Parang nanigas ang mga binti ko nang marinig iyon. Binalak ko pa sanang tignan kung sinong babae ang kausap niya, pero instead I ran away. I don't know I am so hopeless. I can't explain the feeling. I felt like, though, it wasn't betrayed—because first of all we are not into each other. Pero... I closed my eyes, darting a fickle of moment. Baka may mahanap akong ilaw.

"Oy, punta ka sa cheering squad training mamaya, ha," I overheard on my behind.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa0pf70L0U
"Okay."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU9JOoU3yG
Hindi na ako lumingon dahil alam ko naman kung sino iyon. 'Di pa man ako nakakahakbang ay bigla na lang akong hatakin ng lalaking nasa likod ko. My heart pumped in frigidity. Nang magtagpo ang aming mga tingin ay isang ngiti lang ang kaniyang ibinigay sa akin. Damn that smile.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVIdP6lcEj
"What're you doing here?" he asked.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngWA9PJ9JF
I grazed over his hand on my wrist. Agad din naman niyang inalis ang kamay niya. Kanina lang, may kausap siyang babae, tapos ngayon ay nandito siya sa harap ko. I am so really torn na talaga. I took a deep breath before fighting a sight at him. Alam ko naman na madadaig niya talaga ako sa mga tingin niya, but I'll not allow him to swallow me alive with his vision.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr4GYs5jlY
"Are you all right?" his voice sounds concerned.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZMwubzrGT
I nodded. "I-I just meet a friend."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3YVXn4v16
His brows curled. "You must be kidding me. The two are not studying here."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRzASvnOtE
'Yon lang. But–Think. 'Wag mong hayaan ang lalaki na 'yan na maging tama ang hinala niya. His eyes are hooking up with mine. Darn it.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bqI1W1KR0
"Uh, I mean... kakilala ko. Alam mo namang ikaw lang ang kaibigan ko rito," sabay hampas ko sa balikat niya. He even grazed a look at it. Supal!
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZNsuILpM0
He wet his lips. "Okay, if you say so. Hatid na kita."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrBu1BzhH
My heart stumped for a bit.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbnjB1Pcwg
"H-huh?" nasabi ko na lang.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RNYHQDf1H
He smiled. "I'll bring you out. Para hende ka na magleleked na mag-esa."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNiQi6tUUn
That accent though.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4e5w2m36O
I nodded. "Sige. Sabi mo, eh."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMohHcS0Q8X
Tipid siyang ngumiti sabay akbay sa akin. My nose bumped onto his triceps. God, bakit ba ang bango ng lalaking 'to? Palihim akong tumingin sa kaniya, pero every time na tumitingin siya sa banda ko ay inilihis ko ang paningin ko sa kaniya. Mahirap na. Baka kung ano pa ang isipin niya.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EE2LtNJLS
"Here we go," aniya nang makalabas kami ng gate. "Are you sure you don't want to..."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4snB3Gei
I shook my head. "Khan, I'm adult. Kaya ko na mag-isa. Besides, pupunta pa akong Enderun mamaya."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDipiOiwkGC
"They're busy..." he murmured.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoA8umGBPA
"I know. But a little visit could enliven their day," singit ko, tumango naman siya.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgX8NNpe3o
He winced. "Fine, I'll let you go. But..."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpft3vZGlp
I gave him a look.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARBiCSVXgy
He smirked. "Kiss me on the cheek."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH7MKNAz5Y
I rolled my eyes. "Khan..."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNKK7JqJw0
He bit the inside of his mouth.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yHFlGA7eT
I sighed. "Fine."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UYoKB7Fsh
He grinned. "Two seconds."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEJVdqVAO4
"Huh?"
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCAxWc51Cs
"Two seconds kiss."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEC1yvU4H0
I weighed my hands. "Whatever."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzBNBsMzvK
Pumunta ako sa gawi niya at mabilisan lang naman ang halik ko sa pisngi niya. Ngumisi pa ang mokong. Pero akala ko nakakalimutan na niyang halikan ako sa noo, hindi pala. His lips were tender and soft. An ideal lips to claim mine—kidding aside.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEztHh2ll5j
"You take care!" his voice seemed like a warning.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83E9BK9X6Y
I nodded. "Yes, sir."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkI6SRl7fi
He sighed. "I'll text you later."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeKMO7zsyw
Tumango na lang ako.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAuQ1aT2mQ
Ilang oras din bago ako nakarating sa Enderun. This is not what it looked like on the picture. Bumaba ako ng taxi and hand my fare kay manong driver. Hindi naglaon, ay nakapasok na rin ako sa loob ng college. Pero bago ako tumungo sa spot nila ay dumaan na muna ako sa powder room. There are women staring at me, and I just ignored them—and fortunately they leave me in peace. Pinatitigan ko ang sarili sa salamin, thinking about the kiss. I closed my eyes firmly and shake my hand. Umawang ang suot kong button downed shirt at bahagyang nakita ang cleavage ko. Inayos ko ito habang hindi ko mapigilang mapakagat ng labi. Saglit akong sumulyap sa aking sarili at lumabas na roon.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7IHtwnGmQ
Nagpalinga-linga ang ulo ko. Hindi ko alam kung nandito pa ba 'yong dalawang iyon. Khan and the two's are in different school; Khan was taking political science, while they are taking business. Habang ako naman ay still undecided which course to choose. But I know soon I will figure it out.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KJ2PLwcFA
As I stepped into the building, may biglang sumalubong sa akin. Napaatras ako nang makita ko ito. Her height is the same. Hindi pa rin nagbago ang kulay ng kaniyang buhok – blonde pa rin. The way she stood is like she is still the eighteen-year-old woman who once clashed with me.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEH868jYZd
"Look who's here..." sabay pasada niya ng tingin sa akin mula ulo hanggang paa. "Still... you—vintage."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAVJvafqWi
I raised an eyebrow. "Vintage is power, in case you don't know."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBng0q1IUG9
Her jaw clenched. "Well, I reckon you haven't seen yourself in the mirror."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZk4nlVPfI
The audacity.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8TBNZmFNe
"Doesn't matter. I'm still look fresh."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6bTi8ROpA
She sneered. "Oh, I see. Anyway, I invite you to come to my brother's birthday."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrSMr5rjBc
"Sure," I interjected.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWPzjvLlCz
She gave me a ferment look before she strolled away. My eyebrows shot up. Kahit kailan hindi pa rin niya tanggap na mas maganda ako kaysa sa kaniya. I flip my hair and slip into the place.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDn6ofUzkD
"Sabi ko naman kasi sa 'yo..." humina ang boses ni Japet nang makita ako. "Wait, is that Ran?"
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyAXVVinN8
I smirk while staring at them. Agad din naman silang sumaklang papunta sa gawi ko. Napangisi na lang ako nang bigla akong niyakap ng dalawa. Kahit kailan, ang sweet ng dalawang ito. If you're confuse why most of my friends are boys? Well, I like to be with them and the way they gossip — superb.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgohDPVG8PI
"Buti naka dalaw ka rito," ani Klink nang makaupo kami sa loob ng cafeteria. "Ang sabi kasi ni Khan ay aalis daw kayong Bohol."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xNriBmeS7
Isa pa 'yan. I wonder kung sasama sila.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0kaS9ZwdD
"Hindi ba kayo sasama?" agad na tanong ko.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hbX2uECSq
Umiling sila. "Nope. May business proposal defense pa kami, e."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuFuyL9Hmy
"Hala! Good luck," I say.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ctXlQW9pJ
They gave me an assuring smile. Ang genuine ng mga ngiti nila, hindi gaya ng mga naging kaibigan ko noon. On other hand, I miss my cousin. Pero I wonder kung nasaan na 'yong Reilyn na 'yon. Balita ko, may asawa na raw 'yon. She was like my ate na, but I'm comfortable calling her on her name. Miss ko na tuloy si Roxianne. Pahamak na Reilyn.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRDjpPMXZR
"Thanks," huling sinabi ni Klink, bago sinakop ng ingay ng alarm ang buong silid.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePaIP91bIJ
"W-what's happening?" Japet asks him.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRJvY46xjn
Klink shrugs. "May problem siguro sa loob."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3XFDo00Mz
Ilang minuto na ang nakalilipas pero hindi pa rin tumitigil ang ingay. At dahil sa sinseredad kong malamam ang balita, nagtanong ako sa ilang mga estudyante roon. Ngunit hindi rin nila alam, buti na lang at may nakita akong tumatakbong nutritionist.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4woz40GuS
"Ate, anong nangyayari?" I ask eagerly.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZo5kjn3au
"May sunog sa kabilang building," agad na sagot niya at idiniin ang telepono sa tenga. "Mauna na ako, may kailangan i-rescue roon."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoePMBwQ4Cu
Tumango lang ako. Kumaripas naman siya ng takbo at ako naman ay bumalik sa mga kaibigan ko. Agad na humilig nang ilang pulagada si Klink sa akin para malaman ang balita.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEse01zlxj
"Ano raw?" aniya.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTGCxvBQcY
"May sunog daw sa kabilang building," sagot ko.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzpIcCfxs0
Kumunot ang noo niya. "Aling building?"
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QRV7MlBO7
Nagkibit ako ng balikat. "I don't know."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK55V90USn
Tumingin siya kay Japet, nag-aalala.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2nJfYdhqG
"Si Dani," sabay nilang sinabi.
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AJgJBaps8
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Sinong Dani?"
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIUMEBPKs4
Agad na tumayo ang dalawa. Habang ako ay naguguluhan na. Sinong Dani ang pinagsasabi ng mga ito?
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeeouz1foZ
"We'll be right back," ani Klink at hinila ang kapatid. Pero bumalik din sila at hinalikan ang noo ko. "You take care. Babalik din kami."
337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntsh6HuwW9
Pagkatapos no'n ay kumaripas na sila ng takbo. Habang naiwan naman akong naguguluhan. Sino ba'ng Dani ang pinagsasabi nila? I sighed and sat down.
