Warmth embraces me as he was around. A feeling that makes me so confused and thrilled at the same time. Something that makes my heart tugged, drew a smile from my lips and make my eyes wonder if there's something magical in him that opened my soft spot.
It was Monday and I had to prepare myself for another awful arguments with Thalia. Isa na siya ngayon sa kinaiinisan at kina-bwibwisitan ko. Pero bakit ako matatakot sa kaniya? Kaya ko din siyang buhusan ng tubig at sabuyan ng putik!
"Hello miss dugyot." Thalia said sarcastically while swirling her hair.
"I'm in no mood of fighting." Sagot ko at ibinaba ang bag ko sa upuan.
"But I am..." Thalia smirked. "Takot ka na ba sakin, huh? Oh, kami nga pala ang dapat matakot sa'yo since you just have this cute and monster-like photo!"
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang pakitaan ako ni Thalia ng picture ko sa phone niya. My hair and face were covered with mud. My facial expression was almost crying.
"Akin na nga 'yan!" I tried to reach for her phone pero itinaas niya iyon at ipinasa sa isa pa niyang kaibigan. "That's cyber bullying you asshole!"
"Wag 'kang mag-alala because I'll just keep this." Thalia added. "Since TRUE friends keep their friend's epic photo, we're friends right–"
Sinubuan ko ng crumpled paper ang bunganga ni Thalia. Hindi na niya ako nagawang sugurin dahil dumating na ang first subject teacher namin.
After three subjects, I went out for recess. I was trying to find Missy and Erin, or kahit si Liam man lang. But I guess the campus was too crowded for me to meet them.
I came inside our air-conditioned cafeteria to relax and to entertain my busy mind. Limited lang ang mga students na pinapapasok doon dahil hindi pwede ang siksikan. There's a maximum capacity so the serenity of the cafeteria would be preserved.
I ordered a muffin and just brought my tumbler with me. Wala akong ganang kumain at may 10 minutes pa before the first period after-recess-class will start. Nag stay muna ako sa cafeteria para palipasin ang oras.
Nakapatong ang ulo ko sa lamesa at nakayakap sa sarili. I'm trying to sleep but also trying to not. Baka mapasarap ang tulog ko at hindi na makapasok sa next subjects.
I only shifted when I felt someone puts a tray on my table. My eyes were half asleep, when I looked up at the man in front of me. Hinila niya ang upuan doon at umupo sabay bati sa akin.
"Kumain ka na?" Jiro asked while smiling. "Ge tulog ka ulit."
He was wearing his uniform and two buttons were opened, kaya medyo nakikita ang v-neck na pang loob niya. His manly scent reached my nose, making me sniffed more of his good smell. Gulo-gulo pa ang buhok pero presko pa rin siyang tignan.
"Wala ng upuan." Jiro added while opening his meal. "Kaya dito nalang ako,"
Hindi ko siya kinakausap dahil gusto ko talagang matulog. Kinusot ko ang mata ko at yumukyok ulit. I turned my face on the right side to watch the view through the cafe's glass wall.
My brows furrowed when I felt his warm hands on my hair. My lips parted because I felt a tickle on my stomach, as if there were butterflies flying free inside me. I could see on my peripheral vision that Jiro was trying to braid a small amount of my hair. Napangiti ako bago sinubukang matulog ulit.
"May sanrio ka?" His soft, yet deep voice reached my ears.
"It's on my bag." Itinuro ko ang bag ko sa likuran ko.
Pumikit ako at sinubukang matulog habang iniipitan niya ang buhok ko. After that, I took my small mirror to see what his braid looks like.
It was beautiful! Marunong pala siyang mag braid! Kanino naman niya natutunan 'yon? Kay Thalia?
