Page 7 of Not My Type, Not Yet.

"Austine bro!" I crane my neck to see the owner of the voice who just called me. Kinawayan nya ako nang makita nya ako, I just ignored him and continued walking.

"Gago saglit!!" rinig kong sigaw nya pero nagbingi-bingihan lang ako. When he finally leveled my pace hinawakan nya ang balikat ko.

I yanked his hand off of my shoulder, "Kaylangan mo?" masungit kong anang. Tinapik nya ang balikat ko sabay batok sakin kaya napa palatak ako, gago yun ah.

"Puta! gusto mo atang maputolan nang kamay ano?' singhal ko dito pero ang gago tinawanan lang ako.

"Chill dude, ireremind lang sana kita na may quiz tayo mamaya sa isa nating major," he informed me. Nagsimula na akong maglakad tungo sa classroom namin.

"Do I look like I care hmm? Joshein?" walang ganang sagot ko. I saw in my peripheral vision that he scratched his nape.

"Look, I just wanted to inform you dahil nakatulog ka habang nag-aannounce ang prof natin," bugrot nito na syang hindi ko naman pinansin.

"Well then, thanks." I simply reply. Wala ako sa mood ngayon.

I initially plan to cook our breakfast today pero ang puta itlog na nga lang ang piniprito ko nasunog pa kaya ayun nagmumukha nanaman akong tanga. Kay galing.

I exhale sharply bat kasi wala akong talent sa pagluluto.

"I'll give you a head if you don't know," habol nya.

"Disgusting bro!" komento ko na syang ikinatawa nya.

I just shook my head and continued walking.

I met Joshein just a week after we transfeered here, sya lang ata ang naglakas nang loob na lumapit sa akin.

Rayne, Rafael and I screwed ourselves yet again last last saturday, we ran into a bunch of tugs and Rayne being a dick headed as he is, pinatulan.

Kaya ayon, headline sa campus.

Pag dating sa classroom agad akong umupo sa dulo at dumukdok, I still think about the egg that I failed to perfect. Sayang.

"Uhmm...excuse me,"

A soft girly voice rang through my ear pero di ko pinansin. Should I let him teach me? Yeah, I should. It would be an honor na matuturoan nya ang isang tulad ko.

"Austine..."

Who in their right mind would decline a kindhearted and genuine request of mine.

"Is he asleep?"

"I think not, kakadating nya lang eh."

Nagkasalubong ang kilay ko, can these two get away? nakakainis na kita mong nag-iisip yung tao eh.

"I've already reported to the dean the things that needed immediate attention."

My head jolted to look for the owner the voice I just heard making the two girl's shoulders jump in surprise.

"Austine?"

I walked past them; I saw Knox walking just outside our room kaya agad akong lumabas.

"Pres!" bati ko. Agad naman syang napahinto, dumako ang tingin nya sa akin. He adjusted his glasses.

"Mr. Sevilliana what do you want?" ay ang taray naman.

I smirk. I leaned against the wall and raised him an eyebrow, "You busy?" I asked.

"Yeah." He answered in his usual tone.

I nodded, "Then I'll call you later, sabay tayong kumain." I wink at him at hindi na hinintay ang kanyang sasabihin, pumasok na ako sa loob nang classroom.

The two girls were still standing in front of my desk kaya tinaasan ko sila ng kilay.

"What do I owe you a pleasure ladies?" I sat on top of my desk and faced them. I tilted my head, flashed a grin and crossed my arms around my chest.

I looked at them from head to toe, my grin grew even wider. Ladies from this university sure got some good racks, just look at Knox, well-built, firm, a person who exudes such aura.

The girl with a pink hair clip finally spoke, "A-ahh, I just wanted to lend you my notebook. May quiz tayo mamaya sa Architectural Comm. 4," she then handed me her notebook. Bumaba don ang tingin ko, it's pink and girly with bunnies and flowers.

"Hmm..." Kinuha ko ang notebook sa kamay nya. She beamed before turning to her friend. "What's your name?" I asked.

Her eyes widen as she stares at me, her cheeks slowly turning rosy. My eyes went blank, I do hope girls won't let themselves sway by any handsome men, some of them are jerks...like me.

"Jessie," as soon as I heard that name I choked on my saliva. Tangina?

I burst into laughter kaya nagtataka nila akong tinignan, shit! I just can't. The girl looked offended kaya tumigil ako, I wiped the tears that escaped my eyes.

"Look, sorry, I'm not laughing at you, ok?" I tried to clear things up. Because of your name is what I wanted to say but choose not to.

What's wrong with my existence at malapitin ako sa mga babaeng Jessie ang pangalan.

"Amm... may I ask why did you laugh?"

"No, you may not," I playfully utter. Her lips pursed kaya lumawak muli ang ngisi sa labi ko. Oh dear...

"So mean," she mumbles under her breath, almost sounding like she is sulking.

Binalik ko ang notebook sakanya, "Thanks baby girl, but I can handle this." I wink at her, wala sa sarili nyang tinanggap ang notebook.

I feel so tired already, gusto ko nang umuwi kaso first subject pa lang to. Hindi ko kaklase si Joshein sa iba kong subject dahil iba ang section nya which is good because that guy is a certified chatterbox and I hated it.

My first subject begins which is Art Appreciation, I yawn and fished my phone out of my pocket.

I typed a message and sent it to him.

I'm bored. Kunin mo nga ako dito :((

No response, I typed another message and sent it.

Di pala ako naka uniform.

Still no response. I sigh and turn off my phone.

I unbutton my shirt, loosen my tie revealing a white sando beneath it na hapit na hapit sa katawan ko. I relaxed my back and boredly turn my attention up ahead.

"Even during primitive times, man does not just craft tools to live and survive but also to express his or her feelings and thoughts. It was recorded in history—MR. SEVILLIANA!!"

A roar erupted in every corner of this room, passerby was shocked because of his sudden outburst and decided to see what was happening.

"Yes Mr. Kyphlosi?" I asked, feigning innocence.

His forehead creased deeply as he scans me. His thick, arrogant face mocks me in different languages.

"What do you think you're doing?" he throws a fucking marker at my direction which I easily dodge.Woah! easy there tiger.

I pick it up and swirl it on my thumb, "Sitting? why? what's wrong?" I asked innocently.

His fiery eyes burned as he looked at me. If humans can produce a smoke through their ears whenever they are angry, it would be visible in the naked eye right now.

"How impudent, hindi mo ba nabasa yung handbook?!!" Galit nyang sigaw sakin.

I shrugged my shoulder, "Is it necessary?" I blankly stare at him. He's around 30+ years old and had no wife in his life kaya ganon burgotin amputa. "Does it matter whether I'm wearing a uniform or not?"

He scowled, "Wag mong ipakita na wala kang pinag-aralan Mr. Sevilliana," his tone laced with pure mockery. We all know about his irrational outburst sometimes, just a slight mess and he'll mock and yelled at you.

I shrugged my shoulders, "If that's the case then you might consider questioning yourself Mr." I utter without a care.

"What?!" hindi makapaniwalang singhal nya sa akin. The frown on his forehead deepens even more.

"Just sayin'"

"You dare you to mock me?!" he walked towards me and grabbed me by my collar.

Napatayo ako ng wala sa oras making the other student gasp in surprise.

A smirk slowly creeping in my lips as I stare at him blankly. "What? did I say it wrong? look prof, pag mainit ang ulo mo wag ka sanang mandamay ano? just keep it to yourself. I heard na pinatawag ka ng dean kahapon? I wonder what happened?" I tilted my head and grin at him.

His eyes dilated after hearing what I just said.

We exchanged a few heated stares, the way he looked at me could easily kill me but I did not back down. I licked my lips and bobbed my head smugly. Sinong tinatakot mo? mama mo? ha! pathetic.

He harshly let go of my collar, "Walang kwenta!"

I raised my eyebrows, puta problema non? kong may problema man sya sa buhay nya wag syang mandamay, nakakabwesit naman tong taong to.

Kalbohin ko yun eh.

Inayos ko ang damit ko, tsk madumi na. Instead of continuing his lesson agaran syang lumaba pero bago yun he throws dagger looks at me before storming out at his convenience.

The class fell silent after that, no one dare to speak—all eyes are on me.

"I'll melt if you continue staring at me like that," I said while fixing the sleeve of my polo.

No one utter a single word till our next subject arrived...means Joshein is here also.

"Why so tahimik mga madlang people?!!!" he shouted as soon as he enter the classroom.

"Ingay mo, istaple ko yang bibig mo eh," reklamo ng isa kong kaklase.

I rested my back and folded my arms, antok ako.

"What if tagain kita? manahimik ka nga!"

I closed my eyes and pay them no mind, I want this day to end already. Ang daming ganap.

"Austine! mah bro! kamusta ang buhay natin!" A strong hand slapped my shoulder, napadilat ako only to see Joshein grinning in front of me like a fucking idiot.

If he only knew how much I want to punch is very gut would he still have the energy to pester me with his loud mouth?

"I'll cut your tongue off pag nagsalita kapa," banta ko sakanya. Umasim ang mukha nya, he purse his lips and acted like he was zipping it.

Nag thumbs up sya saakin kaya wala sa oras na napaikot ang mata ko.

Umupo sya sa tabi ko, "May nakita ako kanina--- puta sabi ko nga mananahimik."

He immediately stopped blabbering as soon as my cold and sharp gaze landed on me.

Our second subject of the day started, and of course may quiz nanaman.

"I hope nakaprepare kayo para sa quiz nato, you must remember na 30% of your grade galing sa mga quizzes nyo. Anong silbi kong mataas ang score nyo sa exam tas puro kayo bokya sa quiz—"

Joshein interrupted him, "Ready na kami prof, baka pwede nang simulan ano?" he smiled at him. Natawa ang ibang kaklase namin sakanya, dyan ata sya nagmana eh parehas madaldal.

"Oh amm! of course Mr. Terrence, just make sure na makaperfect ka ha. Right minus wrong tayo dito," he started to hand out the test paper.

"Damn, paktay agad," Joshein sigh, napailing nalang ako at tinanggap ang test paper.

"Sure kang magiging ok ka----"

"No talking Mr.Terrence, minus 10 ka saakin tamo,"

"Tahi-tahimik ko dito prof oh! sabi ko nga tatahimik na, ang daldal kasi."

Hindi nalang namin sila pinansin, those two really get along well. Parehas may saltik.

"You have 50 minutes to answer. Begin."

Joshein shot me a concern look pero di ko nalang sya pinansin and started answering my paper.

"Wala na, goodbye future na talaga ako nito, wala naman dito yung nireview ko eh," Joshein mumble under his breath. I side-eyed him and saw that he was struggling with the questions.

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko, I saw that a lot of students are struggling to answer all the questions, tangina enumeration ba naman ok lang sana kong multiple choice eh.

Sa sobrang hirap yung iba kinakausap na yung kisame tas yung iba mas pinili nalang na iappreciate ang nature. I chuckled inwardly what the hell.

The time had past and it is time to pass our paper, kalbaryo talaga pag narinig ko ang tunog nang bell eh.

"Feel ko zero ako," halos maiyak na saad ni Joshein.

I scoff, " And to think you'll help me," natatawang saad ko.

He rolled his eyes, "What if ako nalang yung tinulongan mo?"

"Edi parehas tayong zero nyan," saad ko na syang ikinatango nya.

"Wala nang mga papel?" napabaling ang attention namin sa prof namin. "Ok so, well check your paper dahil may time pa tayo."

Anunsyo nya na kaya napaangal ang mga kaklase ko lalo na si Joshein.

"Sir kay Joshein nalang po yung checkan nyo," agad na napantig ang tenga ng katabi ko dahil sa narinig nya.

"Gaga umayos ka! sir kay Keira nalang bida-bida kasi!" aniya.

Our prof looks like he had enough, he slam his hand on the podium kaya napatigil sila.

"Well check your paper got it?" madiing saad nito, tumango ang lahat.

Habang nag checheck nang test paper hindi ako mapakali at panay ang silip sa cellphone ko.

As soon as I check the last number agad kong pinasa ang papel sa unahan at kinuha ang cellphone ko.

I bit my lips when I saw that he responded.

I won't eat, I'm busy.

Agad akong napanguso, neknek.

Daldalhan nalang kita, dyan nalang din ako kakain.

I sent it and turn my phone off. Timing naman na nag aannounced na si prof nang mga score.

"Terrence, 20/100"

"Holy fuck! what an actual son of a biscuit crackers!" He dramatically utter. " Pero ok lang everything happens for What reason?!!!!!" ang reaksyon nya oo.

"And oh...Mr. Sevilliana," he looked up to me then sa test paper ko. "That was unexpected."

"Bat sir? nakazero ba?"

"No, he got a perfect score." He looked at my test paper, feeling satisfied.

" Impressive, the first person who got a perfect score in my subject." He smiled at me and I just shrugged my shoulders.

Gulat akong nilingon ni Joshein.

"Luh gago? naperfect mo? pano?!!"

Napatingin silang lahat sakin, I raised my eyebrows, lick my lips, a smirk plastering on my face.

"What? like it's hard?" I utter.
