Valle University

Kabanata 06

Kay lintek na umaga naririnig ko na mga bulungan ng mga tao dito sa Hall way. Papupunta pa lang ako sa classroom madami ng tao nagkukwentuhan at hindi lang yun dito meron din doon sa Canteenan, Smith Hall at marami pang iba. Nauna pa si Alex pumunta dito kaysa sa akin, pinaghandaan niya pa ako ng makakain kanina. Nahiya tuloy ako dahil late na ako nagising and thankfully maayos na lagay ni Alex.

Pagkapasok ko nakita ko agad sina Ash and Dash umuupo sa upuan nila habang nagkukwentuhan and I also saw Alex behind them. I sat next to Alex dahil dun naman ako umuupo, nakikiupo lang tong si Alex. The three were talking about something to do with an events, puro si Dash ang nagkukwento at dahil sa kausisaan ko napatanong tuloy ako sa kung ano meron.

"Anong events pinagsasabi niyo?" Tanong ko sa kanila dahil mukhang busing busy sila dito sa lahat.

"Nakalimutam mo na ba" tanong naman sakin ni Dash.

"Ang alin ba yan?"

"Nako grabe ka na babe. Sa darating na lunes anniversary na natin" tapos tsaka na lang humalakhak ang gago.

"Tino mong kausap!"

"Its Valle Day in monday, the 50th anniversary" sagot ni Ash habang nagpapabasa ng libro. Napakurap naman ako.

How could I forget that! Sa lunes pala anniversary. Lolo and Lola was the owner of this university pa naman and not only that pero sa lunes din 55th anniversary nila.

I glance at Alex knowing na alam kong madaming events mangyayari sa lunes at kasali na don ang sports! Last week we talked about that thing at sabi niya willing siya di ko lang alam kung nagbibiro ba siya o ano. Seryoso naman tingin niya! Nako nako alex!

Tinaas ni Alex isa niyang kilay habang ang tingin ay diretsu sa akin. I just smiled awkwardly and iniwasan siya. Sana lang totoo.

Pagkatapos ng tatlong klase namin ay pumunta kami sa library. Alex joined us and I couldn't stop myself from smiling. Matatanong ko din taong to.

Once we were inside the library, Alex went to the right and I followed him.

"Oh eh-ehem!"

"What is it?" tanong niya sabay harap sa akin.

Huminto naman kami and I just had to confirmed it about sa pinag-usapan namin last time. "Yung last time...diba sabi mo-"

"I didn't say a thing." He said and continued walking.

"Huy! Di mo naman ako pinatapos ha"

"Does it matter?" he said as he rolled his eyes at me.

Kapal ng mukha."D03s eat mantl3?" I said mimicking him.

"Whatever."

"Huy! Joke lang ikaw naman ako napaka sensitive"

"I am not."

"Sensitive kaya sus"

This time he faced me again and move closer to my direction. Napakurap na lang ako sa nangyari pagkatapos. He pushed me to the edge of the wall and I knew I couldn't get out of it because he was so strong. Tsaka napapaenglish na talaga ako. He moved his faced and slowly looked into my eyes, nose and later my lip.

"I am Not." He said clearing out the word Not. I saw how he gulp hard. Grabe adam's apple niya and I was still stunned. I didn't know what to do because I couldn't push Alex away.

Natauhan na lang ako nung tumalikod na siya. Yung puso ko parang sasabik na sa digmaan dahil sa kanya. Jusko alex sinasabi ko sayo amoy mint gum hininga mo. Parang nanaginip lang ako kanina.
