STEP 6: TROUBLE

ADELINE'S POV

So... Dapat na'ba akong umawat? O should I exit with this scene? Oh c'mon! Serioulsy? Do they have to talk like they knew each other? Whatever Adeline, just go and problem your own problem. Tss! Guys are just being guys...

I turned my back on them pero ng maglalakad na sana ako palayo sa kanila, someone's hand touch my left shoulder. Well, of course I stopped but did not turn my head at nanatili lang akong nakatingin sa direksyon ko. I draw a breath...

I knew who touched my shoulder and it's my mighty as ever Trace.

"See you around."

I heard that guy said at nakita ko na lang naglakad na siya palagpas sa'kin.

Seeing his back, 'na-i-imagine' ko siyang nakangisi, a guy who wants to piss me off everytime na makikita ko siya. Later on, naglakad na paharap sa'kin si Trace, tumingin naman ako sa kanya.

"What?" Tanong ko sa kanya ng nakatingin lang siya sa'kin, seriously as ever.

Inalis niya yung pagkahawak niya sa balikat ko and said "Wag kang lumapit sa isang yun, maliwanag?"

Napakunot na lang ako, and when I about to say something, hindi na natuloy.

Naglakad na kasi palagpas sa'kin si Trace. What's the matter with this guy, uh?

And what's with them? Well, hindi rin naman ako lalapit sa isang yun kahit 'di niya pa 'ko sabihan. Can I hear my clap clap for that?

Minutes later, nakarating na 'ko sa tapat ng room ko.

I faced Trace, waiting for his last says before he leaves me here in this nosy classmates. Kanina ko pa kasi nakikita ang mga estudyante na nagtitinginan at nagbubulungan pagpasok ko pa lang ng building ng Communication Building. As if na patay akong nabuhay lang, right? Whatever.

"Anything Trace? Do you want to go with me inside?" Biro ko.

"Pwede ba?" Tanong niya.

"Ha-ha, Trace. Very Funny." I stopped and I lifted my right hand as if pinapaalis ko na siya sa kinakatayuan niya.

"Go Trace, I have a lot of things to do and I don't need my big bro to be there and guard my every move, okay?"

He said something under his breath pero hindi o naintindihan. "Sayin' something?" Tanong ko.

"Wala. Sige na, after mo dito san ang punta mo?"

"Hmm..." My lips pouted as if I'm thinking a deep thought. Tumingin ako sa kanya after and said "I'm going to my office—I mean, our office sa SULAT. And after that, I think I have to attend your training sa swimming team. Need to talk with manager for the RD ads." I explained.

"RD Ads?"

"Yup, I found out that RD was looking for team players, di'ba? I'll help looking for them." Sabi ko.

He shook his head. "Okay. Sige. Sasabihan ko yung iba na pupunta ka, text ko si manager na makikipagkita ka sa kanya."

"No need, I'll call her later after the class. I think, you better move now vice or you'll be late for your class." I smiled. Pero hindi pa rin nagbabago yung reaksyon ng mukha niya,

Serious pa din 'til now. Ano bang problema niya?

I can't ask, nahihiya ako. Baka ako ang problema niya and then I'll ask pa kung ano.
