Chapter 5

"You're so funny! You're making me crazy!"saad niya habang nakatawa parin.

"Hey---" natigilan ako sa akmang pagsigaw ng maramdaman kong parang may mga matang nakamasid samin. I looked around and realized that everyone's attention was directed at us, some are amused and some are annoyed.

Lalong namula ang pisngi ko. Nakakahiya!

Mamaya ka sakin Lavi!

LAVI's

Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti nang marinig ko ang muntikang pagsigaw ni Andrea dahil sa inis sakin. Her reaction is just so priceless hindi ako magsasawang asarin siya kung ganyan lang din naman palagi ang makukuha ko in return, worth it! I can't keep myself from smiling everytime her face crosses my mind.

Pagkapasok namin sa classroom, I noticed our classmates staring at me, at sa babaeng may black aura na nakasunod sa likod ko. Mukhang napansin niya rin ang mga mata ng mga nakikiusyoso naming mga kaklase kaya she gave them dagger looks, which turned out to be very effective dahil agad namang nagsi-iwas tingin ang mga ito. I smirked at the thought that our classmates are afraid of her. She just doesn't fail to amuse me with her actions.

"Problema niyo?!" sigaw niya na nag-echo sa buong classroom.

"Woah! Kaaga-aga HB ka agad?" sabi ni Gwen na kapapasok lang.

She just recently transferred from building G, I was actually amazed on how the system of this school works.

"Gwen, wag ka nang dumagdag! Please lang!" reklamo ni Andrea. At nauna nang naglakad papunta sa kanyang upuan. Lumapit naman sakin si Gwen.

"Hoy Lavi! Anong ginawa mo dyan?" sabay turo kay Andrea na pinapatay ako sa tingin. Ngumiti ako sa kanya at kumaway. Nag hiyawan naman ang mga classmates namin sa pamumuno ni Gwen.

"'LQ! LQ! LQ!" Andrea just rolled her eyes na ikinatawa ko.

"Wala." sagot ko sa tanong ni Gwen.

Lumapit ako kay Andrea at tumabi sa kanya. Pinatong ko ang siko ko sa table atsaka siya hinarap ng nakapangalumbaba.

"Babe, sorry na. Bati na tayo please?" paglalambing ko sa kanya.

She just glanced at me before fixating her eyes ahead, her lips slightly pointing.

Damn! Why does she looks so cute?

"Hey, come'n sorry na po." malambing kong saad sabay pilit na pinapaharap ang mukha niya sakin.

"Hindi mo na uulitin?" parang bata niyang tanong sakin na ikinatawa kong muli.

"Opo, hindi na po." I said after receiving another set of threatening glares from her.

"Ehem!" someone fake a cough that pulled us from our own imaginary world. Hinanap ng mga mata ko kung sino ang nag-lakas loob na sirain ang moment namin ni Andrea. Only to see a fuming mad man staring intently at us or should I say at Andrea.

"Wh--" hindi na natuloy ang sasabihin nang ugok nang biglang dumating ang teacher namin.

"Good morning class! Please take your seats." Everyone scrambled back to their seats as Mrs. Harrisson enters the room.

Inaantay kong matapos mag-ayos ng gamit si Andrea ng mapansin kong palapit yung ex niya sa kanya. I pretended like I was busy with my phone but I was actually watching his every move.

"Andrea, can we talk for a while?" tanong niya kay Andrea. Tumingin muna sakin si Andrea.

"Babe?"Andrea called out.

"Hmm?" I pretended to be so immersed with my phone.

"Usap lang kami saglit ni Cedric ha? Wait for me?" Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya bago sandaling nilipat sa lalaki sa tabi niya.

"Okay, sa gate lang ako." She walked towards me first then playfully pinched my cheeks before finally walking out the door with Cedric.

"Hoy Rodriguez!" tawag ko sa kanya. Napatingin din naman si Andrea sakin with a puzzled look. I smirk.

"Ingatan mo girlfriend ko ha? May date pa kami niyan." I said and nilampasan ko na siya at mabilis na hinalikan si Andrea sa noo, na naging sanhi ng pag-pikit niya.

Natatawa akong naglalakad sa may corridor habang iniimagine ang mukha ni Cedric na nagpupuyos sa galit, nang may biglang nag salita.

"What are you up to?" Umikot ako upang harapin siya.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's quite obvious that you two are up to something." she said with her arms crossed against her chest.

"You think so?" nakangisi kong tanong.

She gave me a shrugged and continued to stare on my face.

"Whatever it is, I'll keep silent for a while. I'll be watching you. May hinihintay akong makita Lavi. If I fail to see what I am looking for, pasensyahan tayo but your game will be over. Ayokong sa huli si Andrea parin ang masasaktan, I want her to be happy. She deserves to be happy." after saying her piece she turned her back on me and started to walk away.

"Ano bang gusto mong makita?" kunot noo kong tanong na nagpahinto sa kanya sa paghakbang. She turned around to face me again.

"What do you think?" she asked, smirking.

"I'm asking to know." Nakapamulsa kong saad habang inoobserbahan ang reaksiyon niya.

"Love. I want to see love between you and Andrea." she said and smiled before leaving me with almost bulging eyes.

"Love?" pabulong kong ulit sa sarili.

Binalik ko ang atensyon sa palayong pigura ni Gwen.

"What do you know?" curious kong tanong kahit na alam kong hindi niya rin naman narinig.
