If I Fall Chapter .5: You're The One That I Want (#3)

You're The One That I Want Chapter XX

Nakakatawa lang ang nangyayari sa St. Lawrence ngayon.

Panong nakakatawa? Sa loob ng almost 2 months, may konting nagbago. After nung incident nina Leiza at Denn sa playground, napansin nina Bee na.. medyo bumait si Denn. At kay Leiza naman? Medyo naging self-conscious. Natuto si Ate maglipgloss! Anong meron?

Kaya naman excited sina Jean at Bee na i-corner tong lokreng nato. Right after class nila kinausap si Leiza.

Bee: *ahem ahem* Ikaw nga, umamin ka samin.

Leiza: What about?

Jean: Medyo.. nagpapaganda ka ata ngayon ah!

Leiza: Ha? Ah yung sa lipgloss ba? Wala yun! Malamig kasi kaya nagbibitak-bitak ang lips ko. Ano ba :))

Jean: Yun lang ba? Wala ba-

Bee: Jean! Diretso tanong na kasi! Dami pang arte! Okay ako na nga. Dahil ba yan kay Denn?

Leiza: ('o') Bakit naman nasama yang ugok na yan sa usapan?

Jean: Curious lang! Bigla kasi syang bumait e, lalo sayo! Isn't that ironic, don't you think?

Leiza: Sinabi ko naman sa inyo yan dati diba? He helped my grandmother. I'm just repaying that act of kindness. Meron pala sya nun.

Jean & Bee: ECHOS KA!!

Leiza: What now?

Bee: *sighs* Do you still like him?

Leiza: W-what? Bakit may still?!?

Jean: Come on, we've been friends since Grade 4! Kilala ka na namin, Lei. Crush mo sya nung summer, right?

Leiza: Eeww lang guys ah. Di ko kinaya yamg pinagsasabi nyo.

Bee: Naku naman! Bahala ka. Dyan talaga nagsisimula yan!

-

Dun nga ba nagsisimula yun, sa pagiging mabait ng isang tao sayo? Kung normal na tao, pwede pa. Pero si Denn Estrella? Really? Not joking!?

Ibang usapan na ata yun kung ganon.

Di na talaga maiwasan ni Leiza tong kabaitan ni Denn. Masyadong.. weird. Katulad na lang nito, Wednesday afternoon. Since Homemakers Club president si Leiza, busy sya sa Fest activities. Bakit ba kasi kailangang icelebrate ang Nutrition Month? Sa college naman wala nito!

Nasa TLE Room sya, nagsusulat ng list of activities nang..

*knock knock*

Leiza: *binuksan yung pinto* Mamay-

There stood Denn in front of her. Biglang nagflashback lahat ng nangyari nung araw na yon. Yung time na tinawagan nya si Denn after nyang malaman yung sa lola nya.

*Flashback*

Denn: Who's this?

Leiza: Si L-

Denn: Tss. Si Ms. Judgemental? How did you know my number?

Leiza: I-i'm the class secretary. Nasakin yung personal info sheet.

Denn: For your own convinience, huh? O bat ka napatawag?

Leiza: Look.. about the things I said earlier..

Denn: What about that?

Leiza: I want to apologize.

Denn: That's.. kinda new. Parang kanina kung anu-ano pinagsasabi mo sakin tapos ng- Fine. Go on.

Leiza: You actually saved my grandma earlier.

Denn: Coincidence. Nice.

Leiza: I'm sorry for lambasting you earlier.. and thank you so much for helping her. I really really owe it to you.

Denn: You owe me what?

Leiza: Don't be so st-.. It's just an expression!

Denn: Wala ba kong reward or something?

Leiza: Tsss. Fine, anong gusto mo? Don't suggest anything stupid.

Denn: Uhhmm. Bahala na. Text na lang kita kung ano. Sige, tulog nako. *cancels the call*

3 days later, 11:48pm, nasa kalagitnaan si Leiza ng pagsosolve ng Physics exer nila, nagtext si Denn.

From: Denn

Alam ko na yung reward ko. Simple lang: mag-ayos ka ng sarili mo. In short: be a girl. It's not actually for me, para sayo rin yan.

And voila, the next week, she began to fix herself.

*end flashback*

Natauhan ulit si Leiza.

Leiza: What's that? *pointing the box*

Denn: *pasok sa room, nilapag yung box* Cook books.

Leiza: That many? For what? Nako, don't tell me Ms. Grace sent this! Alam kong Nutrition Month ngayon but this is just crazy!

Denn: Wala tong konek sa Nutri Month ano ka ba.

Leiza: E para san naman to?

Denn: Di nga? Seryoso ka?

Leiza: About what?

Denn: Sh*t. She forgot to tell you. Panalo lang.

Leiza: Tell me about what?

Denn: There's an.. inter-school cooking battle. She chose us as the reps.

Leiza: (o.o) (o.o) (o.o) You're kidding?

Denn: I am not. Look, di ko rin alam kung bat ako yung pinili ni Ma'am Grace. I can cook, but not as great as my father.

Leiza: You're dad's a..

Denn: Yep. Ric Estrella, or Chef Ric. Ring a bell?

Leiza: This.. can't be.

Denn: The battle's schedule 2 weeks from now. So I guess we should start reading these?

Di pa rin makapaniwala si Leiza sa narinig nya. Okay na e, nakuha na ni Denn yung gusto nya. Pero eto? Imposible. Something's fish-

Oh great. Jean and Bee.

"YES! Denn's getting soft naaaaa! Of all things bakit yun pa ang hiningi nyang reward kay Lei? Hidden agenda!"

"If she hates the guy, bakit sya nagcomply sa request nito? Wala lang. Looks like denial all over again for me. Good job! It's getting more interesting :))"
