Birthstone Academy: School of Ríoga

Epilogue

When I first met her at the cafeteria, I've never been so amazed, siya ang unang babaeng nagmatapang sa akin. I can't feel any anger at that time even though he called me 'ugly jerk'.

"Hoy! Hindi mo ba ako nakita?! Ako ang nauna sayo sa pila! Can you please get out of my way, ugly jerk!"

Gusto kong matawa dahil pagkaharap na pagkaharap ko ay natulala siya, ugly jerk, huh? I scanned her look, she's wearing a long sleeve and a skirt. Her hair.. it's so wavy, ang liit ng mukha niya, kasing liit ng height niya. Then I realized that she's just a newbie, she's not even wearing a bracelet.

"I'm the person you will not wish to know about." I smirked when I turned my back at her.

I wish I will see her around, again.

First day of school when I found out that she's my classmate in organization and management. Laging first day of school kapag pinag pe-pair ng mga head ang sezione ng aquamarine and ruby, we're making it traditionally every school year. As a student council's president, I know everything about their rules, pero hindi ako pwedeng mangealam sa pairings nila. Damn, ni minsan wala man lang napunta sa'kin na matino.

"So it means, mister president.. meet your partner, miss Leslie Venice Peralta."

I smirked, I guess I'm so lucky this time.

"S-Saan? I-I mean, saan yung CR niyo?"

Napangisi ako when I noticed that she's stuttering, that's why I planned to tease her. We're inside the student council's room, I explained the rules and regulations to her after we found out that we're partner for this whole school year.

"There's no comfort room here. Why don't you change your clothes here, instead?"

We didn't win, I expect that, tho. She already said that she's not even playing sports, pero naniniwala akong balang araw ay matututo at gagaling rin siya. We just need more practice, she's a beginner, normal lang iyon.

Nang minsan ay hindi niya ako hinintay, that's why I decided to barge in to her room, and that's the first time na may pinasukan akong ibang kwarto. I can go wherever I want to, maski hindi ko ka-sezione. Nnadatnan ko siyang gumagawa ng presentation niya. I feel so guilty, because ako ang nagsabi sa mga teachers na siya ang gawing pang una sa mga presentations.

"Can you please don't shout? They will think that someone's raping you, damn."

Natumba kami sa sahig, our position is so damn awkward, mas lalo pa noong bumukas yung pintuan. Si Luke ang pumasok, he's my frienemy. I already know that they're siblings, I know all the background profiles of the student here. Alam ko rin na gusto lang protektahan ng pamilya nila si Leslie, that's why Ruby lang siya nang makapasok dito. In the world of business, hindi talaga maiiwasan ang mga ganong bagay, dahil ang iba ay gagawin ang lahat para sila naman ang tumaas, in a clean or dirty way.

"Hindi ka pa ba matutulog?"

"Tss."

"Matutulog na kasi ako. Hehe."

I don't know why but I'm starting to like the smell of her room. I just want to stay here everyday, watch her sleep all night, saka ako aalis pag inaantok na rin ako.

"I'm sorry."

"Ano bang trip mo ha?! Kanina ka pa ah!"

"Don't shout. Sorry na nga."

This is our first argument, tuluyan na talaga siyang nainis sa'kin. My heart melts when I saw her crying, sobra yung iyak niya na parang bata. First time ko rin mag sorry ng ganto. I even asked for Nathaniel's help, sabi ko i-lock niya kami dito dahil siguradong lalayasan lang ako ni Leslie, sinadya ko rin iwan ang cellphone ko. Damn girl, what are you doing to me? Noong una ay trip ko lang talaga siya lokohin, inisin at asarin kagaya ng mga ginagawa ko sa mga iba kong mga naka pair noon pero habang tumatagal ay parang nararamdan ko na iba siya, iba siya sa mga babaeng nakaka partner ko, even with my ex.
