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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZARv9bknJ
"Okay."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkBAEoeHM9
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8gCD9evHs
"What're you doing here?" he asked.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYtnygmdUv
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.

"Are you all right?" his voice sounds concerned.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c7Qz6hCT0
I nodded. "I-I just meet a friend."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc47Qu4d2t
His brows curled. "You must be kidding me. The two are not studying here."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWlBENIQOw
'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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc1VZ421nz
"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!
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXjbQTB3Pm
He wet his lips. "Okay, if you say so. Hatid na kita."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb7dLZXKyn
My heart stumped for a bit.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Qy9Vqnlt
"H-huh?" nasabi ko na lang.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu5x4AvgZr
He smiled. "I'll bring you out. Para hende ka na magleleked na mag-esa."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFTx3OM4kq
That accent though.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI9u3uzuah
I nodded. "Sige. Sabi mo, eh."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCZtncdlXw
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYATBExcjm
"Here we go," aniya nang makalabas kami ng gate. "Are you sure you don't want to..."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTFVtRDyhW
I shook my head. "Khan, I'm adult. Kaya ko na mag-isa. Besides, pupunta pa akong Enderun mamaya."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJUADHazCR
"They're busy..." he murmured.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFLgWaYBqD
"I know. But a little visit could enliven their day," singit ko, tumango naman siya.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgpkFwsnti
He winced. "Fine, I'll let you go. But..."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczkDMnPnVz
I gave him a look.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab8URcNaoW
He smirked. "Kiss me on the cheek."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUyUcEU0F6
I rolled my eyes. "Khan..."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrj9uxtFix
He bit the inside of his mouth.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhRW5UnHkm
I sighed. "Fine."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ls0zC7ztG
He grinned. "Two seconds."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzwoB4eoAA
"Huh?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l2pUQD749
"Two seconds kiss."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDPGvVNkOX
I weighed my hands. "Whatever."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIpFYr68Y8
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSE2S0Arxl
"You take care!" his voice seemed like a warning.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZSUfrGvi2
I nodded. "Yes, sir."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXzlAH4xaj
He sighed. "I'll text you later."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQsIqjrjpd
Tumango na lang ako.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZClK9SH83y
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2RPCK2oX7
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGwtoSW1QE
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxI3Rjazm6
"Look who's here..." sabay pasada niya ng tingin sa akin mula ulo hanggang paa. "Still... you—vintage."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4VYUhhRv4
I raised an eyebrow. "Vintage is power, in case you don't know."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UUGdbrIlZ
Her jaw clenched. "Well, I reckon you haven't seen yourself in the mirror."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkcPfNsZbX
The audacity.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qw48Bu5kQ
"Doesn't matter. I'm still look fresh."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSr8Yddd8X
She sneered. "Oh, I see. Anyway, I invite you to come to my brother's birthday."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0FbA5sRNb
"Sure," I interjected.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHH60pnBdx
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs8ZA3pbKT
"Sabi ko naman kasi sa 'yo..." humina ang boses ni Japet nang makita ako. "Wait, is that Ran?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cpKChEWy6
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKO1DeRNZf
"Buti naka dalaw ka rito," ani Klink nang makaupo kami sa loob ng cafeteria. "Ang sabi kasi ni Khan ay aalis daw kayong Bohol."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtcOmcbD4P
Isa pa 'yan. I wonder kung sasama sila.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTzhMlWoZv
"Hindi ba kayo sasama?" agad na tanong ko.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9AgdSEgWm
Umiling sila. "Nope. May business proposal defense pa kami, e."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJW8sXrcES
"Hala! Good luck," I say.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7VChGB2p0
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nCZZCKYhO
"Thanks," huling sinabi ni Klink, bago sinakop ng ingay ng alarm ang buong silid.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p8HKfw69Y
"W-what's happening?" Japet asks him.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJM7SoiX3Z
Klink shrugs. "May problem siguro sa loob."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRRdMZMvRE
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1qAGW1pjq
"Ate, anong nangyayari?" I ask eagerly.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtkdP4KNkf
"May sunog sa kabilang building," agad na sagot niya at idiniin ang telepono sa tenga. "Mauna na ako, may kailangan i-rescue roon."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70QXd0l2uK
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.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDQxDajJXX
"Ano raw?" aniya.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXka8Cvvo3r
"May sunog daw sa kabilang building," sagot ko.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcFIyK4QzC
Kumunot ang noo niya. "Aling building?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTfBN2yLhk
Nagkibit ako ng balikat. "I don't know."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGGwkmVOy1
Tumingin siya kay Japet, nag-aalala.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXCy0uir4L
"Si Dani," sabay nilang sinabi.
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaiLtBESYK
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Sinong Dani?"
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQXW5NeWgl
Agad na tumayo ang dalawa. Habang ako ay naguguluhan na. Sinong Dani ang pinagsasabi ng mga ito?
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpaZVAZhp9
"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."
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubLR7fCTl1
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.
