Scent Of My Memories (Complete)

Chapter 3

Let's Be Friends?

Drew's POV

NANDITO ako sa cafeteria kumakain ng mag-isa. Mahigit isang linggo na ang lumipas mula nong nagkasagutan sina Xenon at Professor Storm.

He has some guts out there. May point naman siya pero may kasalanan din naman kami. He just turned the tables like it was nothing.

Ewan ko ba, 'di ko man maamin sa ngayon pero namangha ako sa kaniyang inisip. He's like a manipulator.

Pero kahit na namamangha ako sa kaniya ay hindi ko din maalis-alis ang galit sa kaniya. Hindi ko alam pero parang may malaking atraso siya sa akin. Wala akong kaalam-alam kung ano 'yon dahil ngayon ko lang siya nakilala.

Naudlot ang aking pag iisip nang may taong naglagay kaniyang tray sa aking harapan.

He has chinky eyes like mine, brown skintone and a well defined physique.

He is something.

Something that is very familiar.

"Hey there." He then smiles at me.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"Oh, nothing. I'm not used to see people who eats their snacks alone." Umupo ito at nagsimulang kumain.

"It's none of your business."

"It is!", he interjects while his mouth is full. "I want to see people get along with others. I don't want them to feel lonely."

Medyo napangiwi ako dahil puno ang kaniyang bunganga ng pagkaon, pero may punto din naman ang kaniyang sinabi.

Well, he has his reasons though.

"Are you some kind of an officer here?" I ask.

Nilunok niya muna ang kaniyang kinain at sinagot ang aking tanong.

"An SSG officer."

If he's an officer here then he is well-known here.

I have nothing to say so I just nodded.

He reached his hand to me, "I'm Reese, Reese Lawrence Luster."

Maligalig ko naman itong tinanggap at nakipagkamay din. I might as well introduce myself then, "Drew Lancer Saints."

"Santos?" He looked at me, weirdly.

"Yeah, but in English. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ito ang surname namin pero wala namang problema."

"May problema talaga!", he said to me eye to eye.

"Lalo na kung mapunta ang apilyedo mo sa mga taong may ugaling basagulero."

"Are you saying that I'm an idiot?", I exclaimed.

"No! Not like that," he then chuckles.

"I mean, paano kung ang apilyedo mo ay mapunta sa isang taong ubod ng sama ang ugali? It's very ironic to imagine that. A holy-like surename of a person with a demonic attitude. That sounds crazy."

Napaisip ako sa kaniyang sinabi. Tama naman siya. It will contradict the surename if his/her attitude is like a devil incarnate.

"You have a point there.", I agreed.

He just chuckled, "So, what strand are you in?"

"STEM, class A-1"

"Oh, so you're Frost's classmate.", he stated.

I nodded.

"You know, he is something. Kakaiba siya sa mga taong nakilala ko. He is found to hide every emotion."
