"Next time don't do that again. Pero sa bagay mali naman ako," he shrugged his shoulders and patted my head.
"Why did you do that kuya? Sabi nila hindi ka naman ganyan dati," I asked him.
I saw his face flushed. "It's because you're being touchy with a guy," he stammered, his face now completely beet red.
I stayed quiet for a few seconds before bursting out laughing. "Kuya ang overprotective mo naman, I'm already old enough at handshake lang naman yun eh."
"You'll always be a little girl in my eyes Syv," Kuya Creed said while rubbing my head, his eyes displaying a little bit of gentleness and affection.
I froze when I heard the door open, in came the guy who said that I acted like Jollibee (pabida to mga sis 'di ko alam anong tawag dito hehe).
Mr. Imael froze as well and stammered, "I fo-forgot my b-bag." Bat ganyan reaction niya? Parang may nakita siyang hindi kanais-nais.
Oh? Akala niya ata mag jowa kami ni Kuya? I looked at my cousin's tender affection that now turned stiff. I coughed and shouted, "it's not what it looks like!"
"Um yeah sure..." he smile awkwardly while picking up his bag... for sure hindi ito naniniwala sa'kin. Ang impulsive naman ng utak niya, I huffed in annoyance.
I saw him slowly going closer to the door. Nagmamadali akong pumunta sa tabi niya at hinawakan ang kaniyang balikat.
"Mag pinsan lang kami! Hindi ko jowa si Kuya! Ang tanda niya kaya! Ayaw ko ng sugar daddy!" I yelled making him flinch in surprise.
Huffing, I glared at Mr. Imael. "Ah miss naniniwala naman ako... I was just giving you guys privacy," he slowly said, while scratching his head.
"Enough Syvlia, wala kang next class? Kain ka muna kung wala." Binatukan ako ni Kuya nang lumapit siya, napaaray ako hindi sa sarap kundi dahil sa sakit.
"Sige Kuya alis na ako. Bye wag ka mag-ingat," I stick out a tongue before dragging Mr. Imael outside.
"Oo nga pala, anong pangalan mo Mr. Imael?" I asked him halfway through the door.
"Alexander, drop the mister hindi naman ako ganon katanda." He replied, slinging his bag on his shoulders. Alexander looked behind and turned pale as if he saw a ghost, when I turned to looked back, the only person I could see was my cousin waving.
"Let's eat together Alex," I waved at Kuya before turning to Alexander, I was already shortening his name kasi makapal mukha ko at feeling close masyado. Whatever, basta may bagong friend.
"Sorry may class ak-"
"Syvlia bat ang tagal mo," a deep baritone voice called out my name, it was Aster. Leaning down on a wall, eyes darting back and forth between me and Alex.
"Sorry na tinawag kitang pabida kanina Syvlia, I'll be going may class pa ako... next time nalang," Alex apologized before walking away, at wala akong nasabi kasi ang bilis tumakas ng gago.
"Sino yon," Aster cocked his head and crossed his arms over his chest, parang iniimbestigahan ako... selos siya?
'Wag feeling maganda Syvlia,' my inner voice said with irritation, I dismissed it and replied to Aster, "bagong kaibigan ko, inimbitahan ko sana siya na mag lunch pero sadly may class pa siya."
"How about me? Are you not inviting me?" Ang sama kung makatingin, at mga sis grabe ang damage, yung tipong parang kakainin ka na ng buhay. Salubong ang kilay pero juice colored, ang gwapo pa rin.
Instant heart melt, ah puso ko!
"I thought you were busy, kaya I didn't invite you," I said cooly looking unaffected. Aster let out a 'tsk' sound before walking away, he looked back at me and gestured for me to follow him.
I followed him with a bounce on my steps, walking while holding the shoulder straps of my bag. I checked the hallway, there were a lot of people going in and out of the classrooms, I noticed that the hallway was neat and the scent of lilacs could be smelled.
"You sure know your way around here," I said trying to start up a conversation with Aster. He looked at me briefly, noticing that I was barely catching up with his pace, he slowed down... damn bless these short legs, I made a giant match up my pace.
"I memorized the map," Aster replied and sadly I couldn't come up with a reply or another topic to talk about.
We both turned right at nakarating sa cafeteria. It was packed with hundreds of students that were either eating, studying or just hanging out. Kapapasok pa lang namin at halos lahat nakatingin sa amin. Siguro ngayon lang sila nakakita ng maganda.
'Or maybe it was because of the door that was too loud that it could wake up a deaf person,' my inner self said making my ego sink like Titanic.
I checked the place if there was an empty table and luckily found one. "Upo ka don Syv, ako lang order sa food natin," mahinang sambit ni Aster while pointing at the empty table that I recently just saw.
Tumango ako at pumunta don. When I got there, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell Aster what food I would like.
I frowned, tamad naman akong mag order. "Hayst, hintayin ko nalang muna siya," I sighed while opening my phone to play for a while.
