Encountered You

Chapter 6

Natapos nanaman ang isang araw ng kanilang klase. Aquiel and Zeph didn't cut their class today because of those two girls.

Aquiel didn't think that studying was always fun. He just did it so that his mom and dad were proud of him. Ngayon nageenjoy na siya sa kanyang pagaaral dahil may 'inspiration' ang binata.

Inayos agad ni Aquiel ang kanyang gamit. Pagkatapos niyang mag ayos, hinintay niya naman si Zeph dahil may tinatapos itong mga lectures.

"Putangina, natapos din." tumayo si Zeph at tumalom dahil sa saya.

"Ang saya mo naman. Natapos mo lang yan." iritado niyong sabi sa kaibigan. "Bilisan mo kasing magsulat next time, Quinn. Para hindi tayo nahuhuling umuuwi." tuloy nito.

"Ang dami kaya." reklamo ni Zeph kay Aquiel.

"Tamad ka lang magsulat." ginulo nito ang buhok ng kaibigan.

"Tara na. Ihahatid ko pa si Stella. Nagpromise ako sa mama niya." ngumiti ang binata ng bigla niyang mabanggit ang pangalan ni Stella.

"Sus. In love na in love na po si Appollo Valencia." tumawa ang kanyang kaibigan. "It's great seeing you like that, Quiel. Sana tuloy tuloy na pagiging masaya mo dahil kay Stella." bangit ni Zeph.

Zeph doesn't really say such things to Aquiel. They have been friends since their childhood. So, both gentlemen know each other really well.

"It's nice seeing you smile like earlier too, Zeph." bangit ni Aquiel sa kaibigan.

"What smile?" nagtatakang tanong ni Zeph.

"That smile whenever Kyra talks to you." tinapik ni Aquiel ang balikat ni Zeph.

"Ah, that." napakamot ang binatilyo sa kanyang ulo at napansin ni Aquiel na namula ang pisngi ni Zeph.

"Last time I saw you looking like a depressed kid was when Selene busted you." Aquiel laughed.

"Hoy, grabe ka ah. Pinsan mo nanakit sakin." sinuntok ni Zeph ang braso ni Aquiel.

"Okay okay. Sorry for bringing that up." tinaas ni Aquiel ang kanyang mga kamay at inunat ang mga ito.

"Tara na. Lumalabas na yung mga tao sa room 209." sabi ni Zeph nang makita niyang lumalabas ang ibang mga estudyante sa kabilang silid.

Sumandal si Aquiel sa pader ng silid nila Stella. Habang si Zeph naman ay kumatok sa kanilang pinto.

"Hey." Zeph said peeking at the two girls. He saw Stella cleaning the whiteboard and he saw Kyra arranging the chairs.

"Oh, Hey. Are you going home na?" tanong ni Kyra sa binatang naka silip sa pinto.

"Uhm, nope. Not yet. We were actually waiting for you guys to finish cleaning your classroom." he smiled softly.

Zeph's heart skipped a best when he saw Kyra walking towards him.

"You've got a dirt on your forehead." she wiped the dirt with her handkerchief.

The young lad can smell the sweet strawberry smell of Kyra's perfume.

"There. Much better." she fixed his hair and smiled softly showing her cute dimples.

Zeph stared at her. It seems like the young man was star strucked by the young lady who's in front of him right now.

He got attracted by the way her eyes smiles when her lips curve into a smile.

"Tapusin ko lang mag ayos ng upuan, ah?" paalam ng dalagita.

"Ah- Ky, can I ask you something?" hinila ni Zeph ang kanang braso ng dalaga.

"Hmm? What is it?"
