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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIC8Np1yWo
"Okay."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp79WZdUVgO
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjK7zWIuyb
"What're you doing here?" he asked.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPIiUCUjF5
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhhUa0SPAG
I nodded. "I-I just meet a friend."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjabEgjCUo
His brows curled. "You must be kidding me. The two are not studying here."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMthP2Bqw1
'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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv5s015NeO
"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!
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGKP3PgZNU
He wet his lips. "Okay, if you say so. Hatid na kita."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp7TPy4d1B
My heart stumped for a bit.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv3H0NPURz
"H-huh?" nasabi ko na lang.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe8Gjj46k7
He smiled. "I'll bring you out. Para hende ka na magleleked na mag-esa."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWDww75tG9
That accent though.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56kWJGquP2
I nodded. "Sige. Sabi mo, eh."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSGqF04Gob
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDMz1bdeJ7
"Here we go," aniya nang makalabas kami ng gate. "Are you sure you don't want to..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttsaRSFq1i
I shook my head. "Khan, I'm adult. Kaya ko na mag-isa. Besides, pupunta pa akong Enderun mamaya."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1oWT83bZ8
"They're busy..." he murmured.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiskxylujb
"I know. But a little visit could enliven their day," singit ko, tumango naman siya.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK99KYmBMOV
He winced. "Fine, I'll let you go. But..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLCqfqWcBW
I gave him a look.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjAWCLHfm7
He smirked. "Kiss me on the cheek."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLlulRfAJG
I rolled my eyes. "Khan..."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsrh0UBsvk
He bit the inside of his mouth.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSGJ0m5CMO
I sighed. "Fine."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTQvEkY5dv
He grinned. "Two seconds."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAtA6nCSEK
"Huh?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLCijlzaDb
"Two seconds kiss."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GVGI26mCL
I weighed my hands. "Whatever."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Xgv1O54Z
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21RPqMPSmf
"You take care!" his voice seemed like a warning.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7orNRH9xG
I nodded. "Yes, sir."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FgcM2eXip
He sighed. "I'll text you later."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy5hIVm4wj
Tumango na lang ako.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4DALh8Fka
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6SZofk2ry
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5oGtJ5Hx7
"Look who's here..." sabay pasada niya ng tingin sa akin mula ulo hanggang paa. "Still... you—vintage."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ0UPbKtVk
I raised an eyebrow. "Vintage is power, in case you don't know."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRfHUFLpYp
Her jaw clenched. "Well, I reckon you haven't seen yourself in the mirror."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiN8A5e6r2
The audacity.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesYayJwiwv
"Doesn't matter. I'm still look fresh."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbsAzQ2kSI
She sneered. "Oh, I see. Anyway, I invite you to come to my brother's birthday."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZcwXiGRbU
"Sure," I interjected.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j4BHAGZMN
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeej2luA2t
"Sabi ko naman kasi sa 'yo..." humina ang boses ni Japet nang makita ako. "Wait, is that Ran?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGjEo3t7CO
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu7UAV3Dre
"Buti naka dalaw ka rito," ani Klink nang makaupo kami sa loob ng cafeteria. "Ang sabi kasi ni Khan ay aalis daw kayong Bohol."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69iAcnH8mE
Isa pa 'yan. I wonder kung sasama sila.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQWBgNwhg0
"Hindi ba kayo sasama?" agad na tanong ko.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EBJ1lYRtq
Umiling sila. "Nope. May business proposal defense pa kami, e."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA85OxhgPOB
"Hala! Good luck," I say.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNKQWCZBQa
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePqO83L4wd
"Thanks," huling sinabi ni Klink, bago sinakop ng ingay ng alarm ang buong silid.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdDHfRFs0r
"W-what's happening?" Japet asks him.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2xCbAVNNs
Klink shrugs. "May problem siguro sa loob."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbeM3eYVp4
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeHuHAwkyU
"Ate, anong nangyayari?" I ask eagerly.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlsOwvkiAu
"May sunog sa kabilang building," agad na sagot niya at idiniin ang telepono sa tenga. "Mauna na ako, may kailangan i-rescue roon."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHFczllVsT
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.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsnynBJOiu
"Ano raw?" aniya.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQlXZZlHTS
"May sunog daw sa kabilang building," sagot ko.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahH6sqrPrl
Kumunot ang noo niya. "Aling building?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP3JO4IekX
Nagkibit ako ng balikat. "I don't know."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSdYeHikni
Tumingin siya kay Japet, nag-aalala.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95nnxhz8Ls
"Si Dani," sabay nilang sinabi.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYmSdW5aqe
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Sinong Dani?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRdOPa2bIw
Agad na tumayo ang dalawa. Habang ako ay naguguluhan na. Sinong Dani ang pinagsasabi ng mga ito?
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSodXxAZzH
"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."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEBB84fbaA
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.
