Falling Leaves

Chapter 18: Improving

Xena's P.O.V.

I gather all my strength to stand up. I still feel the fast beats of my heart, I know it's not from nervous but in ecstasy..
Wait...

WHAT?!!!NO WAY!

I immediately storm out of locker room. What is this feeling?

Agad na naming bumalik ang pesteng nangyari kanina, nung naghalika-----

"AHHHHHH!!!" I shouted in frustration, I am so confused!

"Hey, Xena? Are you alright?" That manly voice, Kirke.

I quickly turned my face at him. He is the still most handsome creature in my sight.

Bakit parang hindi na ako kinikilig sa presensya niya, no! Hindi pwede, he is still the man I'd like to own.

How about Leaf, Xena?

Oo nga noh!

Ugh, what about her??!!

Hmmm, really Xenaiden? Paano kung, suddenly she introduces someone----

"That will never happen! Subukan niya lang!" agad na nanlaki ang mata ko sa naibulalas ko, damn why I have to be so impulsive! I cleared my throat and casually stare at Kirke who's confusedly looking at me. Argh, I feel a little embarrassment, duh he was my crush kaya! I mean STILL crush! What's wrong with my vocabulary lately?!

"Ahm, are you fine?" He repeated asking me, I forced a smile at him and replying

"Yes, why did you suddenly approach me?" I asked na nagtataka, duh I am the one who keep following him kaya! He cleared his throat and did his usual habit which is brushing up his hair, which I find so attractive, before. WHAT?

"Sorry for not keeping you and snobbing you. It's just that, I don't know how to approach you, seriously. I am so bad for not noticing you.."

He explained, wait, he's not like this? Maybe he needs something from me? Seriously, he doesn't need to say that, I feel sudden annoyed.

"I am afraid you need something from me?" I sarcastically said, which I never show him this kind of attitude. I saw him stiffened. Ooopss, my bad.

"Ahm, Xenaiden. I'll be straight to the point. Our varsity team needs muse for our upcoming game. And I choose you because, you are the one who's prettiest in our school.." He scratch his nape, he looks embarrass. Just wow, did he just complimented me? I feel my heart flutter, that's right baby, make move, hindi na lang puro ako.

Leaf Del Fiero joins the chat

ARGH!!! Bakit bigla siyang nasingit?!! Wala siyang papel sa lovelife ko right?!!

"Sure, why not? Kailan ba yan?" I said happily, his face lighten up which made him so handsome, but my heart, why is it like that? It doesn't beat so loud, unlike when Leaf's around?

"Thank you, Xena! Next week." He gave me a toothy smile, I just nodded. I saw Alessana coming near us, nanunukso ang tingin niya, I immediately roll my eyes at her.

"Hey Xena and ohhh, the great Kirke Mediavillo hmm.." I saw her smirked. Kirke just smiled at her.

"Hi Alessana, how's going?" He put his hand on his pocket. Alessana just tucked her hair behind her ear, CAPITAL PABEBE, I want to vomit right into her face.

"Nothing's special, Kirke. Why are you with my kindest friend here?" I know she's trying her best not to laugh, damn you Alessana! Gusto mo ba ng masampolan?

"Excuse me, Alessana. I don't remember that you are my friend?" I said while checking my nails, just to annoy her. She just laughed. I roll my eyes at her.
