Mystify Love

Chapter 5

FIRST CALL

Amusement was written on my face after I saw Rishi dance again. She auditioned for the Clarké University Dance troupe after a couple of weeks of practicing.

"She's really good!" I exclaimed. 

"Yeah. Dancing is her first love, that's why." Lia answered. 

"I can see it." I said. 

Ngumiti at kumaway sa amin si Rishi matapos niyang sumaway, kasunod naman nito ang kaibigan niya rin na si Gail. They are both good! 

After watching Rishi's performance we all went home to prepare for our prelim exam. Clarké University divided the semester into four parts in which August is the prelim exam, September is our midterm exam, October is our semi-finals and November is our finals. 

The month of July is almost over and our exam is in the 2nd week of August so we need to review for that. Lalo na sa Math in the modern world, I need to review that because I am really bad in that subject. 

Weston Sean Santiago messaged you. 

I open my phone after I read the notification. I am still drying my hair when I sit down on my study table. 

Weston:
Already went home?

Me: 
Yup, I need to review for our upcoming exam. I really suck on math, you know. 

Saglit kong binaba ang cellphone ko upang ayusin ang gamit ko pang review. I opened my laptop and inserted my mouse. I took out my notes and papers that I needed. I will review the math first because I am really bad at it. 

Tumaas ang kilay ko dahil sa nabasa kong reply niya. Ang yabang talaga porket may ipagyayabang! 

Weston:
That's easy, I get straight uno in that subject since grade school. 

Me:
Ikaw na Weston. Ikaw na ang pinagpala sa math. 

Weston:
Want me to teach you? I am done reading. 

Parang nabuhayan ako dahil sa sinabi nito. I got excited for a reason. 

Me:
Really? You will teach me? But how?

Weston: 
I call you. 

Nanlaki ang mata ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Call me? 

Weston:
If you agree, of course. 

Me:
Yeah sure, for my grade. 

Weston:
If you said so. I'll get my notes for you, tell me if you're ready then I'll video call you. 

Me:
Okay, I'll fix myself first.

Weston:
Yourself?

Me:
My things, I mean!

Weston:
Alright. Chat me if you're ready. 

I almost threw my phone after reading what I'd said! Nakakahiya! Bakit ko ba kailangan ayusin ang sarili ko para sa kanya? 

Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari but I saw myself, brushing my hair, putting some lipstick on my lips and curling my lashes, I put some mascara too and blush on upang hindi ako magmukhang maputla. 

"What the hell am I doing?" I asked myself. 

Huminto ako sa pag-aayos nang makitang okay na ang aking sarili. My long and thick eyelashes are more defined after I put some mascara on it. Tinignan ko pa ang reflection ko sa salamin bago ko tuluyang i-chat si Weston.
