Chapter 27

His POV ♡

Zeus

I was busy watching the wide field when a girl caught my attention. Nagsalubong ang kilay ko nang makitang kinakapa nito ang sarili niya at bigla-biglang hihinto sa paglalakad. Maya-maya ay bigla itong napatid kaya't natawa ako.

"Xiellara!! Naiwan mo tumbler mo!" A guy approaches her and handed a pink tumbler.

"Oh shit, kaya pala feeling ko may nakalimutan ako. Anyway, thank you, Yuki."

Napataas ang kilay ko nang bigla siyang pitikin sa noo nung lalaki.

"What was that for?!" Galit na sigaw nung babae.

"Tignan mo dinadaanan mo sa susunod, nakita kitang napatid." Pagkatapos ay tinawanan niya ito sa mukha at dali-daling tumakbo paalis.

Dumaan ang mga araw at nagkaroon ng assembly ang mga committee ng Grade 7, which is I am also included since I am one of the officers. Napasulyap ako sa kabilang mesa nang makita ulit ang pamilyar na babaeng nakita ko noong nakaraan sa field. What was her name again? Xiellara, right?

She is together with the guy who handed her tumbler, I think they are the chosen representatives of their section.

Now that I've seen her up close, she really is pretty huh. Her siren eyes seems to be always communicating, thick lashes and pointed nose. I feel like her cheeks are naturally rosy and jaw lines that is perfectly crafted. Her hair flows like a wave of an ocean. Her appearance is too catchy like you can't resist looking at her.

Naputol ang pag-iisip ko nang biglang mag pitik ng daliri si Lex sa harap ko.

"Ang lalim ng iniisip ah? The meeting is almost done and kanina ka pa jan nakatunganga." Agaran niyang banggit.

Napakurap ako dahil sa sinabi niya saka tumingin sa harap. The council is already finalizing the meeting.

"May iniisip lang." Saka nakaw sulyap akong tumingin sa gawi kung nasaan si Xiellara.

She is now fighting for her life to not fall asleep while listening to the head of the council. I slightly chuckled when she tried her best to open her eyes.

"Who are you looking at anyway?" Kuryusong tanong ni Lex saka sinundan ng tingin ang tinitignan ko. Pero bago niya pa maabutan ng tingin ang babae ay agad ko ng tinakpan ang mata niya.

"What the fuck bro." Pabulong niyang mura.

I am now in grade 8 and we're currently at the cafeteria eating our lunch. Thala was busy ranting about her struggles in her studies, Lex was just listening at her rants, Cairo is drinking his soda while looking at his phone, Darren is reading his notes for our upcoming quiz, France is talking to someone at his phone, while I am busy looking around the cafeteria.

Isn't it time for their lunch?

Ang kanina ko pang hinihintay ay dumating na, she's with her circles. She's talking to her classmates about what foods they will get this afternoon. Nakahanap na sila ng mauupuan na hindi rin naman kalayuan sa amin. Maya-maya pa ay tumayo siya kasama ang isang babae, I think they are the one who will order the foods.

Napatayo ako sa inuupuan ko kaya't umangat ang tingin sa akin ng mga kaibigan ko.

"Jejebs ka ba pre?" Tanong ni Lex kaya binato ko siya ng tissue.

"Bibili ng inumin." Maikli kong sagot.

"Ha? Kakaubos mo lang ng coke mo ah—"

"Edi bibili ng candy! Just shut up and do your things." Kako at hindi na nag abalang magpaliwanag pa.
