--
I told Ian earlier that he should just take me to dinner instead of lunch. Wow ah, demanding much? But luckily, he was supposed to tell me the same thing and he told me that he'll pick me up at seven and "Maple, wear something nice."... weird. I wonder where he's taking me.
"Oh my gosh, this is all my fault!" in case you're wondering I've been running all over the campus looking for Syuichi for.... wait. Let me check my watch, For 10 minutes already!!!
But ugh! I've been cranky all day... How can I be so irresponsible and neglect Ms. Dee's special assignment?! Eto ba ang epekto ng indirect rejection??!
"Masyado kasing preoccupied ang brain mo." Somebody said behind me in a raspy, deep, ho- I MEAN HUSKY VOICE. Suddenly, may pumindot ng tagiliran ko which made me jump in shock and at the same time, blurt out sorta loud... "AY BAKLA!"
I turned around and saw Syuichi with an 'I'm-trying-not-to-laugh' expression which I found to be cute.
"What? Sinong bakla? AKO?" He said as he pointed to himself.
"Ang dami mong tanong! Eh tayong dalawa lang naman nandito, malamang ikaw!"
"Aba, minamaliit mo ata ang pagka-lalaki ko." He stopped and took one step closer to me. I could smell his minty but manly breathe as I felt my face turn red.
"Do you want me to prove my masculinity?" there was something with the way he said it. His voice was deeper, inviting, more magnetic and h-- FINE! Hot. There! I said it.
"Ikaw naman! Syuichi friendship ever, hindi ka na mabiro! TARA NA NGA!" Hinampas ko yung braso niya, hindi naman mabigat yung kamay ko.I said that while stuttering a bit. I walked as fast as I could! I knew he was following because I could hear his footsteps and I could see his shadow.
Ang daming nagkalat na students ng RA, dismissal time na kasi eh. Grabe, whenever we'd walk pass some girls sisigaw o titili! Sobrang nakakarindi, heck.
I stopped walking and faced him. "Can you stop being attractive for a while? It's damaging my health."
"You think I'm attractive?" he looked at me intently.
"Nope." I said popping the P. "but those girls do." I told him and pointed to the girls on my left. Hmmm, green tie. Must be first years.
"Students' grade levels can be distinguished by their neckties. Green for the Freshman, yellow for the Sophomores, blue for Juniors and red for the Seniors."
Seconds later I heard him sigh.
"Ayaw pa umamin.."
"May sinasabi ka?" I raised an eyebrow.
.....
After taking him along the buildings used for classes, I decided to stop by the canteen to buy us some refreshments.
"One apple juice and...." I looked back at him and muttered something I forgot right after I said it. Binigay na sa akin nung andun sa canteen yung binigay ko and I left.
"Oh." sabay abot nung juice.
"Wow.. thank you. Buti na lang hindi ka nag order ng carbonated drink at yung four seasons pa talaga yung flavor." he smiled to himself and took a sip from his drink.
