CHAPTER 7: THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
3 DAYS BEFORE JULY 13
"HUWAG KANG MAGMADALI, dahan-dahan lang." I reminded him.
"Like this?"
"Yes, now do it faster."
"Baka sumabog."
Agad ko siyang hinampas. "Don't say that!"
"Can I be honest with you, Luce?"
"What's that?"
"I don't think may nasabugan na habang gumagawa ng slime." Natatawa niyang sabi.
We're currently in Chemistry class. Nasa lab kami, gumagawa ng experiment. Every meeting kasi ay nag e-experiment kami ng kung ano-ano. Last meeting kasi yung ginagawa nung isang group biglang sumabog, mahina lang naman pero natakot parin ako. Ayokong masabugan mukha at outfit ko 'no!
Iba-iba ang partner namin every meeting. Hindi ko alam kung malas ako o swerte dahil ka-partner ko ngayon si Donovan. So far, okay naman ang interaction namin.
Medyo napa-praning ako kaya kahit slime lang ang ginagawa namin, cautious parin ako. I practice BCC--Better Cautious than Cry later!
Ngayon ay naglalagay lang kami ng saline solution pero halos ibuhos niya na lahat kanina kaya sinabihan ko siyang dahan-dahan niya lang ilagay. Buti naman nakinig ang loko.
Napangiwi ako. "Why did it turn gooey?"
I turned to look at the slime of other people at napansin kong maayos naman yung sa iba. I turned to look at ours again and frowned.
"May mali ba tayong ginawa?" I asked, looking at him with my eyebrows furrowed.
He shrugged his shoulders and studied the instructions on the paper given to us by our professor. I couldn't look away from his face.
Bakit may ganitong ka-perfect na tao?
"Siguro naparami yung lagay natin ng saline solution."
Maganda naman ako ah? Bakit hindi niya nireturn ang feelings ko for him?
"Luce?"
Nang mapansin ko na nakatitig siya saakin ay nanlaki ang mata ko. Sa sobrang pagkahiya na nahuli niya akong nakatitig sakanya ay hindi ko alam anong sumapi saakin at pinunas ko sa pisngi niya ang kamay kong may goo.
His face contorted with surprise. I was about to apologize when he suddenly grinned and wiped my face with the goo in his hands. I snatched more goo from the container and threw it on his face, but it fell to his clothes instead.
"Ah ganyanan." He smirked, his voice teasing. Agad niya akong nilapitan kaya wala akong nagawa kundi tumakbo palayo. Paikot-ikot kami sa station namin habang nagtatawanan na para bang mga bata.
