito Associates.

Gift topped in her English, Science and Math class. She's running for valedictorian and was never humble about it.
