Stars of the School

Chapter 54: Something New

Sophia's P.O.V.
After the science class(by the way, I hate you Coulomb), pumunta na 'ko sa bahay nila Charles. If you're thinking na gusto sumama nila Emily and Angelie, yes they did want. Pero di na 'ko pumayag. I just want him to gumaling na. Honestly, he looks pitiful. At syempre, nagsimula na naman silang i-ship kaming dalawa. Those bitches talaga.

Anyway, nung nandun na 'ko, nagtaka ako kase di ko na kailangan kumatok. I just twisted the knob and nakapasok na 'ko, even on his real home.

"Charles.", tawag ko sa kaniya. I closed the door behind me.

Tumambad agad sa paningin ko si Charles na nakahiga sa sofa at nakatikip yung mukha niya with our Science book. Great. Just, great. Sinabihan ko na kasing wag magbasa. Sasakit na naman ulo nito.

"Charles.", inalis ko yung libro at lumuhod ako sa tabi ng sofa at niyugyog siya lightly.

"M-mom....", he said then he caressed my hair with his eyes still shut. Nang bumukas ang mata niya, nagulat siya. "Oh sorry. I thought it was....", he sat up straight habang kinakati ang ulo. "Sorry na-tempt ako magbasa hehehe.", sabi niya.

I rolled my eyes. "It's okay. Lahat naman tayo natutukso. Buti ka pa nga sa pagaaral natutukso eh.", I said while sitting on one of the chairs. "Kamusta na ulo mo? Masakit pa?", tanong ko sa kaniya.

"Yeah. Medyo kumikirot-kirot", sagot niya.

"Di ba? Sinong tanga? Kaya nga di kita pinapabasa.", sabi ko habang may nilalabas na plastic sa bag ko. I looked at him and I received a glaring look.

"Oh eto. Eat up bitch.", abot ko sa kaniya.

"Bakit ka bumili? You don't have to, you know.", sabi niya sa'kin. He seems kinda upset.

"Ikaw na nga binilhan.", I said with a mocking tone.

"Wala lang medyo nakokonsensya lang ako.", he said while looking down.

What's with him? He sounds so vulnerable all of a sudden.

"You don't have to. It is my own will na bilhan ka ng pagkain. And, I don't want you acting like that. Kailangan mong magpagaling para may kaaway na ulit ako.", I smirked.

"Oh? Is that what you want? Fine. I thought we'll have something new.", sagot niya sa'kin.

"What do you mean?", I asked.

"Smoother conversations. Something like that. Pero ayaw mo--edi wag.", sabi niya habang nag-irap. Finally, he's cold again.

"Yah I don't want it. Oh and also, you need to teach me na so get well now.", I said.

"Being commanded by a spoiled brat is the last thing I wanted.", he smirked.

"Sucks to be you.", I said with folded arms and a smirk.

Tumayo siya sa harapan ko at linapit niya yung mukha niya habang tinatanggal yung salamin niya. "We'll see who will really regret.", he said habang sinusuot sa 'kin yung salamin niya. Argh I hate his demeanor. I love that I hate it.

Lumayo siya at naglakad paalis habang nagtatanggal ng uniform. Hmph, showy. Masyado siyang showy sa katawan niya.

"Are you sure maliligo ka na? Aren't you even a little bit cold?", I asked. I can feel my annoyance cracking out of my voice.

He just stood there and he...took of his pants. So, the motherfucker turned at me with just boxers on and he replied: "I can manage.", with an intimidating look.

"You're so bold for doing that. Your body doesn't even look that good.", I said.

"I am not 'showcasing' my body--this is my home. I do what I want to do. You're just a tutor, someone who lacks information on a certain academic area.", he explained with a condescending tone. "Oh and by the way, bakit mo tinitignan katawan ko?", he smiled. "Thanks for the meal!", pahabol niya pa bago tuluyan ng umalis.
