Irritated.
That's what I feel right now, so I decided to just walk out of this four cornered cage- I mean classroom.
Nakakarindi. I may be loud at times but I'm sure not as loud as them. And when I say loud, daig pa ang nag babattle of the sounds sa pagka bungangera nitong mga kaklase ko.
Katatapos lang nung quiz namin sa Biology kaya naman parang sinilaban ang lahat pagkatapos umalis ni teacher. Well, I kinda love our Biology teacher because there's something in her that made her different from this flock of teachers we got here. Siya lang ang guro na makakapagpatahimik sa silid na'to. She's respected, yeah, she deserved it.
"Sa'n punta mo mars?"
"Sa Venus, sama ka?"
Napairap si Neljiy sa sagot ko.
"The last time I checked, you were not listed on the guest list. 'Di ka bagay do'n ghorl." rebuttal niya naman na sinamahan pa ng halakhak.
"Alam ko, 'di naman kailangan pang idagdag ang pangalan ko sa guest list. I have one hella VIP card, fyi. And yes, di ako bagay, kasi kami yung bagay." ending it with a hair flip.
'Di na niya ako pinansin. It's either pikon na'to o uma-attitude lang. I mentally smirked.
We both proceeded in the library. Hindi kami nerds. Nagfifeeling matalino lang talaga kami. Props lang kung makita niyo man kaming may hawak na libro or magazine.
Nasa bukana na kami ng silid and I was about to get my library card to tap it on the machine when Neljiy grabbed my hair lightly.
"Ano ba?!" Nauuna kasi akong maglakad sa kanya, ang kupad naman kasing maglakad ni friend.
"Si kuya crush mo teh" mahinang sabi niya habang hawak hawak yung buhok ko.
Inayos ko yung buhok at pabebeng nilingon siya. "Hele, nesheen shi papi my loves shizt?"
Binatukan ako ng bruha pero nginuso niya naman yung grupo ng mga lalaki sa ilalim ng shed na malapit sa basketball court. Kitang kita kasi dito sa banda namin ang pwesto nila.
Paglingon ko, I saw how lovely he is. Kahit medyo natatakpan siya ng mga tropa niya ay okay lang. When it comes to him, I have my 20-20 vision with me. He looks so gorgeous kahit pa sa school uniform namin. Kahit nga siguro basahan yung isuot niya ay gwapo pa rin siya sa paningin ko. O kahit naman wala na. Charot.
There's something in him that makes my insides scream without any hesitations. Yeah, he got that looks but somehow I consider it only as an additional point. He got 101/100 in my score card. He's beyond that level. Can someone throw me a hard boiled egg and tell me to stop daydreaming? 'Coz almost always, my mind just won't stop thinking how adorable he is as a human.
It took years before I knew in my self that I'm inlove with him. Yell at me if this is just an infatuation or that damn puppy love, I won't care. If this will bring me pain, then pain it is. I would gladly accept it. I'm inlove. Madly and crazy.
"Gurl, I can see some roots." Pagsasalita ng katabi ko.
"Huh? Huhtdog. Niya mesherep." Habang nakatingin pa rin kay crush.
"Gagogh! Day dreaming ka na naman. 24 hours ka nang nakatayo jan teh. Kulang nalang magpared carpet ang library para lang gumora na tayo."
"Tsk, oo na po. Last." Bago tuluyang pumasok sa loob ng library, tinitigan ko muna si crush, mga 30 seconds. Hihi.
'Di ko alam kung nagbabasa ba talaga ako ng libro o yung libro mismo yung nagbabasa sa'kin. My mind's not with me.
I was never a bookish type of person. Maybe sometimes but that's just to kill my curiosity and boredom.
I stood up wanting to get a newspaper because somehow I thought I would be interested with the news of the day.
A certain article in the cover page caught my attention and when I was about to grab it, a pair of tanned hands already got it.
I froze when I knew who's that. Heart's racing and again, the butterflies came to life again. 'Di ko alam kung anong gagawin ko. Nahihiya akong dumungaw man lang.
Aware that this person right here is an avid fan of news especially in articles tackling politics, history and even government system, still, I didn't expect that he would be here at this moment.
"Yeoenne, here!"
Sarap naman sa ears pakinggan yung pangalan niya. Ngunit hanggang ngayon nandito pa rin ako sa kinatatayuan ko.
"Miss, you okay?" narinig kong sabi niya.
