Page 11 of Not My Type, Not Yet.

"Hey," I greeted when I saw him standing on the sidewalk. I pulled over In Front of him and opened my door: I stepped out of the car. Nakapamulsa akong nakatayo sa harapan nya. I raised my eyebrows and put my hands inside the pockets of my trouser.

I leaned against my car, "What's with the change of heart?" biro ko pero tamad nya lang akong tinignan kaya napangiwi ako. Confirm bato ang isang to.

He sighs and carry his bag, umikot sya sa passenger seat kaya nagkibit balikat nalang ako at pumasok ng muli sa loob ng kotse ko, sapakin ko kaya to?

"Nasaan na yung kapatid mong madaldal?" I started a conversation dahil baka mapanis tong laway ko.

"At home," sagot nito. Tumango ako. I side-eyed him and saw that he is fastening his seat belt. Napadpad ang mata ko sa jawline nya, I smirk inwardly. This one is as handsome as me.

With his cold and unreadable face, yet his eyes contradicting it.

His deep Burgundy brown eyes, and when the sunlight caught them, it somehow turned into something more mesmerizing.

The soft, warm glow of the sun turned them into a mesmerizing golden hue.

I just noticed it when he looked down at me, and how the sunlight danced across his face.

Ethereal.

Mata lang hindi ugali.

Bumuntong hininga nalang, I started the engine of my car and drove dahil walang balak ang isang tong makipag-usap sa akin. Binaybay namin ang daan patungo sa Unibersidad, siguro mga dalawang oras at kalahati ang byahe kaya medjo matagal-tagal talaga.

I haven't visited my grandma, kong mag-isa lang sya sa mansyon nya I might feel worried for her but since kasama nya ang asawa nya eh ok na. My biological grandpa died when I was 12 and that's the painful and sorrowful day for all of us.

My grandma remarried because she couldn't handle the loneliness. She was 64 when my grandpa died. And God knows how shocked I was when I received the news na ikakasal sya ulit. I mean think about it.

"Hmm," I hum para lang may ingay akong marinig dahil para akong nabibingi dito. Nyeta. "Would you mind?" I asked habang tinuturo ang radio. Tinignan nya ako bago ang radio at umiling kaya agad kong pinaandar ang radio.

Agad na bumungad ang kantang Happy w u by Arthur Nery. I knew this song dahil paulit-ulit tong pinapatugtog ng kapatid ko dati.

"You have me already, this ain't ordinary~" I softly sang.

I've been attached with the feeling of love reciprocating

And waking up with you by my side

Stuck in the same page for ages, but, baby, you're ageless

And fate is in our hands somehow

Napangiti ako habang naiiling, sinasabayan ko kasi ang kanta. I remember how my sister sung her heart out when this part came in.

"Lipat ko ba? Corny kasi," natatawa kong baling sakanya. Nakayuko sya and seems like sleeping. He crossed his arms around his chest and meet my gaze.

"Don't." He uttered, his voice ragged and low.

I lick my lips and nodded, "I didn't know na mahilig ka sa ganyang beat."

He side-eyed me, "And I didn't know na marunong ka palang kumanta." Segunda nito. He chuckles and my eyes widen as I stare at his face. What?

My chest tightens and I swallow the lump in my throat, his voice still lingering in my consciousness. "Tsk, basic." I boasted at binalik ang tingin sa kalsada.

"Nga pala are you hungry?" I asked dahil ako kanina pa gutom. I scrunch my nose, I want burger.

"Bakit pag sinabi ko bang oo, ililibre mo ako?" Panunuya nito.

I smirked, "Say less."

I drove to a nearby Mcdo mag d-drive thru nalang kami. "What do you want?" Baling ko sa kanya.

"Anything," aniya habang nasa cellphone ang atensyon. I nodded and ordered the same thing for him. I was about to pay when I remembered something.

"Excuse me ate, pakidagdag po yung Coke float, thank you." I said. Tumango sya at nilista ang pinadagdag ko.

"Pakihintay nalang po ng order nyo don sa dulo, salamat po," aniya kaya tumango ako.

"So...wala kang gagawin mamaya?" tanong ko. Usually, kasi ganitong oras ang dami nyang ginagawa, given by the fact that he is the school President also, this fucker is taking up Computer Science. "May sira pala ang laptop ko pwede mong tignan?" I added.

"What happened?" he finally asked. He turns off his phone and focuses his attention on me. Napangiti ako.

"Ayaw nang ma open nag bblack nalang ang screen," I said.

Sa totoo my laptop is working perfectly.

"Virus maybe."

I shrugged my shoulders, "Maybe."

"Tanga ka kasi."

Anak ng?

Tinapunan ko sya ng masamang tingin. Napaka kupal ng isang to ang sarap talagang bangasan. Hinigpitan ko ang pagkakahawak ko sa manibela, I exhale and reminded myself that violence won't do good for me.

"Kupal," I murmur under my breath. Looks like he heard it, he immediately shot an arrow with his eyes hitting me with an immense force. "Kupalag ka? papalag ka raw ba sabi nong radio," I laugh awkwardly.

Hayop.

Kinuha ko nalang ang order ko at binigay sa kanya ang isang supot. I handed him the Coke float kaya nagtataka nya akong tinignan.

"Ano yan?"

"Paa ng baboy at manok malamang coke float," sarkastikong saad ko. Tinaas ko ang coke float na hawak ko sa mukha nya. "You like it right?"

He looked at me jadedly kaya napalabi ako, "Kunin mo nalang!" naiinis kong singhal. I grabbed his hand a sapilitang binigay sa kanya ang hawak ko.

"How did you know?" napairap ako dahil sa tanong nya.

"When I went to your office to get your number I noticed na merong cup don na may coke float sa basurahan, and figure that you liked it," kibit balikat kong saad. I glance at my watch and saw that malalim na ang gabi.

"I'm not the only one at the office you know," he coldly uttered and opened the cup.

"Nah. I knew that it's yours," I lazily turned the wheel and continued our path.

"How can you be so sure?"

I grin, "Oh, I knew for sure." I tilted my head to see him, I reached for his lips with my other hand and the other maneuvering the car. "No one wears a tinted lip balm other than you Knox," I slide my thumb over his lips and chuckle.

"You like to wear lip balm to moisturize your lips, but I bet you didn't know na tinted ang ginagamit mo. So, your lips are often pinkish in color, a pale pink to be precise." I shrugged at binalik ang tingin sa daan.

He harshly yanked my hands off, "Hands off Sevilliana. You're creepy," nangingilabot nyang saad.

Humalakhak ako, "Yeah? whatever Mr. President."

I kept on yapping all the way, tas sya puro tango or hindi kaya hindi ako pinapansin but that's alright as long as he's not complaining by my constant yapping it's all good.

Narating namin ang paaralan bandang alas-diyes ng gabi and saw that maybe student are arriving also. I somehow hated his school to be honest. But now I kinda like it here. I grin, well what can I say, people do change somehow.

"Club? meron din pala yan dito?" I asked as I took a sip in my coffee. Nasa cafeteria kaming tatlo right now and Rafael brought up about the club thingy.

"Yeah, I think marami ng poster na nagkalat dito. Tignan nyo nalang sa announcement board," Rafael informed us. Napatango ako, club huh?

"Taking Archery?" My eyes landed on Rayne when he spoke. I clicked my tongue.

"I'm not so sure, let's see about it and besides tinatamad akong sumali," I boredly said. Napadpad ang tingin ko sa labas ng Cafeteria and saw someone doing his usual routine.

What's up?

I sent him a message. I observed him for a few minutes to see if he'd reply but to my dismay ni hindi nya man lang binuksan ang cellphone nya. Workaholic jerk. Won't even spare a single glance at me. How despicable.

I purse my lips at binulsa na lang ang cellphone. I rested my knuckles on my temples, unti-unting gumuhit ang ngiti sa labi ko. Actually, his not that cold hearted as I thought he would be. He's a human and has emotions.

Perfect.

"You're not actually thinking about something aren't you?" Rafael asked suspiciously. I sneered and patted his shoulder.

"I'm not as jerk as you are so no, I'm not plotting something," he chuckled and brushed my hand off of his shoulder.

"Oh no, you're making me look like a bad guy here I'm so sad," he faked an ugly cry na syang kinatawa ko. "I'm so hurt," he added with his hand on his chest.

Lumipad ang kamay ko sa likod ng ulo nya, "Gago, ang pangit mo talaga." Kutya ko dito habang tumatawa.

"Bobo mas pangit ka sa sobrang pangit mo pati anit ko nahiya na sayo," balik nito sa akin dala kaltok.

"Bakit nahihiya? makakalbo kana ba?" humalakhak kami sa sarili naming biro.

"Puta si Rayne parang problemado," puna nito nang hindi nakikisabay si Rayne saamin. Rayne lifted his head from his phone, winagayway nya ito and smirked. Napangisi din kami dahil alam na namin kong ano ang ibig sabihin non.

"Babaero," natatawa kong saad. Kinaasan nya lang ako ng kilay habang naglalaro pa rin ang ngisi sa labi nya.

"Bakit ikaw hindi?"

I sneer, "Mas malala ka gago." He shook his head at binalik ang kanyang mata sa screen ng kanyang cellphone.

I drank the last drop of my coffee before standing up. "I'll get going." Paalam ko.

"Where to?" Rafael asked, his eyes glued to his phone.

"Somewhere, kong saan hindi ko maamoy yang bulok mong hininga," tumalikod na ako at nagsimulang maglakad papalayo sa kanila. I heard how Rafael cuss at me na syang tinawanan ko lang.

Binulsa ko ang kamay ko habang binabaybay ang daan patungo sa office nya. Ganitong oras kasi nandon sya doing his usual boring work. Taking care of the school like he owned it. Mas busy pa sya sa mga senior namin eh.

"Hey Knox," I stopped in my tracks when a cute petite girl stopped in front of me. I looked at her jadedly.

"Yes?"

She licked her lips and shyly looked down, "I heard na roommate mo si Knox," simula nya. My eyebrows knitted.

"And then?"

She handed me a letter and a box of cookies; with a soft and awkward voice she uttered. "Pakibigay po sa kanya, don't tell him na galing sa akin."

My eyes went blank, I caressed the letter and retreated my hand, "He's allergic to cookies." I said, umangat ang mukha nya sa gulat.

"Really?"

I nodded, "Masasayang lang yang effort mo pag binigay ko sa kanya yan." I reason out, she sadly lowered her head.

"I didn't know," mahina at puno ng hinanakit na saad nya.

I patted her head, "Better luck next time little girl."

Nagsimula na akong maglakad papalayo sa kanya when she tugged the hem of my shirt, I crane my neck to see her.

"What now?"

She hesitated, "Kahit itong letter na lang." She pleaded. Hinarap ko syang muli, I looked at her letter blankly.

"You know what he likes bold women yung kaya syang iapproach ng harap-harapan. If you do that baka magkaroon ka ng chance sa kanya," I shrugged my shoulder, "Just a piece of advice," I continued.

"Do you think he will like me?"

I smirked, "Maybe yes, maybe no. It really depends on how you will play your card. Well then, excuse me." And with that tuluyan ko na siyang iniwan don.

Actually, I didn't even know if he likes cookies or not.

Pagdating ko sa office nya I was about to knock when I heard some soft and airy voice coming through the gapping door.

I leaned my back against the wall and crossed my arms around my chest. This isn't eavesdropping, this is investigating.

"Yeah, you can start next month," he uttered with such calmness and gentleness. Something that is just so foreign to me.

"Thank you, hindi ko alam kong paano namamalakad ang student council pero dahil sayo naging mas madali na," A sweet, cottony voice echoed through my ear. I peck a little and saw the same boy from last time.

Zyran.

"You're always welcome Zyran, talk to me when you need something ok?"

I closed my eyes tightly, his sweet and calm voice echoing in my head. Something I could never hear when I was the one talking to him.

"Nako, kaya ko na to. Salamat nalang talaga."

He laughed. I lowered my head, a grin dancing on my lips. Fucking hell, Villanueva.

That goddamn tone of his.

I brushed my hair up and bit my lips feeling helpless and frustrated. Ah...Knox, you really know how to pissed me off so badly.
