Save You [boyxboy]

Chapter 13

If I am the damsel in distress, then is he my knight in shining armour?

Agad siyang nahagip ng aking mga mata. He's now sitting in a bench with the sun already setting in the background. The colors yellow, orange and blue mixed perfectly well, kaya kahit ako napatameme muna bago ako matauhan.

Kaunti nalang rin ang tao sa campus, kaya't hindi na ako nahirapan hanapin siya. I walked towards where he was sitting.

"Ikaw ba yon?" My voice almost cracked.

He sneered the moment he saw me walking towards him. Ano ba talaga ang problema ng taong to'? Is his intimidating behaviour his defense mechanism?

Hindi ko iyon pinansin at umupo lang sa tabi niya nang walang pasabi. His glare never left me.

Parang gusto ko ngang dukutin ang kanyang mga mata. Galit na galit, parang hindi ako sinagip sa manyak.

My breath hitched the moment I realised what was going on.

Hindi imposibleng si Ashton yung sumagip sa akin nung gabing iyon. The tests has already arrived pero hindi parin ito mawala sa isip ko. I can't think straight at the moment.

"Guys, pinapatago na yung mga gamit." Rinig kong sabi ng isa kong kaklase. The thought still remained. Binisita rin ulit ako nang mga alaala nung pangyayari.

Sa isang iglap-may papel na ako sa upuan. Hindi ko na namalayang ipinasa na pala sa akin yung test paper.

"You have two hours to complete that, and the timer starts now," Announced our teacher from the room. Nilakasan pa niya ang kanyang boses para marinig namin ito sa labas.

Ten minutes has passed but I was just staring into space. Get it together, Alexis!

Malapit ko nang masabunutan ang sarili ko para lang gumana ulit ang aking utak. Fortunately, the exam was not that hard-kaya't hindi ako nahirapang sagutin ito. I just flied through the questions at agad akong tumayo para ipasa ito.

"As expected from our top 1." Our instructor commented.

Narinig kong magbulungan ang iba kong kaklase.

"Sana all."

"Pucha, di pa nga ako nangangalahati."

"Pahiram utak, ngayon lang."

Our instructor accepted may paper, at saka nagpaalam na ako sa kanya. "Sir, puwede na po ba akong mag snack?" I lied.

I took his nod as a cue, at nilipad ko na papuntang guidance. Lakad-takbo ang ginawa ko. I don't even know what I'll do kung nandon na ako, basta ang alam ko I should be in there.

How dare that Gullermo guy bring his mom into this? Tangina niya. Hindi parin mawala sa isip ko ang posibilidad na baka si Ashton nga yung sumagip sa akin.

But, why would he do that?

Malamang, it doesn't take a minute for a decent person to jump in kapag nasa sitwasyong iyon.

Isang palapag nalang nandon na ako sa guidance. I was almost nearing the room nang biglang may lumabas dito. Out of surprise bigla akong napatago sa gilid kung saan hindi ako nakikita.

Why am I even hiding?

"Magbabayad siya." I heard an older lady say.

"Thank you mom," It was a guy's voice.

I took a peek para makita sila ng kaunti.  It was that dude Gullermo and probably his mom. They were infront of the office as they talk.

The mom touched Gullermo's cheeks. "How dare he touch my baby's face," Sabi nung nanay with an eeky tone. Kadiring 'baby' yan, ma'am.
