CHAPTER 32. Hindrance
KHALI‘S POV
Hindi nga ako hinintay ni Kangaroo sa gate pero hinintay niya naman ako sa labas ng classroom!
Hay nako. Bahala na nga siya diyan sa gusto niyang gawin.
Ewan ko kay Jaemin pero parang kinikilig siya kapag nandiyan si Kangaroo.
Don‘t tell me nagkakagusto na siya kay Kangaroo?
“Lili, he‘s waiting for you again!” she whispered.
“Feeling ko talaga iba na ‘to, Khali eh!” bulong naman ni Kianna.
Hindi ko nalang sila pinansin at pumasok nalang ako sa classroom namin. Napansin ko ang pagsunod ng Hari.
“Khali, dun muna ako sa upuan ko.” sabi ni Kianna bago humiwalay sa akin.
Palagi siyang lumilipat malapit sa akin dahil vacant ‘yung mga katabi kong seat, tapos ngayon bigla siyang mang-iiwan? -__-
I watched the King with a poker face as he throw away the gift boxes from my table like a garbage.
“Will y—” Magsasalita palang sana ako kaso natahimik ako nang may i-abot siya sa akin na paper bag.
“What‘s this?” I asked. I looked inside and saw various boxes of chocolate.
Is this for me? What‘s with him? Being nice all of a sudden...
“What‘s this for? Do you need something from me?” I asked.
Mukhang nainis na naman siya sa sinabi ko dahil tinapunan niya ako ng masamang tingin bago umupo. Humalumbaba siya, tapos tumingin sa bintana.
“It‘s a bribe. I want you to let me stay in your class for today...” mahinahon niyang wika.
What‘s the need for a bribe? This is his darn school, dumbass.
Well... I guess I‘d let him be for the meantime.
“Lipat tayo dun, upuan ni Gabriel ‘yan...” sabi ko.
“My school, my seat.” masungit na sambit niya. Yeah, that‘s the freaking expected attitude from him!
“Edi magtabi kayo ni Gabriel diyan.” sabi ko. Ako nalang ang nag-adjust.
Tapos maya-maya lumipat rin naman siya sa tabi ko. Baliw rin ‘to eh.
Tinignan ko ulit ang laman ng paper bag. Puro imported chocolates. What the—these are all damn expensive ones.
Nilabas ko ‘yung Amedei at agad na binuksan. Lumingon ako kay Kangaroo na ngayon ay nakahalumbaba habang pinapanood pala ako.
I was too excited about the chocolates that I didn‘t notice him looking at me. There was this tiny smile in his lips while eyeing me.
“Are you sure this is mine now?” paniniguro ko.
Baka mamaya kapag nakain ko na pabayaran niya pala.
