Knowing the Vixen

Six

Padabog akong umupo sa silya ko at lahat ng kaklase ko ay lumingon. I didn't mind. They must be confuse dahil minsan lang akong nagdadabog. I'm always classy and graceful. But thanks to that assface Hargadon, sinira niya ang umaga ko!

Tanggap kong isa akong sexually active person and I'm fine with his context na pwede na akong makipagsex kay Johanne dahil totoo naman. But the way he said that made me feel like I'm a jezebel. And I loathe that word, not just because of it's definition but it also sound like a mermaid's name. Eww. Too bad, I was left shock kanina, sana ay automatic nananampal ang kamay ko sa mga mapanghusgang tao.

I turned my back and searched for his seat. Pinukol ko ang masakit na mga tingin nang makita ko siya but he looked sooo innocent looking back at me. He even blinked twice as if he's wondering why I'm deadly staring at him. Ang bait-bait niya sa specs niya and it's getting on my nerves. Huh, rude guy is a great pretender.

"Listen up, guys."

I rolled my eyes on him and faced in front but it made my morning even more badshit. Cruiz is standing there, I almost forgot she's the class president.

"Hindi makakapasok ang sub-teacher natin and we also don't have classes this morning. May emergency meeting ang faculty."

Good thing she said that, sira na ang umaga ko and the last thing I want right now is to face my sub-teacher slash manyak slash napuwing-wink-looking guy.

So I decided to use the time to relax and went to Cadogan coffee.

Nagmamadali akong lumabas ng school para hindi maabutan ni Johanne. Tinatamad akong kausapin siya ngayon. I don't know why I'm so irritated today. Nakakagalit lahat ng bagay at tao, partikular na si Cruiz and the rude nerd. Even this lady in front of me breathing irritates me.

"Your coffee, ma'am."

"Miss, may business spot ba kayo dito? May gagawin kasi akong paperworks."

"Yes ma'am. Doon po," turo niya sa mga pulang upuan at lamesa sa gilid.

I thanked the woman and headed to where I want to. But I suddenly halted when I saw someone sitting and reading a book while sipping his coffee. Aha, he seemed focused so I took the pleasure to disturb him. Maybe the heaven's allowing me to have my payback time.

Inangat niya ang tingin sa akin pero saglit lang iyon at tinuon ulit ang pansin sa binabasa. He could've at least say hi or oh, you're here also. Pero ano pa nga ba aasahan ko? He's a rude nerd.

Which doesn't sound right at all. Most nerd and dork-like people tend to be quiet and shy but he's the total opposite. Maybe he's not a real nerd, maybe he's wearing only a fashion eyeglass.

Ang totoo niyan, wala akong gagawin na paperworks. Gusto ko lang ang business spot dahil nagkakaroon ako ng private space. I love my space... with him... to annoy him.

"Why are you here?"

Oh, he can talk.

"What are you doing?" I asked back.

"Why are you here?" He repeated.

The left side of my lip rose. "Pa-share ng upuan."I said then took out my charcoal pencil and sketch pad.

I want to draw his face. Ganito ang ginagawa ko kapag bored and when I saw something interesting to draw. So yeah, he's interesting in my sight. Tapos ipapadikit ko sa kwarto ko, but I'm not yet sure kung ipapa-frame ko ba at idi-desplay o ididikit sa corkboard then throw darts right in his black and white forehead. I always do headshots.

"Why is that guy killing you with his stares?"

"Hmn?" I batted my eyelashes as I cocked my head to see him.
