Chloe’s POV

“Ma’am Chloe! Ang tagal ng bakante ni Sir Rye, pero wala ka pa ring ginagawa?”

                Nag-iisip ako. Tama nga si Brigit for saying this. Actually, it’s been months. Mamaya na ang acquaintance party pero I am not yet asking him for a date. Sobrang busy niya kasi dahil sila ang organizer nila Pam. I’m just assisting him. Palagi naman akong nasa tabi niya. Palagi ko naman siyang sinasamahan kapag nalulungkot siya about Rebecca.

                “Brigit. You don’t get it. I… I am always by his side. Alam ko, someday he’ll fall for me.” Ito naman ang sagot ko. Hindi ako sure sa last sentence na nabitawan ko.

                “Chloe isn’t the girl who hopes, she’s the girl who acts,” Brigit told me.

                This statement alarmed me. Right. She is perfectly right.

                “Chloe… This is your time to act. Acquintance party! Teachers are allowed to dance, to enjoy, and to part,” she added. She talks to me like this because she’s my student. Second year student.

                “Brigit. Nagmana ka talaga sa akin. And I admire you for that. Don’t worry. I’ll probably do everything just to make him fall for me even more. He’s gonna forget Rebecca if he’ll know that I am by his side. Ever since the school has started, alam niyang nasa tabi lang ako palagi.”

                Tinapos ko na ang pag-aayos ko ng make-up ko sa girls’ powder room ng aming gym. Dito kasi ginanap ang acquaintance party ng college namin. This venue is definitely wide enough para sa students ng college namin.

                “I have to go,” and I waved goodbye to Brigit. Luckily, kaming dalawa lang ni Brigit sa powder room. One last final touch pa pala, inayos ko rin ang malaking hikaw ko for this evening. I believe, I can do this.

The venue is set. Nakaayos na ang tables and chairs. Each of them is covered with pink and white cloths. Kaunti lang ang lights. Nasa gitna lang ng venue ang focus nito. Marami ring makintab na umiilaw sa paligid which makes this party look better. And I started looking for my date.

                “Have you seen Sir Railey?” tanong ko sa isang student na organizer rin naman ng event—si Pam. Nakasuot siya ng isang blue long gown na plain ang design. Well. I still find my dress better than her. I mean, the best.

                “Yes Ma’am. Nandoon po siya sa harapan. He’s the event head po, right? That’s why he’s her.”

                I immediately looked for Railey. Yeah. Before I leave the powder room, tinignan ko muna ang damit ko. It’s perfect. The black tube with matching glitters complements me and my style. Tinernuhan ko pa ng high heels? Everybody believes that my outfit is the best among the rest.

                Naglakad ako papunta sa harapan, sa baba na malapit sa stage kung saan isang malaking caption ang nakasulat na: Acquiantance Party for a Cause (which sort of ironic dahil matatapos na ang taon pero ganito pa rin ang naisip nilang activity). Anyway, this one is for a cause, so just go with the flow ang drama ko.

                Then, I found Railey.

                Maraming tao sa paligid pero sa kanya lang napako ang mga mata ko. Simpleng amerikana lang ang suot niya with matching black longsleeves and striped na neck tie. Simple ang dating niya, pero that simplicity has caught my attention. Idagdag pa ang buhok niyang magulo tignan. Isama mo pa ang labi niya na ang sarap halikan, walang babae ang hindi siya titignan.

                Si Railey ang taong una mong mapapansin dahil sa kanyang dating. Siya lang ‘yung taong guguhit ng linya sa puso kong tila yelo na ata. He’s all I need. Siya lang. Kaya I’ll definitely do everything just to make him mine. I know he’s the only man who will make this heart skip a beat.

                “R-Railey…” I whispered to myself as I come near him.

                “Hi Ma’am Chloe,” nginitian niya ako. Tinalo pa ng ngiti niya ang mga perlas na nakita ko. ‘Yung ngiti niyang mapapasalita ka na lang ng Sht-tao-ba-talaga-to? Araw-araw ko siyang nakikita, pero sa kabila noon, ngayon ko lang mas lalong naa-appreciate ang presence niya.

                Hindi ako ang taong kinakabahan, pero ngayon, bumibilis ang tibok ng puso ko.

                Ang irregular na tibok ng puso kong ito ang nagsasabing siya na nga.

                “Can you be my date?” lakas loob na tanong ko.
