To See Your Smile

Aiden's POV:

"Uhm, What the hell?" Kane said, slowly lowering his voice as he realized that we're not alone in this room.

The nurse looked at Kane with narrowed eyes.

"What was that, Mr. Takahashi?"

"Ah, n-nothing—"

"Nat." I called. As I saw her finger move a little while her forehead creased.

"Oh, the crazy girl's awake?" Singit ni Kane ngunit naiba ang expression niya sa mukha nang may mapansin kay Natsumi.

I turned to her and saw her smiling—unconsciously.

"What the-" I almost repeated what Kane did earlier. Good thing I stopped my self midway before the nurse heard it.

"See? She's doing it again! I told you she's crazy, she's unconsciously smiling!" Kane whispered habang siningkitan niya ito ng mata.

"Aiden?" Napatingin naman ako sa kanya nang tawagin niya ang pangalan ko.

Hell, this isn't the day that I was expecting to have.

"How sweet, you're the first person she called!" Asar ni Kane sakin na sinamaan ko lang ng tingin.

"I—" She cut me off.

"ANG INGAY INGAY NAMAN NG BULLDOG NA 'TO!"

"Bloody shit-" Gulat na sabi ni Kane.

"Ehem." Masamang tingin sakanya nung nurse na kanina pa siya binabantayan sa pagmumura.

"Gomen'nasai." He apologized since he didn't want to get in trouble.

Lahat kami ay nagulat sa ginawang pagsigaw ni Nat, kahit ang ibang nurse na nasa infirmary ay nagulat din.

"She's speaking in that language again! Aiden, she's cursing at me isn't she?" Tanong sakin ni Kane dahil alam niyang nakakaintindi ako ng Filipino.

"Urusei." I said while glaring at him, he acted as if there's a zipper in his mouth and zipped it.

"The nurse says you're fine now, we should go back to class. We can't stay in here for too long." Sabi ko habang nagliligpit na ng gamit at iniwan nalang sila don ng walang paalam. Narinig ko pang may sinabi si Nat pero nagdire-diretso lang ako sa paglalakad.

Peace and quiet is all that I wish for and yet it's that hard to give.

Naghintay lang ako sa labas ng pinto hanggang sa matapos ang discussion ni Ma'am because I don't want to interrupt the class—

"Hey!"

So weirdos kept on appearing out of nowhere nowadays, huh?

"Hey! Shinjiro!"
"Oi!"
"Oi! Oi! Oi!"

Kahit naiirita na ako sa ginagawang pagtawag ni Kane sakin ay nanatili lang ang paningin ko sa pinto ng classroom namin. Naririnig ko na ang papalapit na mga yabag nila ngunit hindi ko pa rin sila nililingon.

"Ara?" It's her again. Who suddenly appeared in front of me, peeking through the window of our classroom door.

"There's a new student?" She added na siyang ipinagtaka ko.

I thought we're already complete?

Mukhang uulitin ko na naman ang iniutos sa akin dahil nadagdagan na naman kami ng isang estudyante.
