Page 6 of Not My Type, Not Yet.
Boring. I went to the infirmary after the incident and decided to just skip class dahil bigla akong tinamad. Inunan ko ang braso ko, glancing at the ceiling trying to figure out what I should do next. I move to my side and sigh, buryong buryo naako. I wonder what Knox was doing right now.
I sat and took off my jacket at isunukbit iyon sa balikat ko. I decided to leave, the smell of disinfectant makes me want to vomit. Akala ko sa hospital lang ang amoy na ganito. Hinawi ko ang kurtina and was about to walk out when I noticed a couple who just entered the infirmary while kissing.
"Hmm...baka may makakita saatin dito," the girl uttered drunkenly.
"Chill, no one is here."
I smirk, "Yea chill." I utter, making them stop midway. When they saw me agad silang nagkandaugaga.
"Puta sabi mo walang tao dito!" The girl slapped the guy's shoulder and hid behind him.
Napakamot ang lalaki, seemingly embarassed himself, "Kamalayan ko ba," he whispered
I sneer, "Before you do the deed, check your surroundings first." I can't help but laugh because of their expressions. They're like little kids who just got discovered by their mother stealing candies.
My eyes find their way to one of their nameplates. A smirk creep in my lips as I notice na freshmen palang sila. Gosh, kids these days.
I reached for my pocket, "Make sure to use protection kiddos, mahirap mag-alaga nang bata," I handed him the condom. He grinned and accepted it while the girl behind him flush because of embarrassment.
"Got it," he saluted with a mischievous smile playing on his lips. I ruffled his hair before making my way out.
Naiiling ako habang nangingiti, oh to be young and carefree, doing whatever you want without restriction. Napatigil ako, why am I sounding like a damn old person? I sigh and continue walking.
I check my phone.
It's past 10 o'clock, with nothing to do I scroll through my contact list searching for something.
Nang di ko makita ang nais kong makita I opened my gallery, I swear na kinunan ko nang picture ang map nitong paaralan.
When I finally saw it, I memorized it and found my way to Knox's office.
"I hope he won't kick me out," I mumble under my breath followed by a subtle chuckle.
When I got to his office, I knocked twice before opening the door. And there he was sitting with his glasses dangling up on his nose while reading some paper works. I leaned against the door frame.
"Sup," I voiced out to grab his attention. He slowly lifted his head, and his gaze found mine. He looked at me coldly napangisi ako sabay sipol.
"What are you doing here?" he asked in his usual tone. Nagkibit balikat ako and close the door behind me.
I walked up to him, "I'm bored." I lifted my eyebrows and sat at the chair in front of his desk. "What are you doing?" I asked habang minamata ang mga papeles na hawak nya.
"School report," he answered. I purse my lips, I feel like talking for him is such a chore kaya maikli pa sa maikli kong sumagot.
Umikot ako at pumunta sa likod nya, I admire how neat and organized his table, "Wala kabang klase?" I grabbed one of his pencils and put it in his ear.
"Wala."
Napatango ako, "Anong oras ka uuwi?" tanong kong muli.
He stopped for a moment and craned his neck to see me, he looked at me blankly kaya malapad ko syang nginitian.
"Get out." He commanded kaya napanguso ako.
"Wag ka namang ganyan, accompany me dahil bored ako," I rested my hand on the table and tilted my head to see him clearly. His thick and sharp eyes stare past my soul kaya halos manginig ako.
"Don't you have anything else to do?" he utters at bumalik na sa kanyang ginagawa paying me no mind.
"Wala kaya nga nandito ako diba?" natatawa kong saad pero hindi nya ako pinansin.
"Nga pala anong nangyarin don kay Yohan? Pinarusahan mo ba? Aba! Dapat lang tignan mo yung ginawa nya saakin!" I pointed on my forehead na may sugat pero hindi nya man lang ako nilingon. "Masakit kaya," I added pero hindi nya parin ako pinansin.
I poke his cheeks, "Pansinin mo ako hoy, pumunta ako dito para sayo tas di mo manlang ako papansinin?" pagdadabog ko but he remained indifferent. Ako nalang lagi ang naiinis! Nakakainis na!
"Once again Mr. Sevilliana, get out." I bobbed my head at his remark.
"Anyway, I have something VERY inappropriate to say," I trailed off, a grin dancing on my lips as I lean closer, "Can I have your number?" I whispered.
"No." Agarang sagot nya kaya nabura ang ngiti sa labi ko.
Napapalatak ako, "Why not?!" I questioned him with such disbelief.
"A no is a no, get out. You're not a child anymore." He reprimanded. Bumalik ako sa upuang nasa harap nya at matigas syang tinignan.
"Then I'll be staying here hangga't hindi mo binibigay ang number mo," I stubbornly declare. I grabbed the paper he was reading at winagayway yun sa harap nya. He looked at me boredly kaya tinaasan ko sya nang kilay.
"Get a life dude," aniya bago hinablot pabalik ang papel na hawak ko.
"I'll do it, but first give me your number," I prompted, which made him sigh in exhaustion. A smile of triumph weighed on my lips when he reached for his pockets and opened his phone.
"Your phone. Give me your phone," he held out his hand, maligalig ko namang binigay ang cellphone ko sakanya.
"12345 ang password," I utter, tumaas muli ang tingin nya saakin.
"Are you a kid?"
"Oo, baby mo." I giggle but then I abruptly stop laughing when I realized my own words, I shiver and my face contorted with disgust. Puta ka cringe.
"You're weird."
I clear my throat at hindi nalang sya pinansin. I still can't believe that I just said that in front of him. Fuck! I did make a fool out of myself, and the worst part is that this guy witnessed it first hand.
Inabot nya saakin ang cellphone ko kaya agad ko iyong kinuha, I held my chin trying to find the best name that will suit him. A ding of idea hit my hit kaya agad akong napangiti, I typed his contact name and saved it.
I called his number, "Save that number." I winked at him and decided to head out. "I'll get going then," I bid my goodbye, he just shook his head at hindi na ako pinagtuonan nang pansin.
I giddily made my way to the cafeteria dahil nagugutom nanaman ako. On my way, a lot of girls greeted me, I wink at them dahil maayos ang mood ko ngayon. Even the breeze smells sweet to the point that I can almost taste it.
I unlocked my phone and typed a message.
Sabay tayo uwi mamaya :)
I sent it. Seconds later my phone buzzes.
I'm busy.
Then I'll wait for you, no worries.
No need.
I insist hmm. Just cook for me.
What's this? Am I your mother?
Napatawa ako sa reply nya, I typed a message and sent it before turning my phone off.
No, but I would like to taste your cooking.
When I reached the cafeteria I happened to bump into Rafael kaya sabay na kaming pumasok. When he saw the bandage on my forehead, his forehead creased.
"What happened to you?" He asked, trying to hold back his laughter.
I shrugged my shoulder, "Some crazy dude throws a fucking rock at me." I answered and that gave him enough idea of what I did and ended up bursting into laughter.
"Gago masakit?" natatawa nyang saad. I deadpan him bago kinutosan.
"Hayop ka pala eh! What if butasan ko yang noo mo tas tanongin kita kong masakit? Hayop na to." Naiinis kong ani. He looked at me in disbelief and started shaking his head while still laughing. Sige lang maihi ka sana sa pants mo.
"Ang bobo mo kahit kelan, it's so good seeing you like that to be honest," inakbayan nya ako habang pinupunasan ang luhang tumakas sa mata nya.
"Nasaktan na nga yung tao tas natutuwa ka pa, dati kabang adik?" I yanked his arms off of my shoulder at nauna nang maglakad.
He followed me, "Pano mo nalaman?"
"Sa mukha mo palang alam ko na naadik ka," bara ko sakanya na sya namang tinawanan nya.
"Gago."
"Where's Rayne?" I asked. Rafael's eyes landed on his screen when it vibrated.
"On his way here."
Tumango nalang ako, naghanap nalang kami nang mauupoan at inantay si Rayne bago kami mag order. When he arrived the first thing that he noticed was my forehead, when I told him what really happened, he laughed at me.
Who in their right mind laughs at their friend who just got injured? Probably them because they're not in their right mind either. Mga gago.
"Uuwi ako bukas kayo?" Rayne informed us. Napatango ako, I forgot that you are allowed to go home every weekend.
"Yeah," I answered.
"I don't know, I kinda liked it in here,"
Our eyes landed on Rafael when his mischeivous tone came into surface. I eyebrows met; I squinted my eyes trying to figure out what was playing inside his big brain.
"You're up to something," I'm pretty sure this guy is up to something.
His hand found its way on his lips, he snickers. "You know me so well."
I scoff, they kept saying that I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing, but Rafael is far worse than me. He's so hard to figure out kaya minsan hindi namin alam kong ano ang nangyayari sa buhay nya.
We couldn't possibly know unless he said it himself.
"Try not to do anything stupid that might put you in danger," sermon sakanya ni Rayne.
"Chill, I'm not doing something illegal. Gusto ko lang pumarito muna, masama ba?" He grins; he swirled the pasta on his fork before putting it in his mouth.
Napailing nalang ako at hinayaan nalang sya. Whatever he does, does not concern me anymore. Malaki na sya, kaya nya na ang sarili nya.
When I finished eating agad akong tumayo, "I'll get going may klase pa ako,"
Nauna na akong umalis, I still have a class this afternoon and I still have a plate to finish.
I spend my afternoon sitting in class, not listening but in daze.
Iisa lang ang klase ko ngayong hapon kaya nang matapos, I spend the rest of my time in the library working on my plates and some of my assignments.
Puta, gusto ko na talagang makagraduate.
The sun had rested on the horizon casting golden hue everywhere, I massaged my temple and fished out my phone. I typed a message.
You done?
I sent it and waited for a couple of minutes before getting a response from him.
Almost.
I smiled, short as always.
I'll wait outside your classroom then...
Hindi ko na sya hinintay na magreply, I tidy my things at lumabas na sa library. Tinahak ko ang daan papuntang department nila, he is the pride and joy of his department, his face is all over the school kaya alam ko kong saan sya pwedeng matagpuan.
I smirk, I mean, how should I not know?
When I arrived marami na ang estudyanteng nasa labas nang kwarto, dismissal na.
I scan the whole place to find Knox, I spotted him at a distance kaya napangisi ako.
Amidst the crowds he stands out more than anyone.
With his well-built figure, his underlying presence makes him the center of attention of any occation.
He spotted me kaya kinawayan ko sya.
"Hey!" I greeted him.
"I told you not to come," bungad nya saakin na syang tinawanan ko lang.
"Pardon? you never told me anything," I retaliated, he looked at me for a second before walking past me.
I followed him, "Ano ulam natin?" I asked not minding the eyes that had been following us ever since.
"I don't know."
I purse my lips, "May dish palang 'I don't know' bago yun ah, masarap ba yan?" I teasingly utter.
Mukhang havey ata dahil hindi nya ako pinansin.
"Should we order a takeout?" I suggested.
"Delivery can't get in here."
"Oh edi magluluto ka? pano tayo kakain nyan?"
"You're so noisy," he said that left me speechless.
This is the first time that someone said that in front of my face. Ayaw ko na nga maging friendly, nagiging masama ako eh.
I pouted, ayaw ko na talaga.
