[b]♥ 2.1 ♥[/b] “Cheska! Cheska daaallliiii!!” Mom called me nung nasa taas ako at nag aayus pa lang. Nagulat ako kala ko may sunog kaya bumaba agad ako. “Ma bakit?!” I exclaimed. “K-KENT?!” “Yo.” He greeted. Nagulat ako. Bat siya nandito?! “Bakit ka nandito?” I asked him. “Iho, teka, boyfriend ka ba ni Cheska?” Mama asked. “MAMA!” I yelled. Tumawa si Kent. “No, Ma’am. Hindi po.” “Ma, iwan niyo muna kami.” I said. “Okay sabi mo e..” humagikgik si Mama sabay alis. Napailing ako. “Bakit ka ba pumunta dito? Ang aga aga pa.” I said. “I’m taking you to school. Think of it as a thank you gift as of yesterday.” I shook my head. “No need. Tsaka bakit ka pumunta dito with your rebel look? You should’ve as least groomed yourself.” “Yabang mo. Sumama ka na lang. Antayin kita dito.” “Wag na. Wag mo na akong pasalamatan.” Nakakaasar tong lalaking ‘to ah. Dangkulit. “Andito na ako, tsaka mo pa ako paaalisin?” “You should’ve at least texted me noh.” “May number mo ba ako?” “Give me your phone.” He handed it to me, aba iPhone pa. I inserted my number. “Ayan. Tsk. Antayin mo ko dito.” -- “WHAT? Gusto mong sumakay ako sa motor mo? Paano kung mamatay ako agad dahil diyan? Wag na. Mg jijeep ako.” “Come on now. Wag ka nang mag inarte.” I started walking away but he followed me around hanggat dun na sa maraming tao. “Ano ba, Kent, mauna ka na, pwede?!” “Hindi pwede. Kungdi ka sasakay…” “Ano?” He smiled. “BABES, PLEASE PATAWARIN MO NA AKO… MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA… SUMAMA KA NA SAKIN O… !!—” I reddened and I covered his mouth. “You idiot!!” Pinag tinginan kami ng mga tao. I gave him a glare at nginitian niya ako. I grunted and I clicked my tongue. It leaves me no choice, sumakay na ako sa motor niya. “Bilisan mo dali!!” “As you wish.” At humarurot na nga siya. Taeng nakakahiya yun ah. Badtrip~!! “T-Teka, Kent! Bat ang bilis mo magpatakbo-?!” “Para enjoy, dib a?” Pinabilis niya pa lalo. “A-AH! Baka mamatay ako agad nito~!!” Napailing ako, it left me no choice. Bwisit. I hugged him from behind. Oo na, I blushed. This is the first time I had full body contact with a guy. Bwisit talaga. As we reached the school, bumaba agad ako sabay tingin sa paligid. Wala naman sigurong nakakita samin di ba?! May nakita akong isang babae, and it was Chiles. She was looking at us. Napalingon ako nung tumabi sakin si Kent. He was also looking at Chiles. Do they know each other? Just at the moment Chiles was walking towards us, Kent suddenly held my hand. “Huy anong ginagawa mo-?” “Let’s go.” He pulled me away, holding my hand so tight. Napalingon ako kay Chiles, she was wearing an expression of… Loneliness? As we reached the gate, we stopped walking, and I immediately pulled my hand away. That was horrible, first time body contact and first time holding hands with this guy! ARRGH. “Ano bang problema mo? Sakit ng kamay ko… Nakita mo lang si Chiles e..—” I paused for a moment and looked up to him. “Chiles... Is…” He suddenly walked away from me. Oh gosh. Si Chiles nga yung babaeng gusto niya? Whoa. He has taste. Pero bat aman ganun yung reaction niya, it was somehow, unpleasant. Wew. Siguro nabasted siya nun. Whatever. Gotta go to the SC room. -- “Morning.” “W-Whoa!” Nagulat ako pagpasok ko nung SC room. Andun kasi si Paul Jake. Natawa siya. “S-Sorry. Ahaha. Hindi kasi ako sanay.” “Haha. Tingin ko nga.” I went to my table and started cleaning it. I suddenly remembered Kent. Kamusta na kaya yun… “Hey, Paul Jake.” I called him. “Yeah?” He asked. “Do you… Know Chiles Vasquez?” I asked. Natigilan siya, and the same expression was seen through his face. He looked at me, and he awkwardly smiled. “B-Bakit?” “Kasi kanina, nakita namin ni Kent si Chiles… Bigla niya akong hinatak e… Di ko alam kung bakit.” Napakagat ng labi si Paul Jake. Mukhang may past nga ah. “P-Pero kung ayaw mo sabihin yung alam mo okay lang—” “Chiles was a friend.” “Was?” He nodded. “She was an old friend, and—” Then the warning bell signaled us. “Oh dang, tara na, Paul Jake. Malate pa tayo.” Sayang hindi ko maririnig yung tungkol kay Chiles. Tss. -- I sat on my seat, then I felt that there was something weird. OH DANG. Pagtayo ko, merong maruming basahan sa upuan ko. “Yuck!” Kent burst out laughing. “What and idiot. Bulag ka ba?” He suddenly told me sabay tawa ule. Nakakapikon ‘to ah. I threw it to him. “Maaga pa, Kent. At pwede ba, yang buhok mo ha, para kang porcupine, and look at those earrings, nakakairita.” “Wag mo ngang pakielaman ang fashion sense ko.” Sabay tawa ulit. Umupo na ako and I cleared my throat and started arranging my stuffs. Ang weird nitong lalaking ‘to. Kanina parang nakakita ng multo tapos ngayun naman… Haist. Whatever. He suddenly took out his MP4. “Huy, bawal yan dito…!” “Walang bawal bawal sa batas.” Then he sticked his tongue out and started lilstening. “Kent! Macoconfiscate yan.” “Kung ibibigay ko.” Then he started singing in front of me. Some of my classmates looked at us, taeng ‘to. Pero oo, he has voice, kaso nakakahiya kasi sakin siya nakaharap. Eeeeewww. Umiling iling ako and then did my thing. Badtrip. Ang kulit. Ewan ko ba. Dati, when I see students who violate rules, I immediately tell teachers and all, pero bakit itong taong ‘to… Hmph. Hindi ko matiis. Grabeng charisma. Arrgh. -- “Bakit mo ba ako sinusundan?” I asked him kasi naglalakad si Kent sa likod ko. “Hindi kita sinusundan, sadyang dito rin ang daan ko.” He replied sabay tawa. This guy… I entered the SC room, at sumunod siya. “Bakit ka pumasok?!” “Bakit bawal ba?” He asked once again. “Oo.” He jumped on the couch sabay sabi: ‘ASA.” I scratched my head clicked my tongue. “Wala kang mapuntahang iba noh?” I asked him. “Wala e. Baka mapaaway lang uli ako pag umalis pa ako.” I shook my head. I looked around. “Paul Jake’s not here.” “Seems like it.” He replied. “I’ll go to sleep muna.” He said. [i][b] Whatever. This guy is just so difficult to handle.[/b] [/i]
