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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZqRfXvMkS
"Okay."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6unJA567i
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8tAAorSWd
"What're you doing here?" he asked.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeUdLFibtl
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKHkFl3qbr
"Are you all right?" his voice sounds concerned.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8BIz7EUuO
I nodded. "I-I just meet a friend."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qudiHBPaD
His brows curled. "You must be kidding me. The two are not studying here."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauBSjMS3xX
'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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUmPYGUDeu
"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!
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY3nl2an7Q
He wet his lips. "Okay, if you say so. Hatid na kita."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftxD3eaNw7
My heart stumped for a bit.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXtPuMbfnZ
"H-huh?" nasabi ko na lang.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGyWDY7olA
He smiled. "I'll bring you out. Para hende ka na magleleked na mag-esa."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypWWNc204H
That accent though.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5cYlALNR3
I nodded. "Sige. Sabi mo, eh."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJpgw0HgQT
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4cNr3Rt7y
"Here we go," aniya nang makalabas kami ng gate. "Are you sure you don't want to..."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV0Q7F9H0j
I shook my head. "Khan, I'm adult. Kaya ko na mag-isa. Besides, pupunta pa akong Enderun mamaya."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUHa52YPxn
"They're busy..." he murmured.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNipVhToOtU
"I know. But a little visit could enliven their day," singit ko, tumango naman siya.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JNpoyST5v
He winced. "Fine, I'll let you go. But..."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTC0Ec7AbH
I gave him a look.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufm1DJG7u2
He smirked. "Kiss me on the cheek."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8li6sl4fXK
I rolled my eyes. "Khan..."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdVMW7YQbO
He bit the inside of his mouth.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yG9w6GqNy
I sighed. "Fine."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYT7wTnSl9
He grinned. "Two seconds."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeICD7cDVx
"Huh?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6IRKpdRpe
"Two seconds kiss."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8giONo4jE
I weighed my hands. "Whatever."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YrguxGk01
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoeeZShvz3
"You take care!" his voice seemed like a warning.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRZspJW5bB
I nodded. "Yes, sir."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNiTuphKUI
He sighed. "I'll text you later."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51HEJFEWQ6
Tumango na lang ako.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9WG7xBnuj
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKZk2d5Ss6
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXACrFnS8d
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIOenNOoxx
"Look who's here..." sabay pasada niya ng tingin sa akin mula ulo hanggang paa. "Still... you—vintage."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnqmtw47Xn
I raised an eyebrow. "Vintage is power, in case you don't know."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2uwvOll99
Her jaw clenched. "Well, I reckon you haven't seen yourself in the mirror."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHgGyzASfR
The audacity.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78iIgd6l3J
"Doesn't matter. I'm still look fresh."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rIIQZCjFv
She sneered. "Oh, I see. Anyway, I invite you to come to my brother's birthday."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p06TJRwUN
"Sure," I interjected.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEvqaMpnZP
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaYdk17SBE
"Sabi ko naman kasi sa 'yo..." humina ang boses ni Japet nang makita ako. "Wait, is that Ran?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDgIEXD1Ie
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HhuZpGEN1
"Buti naka dalaw ka rito," ani Klink nang makaupo kami sa loob ng cafeteria. "Ang sabi kasi ni Khan ay aalis daw kayong Bohol."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOxtSXkSXi
Isa pa 'yan. I wonder kung sasama sila.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwE5NyMeY0
"Hindi ba kayo sasama?" agad na tanong ko.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaa6jSn5CV
Umiling sila. "Nope. May business proposal defense pa kami, e."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENSOdGcQsS
"Hala! Good luck," I say.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYPO6SEk81
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS3wcaG3o4
"Thanks," huling sinabi ni Klink, bago sinakop ng ingay ng alarm ang buong silid.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRXI5CcMZa
"W-what's happening?" Japet asks him.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo6exfo7D8
Klink shrugs. "May problem siguro sa loob."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyipK8JXgAV
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkPs2hNxQ9
"Ate, anong nangyayari?" I ask eagerly.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C7tjxvIin
"May sunog sa kabilang building," agad na sagot niya at idiniin ang telepono sa tenga. "Mauna na ako, may kailangan i-rescue roon."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxjSqUaU3K
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi65seeqS7
"Ano raw?" aniya.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwxiXel7zj
"May sunog daw sa kabilang building," sagot ko.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezatxwTtCv
Kumunot ang noo niya. "Aling building?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrpioCGDQg
Nagkibit ako ng balikat. "I don't know."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgaCsuchjj
Tumingin siya kay Japet, nag-aalala.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RwJ2V6wjA
"Si Dani," sabay nilang sinabi.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAsKlwE1ge
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Sinong Dani?"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9jkPJqey1
Agad na tumayo ang dalawa. Habang ako ay naguguluhan na. Sinong Dani ang pinagsasabi ng mga ito?
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbJrlUx9TK
"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."
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIbZsZ8p4G
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.
