MY butt is starting to hurt dahil sa sobrang tagal na pagkaupo. So i changed the weight of my butt and sit properly.

"May nakaupo dito, Miss?" I jolted as someone talked behind me. I looked behind me and see a guy who's wearing the school uniform.

"Um, none." I said and moved my chair away from him.

"Oy, bakit ka nalayo?" Tanong niya.

"Ha? Ah eh, para makaupo ka ng maayos." Nahihiyang sabi ko sakanya.

I am definitely socially awkward.

"Sus, lapit ka sakin." Sabi niya. Medyo naghe-hesistate pa ko kung lalapit ako sakanyan pero noong napansin ko na mukha naman siyang friendly, nilapit ko na ang upuan ko sa tabi niya.

"I'm Tony." Sabi niya and offered his hand for a handshake.

"Nikki." I said and held his hand.

He triumply smiled and looked back in front of us.

Hinawakan kong maigi ang purse ko at huminga ng malalim. Today, isn't as bad as I thought.

"And now, they are the leaders of MPU! A round of applause for the MPUSG!"

A loud roar of claps filled the gymnasium.

"Holy shit! Eto na!!" Tiling sabi ni Tony.

I looked at him confused while still clapping. "You know them?"

And he looked at me as if I'm kidding. "Are you serious, 'ma?"

And I just smiled. "Bago ka lang ba dito?" Tanong niya ulit.

"Yeah."

"Of-fucking-course! Kaya pala ngayon ko lang napansin ang beauty mo!" He said. Now I'm confused.

"Well, they are the A-Team of the Uni. They are elites. Why? Cause they came from a known family, they are excelling in different activites and most importanly, they are crafted by God himself." He explained.

Wow. So the guy earlier, he might be part of the student council and he's definitely out of my league.

"Look, look!" He exclaimed.

Like in a movie, everything seemed in slow motion as I see the built of the guy I just met earlier. The guy who made me feel different things in a short period of time.

I felt my mouth slightly opened as he walked to the middle of the stage with his poker face on.

When he's already in his place, he faced the crowd and stood confidently with his hands intertwined.

His eyes wandered at the back as if he's finding something... or someone. And I can feel my heart's thumping in my chest.

I felt nervous as his eyes rest in me. Even from afar, I can see that he's somehow relieved when he saw me and it made my heart flutter.

"And our President, Mr. Jericho Aranzaga!" Them crowd went wild hyping him up. He boyishly smiled while shaking his head.

"Jeric! Jeric! Jeric!" The crowd in front chanted making him wave at us then the crowd went more wild.

He's like a celebrity here. And we're his hopeless fans.

I suddenly felt Tony smacking my arm and when I looked at him, I saw how he also start fangirling to the President.

"Ay sorry 'ma! Kinikilig lang ako talaga!" He said then hooked his arm in mine.

I just smiled and accpeted his apology and look back at Jericho.

I silently gasped as I saw him staring at our arms and his face looks dark now. The boyish and cool looking Jericho is now gone. He looks mad at something.

Mukha siyang galit sa akin. So I unconsciously pulled my hand and thankfully Tony let me.

As the crowd settled down, I heard Tony's phone dinged multiple times.

"Uh, sis? Mauna na ko ha. Nice to meet you pala." Paalam niya.

"Uh yeah, sure." I said then smiled at him.

Bumuntong hininga ako bago umupo ulit ng maayos. Kakatapos lang nila itugtog ang hymm ng school meaning, the program is already done.

I looked around and saw some familiar faces from the student council pero hindi ko makita kung nasaan si Jericho.

Akala ko pa naman sasamahan niya ko.

I plan to buy my uniforms today and some books para kaunti na lang ang kailangan kong asikauhin pagkaumpisa ng klase.

I stand up and fix my dress the hook my purse to my shoulder when someone grabbed my wrist.

Lumingon ako at nakita ko si Jericho na hawak hawak ang kamay ko. Napamaang ako ng makaharap ko siya ng malapitan.

Sobrang kinis ng mukha niya at ang tangos ng ilong. Mahaba rin ang mga pilik mata niya at makapal ang kanyang mga kilay. May pagka-dark brown ang kulay ng kanyang mga mata ang mga labi niya sonrang pula na parang nang-aakit na mahalikan.

"Sorry." Sabi niya at binitawan ang kamay ko ngunit kinuha niya ang purse ko.

"No, a-ako na." I said. I gulped as he looked at me intently.

"It's fine." He said. I rubbed my wrist because I can still feels his tight grip. Ano kayang feeling kapag sa leeg ko naman?

What the fuck is wrong with me?

"Let's go?" Tanong niya habang ang isang kilay niya ay nakataas.

Why does he look so damn hot in everything that he do?

"Ha?" Anga-anga kong tanong.

"I said I'll tour you around right?"

"A-Ah, oo. Yes. Tama." Sabi ko

I really want to smack my face right now.
