17. Attention

"Are you mad at me?"

I felt a little nervous when he is just staring at me in his serious mode. He brought me in their private room inside the campus after dragging me from the booth. I don't know what he was thinking right now. All I know is he is furious from the look on his face.

"Ethan?"

"You didn't tell me about the fucking hug." He said sounding frustrated.

"I..." My lips is shivering. "I-I'm very sorry, Ethan. Please..." He walks towards me and kneel in front of the couch where I was sitting. His hands caress my face.

"Don't." He stopped me from talking. "I'm not mad, Snow White." He said calmly but I can feel his anger towards every words he is saying. "I'm jealous." My eyes widen in his sudden confession. "You know that I hate it when other males went near to you. Much more hugs you? Touch you? Damn!"

"I didn't know that it will anger you like this. I just thought of helping the student council." It saddened me to make him feel this way. "I'm so sorry. Next time-"

"There will be no next time, Winter Ysabella." He said darkly. I felt more nervous when he called me by my name. "You have to promise me." His eyes have a pleading look. "I don't want to ever see you hugging any male species other than me."

"What about my grandfather?" I pouted. "He's a male..." He gave me a warning glare. "And also my bestfriend is a male." I saw his jaw clenching. I think he's being mad again.

"Are you making fun of me, Winter Ysabella?"

"No." I pouted again. "Why are you calling me now on my full name?"

"Promise me first." He insisted.

"But I am asking about my grandfather and bestfriend." I debated.

"Just your grandfather. Not the... bestfriend." He grumbled. "Am I clear?" I just rolled my eyes on him. He deeply sighed. "Snow White?" His voice became soft. "Promise?" He tucked my hair behind my ear and touched my lips. "Please promise me?"

"Fine." So, starting today, I can't hug Clark anymore. I pouted a little. I'll just tell him that my boyfriend is a bit of a jealous person.

"Good girl." He kissed my forehead and hugged me so tight. Sometimes, I can't understand his actions. Even so, I can't seem to be mad at him for a second. Maybe, that's how love works?

"Galit yata saken ang mahal na hari."

I am sitting here in one of the benches in the gymnasium. Ethan told me that his team has another game. It is a competition between year levels. Currently, it's senior versus junior level. By the way, he wanted me to stay and watch him. I gladly agree to him.

"Why would he get mad at you?" I asked back at Anya. I learned that she applied to be a volunteer water girl for the basketball game during Foundation week.

"Kasi nga yung sa free hug!" She grimaced at the mention of that. "Hindi ko naman sinasadya yun. Malay ko bang napakaseloso nung taong yun."

"Don't worry." I smiled at her. "He said he is not mad anymore."

"Kung ang definition na pala ng hindi galit ay katulad ng ginagawa ng boyfriend mo, e ano pa kaya ang ginagawa pag galit na sya talaga." I chuckled at what she said. Though it's a bit long, I understand what she meant to tell.

"He'll get over it." I shrugged.

"Too easy for you to say." She sighed. "Alam mo bang sa ilang taon ko nang naging schoolmate yang si Ethan, pero ngayon ko lang sya narinig na magsalita ng mahaba?"
