I knew you were Trouble

Chapter One

Fifteen minutes and I'll be late. I was running for my life when I heard someone shouted my name.

"Addie! Hey Addie!!" Sigaw ni Blaire habang ako ay tumatakbo sa hallway ng campus. Maging ang ibang estudyante tuloy ay napatingin sa amin sa lakas ng sigaw ng babaeng ito. She made a peace sign to them and even pouted her lips. Cute, ang sarap kurutin.

"Bakit ka sumisigaw?" tanong ko sa kanya

"I was calling you kaya kanina pa, bakit ka ba kasi tumatakbo?" sabi nya ng hinihingal pa. "I texted you pero hindi ka nagrereply" she said and rolled her eyes.

"Uh--"

"Well obviously you did not check your phone again. Hay nako" sabat nya

Anak ng, ang daldal talaga ng babaeng ito. Tinignan ko lang sya.

"What? Are you just gonna stare at me? Oh come on girl, I know I'm pretty but please" she said while putting her hair at the back of her ears and smiling like an idiot. Madalas talaga makapal ang mukha ng isang ito.

"How to be humble Blaire?" i rolled my eyes at her. "Well as you can see Miss, malelate na po ako sa first class ko, wala ka bang pasok? Are you going to cut?

"What cut are you talking about?" she hysterically asked. "FYI Adelia Lyssandra Hernandez, I haven't done that pa no" Alam ko naman yun, inaasar ko lang siya, medyo mabilis kasi sya mapikon. Pero mukhang mas maiinis pa ako dahil binanggit nya ang buong pangalan ko.

"Seriously Blaire, what is it? I'm already late at ikaw din" kahit tumakbo pa ako ngayon ay malelate pa din ako lalo na at sa third floor pa ang class ko. Some prof just don't give considerations you know.

"Seriously Addie." she mocked "If you're just checking your phone, i bet nasa bahay kapa ngayon at masarap ang tulog" she said and laughed. Napakunot ang noo ko at agad na inilabas ang cellphone sa bag. Monday naman ngayon diba? At alas otso ang pasok ko, nagkamali ba ako? Hindi ko na kasi na check kanina yung phone ko dahil nagmamadali ako at dahil din nagcommute lang ako. Bakit kaya hindi nalang nya sabihin kaagad? Pagtatawanan pa ako.

I checked my phone at marami ngang texts, one from Mavie and the rest are from her. Una ko munang tinignan yung text ni Mavie.

From: Mavie
Good morning Addie, take care on your way to school. I'll see you later.

From: Sexy Blaire (Well, Blaire lang dati yan, she's the one who put the word sexy)
Bes, Good morning. :)

From: Sexy Blaire
You still at home? Classes for today are cancelled. May meeting daw yung mga profs.

From: Sexy Blaire
Do you have plans? You want us to meet nalang sa mall?

From: Sexy Blaire
Well i guess you haven't checked your phone yet? I'll meet you at school nalang. Ingat sila sayo. hahahaha!!

Oh diba? pati sa text madaldal talaga sya. Napa face palm nalang ako. Kaya pala ang daming nakalabas na students sa campus. I even bumped into Lala, one of my blockmates. She's also calling me pero di ko din pinansin. How snob Addie. I guess sometimes you also have to notice everything around you huh?

"Someone is saved again from being late." She smirked. Maka nanaman 'to akala mo naman madalas ako malate. "Why are you late nanaman ba kasi?" Tanong nya nang naglalakad na kami. Hindi ko alam kung saan kami pupunta basta nakasunod lang ako sakanya.

We're not classmates, sa ibang minor subjects lang. She's taking up Tourism while I'm taking up Business Management. We are both on our third year now. Actually going forth next semester.

I sighed and looked at her.
"I slept late. Tinapos ko kasi kagabi yung isang painting ko" sagot ko sakanya. She knows how dedicated I am when it comes to my paintings na kapag naka mood ako magpaint, no one can disturb me.
