The Bad Boy With The Broken Heart

Chapter 3

This is the reason why I don't drink when I have to come to my class the next day. Hang over's a bitch. Lesson learned: Don't ever get drunk when you have a class the next day. Never. Ever. Again.

Pinilit kong bumangon sa kama kahit na pakiramdam ko ay mahahati sa dalawa 'yong ulo ko. Hindi ako pwedeng mag-absent dahil major subject ang pasok ko ngayon. I did my morning rituals and ate my breakfast. Usually, magluluto pa ako eh. Pero dahil nga sa tumitibok tibok kong ulo ngayon, wala ako sa mood na magluto.

Tinawagan ko si Kuya Kends para itanong kung pwede niya akong sunduin dito sa apartment ko at ihatid sa school. Buti nalang at mabait siya ngayon kaya pumayag siya. And speaking of him, mukhang hindi siya sumama kagabi ah.

"Hey" I said to Kuya Kends. He looks... happy? Hmm. Something smells fishy. He is usually like this, if he got a new girl, or... Mavis... Ewan ko ba sakanya. Gusto niya naman si Mavis, di niya pa aminin.

"Hey. Good Morning, baby girl." Omg. Masaya nga siya! I slapped his arm for calling me baby girl. It's been a while since the last time he called me that.

"Oh, shut up. I'm not a baby anymore. So, are you gonna tell me what happened or are you gonna tell me?" Sabi ko habang inaayos 'yong seatbelt ko.

"And what am I gonna tell you?" Sabi niya habang nakangiti. 'Yung ngiting masaya talaga. And am I seeing things? His eyes are sparkling. This is bad. I'm being delusional.

"The reason why you are so happy today. Don't ever think about lying. I can see your aura. And it tells me, that you are indeed happy. I can see your rainbow-colored aura, you know. I am that awesome." I smirked at him.

He started driving. His smile became bigger and his eyes became even brighter as if remembering something that he can never forget. "You wanna talk about aura? Let's talk about aura. I can see your aura. And it tells me, you're having a terrible hang over because you got drunk last night, and you did not even informed me that you're going out with Mavis."

Nanglaki 'yung mata ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Hindi niya alam na lalabas kami? I thought he knew. Oh right. Hindi ko nga pala siya nasabihan dahil bigla nalang akong hinila ni Mavis papunta sa isang bar.

"Oh, come on. It's not like I planned on get--" I wasn't able to finish what I am about to say because he started talking again.

"I can see your red-colored aura, you know. I am that awsome." He said, then, turned to me to smirk. Ooo-kay? Mukha naman siyang hindi galit. In fact, he still look happy.

"Okay. Get out. We're here." Parang ang harsh nung 'get out' ah.

Lumabas na ako ng kotse pero bago siya umalis, tinapat ko yung mukha ko sa may bintana. "You're not mad at me, are you?" Sabi ko kay Kuya Kends.

"Of course, I'm not. But the next time you plan on getting drunk. At least, inform me where you are."

Hindi ko pinansin yung sinabi niya. "I knew it! You were trying to change the topic because you don't want to tell me the reason what makes you so damn happy today!" Nagsisimula na siyang mag drive ng dahan-dahan pero 'yung ulo ko nasa may bintana pa rin. Hindi niya ako pinansin at pinabilis na niya ng konti yung takbo ng sasakyan. Saktong pag alis ko ng ulo ko, pinatakbo niya na ng mabilis yung kotse.

"Are you trying to get me killed?!" Sigaw ko sakanya. Napangiti ako ng pagkalaki-laki ng makita kong sinita siya ng guard sa gate. Huh. Nakalimutan niya atang nasa university grounds siya.

Paglingon ko, may lalaking nakatayo at tinititigan ako. I gave him a do-you-need-something look. Nung hindi pa talaga siya nag salita, ako na ang nagsalita. "You can take a picture of me. I cannot stand here for long just so you can stare at me because I have a class to attend to. All you have to do, is ask." I smirked at him.

Mukhang hindi siya nagulat sa sinabi ko dahil napangiti lang siya ng pagkalaki-laki. Uh-huh. Mas gumagwapo siya pag ngumingiti. Gwapo rin naman siya kahit hindi nakangiti. "I was hoping, maybe you changed your mind about my offer last night." I gave him an are-you-crazy look. What the hell is he talking about? Offer about what? Last night?

Then suddenly, pumasok sa isip ko 'yung nangyari kagabi. Siya 'yung lalaki sa bar na tawa ng tawa dahil sa mga sinasabi ko. "Sorry to crush your hopes. But no, I did not. Didn't even bother think about it."

"Well, I must do something to make you change your mind. I can be very persuasive when I want to, you know." He winked at me. Sabi ko na nga ba, may torette syndrome 'to eh.

"Good luck to that. I can be very adamant sometimes, you know."

He gave me a genuine smile. "I'm Gavin. Lyle Gavin Mendoza."

Nginitian ko siya sabay sabing "I'm Devon. Devon Jasmine Jaquez."

"So, you are the 'great' Gavin." I said, while quoting the word great. "What is the great playboy doing here?" Dagdag ko pa. Napatawa siya, and I don't know why. Wala naman akong sinabing nakakatawa, or at least for me, wala.

"Wow. You just called me 'the great playboy'. Should I take that as a compliment? And you know about me already. Am I that famous?" Sabi niya habang medyo natatawa pa rin.

"Depende sayo. And yes, you are that famous. Famous enough they warned me about your existence." Sabi ko at nagkibit-balikat. Hindi niya pinansin 'yong huli kong sinabi.

"Anyway, I'm here to inquire. I am planning to transfer in this school."

"Aaah. Akala ko andito ka para maghanap ng babaeng pwede mong offer-an ng kagagohan mo. " I said then, he burst out laughing his ass off.

I waited for him to calm down before talking again. "Napapansin ko, ha. Kagabi mo pa ako pinagtatawanan."

He ignored what I said, and said "I think it naturally comes off of you insulting other people unintentionally." And then laughed again. Nainsulto na siya sa sinabi ko pero tumatawa pa rin siya. So weird.

"I wonder why Tarrant wouldn't want to go out with you. You are so fun to be with." I heard him told himself. Tiningnan ko siya with a questioning look.

"Anong pinagsasabi mo?" Mukhang nagulat siya. Hindi niya ata alam na narinig ko 'yung sinabi niya.

"Nothing. It's just that, Mavis was asking Tarrant if he could go out with you. But he refused, so, I wonder why."

That girl. Bakit niya naman gagawin yun? Grabe. Nakakahiya. Baka isipin ni Tarrant na ako ang nag utos kay Mavis. Minsan talaga hindi nag iisip ang babaeng 'yon eh. It's not like I wanna go out with him, anyway.

"Of course. Why would he go out with me? He barely know me." I said with a Duh-tone.

"Isn't that the point of going out with someone? To know him or her better personally?" I rolled my eyes at him. Wala ba akong pwedeng sabihin na ma-i-speechless siya?

"Whatever." I checked my watch. I am almost late for my class. I looked at him, and I saw him checking out Maddie. One of the hot slutty girls in this school. And she's also one of the people I don't like in this school.

"Ooh. Looks like you found a new target now." I said. He gave me a questioning look. Awwe, the playboy's playing innocent.

"What's her name?" He asked excitedly. I rolled my eyes and said "Why don't you ask her? She's easy. She doesn't play hard to get." Then, I walked away.

Ugh. Time to deal with the tedious subject.
