From The Ground Up (On Going)

Chapter 40 "In A Relationship"

***

Flarein POV

We're now treading at the walkway going to our room. Waronn and I are a bit far from the group since he always pulled me back every time I tried to be fast in walking. He always said that he missed me and he wanted to get spent more time with me. I understand him anyway, we actually don't have time for each other because we're too much busy for the past days. Though, we still eat together and gives small talks every lunch break. And besides this is our last day of exam so perhaps he can wait for it. I know he can because if it's not, he won't let his self to court me and wait for my yes with no assurance at all.

My perception about college way back is really different from now. Back then, I thought college life was like highschool, I can take it easy and no need to pressure myself but right now? I think college is way harder than I expect. And guess what, I'm just in the first level. But I should believe in myself. Yeah, I can do it! Yes I can!

"Five down, one subject to go!" Sigaw ni Tarokko na nagpatawa sa amin. Tumalon talon pa kasi siya habang papasok ng silid.

Para siyang bata!

"The next subject is what I hated the most." Maktol ni Hyle. She pursed her lips turning into a grimace.

Halata nga lagi ba naman siyang tulog sa klase ni sir. Pasalamat talaga siya at hindi siya napapansin. Hindi ko nga alam kung nocturnal ba siya dahil sa subject lang talagang ito siya tulog. Pero kung papansinin mo rin ay mas active siya sa gabi, lagi kasing naka-online ang timang kahit hating gabi na. Oh 'wag kayo d'yan. Naaalimpungatan kasi ako madalas, eh kapag ganoong sitwasyon hindi talaga ako nakakabalik sa tulog agad kaya kinakailangan kong libangan ang sarili para antukin ulit. 

"Hey babe? Where do you wanna go later?" He asked out of nowhere. He was leaning his head at the backrest of my chair. He's seating at the chair of Raz since Raz went outside a minute ago.

"Home?" Naguguluhan kong tugon. Wala naman kasi akong gustong puntahan maliban sa kama ko. "Why? Are you tired?" Why he's so sweet? I can't stop myself to feel this weird feeling. If he will continued doing like this I don't think I can't afford to lose him anymore.

"Yeah, I was drained this passed few days." I started to run my hand through his hair. Finding a style that I think much suit him well. Not that his style was not befit at him just that I like to see him wearing new look. Good thing he's letting me to do it. Not sensible lad unlike others.

"Okay, I understand. My babe badly need to rest." Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kaniya dahil hindi ko napigilang mapangiti sa kilig.

Ano ba 'tong lalaking 'to balak pa atang patayin ako sa kilig? Kahit hindi ko siya tingnan alam kong nagpapa-cute siya. I can't answered back right away since I'm trying to compose myself again from what should be. Why does it hard to control myself from grinning? Why he's damn carrying a lot of flowery words? And why does he's good on catching girls heart? Perhaps from this day, I should do keeping half of myself, just for myself. As War's attitude I don't think he has this capable to tame his true freakin' feeling.

"Thank you War." I replied wholeheartedly in midst of silence.

To be very honest, I'm so fortunate having him in my life. Although, I've been known him for quiet brief time. I think I knew him better. He's so caring and understandable on me. Yeah 'cause he's negligent at anyone like Raz. That's what I actually noticed. Not that observant but it's freaking obvious. I never saw him talking on anyone outside the group. Oh I forgot, he's doing the same thing on Hyle. Remember when we're into altercation scenario? He's been always with Hyle.
