More Than Just A Kick

Chapter 5

Hindi pa

Nakatungo ako sa aking desk nang maramdaman kong may maingay na naman. It's him again, as usual. Hindi na niya yata ako lulubayan.

"Good Morning my girl!" Masigla pero nakakairita niyang bati sa akin. Tiningnan ko siya ng masama at inirapan.

"You know what? Even if you're mad, still you are the most beautiful I ever know." Banat niya, pero kahit kailan hindi ako kikiligin sa ganyan niya. Asa siya.

" You know what? I know you always said that line to every girl you encounter. Oh, well. What do I expect to a playboy like you?"
Asik ko sa kanya at nakita kong papasok na si Prof. Kennedy sa room namin galing corridor. Parang hapong hapo si prof nang dumating sa amin.

" Today class we will have a game. I call this game a "Matira Matibay, Maalis Sablay". Get you're partner, girl to boy okay? Not girl to girl nor boy to boy. You can choose now your partner." He explain.

Lahat ng lumalapit sa aking lalaki na nag-aayang maging partner ko ay umaatras. Kasi naman si Stephen sinasamaan nang tingin.

" What are you doing?! Mawawalan ako ng partner." Reklamo ko sa kanya.

" Why not? And besides I am here for you. Tatanggihan mo ba ang isang hot na lalaking katulad ko. Wala ng ibang lalaking gwapo at hot na katulad ko. Ako lang." Pagmamayabang niya na may pagtaas pa ng kanang kilay niya. Hays parang bakla!

" Huh. I will never settle to a guy like you." I sigh and turn my face away from him.

" So here's the rule of the game. I have here an old newspaper. I guess you know about this game, only that I added a twist on it. And a consequence, to those who will win will be exempted on a short quiz, and that is after this game, the losers will then answer my suprise quiz today, don't worry it's just up to 20. The twist that I am saying is you get your partner alright, the girl will hold apple on her left hand on the first level, then on the second level, the boy will hold pineapple on his left, and so on and so on until you had no chance to hold your partner. So let's begin."
Paliwanag ni Prof. Binigyan niya ang mga partners ng old newspaper. Nang kami ang binigyan niya ay nginitian niya kami na parang nang-aasar. Napailing na lamang ako habang si Step ay natatawa at natutuwa sa Tito niya.

Nagsimula nang tumugtog at PPAP talaga ang music na ginamit ni prof.

Simple gestures lang isinayaw ko dahil nahihiya akong sumasayaw samantalang si Stephen parang ewan kung magsayaw, itinataas niya ang kanyang kamay na may hawak ng apple at pineapple. Our proffessor stop the music at pumwesto na kami sa dyaryo.

" You know we can lose these game. I don't want to get close to you." I said to him.

" I don't want to lose this game, and I'm serious with it." He said half smile. " And I'm always serious when I said I like you."

" Seems like my nephew is enjoying this game." Kantyaw ni Prof at nagpatugtog. Hinati ni Step ang dyaryo. Nang pinatay na ni prof ang tugtog ay nag-alinlangan akong umapak. Pero hinila ako ni Stephen kaya napayakap ako sa kanya. Nagtama ang aming mga mata, ang kanyang chestnut brown at almond shape na mga mata ay nakakahumaling tila hindi ko kayang mag-iwas ng mata.

" I thought you don't want us to get close like this but you're hugging me right now." Nakangisi niyang saad.

" I'm just scared that I might get fall."

" Uh-huh!" He said while grinning, nagpatugtog na ulit si Sir at sinayawan na naman ako ni Stephen. Pero sandali lang yon dahil sabik niyang tinupo ang dyaryo. Naku, paliit na ng paliit kaya naman dalawang paa na lang ang kasya tapos may hawak pa kami.
