Beneath her Mask

5: Showdown

"Alright bitch, spill it out! Anong ganap niyo nung foreigner na yon?" - pangungulit ni Kristin

Second class for today, at kanina pa kami naghihintay sa teacher na naguumastang student dahil sa pagiging late niya. Aba, tinalo pa yung kaklase kong hobby na ata ang maging late. Kaya eto ngayon, nambibwiset si Kristin.

"Pinagsasabi mo? Tigilan mo nga ako! Ang aga pa high ka nanaman." - sagot ko

"For the millionth time, I do not take drugs! Ugh!" - inis na pagkakasabi niya

Tumawa na lang ako at napailing. Serves her right for annoying me. Napaka pikon talaga hahahaha.

Bigla namang tumunog ang phone ko na nagsasabing may message ako.

From Bobong Foreigner:

Hey, Can we meet up again later? After class in the library? I already have the materials for our project.

Wondering when did we exchanged numbers? Keep doing so, hindi ko sasabihin. I just sighed and rolled my eyes then replied a simple 'K' to him. Naiinis pa rin ako sa kanya. Sa paguumastang niyang psychiatrist sya na kunwari nababasa niya at nakikilala niya ako. Like wtf? Psychic? Baka psycho? Well anyway, wala pa rin ang teacher namin so yung mga kaklase ko ay nagsisimula nang magsilabasan para gumala kung saan. At nagsisimula na rin akong mag isip kung dapat pa bang bayaran namin yung mga guro dito dahil wala naman silang ginagawang tama bukod sa pagiging pakialamero at late nila. Seriously, I think my mother is just wasting money on those imbeciles.

"Sama ka? I'm going to the cafeteria. Our dumb teacher's never gonna show up and we've been waiting 30 mins already." - pag aalok ni Kristin

"Nope, it's fine. I'll stay here for a while."

"Alright. Suit yourself."

She waved her goodbye and shut the door. Actually, the reason why I stayed here is not just to be all alone and miserable. Since i'm free naman for another hour, I thought na bakit hindi na lang namin simulan ang project namin ni Sean? That way mas madaling matapos at hindi na kami mag-uusap pa kahit na kailan. Brilliant, right? I know. I summoned my phone from my blazer's pocket and typed a message to Sean.

Me: Do you have class? Well I don't. Why don't we start the project right now? Room 23.

He immediately replied na papunta na siya which is kind of surprising. I thought kasi na may class pa sila. Few minutes later and he's here na may dala-dalang... Whoa.

Binili niya ba yung buong Expressions? National Book Store?

"That's a lot of things for just one project, don't you think?" - I said as I stood up and walked towards him.

"I'd like to think I put a lot of effort on all my projects. Besides, it's all on me. Hindi kita pagbabayarin sa materials. If you'll help me?" - tanong niya at inabot pa talaga sakin ang limang cartolina na may iba't ibang kulay.

Huh, as if.🙄

"Nope. Ikaw bumili, ikaw magbuhat. I don't mind paying." - I smiled ever so sweetly at him and shoved his damn cartolinas back on his chest.

Well, a part of it. Since his hands are all full. He just sighed and placed all the materials on the teacher's desk.

"Alright, well then let's get this started." -he said as he rolled up one of his sleeves.

Really? He has a tattoo? This guy just keeps surprising me every damn time.

"Alam mo bang bawal ang tattoos dito?" I asked as I motioned to his arm that has a lion crest tattoo on it.
