BAD BOY's X-list (I love you. I love you. Please Don't Leave ME.) [Short Story]

Chapter Seven: Create Your Definition

[Railey's POV]

"Hi.." nagkasalubong kami ni Leah sa school grounds.

"Railey.." she smiles "Umaano ka dito?"

"Wala prof namin eh uuwi na sana ako, wala na kasi akong klase. Ikaw ba?"

"May klase pa kami.. Isang subject nalang.. English."

"Ahh ganun ba? Pwede maki-seat in? Para sabay na tayo uwi."

"Pwede naman ata.. Pero wag na baka maissue pa tayo.." gusto ko ngang maissue tayo ehh..

"So? Hayaan mo sila.." sumama na ako kay Leah. Pagpasok namin sa room nila nagsipagtinginan sa akin yung mga classmate niya. "Ayieeeeee!" kantyaw nilang lahat. Nagblush si Leah, ako naman napangiti nalang.

Umupo kami sa bandang likod. Then maya maya dumating na yung prof nila na babae. Kilala ako ng prof nila, si mam Teopengco, paanong di niya ako maaalala ako yung kaisa-isang nagpanganga sa kanya sa debate, hahaha. English literature pala ang subject nila. Tapos they're discussing this weird topic. It's about love..

Well I know nothing about it.. "Define love." sabi nung prof nila. Walang sumasagot. Hindi ko ba alam kung nahihiya lang sila o sadyang katulad ko sila na walang alam sa love. Since walang willing magtaas ng kamay eh nagrandom pointing finger session nalang siya. "YouTroy.. Define love." tanong niya doon sa isang lalake. Kabado pang tumayo yung lalake para sagutin yung tanong.. All eyes were on him.. "Love is just a mere adjective that describes one's feeling, masyadong malawak and complex, but the real definition hides within the person, I mean yung taong nakakaramdam lang ang makakapagdefine ng salitang yan. So, ang labo ng sagot ko. may masabi lang."

Napa-wow sabay tawa nalang ang buong klase sa sinabi.. "Nice answer but next time use only english language okay Troy?" Tinuro niya yung isang girl na nasa-likod nung Troy. "How about you dear?"

"I know nothing about love mam Teopengco.."

"You sure?" tanong uli ni ma'am..

"Yes.."

"Okay.. I'll get back to you on that later.." may tinuro naman siyang lalake.. I mean bakla doon sa sulok.. "How about you mister-slash-miss Aquino.." nagtawanan ang buong klase.

Tumayo siya with poise ang neck flipping.. "Love is meaningful.." tipid naman sumagot. hahah.. maya maya.. napatingin nalang sa akin si ma'am. Nginitian ko siya at nginitian niya ako, "Well since you've seated-in in my class.. Why don't you join the discussion Railey?" shet naaalala niya pa pala ako.

Nakatingin sa akin lahat ng mga nilalang sa akin dito sa room. Napalingon ako kay Leah, who is smiling beautifully.

"Love? I know nothing about it.. at first.." tahimik lang nakinig sa akin ang klase nila.. "But lately I've been learning things from it. It's pretty confusing actually, but feeling it inside your heart is very fulfilling. Love makes you feel like you're superman when your girl is in distress. Makes you feel like an ogre when the girl you love is with another guy. And lately I've been learning about care. Because when you love, it's always with it, as well as loyalty, honesty and jealousy. And love.. Love gives you the idea of forever.. The idea of spending your life with her.. Protecting her..Comforting her.. Hugging her when she's upset... Wiping her tears when she cries.. Kissing her, when she feels alone.. And most of all the simplicity of making her happy, and thinking of ways to make her smile and laugh every single day.."

Napatingin nalang ako sa klase.. They're like speechless.. Tapos napatingin ako kay Leah.. My heart beated fast.. Those words didn't came out of my mind just to show off my linguistic skills.. But it came from my heart.. I feel it.. At ayoko ng nararamdaman ko.. Ayokong magmahal..

"Excuse me ma'am.." nagwalkout ako sa klase.. Then I saw the look on Leah's eyes.. She looked confused..
