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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlD6ZMdy5l
"Okay."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pJJqGXRxV
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1g8hqlxyK
"What're you doing here?" he asked.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrqZMjNqQw
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpNof79q04
"Are you all right?" his voice sounds concerned.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGXYU3s3RF
I nodded. "I-I just meet a friend."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7e16STnjn
His brows curled. "You must be kidding me. The two are not studying here."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufW9etgliP
'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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DwiX4zGsi
"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!
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lIVKbR01W
He wet his lips. "Okay, if you say so. Hatid na kita."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuRewNWTHY
My heart stumped for a bit.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucHpOaKV2m
"H-huh?" nasabi ko na lang.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo6QqAL9Nz
He smiled. "I'll bring you out. Para hende ka na magleleked na mag-esa."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gXjoAjFJ5
That accent though.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70cijJZOkU
I nodded. "Sige. Sabi mo, eh."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW3NLFHrXb
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4FkLyf3w4
"Here we go," aniya nang makalabas kami ng gate. "Are you sure you don't want to..."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzgDL7HLF
I shook my head. "Khan, I'm adult. Kaya ko na mag-isa. Besides, pupunta pa akong Enderun mamaya."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWbrbUSDof
"They're busy..." he murmured.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaiZi1JuFM
"I know. But a little visit could enliven their day," singit ko, tumango naman siya.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp0J98nklM
He winced. "Fine, I'll let you go. But..."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5jJEvLl5D
I gave him a look.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUiBInqLcs
He smirked. "Kiss me on the cheek."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozqLsyfwTT
I rolled my eyes. "Khan..."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMRVRF3k0h
He bit the inside of his mouth.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH88espamwe
I sighed. "Fine."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT58FHBVNfc
He grinned. "Two seconds."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5YPX20qvj
"Huh?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPRFMGk9zy
"Two seconds kiss."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImy2EQE7Nr
I weighed my hands. "Whatever."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWPDRg5Um9
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6xAmFztfM
"You take care!" his voice seemed like a warning.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmdcE5Op8T
I nodded. "Yes, sir."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpMBZzt5Ce
He sighed. "I'll text you later."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFfHFOCNy0
Tumango na lang ako.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvujacNMXwl
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.

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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9YwSKvSxl
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfFck8P9SV
"Look who's here..." sabay pasada niya ng tingin sa akin mula ulo hanggang paa. "Still... you—vintage."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl1IzFw6My
I raised an eyebrow. "Vintage is power, in case you don't know."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXM0wTtOYa
Her jaw clenched. "Well, I reckon you haven't seen yourself in the mirror."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze0JxbSctH
The audacity.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡficSkMVtXl
"Doesn't matter. I'm still look fresh."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUheg9k0fOe
She sneered. "Oh, I see. Anyway, I invite you to come to my brother's birthday."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf81n1PCWiy
"Sure," I interjected.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oQ9AcAxbz
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrRrc8Pncr
"Sabi ko naman kasi sa 'yo..." humina ang boses ni Japet nang makita ako. "Wait, is that Ran?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONhDlrBadv
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhAX5PrrcG
"Buti naka dalaw ka rito," ani Klink nang makaupo kami sa loob ng cafeteria. "Ang sabi kasi ni Khan ay aalis daw kayong Bohol."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAntSkbnIM
Isa pa 'yan. I wonder kung sasama sila.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIHMXLAkI4
"Hindi ba kayo sasama?" agad na tanong ko.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfccD1NJss3
Umiling sila. "Nope. May business proposal defense pa kami, e."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZgj6lf4nE
"Hala! Good luck," I say.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfclct4joA
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGPVgAdHWY
"Thanks," huling sinabi ni Klink, bago sinakop ng ingay ng alarm ang buong silid.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ovpu3qjMg
"W-what's happening?" Japet asks him.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnAXpfeHCr
Klink shrugs. "May problem siguro sa loob."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnsrzjBZxp
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyvPAB5ygB
"Ate, anong nangyayari?" I ask eagerly.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lLdvxbjpg
"May sunog sa kabilang building," agad na sagot niya at idiniin ang telepono sa tenga. "Mauna na ako, may kailangan i-rescue roon."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWXMkV3Srt
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.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS9KNvSfgK
"Ano raw?" aniya.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsUkaPOyTb
"May sunog daw sa kabilang building," sagot ko.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFq0iFz845
Kumunot ang noo niya. "Aling building?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK49oENIWke
Nagkibit ako ng balikat. "I don't know."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi9X6KXm5I
Tumingin siya kay Japet, nag-aalala.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFK8n1GyNx
"Si Dani," sabay nilang sinabi.
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFvZHGkK6q
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Sinong Dani?"
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAuo6vKXzH
Agad na tumayo ang dalawa. Habang ako ay naguguluhan na. Sinong Dani ang pinagsasabi ng mga ito?
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbq8KMldTW
"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."
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoSAkNY75W
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.
