Knowing the Vixen

Twenty

I was catching up with Johanne's life the entire period. I must admit I missed talking to him. Siya kasi ang tipo ng tao na hindi nauubusan ng ikukuwento pero hindi rin walang kwenta. Everything he share makes sense.

"All groups finished?"

Doon lamang namin napansin na napasarap ang kwentuhan namin. He bid goodbye to me and went out along his group.

I was about to get my bag when my I accidentally gazed on Tim's direction. Naiwan akong nakatitig sa kanya na may maliit na ngiti habang nagsasalita si Cruiz sa gilid niya. What rubbish is she telling him?

"Bagay silang dalawa ni miss Pres at Timothy, ano?"

No. They're humans, stupid.

"Agree. Parehong matalino."

I turned my head towards my giggling classmates and gave them a sharp look. Napansin nilang dalawa iyon at aligagang lumabas ng classroom. Nonsense. Kapag ba parehong matalino, bagay na kaagad? If they are both magnet with the same polarities, they'll be far away from each other now.

I saw them both walking towards the door at my back, patuloy parin sila sa pag-uusap. Or more like Cruiz is the only one talking, Timothy is merely listening and nodding.

"Tim. Southpoint at 8pm. Don't be late." I heard Cruiz said.

Technically, I am not eavesdropping, ang lakas kaya ng boses ng babaeng iyon. Sigurado akong sinadya niya iyon para marinig ko.

Tim lazily okayed and went out the room.

Are they going to have a date? Waah, he just kissed me last week... err last last week tapos ngayon may ka date na siya? Or maybe matagal na silang nagkikita, hindi ko lamang namalayan dahil madami akong ginawa noong nakaraang linggo? Whatever!

I hurriedly walk to catch up with Tim.

"Shall we have dinner with the kids?" I asked, straight looking ahead while walking.

"Anong oras?" Tanong din niya nang hindi lumilingon.

"8 p.m. My place."

"Can we have it on six p.m?"

I stopped walking and clicked my tounge. We'll have dinner by six p.m so he could go to his date by eight in the evening. Time management at it's finest huh.

Nang mapansin na wala ako sa kanyang gilid, huminto rin siya sa paglalakad at lumingon sa akin. Ang gwapo ng tindig niya kahit nakatalikod. His side profile is even panty dropping because it defines his strong jaw and pointed nose. But I don't fucking care! Naiinis ako!

"Huwag na lang pala. I forgot I have schedule with Flion later."

"For what? Hindi pa ba tapos ang preparation niyo?"

"Tapos na, but we need to do something else later."

I sashayed my way to the training room and changed my clothes. Wala pa doon ang coach namin dahil hindi pa oras ng training. So I played with the trampoline for the mean time and practiced my splits in midair.

Nang mapagod, I drew Cruiz' face on my sketch pad. It was only a fast sketch, more like a draft but I manage to draw her face just like her potato faced face. Idinikit ko iyon sa dingding at nilabas ko lahat ng panggigigil ko sa kanya gamit ang gymnastic ball ni Lore.

"You attention stealer!"

I threw it forcefully on the wall, smacking her black and white potato face. I did it again and again. I hate the idea na sumang-ayon sa kanya si Timothy. I mean, hell, they will meet at southpoint?! It's a place for dating couples! Are they couple? Not in my wildest dreams.
