I immediately fixed my things and leave the place I was in right now. Woah! That was an embarrassing situation. Why am I not thinking? Alam ko naman tarantado ang mga kaibigan ko of all people? Friends mo lang talaga ang papahamak sayo. I should have known better.

Pupunta nalang ako sa Market para doon bibili ng pagkain because,  honesly I'm really hungry. I picked my phone and called Tham, he answered it right away.

"Love" I said composing myself what to excuse para samahan niya ako. Ngunit ganon nalang pagkagulat ko ng may nagsalita sa likod ko.

"You have a boyfriend? " He said plainly looking at me intently. I ended the call immediately.

" I don't have" My phone beep and immediately read the message of Tham asking where I am and sent my reply.

" Denying, aren't we. That's bad, Lady" sabi niya na parang disappointed sa pagsisinungaling ko.

" Anong deny'deny? Wala naman talaga" He looked at me with unreadable expression. Anong problema nito?

" I thought I am your Crush" I was caught off guard with what he said. Gusto kong tumawa sa reaksyon niya na parang batang inagawan ng Candy at hindi ko nga napigilan tumawa na akong habang nakahawak sa tiyan ko.

"Was" I corrected him and winked. Sakto naman na nandyan na si Tham

" Love? " He said looking at me and looked at person I am with. His gazed then shifted to my direction asking why I was with this person. I know they knew each other. They are both from College of Enginnering. I just shrugged and get in his car.

"I thought she doesn't have a boyfriend? Love? Corny " I heard him murmuring  I chuckled with the thought of him getting jealous pero nawala rin 'yon dahil tunog assuming ato yun. Tham is looking at me intently na parang binabasa kung ano ang iniisip ko. He then laughed at tinukso ako.

"Ano?!"

"Uyyy! Dalaga na si Kinsley Xela, sumbong kita kay Paige" He's referring to my cousin which in turned  his ex but they are civil though. My phone beep and read the message from an unknown number

" You don't have a boyfriend, right? Let me court you then"

I kept on reading the message alam ko na kung kanino 'to galing. I am now recalling kung saan at kailan kami naging close. I know for sure na hindi niya ako kilala kung hindi lang dahil sa aksidente sa canteen ay malamang sa malamang hindi niya alam na nag e exist ako. Tapos ngayon malalaman ko na gusto niyang manligaw? Oh! common mighty and great, Zahir. You're playing in the wrong arena. Dapat sa basketball court lang siya naglalaro at wag na niya akong isali pa.

May susunod pa akong klase kaya binilisan namin ni Tham ang pagkain at baka malate na kaming dalawa. Hinatid niya ako CAS building dahil doon ang susunod kong klase, he gave me a peck on the cheeks before driving away. Habang papunta sa classroom I noticed someone leaning beside the window. Anong ginagawa niya dito? He is staring at me and looked my every move. nakakaconscious naman ang mga titig niya.

" What are you doing here? I'll just put it inside " showed him my things before entering the room. Ilalagay ko muna ang mga gamit ko sa loob. I saw Ayah and Khale wiggling their eyebrows while pointing the person outside using their lips.

" Kanina pa 'yan diyan" Ayah is informing me

" Hindi namin alam kung sino ang hinihintay at wala namang makapagtanong dahil natatakot sa aura niya. Ewan ko lang kung anong nakita at parang bad mood." Khalesie said that while looking at the person outside.

" Upo kana" Ayah offered the sit beside her.

" Wait lang kakausapin ko lang siya" I informed them. Tumingin sila sa akin na parang hindi naiintindihan ang sinabi ko, kaya iniwan ko nalang silang dalawa doon at lumabas na para makausap si Zahir. May 10 minutes pa bago mag- uumpisa ang klase ko.

" Wala kang klase ngayon?" I asked him while leading the way towards the bleachers, good thing alam niya ang ibig kong sabihin at sumunod sya sa akin wearing a dark aura while his hand is crossed over his chest. Sinipat ko ang suot niya, He is wearing a Red Polo shirt na may tatak na Logo ng College of Engineering and a Faded jeans paired with black sneakers. He's just wearing simple outfit but how can he slayed them?

" I know we will talk about the message you just sent" I said bravely looking at his eyes

" Nope" he said plainly wala talagang modo kausap ang taong ito.

" Then, why are you here? "

" I just want to checked on you. Who knows where would your 'LOVE' would bring you " He muttered those things while leaning on the post looking at me sitting. I laughed with what he said.

" Are you playing?"

" Of course not"

" Then what are you doing?"

" Courting?" I giggled with what he just said and saw his brows furrowed. Parang di sure?

"Stop playing around, okay? " I immediately stood up to attend my class because I saw my teacher entered the room already.

Parang naglalaro lang talaga siya anong akala niya maniniwala ako? Never!

" Why are you following me again"? I asked him smiling parang pikon na pikon na siya dahil hindi ako naniniwala.

"I'll follow you whenever i wanted. Let me walk you to your room, lady " He said closing the gap between us and held my waist. Para akong na estatwa sa ginawa niya kaya iniwas ko ang katawan ko but he just pulled me without effort and smiled boyishly.

"I'll court you" he whispered before finally walking away. It's a statement and not a question. .
