"LET'S GO?" Aya niya sa akin dahil mas nauna akong natapos sa library. Kahit palusot ko lang 'yon, tinuloy ko na rin tutal kailangan ko rin naman talaga mag-advance study para sa upcoming event. I nodded my head and went by his side.

"Kumusta naman kayong mga student council?" I asked while walking.

"Everyone's stressed out, lalo na si Reyes, pero kaya niya naman 'yon. I heard they need volunteers for the eve—"

"oh! I could volunteer? I mean, I'm not really busy after us being the representative, so maybe, I could sign up?" I told him then smiled.

"Up to you" he just said. "By the way, how are we get there?" he added.

"papahatid tayo kay Kuya Ben." I simply said after sending our driver a message to pick me up sa front gate.

"Text him again, we'll go there. I'll drive" nagulat ako pero agad agad din itinext si kuya dahil baka bigla siyang dumating.

Habang naglalakad kami papunta sa parking ay 'di ko maiwasang, 'di maisip na magkasama kami ngayon. Marami rin ang nakatingin saamin ngayon which I like but I really don't. but, he's too good looking. I can't blame not too look in his face. Masyado siyang biniyaan ni Lord at alam kong 'tong simpleng pagkagusto ko sakanya ay pwede pang lumala kung lagi kaming magkakasama.

"Hop in" sabi niya. Hindi ko na namalayan na nasa tapat na kami ng benz niya. I really like the model of his car. Siguro dahil na rin sa mga pinsan kong lalaki kaya nahilig ako sa mga kotse. If there's one thing I wanna buy for myself soon is an Aston Martin.

After closing the shotgun's door, he went to the driver's and went inside. He started the engine pero hindi pa naka – drive 'yung kotse. He looked for his cord and connected his phone to his music.

"suit yourself. Play for the song that you like" I said thanks while looking for a chill vibe song.

"Let's go?" I smiled and he drove off.

PUMASOK kami sa isang kilalang shop to look for any possible outfit sa upcoming event. Since yearly naman ginagawa yung event, medyo ginanahan na rin ako mag-ayos dahil ngayon lang naman ulit ako pumayag na maging isa sa representative. Kadalasan kasi ay sa ibang event ako nagre-rep tulad ng yearly school tour, elections bilang muse rep ng school at iba pang outside school events.

"Hello Sir! Hello Ma'am, How could we help you?" I gestured no dahil mas gusto ko iyong tatawagin ko na lang sila kung may kailangan ako. Pakiramdam ko kasi kapag palaging may nakasunod ay nakakailang pumili.

"I'm just gonna sit here and wait for you. Go and choose the outfit that you like." He said.

"Aren't you gonna pick? I might help you" I offered. "Ikaw muna." Sagot niya kaya naman tumango ako.

Since this is a formal event and we are the representatives. I picked it in a neutral palette. Two dresses and an office type look. Tinawag ko ang isang sales lady para kunin ang mga isusukat ko. After picking my choice of clothes, I looked at Ryland and he just nods his head.

Sa loob ng fitting room, hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti na magkasama kami ngayon. I mean, yes, this is a simple crush! I admire him for the brains that he have plus the looks! Pero hindi naman masama 'di ba? Hindi ko pa naman nilalandi. Hindi pa.

I went out and told him na pwede na siyang pumili. He stood up and went to the suit rack, may naka assist sakanya kaya kinausap ko yung isang sales lady para ibigay ang kailangan ko at tumingin na rin ako if may magustuhan pa akong iba.

Dumiretso siya sa fitting room kaya naman nagkaroon ako ng tsansa para pumili ng iba pang damit. I picked a beige strapped dress na medyo showy sa likod and a simple navy blue na above the knee na pwedeng i-pair sa white heels.

"Boyfriend niyo po ba 'yon, Ma'am?"

I laughed and gestured 'no' "No, he's not my boyfriend"

"Pero, bagay po kayo! Gusto ko nga po magpa-picture sakanya!" malanding sabi ng sales lady.

"Ask him, If he wants to" maikli kong sagot at agad binigay ang isang brown na stiletto sakanya para bigyan ako ng size ko.

He went out and everything stopped.

Chiseled jaw, alluring eyes, thin rosy lips... He looks perfect.

"You're drooling, Sedillo" bumalik lang ako sa ulirat noong sinabi niya 'yon. Did I drool? Unti-unti ko tuloy kinapa if totoo, pero hindi naman!

This guy!

"Is this good?"

"Yup! I'll choose your neck tie!" tapos pumunta ako sa tie section para pumili ng babagay sa suot niyang three piece suit na color beige din.

WHEN everything is settled, we went out and kumain sa isang fast food restaurant, noong una ay ayaw niya pa pero nagc-crave din naman kasi ako ng...nuggets.

"Thanks for accompanying me," I said after our meal.

"No worries, I had fun" I smiled and looked at him. Hindi naman malalaman nila Kuya na lumabas ako 'no? Walang issue naman sana pagka uwi ko, 'di ba?

"Are you excited about our school? Ire-represent ulit natin?" Tanong ko para hindi naman masyadong tahimik.

"Not really since we're doing it yearly pero maybe this year will make me"

PAGKATAPOS naming kumain ay hindi ko na sinabi na ihatid niya ako dahil baka makita nila kuya at baka gisahin ako. Or, baka nandoon yung mga pinsan ko and baka ako ang maging topic. I told him that I'll book a grab para hindi na rin siya mahirapan at makauwi na kaagad. He insists pero humindi na ako kahit gusto ko, sapat na saakin ang nakasama siya ngayon.

"I guess, I'll see you in school?" He asked and I nod.

"Thank you for today, Ryland"

Pabukas na sana ako ng pinto nang bigla niya akong tinawag ulit kaya nilingon ko siya.

"What's your deal, Sedillo?"

"Ha?" I was caught off guard that I went in kaagad. Nahahalata na ba niya? Pero mukhang hindi naman...Maybe this is the start.
