NCIT: My Wild Phase

Prologue

•••••

"Hey! Long time no see Val."Johnny greeted and gestured me to the empty seat in front of them.

Bago pa siya may sabihin inunahan ko na. "Please don't tell me you got taller, hinding hindi nako tatayo sa tabi mo." Sambit ko.

Johnny then stood up and the way I got insulted by his height had my rolling my eyes to him.

"I get it, you're tall."

"Not just tall!" He argued with a grin that I quickly responded with a cringe. "Don't get dirty Johnny. Ang aga aga." Suway ko at tumingin sa tumatawang Hapon sa tabi niya.

"San bestfriend mo?" He later asked na nag pataas ng kilay ko. "With her BOYFRIEND." Sagot ko emphasizing the word boyfriend.

Kaya nga nandito ako e, I don't want to be a third wheel. Ayoko ng relationship but whenever I see how Mark is treating my best friend, it makes me wanna fall in love too.

But too bad, hindi lahat ng lalaki kagaya ni Mark so di nalang ako susugal.

"Enough with my best friend Yuta. We're friends but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate you being a dickhead. Nananahimik yung dalawa please lang."

"Masyado kang paranoid. I just asked." He argued. Well, I don't trust the look on his face whenever he talks about Coleen!

"Valentine?" Tawag sakin ni Johnny. "Ano ng score niyo talaga ni Jaehyun?" Tanong pa niya.

"Why am I receiving the same question everyday? Walang magbabago guys and please don't get too comfortable talking about it kasi samin nalang dalawa yon." Napasipol si Johnny sa sagot ko habang tumango tango naman si Yuta.

"Sige, andyan na yung playmate mo sa bahay bahayan."

"Napaka gago mo Johnny." Bahay bahayan? The fuck.

Just as he said, dumating na nga ang hinihintay ko.

My friend.

He sat beside me and sent me a questionable look. "I need your help with this." Diretsong sabi ko at pinakita sa kanya yung iPad ko.

I'm here for a project and that shit needs a lot of lining which I'm utterly bad at doing. Architecture ang course ni Jae, magaling siya mag guhit guhit that's why I know he can help me.

Pag hindi niya ko tinulungan, he won't have his way.

Damn. Ambabaw ng tunog. A project for a damn night? Well, it's been days since we last did that. Naipon nadin ang sama ng loob ko sa school kailangan kona i relieve.

"They are just basic linings." Turan niya habang tinataasan ako ng kilay.

"And you know I don't do basic." Sagot ko na nagpaingay na naman sa dalawang tropa niya. He smirked at me while I glared at him.

Heck. He knows how bad I handle a damn ruler, I barely do a fucking straightline.

Jaehyun looked down on my hands before turning my iPad off. "But you can do wonders with those small hands." Aniya na nagpaakyat lahat ng dugo ko sa mukha.

Tangina neto.

"Yo are we still talking about the project here?" Pilyong tanong ni Yuta na ikinatawa naman nung isa sa tabi.

God! Hindi talaga mainam makipag usap kay Jaehyun kapag nandyan sila.

"What if I don't want to? They're grading you not me." Pangiinis niya pa.

I really can't ask him simply huh? Napaka sassy.

"Edi don't. I'm just gonna ask Johnny." I dared and looked across the table kung saan tuma-tango tango na si Johnny.

"I mean... I'm no architect but I can draw basic lines. Sure I can but what can I have in return? You don't date." Grabe kailangan ba talaga lahat may kapalit? Char. I know he's just joking. Sakyan ko nalang.

"Name it."

"Would you date?"

"Fine. Kelan ba due nito?" Tanong ng nasa tabi ko.

Napangisi kaming tatlo sa kanya. "Sa isang araw na. I tried to procrastinate kasi. Akala ko magagawa ko ng maayos sa last minute but I don't really have the talents so yeah...why? Busy kaba? Okay lang naman. Willing naman daw si Johnny gawin---"

"I said I got it. Consider it done. Anything else you need?" He took my iPad with him and looked at me patiently.

Dahil magkatabi kami, I can feel his left leg being restless under the table.

"Are you free tonight?" I lowly and shyly asked that brought a smile on his lips. "You're getting more needy these days huh?" He whispered and glanced over his friends.

"I have a group study but yeah as you wished, meet me later."

"Okay. I'm going now. I still have a meeting to attend. See you guys around."

"Yeah. Take care."

Damn, I'm really turning into a bitch. :^
