Spectacular

Chapter 2

Nakatitig ako sa teacher sa harapan at nakikinig ng mabuti sa kanya. I got a good sleep last night so I was able to listen intently and understand clearly the discussion.

I nodded, asked questions, smiled, and repeat. It's an interesting topic, and I'm happy I got distracted from my thoughts even for an hour or two.

Break time, reccess. Food time.

The best subject in school. My bestfriend, Llana, also think so.

She was telling something about the book she recently read but before I utter my reply of excitement (because I already read to book she's referring)..

I saw him.

Saw him joking around to his set of guy (and girls, of course) friends while wearing his friendly smile. He said something that made his friends laugh..

"Are you listening?" I heard Llana said when he's out of my sight.

"Sorry, what was that?" But she is already wearing her "bitch, what?" face.

"No, what was that? Alam kong natutulala ka lagi pero alam kong may nakita ka," diretso niyang sabi.

"Wala lang.. naisip ko lang yung quiz mamaya.." sabay lakad uli.

I was about to ask her something but she was gone. At nung lumingon ako sa likod, I saw her talking with that guy. My jaw dropped.

He's really tall, huh. Llana is tall, me as well.  But this guy is way taller than us. Knowing that we're only on our second year in highschool..

Llana said something and point a finger at me. The guy, who had confusion written all over his face was replaced by "oh, I know you" expression and he seemed so amused about it.

"Ikaw yung nakita ko sa bayan kahapon, 'di ba?" Tanong agad niya nang makalapit sila sa kinaroroonan ko.

Tinignan ko si Llana at ang walang hiya, nag-oppa sign pa. Tumango-tango pa. Pinigilan kong umikot ang mata ko dahil sa kaharutan niya.

Nang inilipat ko naman ang tingin ko sa kanya ay inabot niya ang kamay niya, "Yvander Jimenez nga pala. Nice to meet you, Cassandra."

Tinignan ko siya at tinaasan ng kilay. "Ang pormal mo naman masyado," kunwaring reklamo ko.

He chuckled and I swear, that damn jawline of him just flexed. Oh, God. Help me.

"Sige na, oh. Nangangawit na ako," nakangiti niyang sabi habang iwinawagayway niya ang kamay niya. Wala akong nagawa kundi makipag-shake hands. And the moment our hands touched, I felt a foreign sensation in my body and ny heart palpitates fast when he squeezed my hand that made me look at him.

Napatingin ako sa kanya at sumalubong ang mukha niyang malapit na pala saakin. Nagulat ako kaya bahagya akong napaigtad kaya tumawa siya. Binitawan ko na ang kamay niya at hinila si Llana.

Habang naglalakad ay may pahabol pa siya, "Laters, Miss!"

Hinawakan naman ni Llana ang balikat ko at niyugyog ako.

"Holy damn, Cassandra! How did you met that guy? He even quoted Christian Grey's quote! Plus, he's so guwapo and friendly!" Humagikhik pa siya.. tss. What is so special about him?

Fine, he's guwapo!

"Why did you talk to him?" walang emosyon kong tanong sa kanya.

"Be-cause, I saw him looking at you so I grab hin and asked if he's looking for someone, at sinabi niyang parang may kakilala siyang nakita at nong tinuro kita, tumigil talaga ang mata niya sa'yo and do you saw the amusement in his eyes? He's like my Christian Grey!" Kinikilig na kwento niya.
