XXXIV: A DAY WITH MCSTEAMY

Jaceton and I ate our lunch inside the cafeteria.

Hindi man lang kami makakain ng maayos dahil sa mga junior girls and some seniors na panay ang lapit kay Jaceton.

At first, we're sitting across each other. After 3 batches of girls who came by our table who gave Jaceton some gifts of appreciation, Jaceton moved on the chair beside me.

"When will these fuckers leave me the fuck alone?" he said, stabbing his now murdered upside down cake from his tray.

I chuckled and looked away from him. And in here, approacheth the one and only Georgina Marie and her two little devils.

"Hi Jaceton. Would you like to go to my brother's party this coming Friday night?" she flirtatiously said while twirling her hair and not acknowledging my presence.

Jaceton glared at her and I think, she doesn't get the hint. She sat over the table, crossing her legs and twirled a bit to face Jaceton. "So, are you going?" she crossed her arms. She was crossing both of her arms and legs, I don't think I'll ever stop myself from imagining her face crossed out with charcoal or by anything gross.

"Leave. I don't want to talk to a whore. And don't you ever call me that again. Better yet never ever think of starting a conversation with me again. Ever." Jaceton said and that made everyone gasp including me. Did he just said that?

I looked at him as shocked as I can be and I looked at Georgina who looked taken aback but composed herself and glared at me. Now she acknowledged my presence.

"There's no better whore here than you Stone." she said and walked away with her friends.

I rolled my eyes. Now ako na naman ang pag-iinitan ng mga yon.

"Great. Now sigurado na akong magkakaroon na naman ako ng another trip to the detention room with the devil herself." I said sarcastically.

"That'll never happen again as long as I'm here." Jaceton said and looked at me.

The feels. This past few days, I always catch Jaceton looking at me and he would just avert his gaze all over again.

I like Jaceton. And I don't know why.

Wala syang ibang ginawa noon kung hindi inisin, pikunin, o awayin ako noon. But I never really hated the guy.

He's charming, and endearing, and I'm comfortable.

"Anong gusto mong gawin? We have exactly two hours and twenty-two minutes left." he asked as he held my hand again and massaged the back of my hand with his thumb.

I just shrugged. I don't really have any place in my mind. I just wanna stay like this with him as of the moment.

"We can go rest at the rooftop. I am always up there whenever I don't go into class. We've set up some chairs and folding beds up there. Would you like to go up?"

"Let's go." I smiled and we went hand in hand to the said rooftop.

"Wow." is all I can say.

I looked at Jaceton and he smirked at me. He motioned for me to sit beside him.

Umupo ako sa tabi nya at inilabas ni Jaceton ang phone nya. "Do you want to listen to some music?"

"Okay." he gave me the other part of the earphone that he have and we listened to his playlist for an hour. He's got a good taste in music.

"If this is love, then love is easy. It's the easiest thing to do. If this is love, love completes me. 'Cause it feels like I've been missing you." Jaceton sang the song like the original singers.

"Sinong kumanta nito?" I asked him.

Napatingin ako sa kanya nang hawakan nya yung kamay ko. "McFly. They are my favorite band besides Busted, and My Chemical Romance."

"I love this song. It suits your voice, Jaceton."

He smiled. The fucker smiled.

And the fucker shines when he smiled.

I am infatuated.
