"I don't necessarily hate him. Pero, iba ang approach niya sa'kin ngayong araw, I mean friends na kami since the start of school year, but the way he talked to me-- parang may something..."



Ciara's POV

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa mga nagawa ko today. Hindi ko ine-expect na kakausap ako ng isang lalaki, na ako ang nag-first move. Pero, I'm still thankful sa prof namin since 'yung pag-utos niya sa'kin na i-tour si Theo sa campus ay ni-consider ko as "a blessing in disguise." Kasi sa totoo lang, kahit na sinasabi nilang meron akong "outgoing" personality, for some people medyo nahihiya pa rin ako kausapin sila. Especially na ako 'yung unang kakausap. 

Naglakad-lakad kami around the campus... I introduced him to some of the facilities: The gym, the pool area-- where the swimmer athletes train, and as well as the cafeteria. We had fun while walking, and we also got to know each other ng kaunti. He even told me na ang pretty ng name ko! Napalingon tuloy ako sa likod ko para matago ko 'yung pag b-blush ng mukha ko. 

Nagulat din ako kasi siya 'yung unang nagtanong sa'kin if we could be friends. Pumayag ako.

Nalaman ko rin na aspiring writer pala siya. Mahilig ako magbasa ng libro, I feel a strange connection with him. It's like our feelings go both ways. I wanted to ask him if I can read some of his works, but I think masyado pang maaga para itanong ko 'yung mga bagay tulad nun sa kaniya.

Anyhow, I asked him if he's still got to say anything. And he said: "I'm also a Leo..."

"OMG KA!" Sabi ko sa sarili ko. Laking gulat ko na Leo pala 'yung sign niya. Based kasi sa nabasa ko, compatible ang Leo sa mga Aries like me. And what more is that they also say na perfect match ang signs na 'to!

Hindi ko mapakita 'yung gulat ko kasi baka ma-awkward siya so I calmed myself first before saying anything back to him.

"Oh, a joyful and confident peson." ANONG KLASENG RESPOND 'YON CIARA!!%^$%&*

HE LAUGHED AT ME, I pouted.

He explained that he's not a joyful as a person, and that he lacks confidence. Gusto kong ayusin 'yon. As a friend. 

"--I can guarantee you that you'll be happy with me- I mean with us, me and our classmates." NAURRR ano ba 'tong pinagsasabi ko huhuhu. At this point, gusto ko na lang humimlay at magpakain sa lupa T^T

Nag-blush ako because of embarassment, sana hindi niya napansin 'yon. 

We talked about more things, and recess time is over.

We parted ways since need ko dumalaw sa room ng SSG. While heading towards the room, nakasalubong ko si Naomi.

"Sis, saan ka ba galing? nagtanong ako sa classmates natin and they said you went outside with the new guy. Ikaw ha!" She said na may pang-aasar na tono.

"Baliw ka T^T inutusan kasi ako ni Mrs. Lindsay na i-tour ko raw siya sa campus as the class president. Syempre hindi naman ako makatanggi because it's my duty afterall." I replied and hit her back softly then smiled after.

"So, tell me about him." She told me with parang kinikilig na tono.

"Wala lang, we just walked around the campus and we just talked and said a few things to each other," I replied.

"Like what?"

"Na I was an only child sa fam, but he didn't tell me about his family. It's alright tho." Sabi ko sa kaniya.
