One week after.
Nothing really important happened. Let’s just say Lexus won the election. And I therefore announce na siya na ‘daw’ po ang heartthrob chu chu ng university namin. Is that even a good news?
No, right? Dahil kung medyo may pagka-mahangin to, ano pa kaya ngayon?
“Grabe, kahit san talaga ko tumingin, every girls were trying to caught my attention. Well, kahit naman before ganun, pero mas iba ngayon, sarap sa feeling!”
“And to the 4th day plus ten times this day pwede ba tigilan mo ko ng kayabangan mo!? Kung gusto mong sumama saken, manahimik ka nalang ples? ”
“Bakit ba?! Can’t you see you’re so lucky to be with me?” he protested.
“Kapal mo please! Hey Mr. Lorenzo, I opted to be with you today ‘cause I have no choice! See? As in NO CHOICE AT ALL.”
We’re here at the school grounds, pinagmamasdan ang paligid. And yes magkasama kami. Why? Iza was absent. Iniwan ko sa dorm, nagsasakit sakitan ang bwiset. My other friends; Mariel and Aira were busy for the school literary paper. So there.
“Fine! You think I wanna be with you?! No no no Ms. Angeles. Wala lang talaga kong kasama ngayon”
“Kase wala ka namang kaibigan!” I said.
“hoy para sabihin ko sayo, buong klase natin close ko!” with matching smirk pa siya.
“Yuck di bagay.” Tinaasan nya ko ng kilay.
“mamatay na nagtanong.” Sabi niya without looking. “mamatay na sumagot.” I answered. Pareho kaming natahimik.
“Edi magpatayan nalang kayong dalawa aber?” said someone behind us. Ugh?
“Sir!” napatayo kami mula sa pagkakaupo sa damuhan. Sheez. Pinagpag namin yung uniforms namin at humarap kay Sir Lino. Ang Mapeh Teacher namin na di mawari ang gender. Gets?
Tinaasa niya kami ng isang kilay. Taray! “Are you two...committed?” he asked.
“HELL NO!” sabay namin sabi ni Lex. Dafuq? Ako committed with this guy? YUCK
“Really?” sabi pa ni sir.
“Of course sir. Hundred and one percent sure.” Sagot ni Lex.
“Fine. But be reminded that you guys were late in my class. We’ve been having our class approximately half an hour. Tapos kayo nandito sa school grounds, relaxing? Can you proceed now to your respective rooms? We’re preparing the activity for next week. Now go!”
Pinandilatan kami ng mata ni sir. Scared, kaya nagmadali kaming bumalik sa klase. Ano ba kasing tinutunganga ko sa labas? Tsk
“malas ka talaga, leche!” bulong ko kay Lex bago umupo. Si sir naman nandito na rin sa room.
“hoy para sabihin ko sayo wala kong balat sa pwet!” sagot niya pag kaupo.
Praning talaga to. “ tss. Hindi mo na kailangan ng balat. Malas ka na eversince!”
“ ANGELES & LORENZO, late na nga kayo nakuha niyo pang mag away, mahiya naman please.” Napatigil naman kami agad. Mukhang HB si sir nako. “so as I was saying, next week ang audition for seniors’ band vocalist. Lahat kayo may partners na right? Except of those two late comers. So I think, you two would be the last set.” Sir Lino’s pertaining to us. Oh crap. This can’t be.
Napatayo ako ng di oras. “Seriously? Of all the people naman sir!”
“Why Ms. Angeles? Isn’t it nice? Kung kanina pa sana kayo sa klase ko edi sana may choice ka.”
