Hooking Trouble: Deciphering Paris

Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Into him?

ALECKXIA'S POV

Antok na antok akong bumangon sa higaan ko at nakasimangot na ginulo ang aking buhok.

Inis kong pinatay ang alarm clock ko na patuloy parin sa nakakarinding pagtunog.

I yawned.

Arggh! I'm so sleepy.

I don't have a good night sleep!

Halos alas kwatro na ata ng madaling araw ako nakatulog.

Parang pumikit lang ako tapos nagmulat na agad ng mata.

Aaaaaaaah!

This is all Hook Ryden Zamora's fault eh!

'Don't you know that I was so damn worried about you?! Fuck this!'

Arghh! Kainis!

Bakit kasi paulit-ulit na pumapasok sa isip ko ang mga sinabi niya kahapon. Grrr.

'I just can't stop myself from worrying about your health and probably yourself! Damn it! Shit!'

Stop!

I wiggled on where I sit as I pull my hair.

I'm going crazy!

Damn!

I shouldn't care about what he said.

'Ofcourse he's worried about you Aleck 'cause he saw how you act that time. That's why! So don't think too much. Always put it in your mind that he's just worried 'cause he'd seen how miserable and pitiful you are at that moment. Period. No more, no less. Don't assume things.' Kausap ko sa sarili ko.

I took a deep breath to absorbed all the things that bumabagabag on my mind then exhaled-- pushing away my concerns about all the stress in my life.

Okay! That's it.

I should act normal as I am.

I ready myself from going to school.

I took a bath. Wear my uniform. Eat breakfast with my family then droved by my father to school.

As I entered our classroom, all eyes was on me.

Bees are everywhere. Tsk.

Haist.

Siguro dahil sa nakita nilang eksena kahapon sa cafeteria kaya sila ganiyan makatingin at umakto.

I glance on Hook but to my dismay he's just busy typing on his cellphone.

Tsk.

Wow, huh?!

Hindi manlang niya ako tiningnan, alam kong alam niya na dumating na ako dahil sa mga pesteng bulungan ng mga kaklase namin pero wala manlang lingon-lingon?

Hindi manlang niya ako binalingan ng tingin at patuloy parin siya sa pagkakalikot ng phone niya.

Palihim ko siyang inirapan.

Sino kaya 'yang ka-text niya?

Ahh! Aleck! Stop thinking about him!

Hindi ko nalang rin siya pinansin at tinungo nalang ang upuan ko.

Nagulat ako nang malamang kanina pa pala ako tinititigan ni Rein.

Fuck!

Nakalimutan ko, may atraso pa pala ako sakaniya!

Nang magtama ang paningin namin ay kaagad siyang umiwas.

Kita ko ang pagsimangot niya at pagbaling niya ng tingin sa kabilang direksyon nang makaupo ako sa tabi niya.
