*Kinabukasan*
Aria’s POV
This is gonna be a good day. Tama na yung isang lalaki ang nang-hurt sa ego at pride ko. I won’t let that Gino do the same for me. Hah!
*sa school*
“A! Good morning!” Ang aga ni P ah.
“Good morning, P.”
“Oh okay ka na? Guess what? I think I’m almost done with my detective work for you.”
Kakalimutan ko na nga dapat yung sinabi ko kay P. Ayoko na maging interesado. “Forget about it, P. Not interested anymore.” I mean it. Almost.
“Really? Sayang naman ang effort ko kahapon! And he’s quite interesting.”
Talaga lang ha? Yah, interesting how he can be that rude to a goddess like me. “O siya, spill it nang di naman sayang ang sinasabi mong effort mo.”
“Sus, kunwari ka pang ayaw mong malaman. Oh eto na nga. According to my findings.. Naks! Haha. Ahem, yun nga, I think he belongs to my class at this school. You know, low profile lang. Photographer ko nga pala yan sa school paper. I found at student records na he’s a full scholar. Transferee lang siya last year. Sa B siya inilagay. Ang pinagtataka ko lang, 99% ang nakuha niya sa entrance examinations which is I think first time in the history of our school. Pero walang nakakaalam nun and sa B siya inilagay. Hmmm. Don’t you think it’s a bit strange?”
0____0 99%?! He’s that smart? Pero imposible. Ako ng 95% e. Pero nasa A na ako at consistent top student.
Bakit siya sa B inilagay and ngayon lang nailipat ng A? Di kaya technical error lang sa results and records? Baka nga.
Nakakapanakit naman ng pride na may mas mataas sakin at yung lalaki pang yon. Mas nainis naman ako sa nalaman ko.
“He was top 1 dun last year kaya siguro he was transferred here. Actually wala masyadong nakalagay sa files niya. And, nung sinundan ko siya kagabi, I found out that he’s working as a waiter in a restobar nearby the teahouse na pinuntahan natin. Meaning, he’s got a low profile kaya bukod sa transferee siya e yun siguro dahilan kaya di siya kilala katulad niyong nagmamay-ari ng iba’t ibang negosyo.”
Wow. I didn’t see that coming. He looks and acts kasi like he's some of a cold prince or what. Kung makaasta naman akala mo kung sino. Pabayaan na nga. He’s not worth my attention.
*he’re we go.. come with me.. It’s a world out there that we should see. Take my hand.. close your eyes.. With you right here, I’m rocketeer. Let’s flyyyyy..* My phone.
“Thanks, P. Excuse me. I got a call.” Tumalikod ako kay P and got my phone. Unknown number?
“Hello?”
[Hey, Ria.]
F. Isa lang tumatawag sakin neto ah. *dug* *dug*
“Chace.” Ano kailangan ng lalaking to?! Cool ka lang A. You’re better now.
[I’m touched. You still recognized my voice. Anyway, I gotta go. I have class. Laters.] And the call ended. What an ass! Anong meron? Tatawagan ako tapos ibaba rin lang?!! At anong laters pinagsasabi non?
“P. We gotta go! Malapit nang magbell! Sino ba kausap mo?” Kasama na rin pala niya si D.
Di ko naman na sinagot ang tanong niya. Parang ang sama nanaman ng umpisa ng araw ko.
