Snow White

Chapter 7

"Be my date for the assembly?" His voice echoed in my mind as he gave me a soft kiss. Tinulak ko siya at nasampal. We were both shocked with what happened. Nakatitig ako sa kanyang pisnging namumula, my eyes find his. I began to panic when I saw his eyes seem to hint anger. He looked down. Galit nga siya? Anong gagawin ko?!!
  

  "Waah. Sorry. I'm so sorry. Hindi ko sinasadya. It's just that... You always attack me suddenly. Tapos... Sorry talaga. I didn't mean to slap you. It was a spur of the moment. Sorry Andrei." I was stuttering from panic. Hindi pa rin siya nagsasalita. Is he that angry with me?

"Ikaw kasi, you always steal a kiss from me." Nasabi ko ata ng malakas yung nasa isip ko. I heard a chuckle escape his lips. Napatigil ako sa pagpapanic at napatitig sa kanya.

    Lumakas ang pagtawa niya, "You're so cute. Masyado ka nagpapanic. It's fine. I deserve it." He, laughing, was so handsome that he seemed to sparkle in front of me. Napatigil siya ng makitang nakatitig akong maiigi. Lumapit siya sa tainga ko and whisphered. "Too cute... to resist." Nanginig ang buong sistema ko sa bulong na yun.

    Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Nagsimulang maginit ang pisngi ko. At nanigas sa pwesto ko. He moved away and chuckled again. "Be my date. Please?" His eyes pleaded.

    Nasa panaginip ba ako? Ang gwapo ng nilalang sa unahan ko and he's asking me to be... his date? Why didn't I notice his long eyelashes before? Nor his sparkling hazel brown eyes? His red, red lips?

    "Snow?" I blinked twice. "You're red." He said as a matter of fact. A smile form his lips.

    "Gwapo ko ba? Tititigan mo na lang ba ang kagwapuhan ko? O sasagutin mo na ko ng oo?" This time, I blinked thrice. Oo?

    "Nanliligaw ka ba?" I blurted out what was supposed to be a question in my head. Lalong naginit ang pisngi ko sa pagtawa niya ng malakas. Kahit sa lakas ng pagtawa niya, hindi nawawala ang kagwapuhan. Ang daya naman, masyado siyang gwapo. Wala bang flaw?

    "I was planning to ask kung pwede manligaw sa assembly. But it seems na gusto mong simulan ko na? Pwede ba?" He stopped laughing or at least held it in.

    Natauhan na talaga ko this time. "Asa ka namang manyak ka! Hindi ako sasama sayo sa assembly at lalong lalo na hindi ka pwede manligaw!" I said and ran away from him.

   

Sa pagtakbo ko, naalala ko rin na malalim na ang gabi. Patay na talaga ako nito kela Kuya! Baka lalong hindi ako makasama sa assembly. Gusto ko pa naman talaga sumama. Naalala ko naman ang sinabi sa akin ni Marcy.

   
    "Meron lang kasi tayong magagawang irrational, sometime stupid or crazy decisions, and sometimes we think it's right, but then everything ends up in chaos. We're the one who's hurt. Kaya yung mas nakakatanda sa atin. They do their best para di tayo masaktan." Maybe she's right.
   

 I decided na makipagbati na sa mga kapatid ko. That's just the way they are. I smiled as I remembered everytime me and my brothers secretly roam around the neighborhood. And they always forbid me to talk to strangers. Not even help one in need. Pero hindi ako sumunod.
