Darren Espanto? My ex-friend. (Darren Espanto and Juan Karlos Labajo)

Chapter 3: Babysitting?

Lygienel's POV

I squealed when Mr. Santiago announced that our group won. Darren looked at me, grinned and hugged me, unexpectedly. I blushed really hard. Then, Darren leaned back right away. I guess that Darren was just that happy that we won the activity.

 "Oh, sorry," he suddenly said, looking a bit pale. I chuckled at him and nodded. "It's okay, though," I replied. He shyly smiled back at me.

"Okay okay, so the group two won. And you're going to get a plus five from me for your midterms, bye class, I'll see you tomorrow," Sir Vincent said. We all grinned to each other. 5 points is big already, you know. Everyone groaned except our group. I chuckled lightly.

"They don't have to be mad at us, really, I mean, we played fair as a square," Darren said as he puts his arm around me. I blushed lightly.

As we went back to our seats, Juan Karlos sat beside me and smiled at me. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Aray ko naman! What's your problem?" I asked him. Juan Karlos just pinched both sides of my cheeks. And, it hurts so bad. Like really. I swear, I think my cheeks looks like I deeply blushed of something. This is just so embarrassing.

"Sorry, you're just too cute, y'know?" he asked and chuckled. I blushed. Well, looks like it isn't that obvious because JK pinched my cheeks. I pouted at him. Ugh, this guy.

"Stop it, JK," I told him. He chuckled and nodded. "JK? Aren't you planning on going back to your proper seat?" I asked him. He faced me and shrugged his head no. He is just so insane. "I asked Sofia to exchange seats and she said yes, though," he replied. I mentally facepalmed myself. Sofiaaaaa! Mamaya ka sa akin kang babae ka.

"JK, what day is it today?" I stupidly asked Juan Karlos. Then I just suddenly remembered that it's the first day of school so.. it's Monday.

Stupid Lygienel.

"It's crappy Monday, why?" he replied and asked me back. I chuckled at his answer. Crappy Monday. "Are we going to hangout later?" I asked him again, he just nodded and continued to copy notes on the board. Ms. Salceda is already here, our Filipino teacher. She told us that our seating position today will be permanent for the rest of the school year.

I guess I'm stucked with Juan Karlos on my side to the left. Michelle on my side to the right and Darren, Ron, Nash and Hayes at my back.. for the rest of the school year. I just hope I'll survive from this misery. Oh gosh, what a day!

Once we are already finished copying the notes, we're already allowed to go home. "Are you done yet?" JK asked me. I shrugged my head no.

"Uhm.. last 3 words.. and now I'm done!" I exclaimed then I heard someone chuckled from the back. Probably Darren or Nash. "Announcement lang, class. Maupo kayong lahat," I was about to stand up when Ms. Salceda said that - that made me sit down from my seat once again.

"Bukas, lahat kayo ay required magsalita nang Tagalog at hindi English, at simula bukas, Binibining Salceda and itatawag nyo sa akin," Ms. Salceda said. We all nodded. Ms. Salceda rolled her eyes and yelled, "Mga pipe't bingi ba kayo? Sagot!" she furiously shouted. Scary huh? We all bowed our heads and answered, "Opo, naiintindihan po naman," 

"Okay, pwede na kayong umalis," when Ms. Salceda said that, JK immediately grabbed my hand and went our of the room. "What was that for?" I asked him. He smiled a bit at me and answered, "I immediately grabbed you out so that hindi ako mauunahan ni Darren," he said shyly. I blushed a bit. 

"Why? Are you jealous of what've happened earlier?" I asked JK, teasing him a bit, elbowing him to his sides. He just rolled his eyes. I grinned at him. "Why would I be jealous, huh? I can just hug you anytime, I can just kiss you, you know," he defended himself. I made a face at him. He put an arm on my shoulder as we walk.
