I took a sip and focused my gaze at the guy who sat in front of my chair. Nag-iisa lang ako dito sa loob ng canteen lalo na at may lakas ako ng loob para mag cutting ng klase ko sa Entrep.
Business talking.
Business talking.
Business talking.
Ano nga bang kinalaman ng health studies sa business studies? Like, what? Well, ba't nga naman ako magrereklamo? They told us we're not that sure with the careers we want to pursue in the future. Okay. I half-agree with it and I half-disagree. That's life. You've got to see the good and bad side of one thing or a person.
Sabi ko nga, mag-isa lang sana ako dito sa pang-dalawahang table nang dumating nalang bigla itong lalake na sobrang kilala ko at ng buong school. Who would not? He's Zachariah Cade Fuentes, the MVP of the Basketball team. Boring niya nga, eh. A basketball player is too cliché for me that I cringed everytime I got the chance to hear it.
I am also waiting for my sister who's ready to kick my ass. Syempre, pag nalaman niyang nag cutting ako ay magwawala 'yon. OA, eh. Akala mo naman ibabagsak mo na talaga lahat ng subjects mo. Pasalamat nga ako at lunch time na din pagkatapos ng entrepreneurship namin. "Zach nga pala." He offered a hand that's ready to shake hands with me.
"Zach Fuentes, right?" I asked then he nodded with a wide smile on his face. It's like he's pleased to hear me say his name. If he's pleased with it, I'm not. "I know you." I stated.
"Who wouldn't, right?" He joked. Yes. By the tone of his voice, I can say that he is joking, but I am not even laughing. It's not going to make me laugh.
"Would it hurt if I tell you I don't like you?" I asked him.
Nawala ang inaalagaan niyang ngiti at parang hindi makapaniwala sa narinig mula sa akin. Para bang naapakan ko ang pinagkakaingatan niyang ego. Well, I'm good at stepping someone's ego. "No." He answered my question.
I smiled at him.
"That's great!" Napainom ako sa bottled water na binili ko kanina saka tumayo. "Sasabihin ko na sayo ngayon na ayokong lumapit-lapit ka sa akin, dahil allergic ako sa mga f-ckboys at ayoko din sa mga lalakeng tulad mo." Straightforward kong sabi na naging dahilan ng panlalaki ng kanyang mga mata.
"Whoah, miss. Are you serious?" Hindi-makapaniwala niyang tanong.
One of my brows raised.
"I am always serious, Mr. del Rosario." And then I left him there with his jaw dropped.
Well, it's not hard to drop a playboy. Yes, people, it does feed my own ego. I just dropped the notorious playboy in our school and I don't give a f-ck.
