When A Meets Z

"Why would a stranger care?" I said and he looked mad.

He smirked. "Great." after he said that he started walking away. I was going to say don't go but I bit my tongue so I won't.

I was just looking at him walking away from me. What is happening between us? I thought we're for each other. Pero sabi rin ng iba, nasa huli ang pagsisisi.

1ST YR HS

We finished our book report in less than 2 hours kaya naman may time pa kami para manuod ng isa pang movie according to him. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganun siya sa akin. Hindi ko nga siya napansin nung first day of school. Hindi ba siya close sa mga lalaking classmates namin?

"So what do you want to watch? You can pick anything." he said happily.

"Why are you like this to me?" he was shocked at my question. "I mean, I don't understand. N'ung first day I didn't notice you pero bakit bigla ka namang---"

He interrupted me. "Ana. I was...I mean, okay. To be honest with you, I have problems with those guys. They told me to stay away so hinayaan ko silang gawin ang gusto nila. Pero n'ung nakita ko na may iba silang intensyon sa'yo, I think dapat na akong gumawa ng paraan 'di ba?"

"So you mean, you saved me? So I should thank you now?"

He laughed. "You're really a cute girl."

"What did you just say?" I asked even if I heard it.

"Nothing."

I was looking into his CDs and someone came knocking saying she was Zac's aunt. I whispered him not to open the door because I don't want to meet anyone of his family now. He just winked at me and opened the door.

"Oh, is she your girlfriend?" the lady asked. This is why I don't want to meet anyone of his family.

"Not yet." he joked. He really must be joking.

His auntie laughed a cute one. "I'm just here to borrow your CDs, Zac. Gusto kasi manuod nung mga tita mo dun. Can we?"

Zac looked at me like waiting for an answer. I just gave him the CDs, gave it to his auntie, and she went away.

"I'm really sorry about that." he said.

"It's not a big deal. I think I should go home." I said.

"Gusto mo mag-ikot ikot muna tayo sa may park?" he asked and I said no. But he was so makulit so he keeps on making pa-cute faces but it's not cute. Sarap lang basagin ng mukha niya. Pero n'ung sinabi niya na mag-bike kami, I agreed with him. I really want to ride a bike.
