A DARE TO YOU

CHAPTER 7

Chimon P. O. V

as I woke up I can't stop my self but to smile at kiligin. grabe, I still can't believe that I had a date with Nanon. hindi pa rin nag si-sink in na I finally got a chance to have a date with him. dati iniisip ko lang what would it be and how would it feel but now, I already know it. sobrang saya at sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam. his smiles and lame jokes gave warmth of my heart. he's careful with me same to his words, grabe, I didn't know that I would fall this deeply to him.

but somehow I feel sorry for him. he's tired yet he still asked me to have dinner with him because he wanted to know me. when we watched frozen I know that he's sleeping, I just let it pass because I know that he's tired.

plus yung pag mamaneho niya nang motor, why he's so hot driving that? parang may kumikiliti sa akin whenever I saw him driving that motorcycle, it's making him more attractive than already he is.

I sighed with a smile on my face and start stretching to do my morning routine at ngayon na rin ang simula nang pasukan namin. I have early class at we have entry ceremony and I also need to double check my schedule there.

I smile on the air once again and start wanders at my room when my eyes landed on one figure that was standing now besides the door with disgust in his eyes.

"what the fuck." says Frank who walked away and looking like he was creep out at my behavior.

well, who wouldn't? I am known as a cold human who doesn't care nor give a fuck to them. half of it is true and half was not. I do have feelings and I don't like it when they're validating me to feel something. like, hey, I'm not robot to not to feel anything that related to humans. but I couldn't care less. isipin na gusto nila and I don't give a shit. they don't know anything other than that, walang kabago bago.

and of course Frank, he's my best of friends. same with Drake, I am friends with them. and if you're curious how Frank enter my room, he and Drake are the walking BDO, they always have ways to do something that others can't.

and here he is now, sitting on my sofa like it was his home. I just shake my head before heading on the kitchen to make something for the both of us. nag toast lang ako nang bread at nilagyan lang ito nang strawberry jam and bring coffee for us.

naupo ako sa harapan nito at inilapag ang inihanda kong pag kain para sa aming dalawa. 

"just wanted you to know, kagabi pa ako rito." saad ni Frank bago inumin ang inilapag kong ice coffee for us.

tinignan ko ito at naka-tingin din ito sa akin, then maya maya bigla nalang kaming natawa sa isa't-isa.

this is why I am friends with him. we don't really have quite such in common but our humour we're kind of same. we made jokes na minsan kami lang nakaka-alam and that's makes people confused when we were laughing our ass off. literally, no one can understand our joke until we detailed everything. and good thing, kahit papano alam ni Drake sinasabi o inaakto namin.

"so... how's the night?" tanong nito habang naka focus sa cellphone niya habang ako ay kumakain na ng bread habang nag babasa ng favorite book ko.

"huh?" I asked confusedly without looking up and getting more curious on the book.

napansin kong gumalaw si Frank at itinigil saglit ang pag c-cellphone bago muling mag salita, "how's the date I mean."

doon niya na naagaw ang atensyon ko. I almost dropped my last bite of bread pero bago pa mangyari yun inagaw na agad ni Frank iyon.

he smiled sheepishly at me and I gave him a lame one. "pinag sasabi mo?" tanong ko rito at iniligpit na ang pinag kainan namin.

he sighed, "you know what I am talking about, Chi."

tumayo ito at nag tungo sa tabi ko at marahan na inalis ako sa sink at siya na ang nag hugas ng pinggan. "maligo ka na muna, we have early class."

tinignan ko ito at tumango lang ito. I just shake my head because of disbelief at sinunod nalang ang sinabi nito. ngayon na lang ulit nag insist na mag hugas si Frank kaya alam kong nag aantay siya nang kwento.

well, I won't tell the full detail and leave the most memorable to me.

I hope everything would be fine. this college life, I hope it'll be more easier to me. I've been hard to my self just to get a high grades and satisfied my self just to know that I still have worth here. hindi porket class honor na ay may utak talaga. some are just maintaining such goal to satisfy them selves or to prove that they did well and I am one of them. sobrang hirap din, it wasn't my cup of tea to over study or what pero need e, need ko malaman na I did my best at studying.

I just sighed the frustration I feel at binilisan nalang na matapos sa banyo. after an hour or so tapos na rin ako.

nag bihis na ako ng uniform namin at nag ayos sa sarili bago lumabas sa kwarto ko at puntahan si Frank na ngayon ay nanunuod ng Tom and Jerry.

"hoy! tara na" pag aya ko rito at kinuha na ang gamit ko habang siya ay iniayos ang pinanuodan niya at nag lakad na sa pintuan para lumabas.

while we're walking to his car, he stopped and look at me, "daanan muna natin si Drake at huwag kana rin mag bike." tinanguan ko nalang ito at sumakay na sa likuran kasi alam kong aagawin din ni Drake ang passenger sit.

we talked habang papunta kami sa place ni Drake. some were family problems and business until it turned into something funny years ago that happened to us, mostly kay Drake and hoping for him na hindi mabulunan or something kasi siya talaga pinag-uusapan namin. not until Frank noticed something on me.

he looked at me on the rear mirror at pinanliitan ako nang mata hanggang napadpad ito sa kamay ko where I put the ring.

Oh! crap! I forgot to take it off.

I looked away when Frank still looking at me and later on, iniiwas na rin niya tingin nya at nakita na namin si Drake.

"Wassup man!" Drake greeted us as soon as he entered the car. "I've bought you guys a meal. kain muna tayo sa cafeteria pag dating before we check our sched, we still have time pa naman e."

tumango ako at pati na rin si Frank at nag daldalan nalang ulit kami.

"what's your section, Chim?" Drake asked.

"still 1-A. how about you two?" I asked while munching the fries while dipping it at the burgers ketchup mixed with mayonnaise.

they looked at each other and give me a big smile, "of course! 1-A rin!"

napangiti ako sa sinabi nila at nag kwentuhan nalang ulit kami with our past school year. minutes had passed and Drake noticed something on me.

kinunutan ako nito ng noo before he pointed out the ring that I was wearing. "kanino yan?" tanong niya

tinignan ko ang singsing at hinawakan ito at pinaikot sa daliri ko. this ring suits me well. parang isinadya para lamang sa daliri ko.

wala naman akong balak itago ito sa mga kaibigan ko kasi after all, they know that I've been crushing to Nanon. they even tell me to move the glass but I can't, I'm just glad that his friends chose to bugged me and he went through it. thanks to his friend.

tumingin ako sa dalawa kong kaibigan and I smiled at them. "sa akin 'to."

they looked so puzzle so I chuckles.

"impossible. you're not that type. you hate wearing accessories tho?" Drake said.

he's right. I hate wearing jewelries or whatsoever. it makes me feel itchy or feel something tickling around my body that's why I don't wear any if it's not that important or it is not that giving impression with.

but this ring is special to me, I have a couple ring with Nanon and that's what it makes so special.

"just say that someone also had this one." I said and smiled to them.

hindi na sila nag intriga pa at napadpad na kami sa univ.

I hope this day will be fine. thanks!
