Adult Teenager's Matters (YOUNG ADULT SERIES #1)

Chapter 20

I sarcastically laugh. "Katawa ka naman, Yahwi. Huwag ka na kaya magsalita?"

"Hindi pa nga ako tapos, e!"

"Ay, hindi pa ba? Sorry ah, mukha mo palang kasi nakakatawa na."

He dramatically held his chest. "Ouch, you hurt me, Maiana," he said.

"Saan masakit? Kiss ko."

Umayos siya ng tayo ay tinuro ang pisnge niya. I laugh and slightly slap his cheek. Tumawa ako nung gulat niya akong tinignan.

"Ano 'yon?"

"Hangin siguro," I rolled my eyes.

He groaned when I walked faster than him pero agad din siyang humabol at nagchange topic. Tommorow was the last day of our group study at ka sunod nun ay final exam na. Gosh, I can't. Pagkatapos nito ga-graduate na ako ng SH. Iiyak talaga ako sa graduation pero hindi pa sure kasi kahiya 'yon pero who knows if iiyak talaga ako dun.

"Same date rin ba 'yong graduation niyo?" Tanong ko kay Yahwi nung natahimik na naman kami.

He nodded. "Yeah, why?"

"Nothing, just curious," I replied.

"Are you expecting me there, noh? Kaya tinatanong mo ako, noh?"

"Duh? Why would I? We're not even friends."

He laugh. "Okay, sabi mo, e."

I was tapping my pen on the table silently while reviewing some stuff. There's stuff that I can't understand but good thing I did some take notes during the class kaya mas madali sa 'kin maalala 'yong mga hindi madali sa 'kin. It's a big help for me.

I was about to scribble something on my notes when my eyes accidentally met Yahwi's. He immediately look away and I just weirdly look away also.

Tuloy lang ako sa pag-aaral pero ramdam ko pa rin ang pagsulyap niya sa 'kin ni Yahwi. I had enough kaya naman tinignan ko siya ng masama.

"What?" He innocently asked.

"I can feel your eyes, Yahwi," I said. Napatingin ako sa notes niya. "What are you doing anyway? Are you even studying?"

"So what if I am not?"

Tinignan ko siya ng masama. "Then, sana hindi ka nalang nag invite na mag group study tayong dalawa," sagot ko at walang pasabing kinuha 'yong notes niya.

That's what I thought but my lips slightly parted when I realized it was a sketch pad, not a notes. And the portrait was no other than me. My messy bun and the way I tap my pen on the table was totally sketched so fine.

He snatch back the sketch pad on my hand.

"Break time ko. I got bored so I decided to sketch something," he reasoned out and put the sketch book on his bag.

I put both of my elbow on the table and leaned closer to him. "You sketched it fine, Mr. Genius."

He look at me back.

"And you're good view to sketch, princess."

I bit my lower lip and leaned back. Giving up on how he said those words. Ako 'yong na nga yung nag compliment, ako pa 'yong kinilig. So unfair! This guy is really something and it annoyed me a lot! Gosh, 'yong puso ko. Baka ma heart attack ako dito wala sa oras.

"Are you hungry?" He changed the topic when suddenly I cut my tongue. I just nodded. "I'll be back," he said and he stood up to go to the cashier. my head fell on the table and silently groaned. This guy really is not healthy for me! Ayaw ko na, umaasa na ako. Fleece, stahp ka na if joke joke mo lang ang mga 'to.

"Pinapabigay ni angkol Yahwi."

Napatingin ako kay Raign nung may inabot siya sa 'kin na paperbag.

"Ano 'to?" I asked her.

"Bulag ka nga," she sighed. "Paper bag malamang. Aalis na ako, magsisimula na daw 'yong exam namin, goodluck sa 'yo."

I nodded at her and she walks towards the STEM building. I can't believe that since elementary mag-classmate kaming tatlo nila Gwin at dito lang talaga kami nagwatak-watak kasi ibang ibang strand 'yong kinuha namin.

Bumalik ako sa classroom at binuksan 'yong paperbag. It has vitamins juice some other snacks. Tumawa nalang ako ng mahina at kinuha yung sticky notes na nakadikit sa vitamins juice.

'I believe in you :)
