Page 4 of Not My Type, Not Yet.

After the conversation between the dean (the guy who welcomed us) and my father, we went inside the campus, and I could say that this school is that well off also.

From the infrastructure, grounds, just everything about this school feels unreal.

Akala ko talaga kasi luma yung mga building but it's quite the opposite.

"On the right side, you can see the cafeteria, 24/7 na open yan so you can access that anytime," Knox said as he toured us around the campus.

Napatango-tango ako, "May Cr ba dyan? what if I decided to visit the cafeteria at around 3 am, may mag sserve ba sakin?" I asked.

"I forgot to mention na pag masyadon nang late, mag sself service kayo dyan. We have different vendo machines there and may counter kong saan pwede kang magluto ng sarili mong pagkain."

Napatango akong muli. I levelled his pace and side-eyed him, he glanced at me for a second before returning his gaze ahead.

"I'll give you the student handbook later so that you can be aware kong paano namamalakad ang paaralang ito." He said coldly. I grin, damn this guy. I can't even tell if his bored or napipilitan lang syang itour kami.

"Nasan pala yung cr?" I asked. Huminto sya kaya huminto rin kami. He looked at me for a second before pointing somewhere the horizon.

Kumunot ang noo ko, sa field?

"Sa field?"

"Hindi, don sa ilog."

I deadpan him, humalakhak naman sina Rayne at Rafael na nasa likuran lang namin. Tangina.

I shrugged, "Really?" I smirked at him pero hindi nya ako pinansin. I clear my throat trying to swallow the embarrassment I had felt.

Inakbayan naman ako ni Rafael when I slowed down, "Mukhang mahihirapan ka ata ah," he teased. I nudge him and yank his hands off of my shoulder.

I lick my lips a mischievous smile slowly creeping in my lips, "Fuck off."

"Let him Raf. Let him make a fool out of himself," Napabaling ako kay Rayne. He's walking casually with his hands in his pockets.

"Shut up." I retorted, he just laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

"I think you'll get trapped sooner or later with your own games asshole," tumawa sya. I roll my eyes, this again?

"Hell nah! sila ang mattrap at hindi ako. You know me very well Rayne, you know that I hated being trapped in my own games, I have my ways, and I will always find my way." Kampanteng saad ko.

I tsked and followed Knox. I swear I'll squeeze some juices out of this ice guy. He seems interesting to play with, so I'll bear with his impudence to just ignore me. Ako na to oh! si Austine Yohan Sevilliana ang pinakamasarap na nilalang sa balat ng lupa.

Mahiya naman sya dahil hindi nya ako pinapansin.

"Let's go to the dorm manager," he utters and makes a U-turn dahilan para mapaharap sya saakin.

I smile at him, "Anong gagawin natin don?" I asked.

"Lalangoy," sagot nya at nilampasan ako. Biglaang bumagsak ang bibig ko, gago yun ah.

The two giggle kaya mas lalong umasim ang mukha ko.

"Tapos naba tayo sa tour? anong gagawin natin sa dorm manager nyo?" I scoff when Rayne asked the same question I had just asked, tagalog nga lang.

Tamo he'll answer you just like how he answered a pure curiosity question of mine.

"Kukunin natin ang dorm key ninyo."

Ay biased.

My face crumble as I followed them, mga pangit ang ugali. Mga hindi nag grade 2. My eyes caught his figure as he calmly walks and guide us. Did I forget to tell na dala-dala parin namin ang mga maleta namin kaya hakot atensyon talaga kami.

Some students greeted him in which he only replied with a nod. I can totally say that this man is highly respected in this school, I saw different women stealing glances at him while giggling. Famous pala ang gago.

Looking at him now, he's handsome despite his stoic face, firm and poise, just what the girls wanted. A man they could melt, but I doubted that this man could be melted. I scoff mentally, let's see.

"Knox, sila naba?" A middle-aged woman wearing a luxurious pink neon dress greeted us, with a bright smile plaster on her lips.

Knox nodded his head, "Yeah, Aunt Mellis," Maikling sagot nito.

She beamed as she looked past Knox's shoulder just to see us. Umikot sya sa desk nya and pumunta sa harap. I almost closed my eyes dahil nasisilaw ako sa suot nyang damit.

"Ang popogi nyo naman. You can call me Aunt Mellis mga iho, ako yung dorm manager nyo so kong mag may mga issue kayo sa dorms nyo, lumapit lang kayo saakin." She extended her hand kaya isa-isa namin iyong tinanggap.

"Thank you, Aunt Mellis. That pink dress looked great on you," Si Rayne. I almost let out a laugh, tanginang Rayne, he's at it again. Acting like some good person to gain their trust.

She giggles and softly slapped Rayne on the shoulder, "Napaka bolerong bata."

Rayne chuckled and reached for her hand and kissed the back of her hand. "Can I have my own dorm?"

I smirk, sabi na eh. I saw Rafael shaking his head while grinning. Cunning bastard.

Aunt Mellis cackles, "Aba oo naman! I can arrange for that."

Rayne steps backward as Aunt Mellis runs back to her desk and starts working on her computer. Rayne gave us a smile of success. Binatokan ko sya kaya napa halakhak sya.

"Gago ka talaga," I whispered, natatawa parin.

"Paturo nga," gatong ni Rafael kaya nagtawanan kami.

Tumahimik lang kami ng bumalik si Aunt Mellis sa harap namin. Masaya syang ngumiti habang inaabot ang susi kay Rayne.

"Sa fifth floor ka anak, 504, wala kang kasama don." She handed the key to Rayne which the asshole received happily.

"Thanks Auntie."

Napailing nalang kami dahil sa mga pinanggagawa nya. My eyes landed on Knox, my lips immediately tugged for a smirk when I saw him looking at me. He yet again avoided his gaze.

Aunt Mellis go back to her desk and typed something, "Nga pala si..." she paused, she grabbed her glasses that was dangling in her chest and wears it, tumingin muna sya kay Rayne, "Anong palangan mo iho?" she asked.

"Rayne."

She nodded her head, "Rayne, ah so si Rafael at Austine ay sa second floor, Room 208." She said, handing the key to Rafael.

"Does Mr. President have a roommate?" I asked. Knox looked at me with the same expression, I just shrugged and grinned.

"Ah si Knox, oo si Preston, gusto mo ba syang maging roommate?" aniya kaya napatango ako.

"You see Aunt Mellis, I'm a very shy person so I need someone who I can ask about something about this school, someone like Mr. President over here," I said. I put my hands over my chest and acted pitiful.

Her forehead creased as she pouted her lips, merely sympathizing, "Kawawa ka naman..." I nodded and pretended to wipe my imaginary tears, "...pero hindi pwede eh, kaylangan mong kausapin yung kabilang parte kong papayag ba syang lumipat."

Ay, sayang akala ko lusot na.

I clear my throat, "So, kaylangan ko lang na mapapayag syang lumipat?" Tumango naman sya.

"Let's not do that, we should learn how to be respectful towards others," napabaling ako kay Knox ng magsalita sya.

"Kaya nga I'll ask him to move, no?" I sarcastically utter.

He looked at me coldly, "Don't bother other people."

I scoff, "It won't take long," I insisted. He just boredly looked at me and I returned it with a smug smile.

Naputol ang titigan namin when a loud thud echoes in every corner of this lounge, napatingin kami sa pinanggalingan ng tunog. I saw a petit boy picking some oranges on the floor, sa gilid nito ay ang nagkalat na bottle ng C2 na red.

"Aba'y Preston, anak! ano bayang bata ka," dali-daling lumapit sakanya si Aunt Mellis at tinulongan sya.

Preston? I side-eyed Knox, napangisi akong muli, kong siniswerte ka nga naman.

Agad din akong lumapit kay Preston, I bend over and picked some oranges before handing it him. Napatingala sya saakin kaya agad ko syang nginitian, hindi ko masyadong makita ang mukha nya dahil sa bangs na nakaharang sa mukha nya, but I'm pretty sure na when he saw me biglang nanlaki ang mata nya.

Bakit ba? assuming ako eh.

"S-salamat," he stammers. Tumango ako at yumuko.

"Say Preston, roommate mo ba si Kn---I mean ang school president?" I asked kindly. He stares at me for a couple of seconds before nodding.

"A-ah oo."

Tumango ako, "Can we change room? I need his guidance kasi bago palang ako dito," kinuha ko ang plastic bag na sana lapag at isa-isang nilagay don ang mga orange na nahulog.

He hesitated for a moment, "M-mahirap lumipat ng room," he utters quietly.

I sigh, "I'll help you move your things, what do you say?" I prompted happily. I need to make him agree to this. Tumama ang mata namin and I saw how he flinches. Nagkasalubong naman ang kilay ko, gago nakakatakot baako?

"P-pero---"

"Enough Austine, tinatakot mo ang tao," I heard Rafael's voice in the background, laughing. Gagong to.

I clicked my tongue and harshly crane my neck to his direction, "Ulol mo, wala nga akong ginagawa," inis kong singhal sakanya na sya namang tinawanan lang nila.

Mga ungas.

Bumalik ang tingin ko kay Preston, "Anyways, as I was saying let's----" naputol ang syang sasabihin ko when I saw his expression, eyes widen in pure shock. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa kamay nya, he's trembling, I squinted my eyes and turn my hill to follow his line of vision.

And there, I saw what he was looking at. Rafael. He's looking at his phine, grinning while biting his lips. Mukhang may madali ata ang isang to ha.

Mukhang napansin ni Rafael ang titig namin kaya napatingin sya saamin, he looked at me and raised me an eyebrow, tinaasan ko rin sya ng kilay, bakit nakatingin sakanya si Preston?

He shrugged his shoulders and was about to look down on his phone when his eyes caught something---or someone. Umusog ako and I saw that he is also looking at Preston with the same expression.

I squinted my eyes, could it be?

"Get your keys, I'll accompany you to your dorms," a strong, heavy hand landed on my shoulder. Napatangla ako at nakita si Knox, na seryosong nakatingin saakin.

I chuckle softly, "Shut it." I yanked his hands off and stands up. I extended my hand in front of Preston kaya nabaling ang tingin sya saakin.

"Let's exchange room," I said. Agaran nya namang iniling ang kanyang ulo. Damn.

"A-ayaw ko," his voice quivers.

I tsked, fuck!

"He said it." Napa-irap ako sa lalaking to, kong hindi kalang school president binigwasan na kita.

"Can I have someone who's familiar in this school accompany me?... in my room?"

Rafael's voice rang through my ear when he approached me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Ano to?

"Someone like... that school secretary," he's eyes landed on Preston. "I think it would be better na may kasama kaming pamilyar na sa paaralang ito, remember this is our first time being admitted to a boarding school kaya mahihirapan talaga kaming mag adjust."

Knox eyes pierced through him like he's evaluating his whole life, I side-eyed Rafael and he just smirked at me. Binabalak nito?

"Ganon ba?" Aunt Mellis who is still picking oranges stands up. Pinagpagan nya ang nakakasilaw nyang dress at ngumiti. "Arrange ko nalang, pag bigyan mo na Knox, ganyan din naman kayo dati." She smiled and headed to her desk, napakilay nalang ako sabay ngiting tagumay.

"Hey Bambino," Umalis sa tabi ko si Rafael at pumunta sa tapat ni Preston. "Let's get along, hmm?"

He then extended his hand, nang hindi tinanggap ni Preston ang kamay nya he retrieved it and put it inside his pockets.

"Rude," he sneakers, halatang aliw na aliw.

"Boys! get your keys here, Preston ibigay mo nalang dyan sa pogi ang spare key mo ha?" tawag ni Aunt Mellis.

I turned my head to where Knox was standing, he looked at me, more like he was glaring at me behind his cold stare. I tilted my head and beam at him. Wala kang kawala sakin. Let see what will happen, I'll juice you out, Mr. Cold blooded President.
