Proud To Be Manhid

Glasses 5

Well. Kahapon. I don't know kung anong meron kahapon. Days passed. Quite boring at masyadong walang ganap. Only our Journals.

Pumunta na ako sa classroom habang kasama si Lucy. I'll just remind Blood when I get there. Simula kasi nung iniwan niya ako sa Park. Di na nagpakita sa akin.

Yung requirements namin kasi, tsk. Ewan ko ba kung bakit hindi niya sineryoso ang requirements namin.

I was preoccupied with my thoughts. Inakbayan na ako ni Wave. Not now please? I'm enjoying my travel in space right now.

Lucy's just watching us. I rolled my eyes. Tumigil kami sa paglalakad. Hinarap ako ni Wave sa kanya gamit sa paghawak niya sa magkabila kong braso.

"Okay ka lang ba?" He asked.

"Yeah? I guess." I sighed. Wala talaga ako sa mood and I don't know why.

"Himala, dahil hindi mo na ako inaasar?" I asked him.

He just smiled. Hinila niya kami papuntang cafeteria. May klase pa kami. Turns out. Nag-cut na kami nang klase.

"Here." Naka-upo lang kami ni Lucy sa table nang dumating siya.

Napanganga ako. Ang daming pagkain. This is heaven! I exclaimed to myself.

"Pinapataba mo ba kami?" Lucy asked, irritated. Well. Hindi naman kasi kumakain nang marami si Lucy. Minsan lang.

Well as for me. Tsk. I admit. Mahilig akong kumain. And for this moment, I know na nagniningning na ang aking mga mata habang nakatitig sa maraming pagkain sa harap ko.

"Just eat. Ang tagal ko nang hindi kayo nalilibre." He said. Yeah. He tends to treat us way often. These past few days, hindi na namin siya masyadong nakakasalubong. You know. Our fathers were close friends at the same time business partners.

Leaving their offsprings, which is us, also close friends.

Way back in our childhood days was fun. Marami nga lang bodyguards ang nakasunod. Tsk. That's why I want to live a simple life. Away from riches and gold.

"Class. You had only a limited time about your journals. Late to submit, there will be a deduction." Our teacher reminded as about the said requirements.

Nilibot ko ang aking paningin sa buong classroom. Where is that Blood?

"Hey, sinong hinahanap mo?" Lucy asked me.

"Yung partner ko. Di ko mahagilap." Napatawa naman siya sa sagot ko.

"Goodluck nalang. Magkita pa kami ni Wave sa Library." After that she bid farewell.

Napagdesisyunan ko nalang na hanapin si Blood. Hindi ko alam kung saan nagsusuot ang isang yon.

It was breaktime kaya marami nang estudyante sa hallway.

Nasagi ako nang isang nagmamadaling estudyante. Yung siko niya is natamaan din sa right siko ko. Dahil sa impact nawalan ako nang balanse. Babagsak na sana ako sa floor when a pair of firm hands held me.

Imbis na ako ang hahalik sa sahig, ang mga braso niya na ang nakahalik sa sahig.

He shielded me with his arms. Hindi ko na mahagilap ang nakabangga sa akin. Babatukan ko lang sana.

It was Blood. Itinayo niya ako. Where is this guy hiding?

"Buti nalang nagpakita ka. And by the way. Thanks." I said in formality.

Panindigan niya talaga ang pagiging emotionless niya no? I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Yung requirements natin. Hindi pa ba natin tatapusin?" I asked him.

At talagang pinanindigan niya talaga ang pagiging cold ano?

I grabbed his right arm para sana hilain siya pero he winced in pain. Nagulat ako doon.

Namamaga ang kanan niyang braso. Siguro dahil sa kanina. Suddenly, gulit creep inside me.

"I'm sorry. Let's go the infirmary. You should be checked." I suggested. Tumango lang ito at sumunod sa akin.

That's why hindi siya umiimik. He must be enduring the pain I've caused him.

Mabigat ba ako?

We arrived at the Infirmary and had him checked. The nurse said that it was nothing to be afraid of. I sighed in relief. Maybe it'll take 24 to 30 hours para gumaling. Just apply cold compress palagi. The nurse handed him some ice bag. Ako na ang kumuha non at nilagay sa kamay niya.

He insisted but I disagreed. Kasalanan ko pa naman. Tsk.

Napaangat ako nang tingin which caught him staring at me. He suddenly looked away. His ears were red again. Kailangan ba din yun nang cold compress?
