--
"Hali ka dito. Samahan mo ako doon."
Mark offered Lyka a hand and raised a brow. She stared at his palm for a while and her eyes trailed up to his grinning face. "Sige na. Para matapos na namin ang peer tutoring namin", he chuckled.
"Huwg nalang—"
Mark suddenly tugged Lyka's wrist and hauled her towards where his classmates were seated. "Hoy, bitawan mo nga ako.", Lyka struggled to free her hand from mark's grip. She wriggle her arm and pulled as hard as she could.
"Mark!", both of Lyka and Mark stopped in motion and whipped their heads to Koeun's direction. Lyka's face contorted in disgust. She squint her eyes at the smiling Koeun and knitted her brows when she saw Mark smirk back at her.
Mark slowly draggee Lyka and she finally trailed along. They then sat together, with Koeun on Mark's right side and Lyka on the left. As everyone was busy making their homework, especially Mark and Koeun, Lyka remains silent, skeptical as ever as she scrutinizes the girls seated across Mark and her, who were constantly stealing glances at him.
She noticed there was a slight space between Mark and her. She had the urge to nudge closer to close the distance. But she hesitated.
She didn't want to become too possessive and clingy around him. She wanted to act like the usual. She didn't want everyone else to be disturbed by the thought that Mark and her were in a relationship.
For a couple of minutes, all Lyka ever did was blankly stare from afar, sometimes even observing what the others were doing but mostly, just spacing out.
Mark noticed how surprisingly silent Lyka has become. He suspected that she might feel lonely and awkward with the Seniors. He paused for a moment and looked at her quietly sigh in boredom beside him.
(a/n: if you all still remember, Mark and Lyka aren't classmates. Mas matanda kasi si Mark ng 2 years sa kanya. Diba? Remember "I am lower grade of you" ? Yeah. Haha)
A
nd in a little later, Mark leaned to his side and whispered to Lyka's ear.
"Sandali lang ha. Malapit na namin tong matapos."
He reassuringly smiled at Lyka and she just jutted het lips into a pout, still furrowing her brows like a maddened child. She bit the inside of her cheeks as she deeped her stare. Mark simply chuckled and unexpectedly ruffled Lyka's hair, mischievously grinning. He softly looked at Lyka and wrinkled his nose.
Lyka's heart fluttered, not just a little bit but in an intense manner. Her heart pounded loudly inside her chest and her ears begin to feel warm. She stoop her head low to hide her cheeks which tinged pink in embarrassment.
"Hala wait teka, anong nangyayari dito?", Jeno queried as everyone's attention was caught. They all look at the two flustered love birds in curiosity. "Magjowa na ba kayo?" Renjun asked.
Mark subtly giggled, his cheeks reddebing all of a sudden. On the contrary, Lyka internally panicked. She was constantly looking down, avoiding to meet their eyes.
"Oooooy congrats!", shouted Jaemin, sounding a bit shady yet sincere.
Lyka tried to take a peek at Koeun's reaction and just as she thought, she was disdained. She squeezed the pencil she held in her hands and her eyes were agaped in awe. Koeun slowly turned her head to face Mark who was even more flustered now that almost everyone was teasing him.
And out of the blue, Koeun stood up, erecting as though she was stung. Everyone's attention was averted to her sudden commotion, especially Mark. Her hand morphed into a fist as she glared at Lyka and then to Mark.
"Congrats," she sarcastically smiled. And she left the crowd without saying anything else. Everybody was not entirely shocked except for Mark. He didn't comprehend things well.
"Teka muna Lyka ah."
And he chased Koeun, leaving Lyka flabbergasted.
