geez... seriously? Every single time?!

Chapter 2: Put your shirt back on!!!

English muna!

I was still a kid then so I told a lot of people I liked Xavier. It spread throughout the whole school. When I was in grade 4, a high school student, I think her name was Carrie, told me that she knew Xavier's older brother. She said she could get his number for me if I wanted it. I was excited but I declined because I don't think it's nice that I have someone's number without actually asking. Everytime I hung out at the balcony at school, the high school students always made an X sign with their arms and yelled out, "Xavier! Xavier! Xavier!"

It was alright at first but I started to get irritated, so they stopped.

After a few weeks, I thought that I shouldn't really hope that I would get together with him. I was still young anyway and we lived far apart. 

I get out earlier for lunch than my brother, Phil. We get our lunch from Biggs. They deliver to us. When it comes, I get the food and go to my brother's classroom. I always left it right near the door of their classroom. When I was about to go back to eat my lunch I heard a loud laugh coming from the classroom next door. I went over to check what was going on and...

There was a nice looking guy... SHIRTLESS... wow...

I froze... I didn't know what to do. He was sweating a lot... He was with some other guys who just took off their polo but still had their sando on. The shirtless guy saw me then  came closer... I got scared but still couldn't move. He was then just 2 centimeters away from me.

Shirtless guy: hey. 

He leaned by the door.

Me: he...hell...

Shirtless guy: ano?

I freaked. I finally felt my legs and I ran back to my classroom. I looked back and just saw him looking at me. So weird! Weird experience! Very weird! (Well, for me.)

Ever since that day, "SHIRTLESS" dude kept coming over to my classroom. It sucks that our break is at the same time. He just sits by the door and stares at me. It happened for a whole month! I finally gathered the courage to approach him.

Me: um... pwedeng wag ka na po diyan?

shirtless guy: bakit naman?

Me: nakakaisturbo ka.

Shirtless guy: bakit naman?

Me: okay. Sorry po nakita kitang walang t-shirt. Hindi na ako lalapit sa classroom mo!

Shirtless guy: !!!

Me: ano? aalis ka na?

Shirtless guy: cute ka pala.

Me: (starts blushing)

Shirtless guy: haha! XD

Me: >:"(

Suddenly, his friends came to drag him back to his classroom. I turned to go back in mine and then I heard him scream out,

"Dan pala ang pangalan ko!"

Tanga siya. Tanga! Kailangan pang isigaw? Hah?!?!

Balik tagalog...

So, yun na. Alam ko na pangalan niya. So what?

Hindi na siya pumunta sa classroom ko. Pero nakita ko naman siya pagpunta ko sa canteen kapag snack time na. Hindi naman kami nagpapansinan. (and here I thought he was actually interested... :( )

Paglipas nanaman ng ilang araw, nagkaroon kaming science week. Gawa gawa na kami ng ibang proyekto. Gumagawa na rin kami ng ibang kanta. Kapag break, sumisilip kami sa iba't ibang classroom para makita kung ano ang hinahanda nila. Ang daming kakanta sa mga klase. Isa lang nga ang sasayaw noon. Ang klase ni "Dan" a.k.a. SHIRTLESS GUY. Nanood kami at maganda naman sayaw nila. Pinakamagaling nga si Dan. Napansin lang. Napansin.

Me: galing niya pala sumayaw.

Carla: kanina mo pa ata tinititigan.

Me: hindi. napansin ko lang.

Carla: obvious na obvious na gusto mo siya Lei eh.

Me: bahala ka na nga.

Si Carla pala ang bago kong best friend. :)

Nagsilip ulit kami sa ibang classroom. Lock yung pinto kaya sumilip kami sa bintana. Kaunti lang space kaya ako ang pinasilip nila. (Tingnan mo. Palagi nalang ako sumisilip.) Pagtingin ko saloob, may lalaki. ANG GWAPO!!! Bakit ngayon lang kita nakita?!?! Sa sobrang excite ko naman, nauntog ako sa bintana. Narinig nung lalaki at nakita ako. Bilisan na akong lumayo sa bintana. 

Carla: Lei! Nagblublush ka! Sinong nakita mo?

Me: wala. wala. alis na tayo.

hehe... gwapo.... (ano ba yan? para gwapo nagkakagusto na ako! ano ba ang laman ng isip ko nung bata pa ako. STUPID!!!)

Sa ibang araw, Nakita ko yung gwapo, pinapanood yung ginagawa ng mga sumasayaw kasama ng mga kaibigan niya.

Okay. Araw na ng mga performances. Lahat kami pumunta doon malapit sa playground namin. Pinauna ung mga kakanta at huli na yung mga sasayaw. Kumanta kami...(by the way, I suck)... Kaunti lang nagpalakpakan. (my fault). Tapos sumunod yung gwapo, may gitara. Talented din ah... hehe... magaling siya 'no.

Paglipas ng ilang minuto, sunod na ang sasayaw. Nagposition na sila at nagsimula ang tugtog. 

Ang tugtog na sinayawan nila ay nasa right. Video po. (The song they danced to is at the right. It's a video)

Napahiya silang lahat. Nakalimutan nila ang mga dance steps. Ang ganda ganda pati nung steps. Sinira lang nila. Nakakainis ka naman  Dan. Dapat ikaw pati ang nakakaalala ng mga steps eh. Tsk Tsk Tsk...

Pero noong hindi sila gumagalaw, si gwapo, sumasayaw salikod nila. Kinuha na siya ng isang teacher at siya na ang pinasayaw. Nahiya siya noong una (cute!!!) pero sumayaw parin in the end. At dahan dahan, nakasabay sina Dan. (sana napahiya ka. hehe... >:) )

na admire ko ung performance niya at nagustuhan ko na eh... :")

(i like guys who can dance)

Bye na Dan! Hello gwapo!

(naging friends naman kami eh... kayo naman! baka magjudge kayo hah... :) )
