Get You | Ricci Rivero COMPLETED

My baby has been around for me

"Gosh, good luck!" pabulong na sinabi sakin ni Alexa once I enter the classroom and saw Ricci. She immediately left me na tumatawa na parang natutuwa pa siya sa mga nangyayari while me – sobrang kabaligtaran.

First time kong in-attendan 'tong class na to kasi 2 weeks na akong absent for this class. First reason is sobrang late na ako nag-enroll so di ako naka-attend agad then second reason is nagkasakit ako. If I had known na kaklase ko pala tong lalakeng nagnakaw ng halik sa akin, I might have dropped.  Joke, OA no.

Hindi ko alam irereact ko so I mustered up the courage and hinarap si Ricci ng naka-smile. Hindi ko alam kung anong itsura ko, pero natawa siya and para bang na-amaze siya dahil napaka alanganin ng face ko.

"You're taking this class pala? Bakit ngayon lang kita nakita?" Ricci greeted. I noticed na inayos nya yung gamit nya on one of the chairs para makaupo ako. Wait lang, sino may sabing gusto ko umupo sa likod? Malabo kaya mata ko!

I smiled and hesitated. "Na-late ako mag enroll eh, tapos absent talaga ako last week, I was sick." I replied and immediately removed my sight on him. Bakit ba sobrang awkward person ko? Ano ba yan! Mas bata pa yan sa'yo, Marquis. Kaya mo yan!

"Ah, well you didn't miss out on anything. Mej boring. Pero sobrang terror ng teacher and last week ka pa nya hinahanap so heads up lang." He warned while biting his lip. Ano ba, tama na pagpapacute pls!

"Thanks for the warning! Appreciate it!" I said while sitting down. Okay sige na, sa tabi mo na ako uupo basta wag mo na ako titigan ng ganyan. I feel so awkward eh, lalo na when I see your lips!

Ricci pouted. "Ok ka lang ba? Ayaw mo ba akong kausap?" He asked and I was suddenly surprised. Ka-guilty naman.

I laughed and pinalo ko yung balikat nya. Shocks, galling ko naman umarte.

"Ha? What do you mean ayaw kitang kausap?" I asked him na para bang sinabi nyang puti ang mga uwak.

"Wala lang, parang ang awkward mo lang ako kausapin. Tapos, hindi mo pa ako nirereplyan sa texts ko after Saturday. I was really worried," he explained.

"Anong hindi ni-replyan! Tinext kaya kita nung nakauwi na ako!" I fought back, partially true. Once I got home and flopped down my bed, I was surprised to see a text from him asking if nakauwi na ako. I replied a "😅" then went to sleep. Can you blame me? I was tipsy and ayokong mapuyat.

"Ok lang naman eh. If hindi mo ako vibe as a person, I get it. No need to be extra nice to me, Marquis? Or am I even allowed to call you that? Ang old school naman kasi pag Margarita." Ricci said, na parang binulong na lang nya sa sarili nya yung last part.

I almost felt sorry for him, I really do. Sobrang awkward sa kanya, plus I used him as a scheme para pagselosin ko si Mico. Wala naman siyang ginawa sa akin kung hindi puro kabutihan, plus sobrang gentleman nya pa. I was about to mutter an apology when,

"Okay, class has begun. Go to your seats."

A 50-ish lady entered our room and to be honest, hindi naman siya mukhang terror talaga unlike sa sinasabi ni Ricci. Maybe hindi lang umubra ang charming looks ni Ricci sa kanya on the first day. I looked at Ricci and he had this sad look on his face and hindi nya ako tinitignan. Hindi ko alam kung totoo ba to or ganitong mukha yung ginagamit nya sa lahat ng girls para mag mukhang cute eh.

"Prieto, Margarita Adriana? Is the lady finally present?" I hear our Prof say and I raised my hand. "I'm here!" I said.

The old lady nodded and proceeded to check her attendance. "Ms Prieto, I'm warning you ha. You were absent for 2 meetings. Do I have to remind you the policy about absences? Please don't make me drop you."  She said. My god, binabawi ko na lahat ng sinasabi ko. Medyo bitch nga siya. First day ko lang at gusto na nya ako i-drop?!
