"Flegrei"
I was taken aback from my reverie as my name breathed in a raucous manner. Campi Flegrei is my name. Yes, you heard it right. My parents were probably too stoned to name me after the most dangerous volcano resting in Italy.
"Campi Flegrei nakikinig ka ba?"
Full name, he's already annoyed and I don't mind calling me by my full name. I want them to know how dangerous I am.
I rolled my eyes, and sucked my lollipop out.
"Kairo nasabi mo na yan kahapon through phone." I rested my arms at the back of my head and rested my crossed long legs at the capacious table in front of me.
He crossed his arms, and scowled at me.
Kairo's my best friend for like eternity. If you think I'm fond of having a guy best friend and this story revolves in a friend zone love story, then you're wrong. Kairo's a man but woman in heart.
A lot of people think that we're dating, well I don't blame them. Kairo's a combination of hot and cute, with his chinky captivating eyes, to his pointed nose, chiseled jaw but with a narrow heart shaped lips, everybody will stare in a lecherous manner. He's tall with pale skin and his shoulders are wide like a hot man, everybody would instantly think that he's a straight guy.
"De Asis quit staring, you're disgusting." maarte ngunit may diin niyang sabi.
I sighed and glanced at my phone that is chiming incessantly.
"Levi?" tanong niya with glimmering eyes, crush niya kasi. Break na rin naman kami, masyadong mabait kaya pinakawalan ko. Sabi ko nga patusin niya lalo na't wala pa naman atang bago, 'yun ay kung papatulan siya.
"Eros" I corrected him, pertaining to the last guy I entertained.
"The guy from PUA?"
I shrugged, pinagdiskitahan ko na lamang ang lumiliit na lollipop sa aking bibig.
"Flegrei, stop entertaining guys from Polytechnic University of A Coruña, alam mo mas matunog pa pangalan mo doon, and you're not even studying there." He sassily said
"Dito na lang sa Compuv kung ganoon?" I suggested ngunit may bahid ng sarkasmo, smile was plastered on my lips.
"You're hopeless De Asis, and what? sa akin ka magtatago 'pag na ghost mo na?" He harshly rolled his eyes.
I shrugged and pouted my lips.
"Binibining De Asis?" I glanced at the woman who breathed my name in a soft manner. I quickly fixed my seat, and threw my remaining lollipop.
"Profesora Alba" I greeted.
"Hindi ba't ikaw yung estudyante kong mahilig kumuha ng litrato?" tanong niya, wari'y hindi makalimutan ang mga araw na hawak ang digital camera sa klase niya, na madalas niya namang ipagsawalang bahala.
Mabait naman si Profesora Alba, mahinhin pero madalas magbigay ng bagsak na grado sa mga estudyante, mabuti na lang at madalas naman ang pagbibigay niya ng nobenta sa akin.
"Si, Profesora, bakit niyo natanong?" Tinaasan ko ng kilay si Kairo na takang nakatingin sa mahinhin na Profesora.
"Alam kong libre ka sa huwebes, kailangan ko kasi ng kukuha ng litrato sa el paraninfo para sa gaganaping dulaan."
"Mula sa anong kurso Profesora?" Tanong ko, nagbabakasakaling hindi mula sa iniiwasan ko.
"Mga estudyante mula sa Accounting"
Bahagya kaming nagkatinginan ni Kairo. His face distorted in disgust.
"Ikaw lang kasi ang maaasahan ko De Asis" dagdag niya pa.
