Hey, Professor (Completed)

HP06

LICKED

Dumiretso ka agad ako sa room ko kanina pagdating ko dito sa bahay. My mother's upstairs, probably in their room together with Papa or I don't know, if my father's already home. Madalas kasing dinner na umuuwi si Papa. Super busy, I guess. Kaya madalas ay hindi na niya ako nakikita, pina-pasabi ko nalang kay Yaya to tell Mama that I'm already home.

After finishing dinner I excused myself to go upstairs, so I could rest. Masyado yata akong napagod sa araw na ito. I showered first and brushed my teeth before going into my bed.

Lying on my bed thinking about what happened for this day. I still can't believe it, okay? My crush noticed me finally... not just that, we just ate together and had small talk. So! He's still single pala, huh! And there's a possible chance for me to make him fall in love with me.

Fall in love.

Mabilis kong kinuha ang unan ko sa tabi at tumingala sa kisame ng kwarto ko. Nakapatay na ang ilaw kaya madilim na at tanging liwanag na lang ng buwan ang nagbibigay liwanag dahil sa nakabukas kong bintana.

Naka tulogan ko ang sobrang pag-iisip sa kanya ng gabing 'yon. Lutang akong naglalakad papunta sa building ko ng nakasalubong ko si Seven. Right! He smiled at me widely, I smiled back, to him. Mag kaibigan pa rin naman kami kahit binasted ko siya years ago. No hurt feelings, I liked him yes, but not romantically. I really like him as a friend. Maliban sa hindi pa ako handang magka boyfriend ng mga panahong 'yon. I can't see myself together with him and the near future.

Mabait naman kasi talaga itong si Seven. He's tall, a varsity, also. Siya ang captain ng basketball team nila dito sa school. Sobrang sikat niya lalo sa mga babae. He's an engineer, nagkakilala kami second year college. May isang subject kasi na kaklase ko siya, and he became my partner that time, by partners kasi 'yung activity, I don't have one. Si Elle naman absent that day dahil may sakit, so I don't have a choice.

"Hey, Good morning!" he greeted me.

"Morning," I replied and stopped walking.

"How are you?"

"Fine, ikaw?" I asked back.

"Eto, gwapo parin," he chuckle. So yabang, one thing I like him is sobrang funny niya 'ng kasama.

"San banda?" looking at his face in disgust. Sanay naman na siya sa ugali ko.

"Here," pointing out his face saka mas lalo pang lumapit sa 'kin. Napaatras ako sa ginawa niya dahilan ng pagkaka bangga ko sa isang matigas na bagay.

I felt something hard. Dahan-dahan ang paglingon ko sa may likuran ko. I could smell a familiar scent, so manly. I know this smell, ganitong-ganito ang amoy niya no'ng mabunggo ko ang dibdib niya accidentally sa mall.

I looked up, and there, I saw him. Not looking at me but looking at my back. He's looking at seven I guess. He clenched his jaw.

"Hala! S-Sorry po, sir," I apologized immediately, looking at him. But his eyes darted from behind, salubong ang kanyang kilay. Saka ako nagbaba ng tingin at nakagat ang pang-ibabang labi. Tumunog ang bell, sign for first period.

"Good morning, sir!"  bati ni Seven kay Walter. Tinanguan lang siya nito, saka bumaling sa akin.

"Aren't you going to your class?" he said in a serious voice. Saka nauna sa paglalakad.

I looked at Seven with a questionable expression around his face, I said goodbye before leaving him. Syempre na unang pumasok si prof. kaya walang lingon-lingon akong pumasok at umupo sa upuan ko.
