"Kung ako sayo, habang maaga pa, itigil mo na yan." Seryosong suhestyon nito. "Paano kung hindi ka nga mabuking, pero na-in-love naman sayo yung tao. Gaya nga ng sabi mo, lately parang nagpapahiwatig na siya. Oh, anong gagawin mo?" "Hindi ko alam, '...

CHAPTER 6

Start from the beginning

"But ma'am," Jayle raised his hand. "Odd number po bilang namin. May isang walang partner."

"Jayle, we can be partners." suggestion ni Rejoyce, the basketball team muse.

"No. Jayle will be my partner." sabat naman ni Paulina, ang class president nila.

"Ma'am, pinag-aagawan na si Jayle!" reklamong-biro ng mga kaklase niyang lalake.

"Oo nga, mukhang kami ang mawawalan ng partner nito." sabi naman ng iba pang boys.

"Shush!" saway ng teacher nila. "Well, that can't be help. Then I will allow one group of three, instead."

"I can do it alone, ma'am." maagap na deklara niya.

Kung ganoon ang magiging set up, mas pipiliin niyang mag-isa. Also, he already has the perfect partner in mind.

"Good. Then that settles it. Goodbye, class."

Lihim siyang napangiti.

"SO that's basically why I ended up without a partner." kwento ni Jayle dito.

"Pwede ba yun? Di ba kapag ganoon, hahayaan nalang ng teacher na may isang group na tatlo yung members?" medyo sceptical parin yata ito.

Paanong hinde, e hindi niya sinabi ang buong katotohanan.

"I don't have a choice. That's ma'am Llanes' decision. She will fail me if I will not find a partner." nag-sad face siya para mas convincing.

"Hmm.."

"Lou! Andito na si Ma'am." imporma ni Panot.

"Text mo nalang sakin kung kelan at saan kuya. Got to go!"

Tumangu-tango siya habang pilit na tinatago ang ngiti. "Okay! Thanks! See you!"

Nang tuluyan nang mawala sa paningin niya to ay saka niya pinakawalan ang malapad na ngiti. Another success story for you, Jayle.

When he turned a hundred and eighty degrees, he found his gloomy brother standing there emotionless.

"Kanina ka pa jan?" tanong niya. And for some reasons, pakiramdam niya ay parang nahuli siyang gumagawa ng isang bagay na hindi naman dapat.

Hindi kumibo ito.

"Pasok ka na, anjan na daw teacher niyo." saka tinapik niya ito sa balikat at nilagpasan.

"Stop this."

Napatigil sa paglalakad si Jayle. Right there and then, without further explanation, he felt like he understood the situation.

"DO you smell something fishy between Louella and Venger's kuya?" boses ni Charrie.

"Hala ikaw din? May napapansin din ako." sang-ayon naman ng boses ni Rizza.

"Sila kaya? But how? When did they get so close?" tanong ng boses ni Lenny.

"You think may alam si Venger about this?" boses ulit ni Charrie.

"I think wala naman siguro. Hindi naman sila ganoon ka-close ni kuya Jayle." sagot ng boses ni Celyn.

"Huy, ikaw Celyn ha. Napapansin namin lately na parang close narin kayo ni Venger." boses ulit ni Rizza.
