Beyond Limits

Chapter 3

I arrived at Peyton Mindanao University an hour before my first period. I don't have anything to do at home, maybe doing my assignment in the library is a good start to begin my day. Just like what I've said I am not a competitive student and to make it safe I am an average learner. Among my circle of friends Ayah is the one who always do good in academic while Khalesie is the sporty one. Sa sobrang sporty niya iba na ata napaglaruan at sa kasamaang palad ibang laro napasukan. 

I entered the library quietly and smiled to those who greet me 'Good Morning' I present my Library ID to the incharge and  looked for the book that can help me in my assignment. I may not that good in academic but I made sure to comply all the requirements to graduate on time.

While  peacefully reading the book I notice someone grab the chair in front of me and sat there, I didn't mind though.

" Goodmorning, Kinsley!"  I didn't bother to look at the person in front of me and greet him instead para naman hindi ako ma label na rude.

" Hello, Goodmorning!" I answered without taking my eyes off to what I am reading.

"You didn't reply '' That caught my attention. I immediately removed my eye glasses and look at the person right across me.

" Ha—nong ginagawa mo dito?" I was caught off guard upon  seeing him, of all people na makikita ko bakit siya pa ang nagpakita ngayong hindi ko dala ang jacket niya. Anong idadahilan ko na nandoon pa sa kama ko at hindi ko pa nalalabhan kasi suot ko ito natulog kagabi? That didn't sound good para naman akong tangang may crush sa kanya kung sasabihin ko 'yan.

" Study? it's a library " He said while looking around. Tarantado to ah!

" uh! Obviously!!" I said sarcastically almost rolling my eyes. Sabi ko nga hindi matinong kausap itong taong 'to.

" So, your answer?" akala ko nakalimutan na niya stop asking me please I don't know what to tell you.

'' May tinatanong ka ba?" pabalang kong sagot, it's the only way to make this conversation dull para matapos na.

"You want me to repeat my question yesterday?"

Nataranta ako sa sinabi nya kaya kinuha ko ang phone ko at nagkunwaring may tumatawag

" Yes, hellow Tham! ""Ahh yess nandito ako sa University Li—" pero bago ko pa matapos ang sinasabi ko my phone rang and it's Khale. Bwisit wrong timing ang bruha! I heard a chuckle in front of me. Gosh! Para akong tanga kanina. I just ignored him and start fixing my things. May klase na ako in 10 minutes at malayo pa ang CAS dito.

" I really need to go" I announced and I didn't wait for his answer and start walking. He followed me and asked the same question.

" Your answer miss? " I looked at him irritated while he smiled in amusement.

" You really like bugging me? I already made clear what happened last day was an accident " I smiled. Wala bang klase ang taong ito?

" Answer? "  Di ba talaga papatalo to? Seryoso siya?

I walk fast and left him but to no avail he just keep following me. I turned around and stared at him. Kinamot nya ang batok niya and smiled shyly. Cute!

" Okay fine! Friends" extending my hands for formality but he hugged me instead. Speed!

"Huy!" Nakakairitang halakhak lang ang sagot niya.

Iniwan ko nalanh siya doon habang hindi pa nalilimutan ang pagyakao niya.

" Saan ka galing? " Ayah asked seriously.

" Goodmorning too, Ayah " I greet her while smiling.

" Aba good mood ata friend mo, Ayah! " Khalesie said at baka halata ata na masaya ako so to hide this glee I made a serious face talking to them.

" Bakit ba?! Hindi pa naman ako late ah! " I said plainly rolling my eyes

" Anong hindi late? Ate girl I just want to inform you that ma'am asked for a make up class last time, so apparently we had a class a while ago and as for you, dear friend you were marked absent" sabi ni Khale na parang iritang irita dahil hindi ako naka attend sa klase. Oo, nga nakalimutan ko na may make up class at ang masaklap pa ang aga ko dito sa school dumating.

"Tapos darating kang all smiles? Wow girl, wala kang klase?" Ayah said while eyeing me reading my every move.

" Someone said na nakita ka raw nilang dumating ng maaga, where have you been? "

" What?!"

I looked at them with disbelief bakit hindi nila sinabi sa akin? Wala na akong magagawa kaya inirapan ko nalang sila at naghanap ng bakanteng upuan para sa klase ni Maam Mel. Hindi ko sasabihin saan ako galing at wala akong balak sabihin ang nangyari kanina lalo na at kinikilig sila sa ginawa ni Zahir last time sa canteen.Pagkatapos ng klasile nagkayayaan sila na pupuntang canteen kaya sumama nalang ako sa kanila.

"Oh! Baka itulak mo nanaman ako niyan, Ayah. Lakasan mo naman ata at siguraduhin mong maysasalo sa akin, ha? Sayang lang at hindi mo nilakasan nong nakaraan, girl. Sayang talaga" Sinabi ko 'yon habang dahan dahang umupo sa upuan para hindi masira ang pag plansa sa uniform ko. The three of us are wearing our uniform so dapat galawang modernong Maria Clara.

"Sigii ba! Ano tulak ka namin ulit? Saan mo ba gusto? Drop a name" She said while both of them is laughing. Anong problema nila? Ipinagsawalang bahala ko nalang at sinabayan ang katarantaduhan nila.

"Pwedi sa Captain ulit? " I asked laughing. Nanlaki ang mata nilang dalawa at ngumiti.

" Crush mo? " Tanong ni Khalesi at napakindat pa kay Ayah

"Noon" I said at nagsigawan silang dalawa kaya nakuha namin ang atensyan ng halos buong tao sa canteen.

"Tumahimik nga kayo parang tanga naman to" saway ko sa kanila habang nakatingin sa paligid surveying if someone heard our conversation. Ngunit, ganon nalang ang pamumutla ko habang nakatingin sa mga tao naka- upo sa kabilang table. Patay!

"They don't need to push you again, because I already fell" He said smirking and he continued talking with his friends. I looked at my friends who are now laughing. They knew?!!! Ano nga ulit pinagsasabi ko kanina?!!! Mga kaibigan ko ba to???
