Something That Science Can't Explain

Chapter 2: Feelings To Be Handled

"I should just... go back to my seat." He said.

Nahalata ko na namumula mga pisngi niya.

Shet. Bakit uminit rin pisngi ko?

"By the way, ano nga pala pangalan mo?" I asked shyly. Still not looking at him, I patiently waited for an answer.

Even though alam ko na "Zac" name niya, I pretended I don't know para mas humaba usapan namin.

Because why not, am I right?

"Di ka ba nakikinig sa introduction kanina?" He chuckled.

Oo nga pala.

Honestly, I accidentally slept nung time na yun. Maybe that's probably the reason why di ko agad nalaman bumunggo pala sa akin kanina ay classmate ko pala.

"Zachary Connor Middleton nga pala." He continued

"Drenaline. Drenaline Gweneth McTavish."

He offered his hands to me. I guess he was asking for a handshake as if we just met and nothing happened earlier.

Despite his past actions, my heart throbbed. It skipped a beat. Time became slower. I lost my awareness to my surroundings, as if everything around me vanished.

My consciousness focused on him as if I was sent to a space of nothingness and kaming dalawa lang nandun.

Gusto kong hawakan ung kamay niya... but not just his hands. I want to touch more of him and his...

No.

Lust suddenly wrapped me.

My blood is enraging with excitement. It was lust at first sight. It made me like this.

I wanna hug him, kiss him, and do something else a 14-year-old girl is prohibited to do with a boy.

All this things wrapped me. So before anything can even happen, I...

-Zac's P.O.V.-

She turned her back on me and went straight up to her seat. I was still rooted on the ground after that.

My chest pained, as if it was being squished.

The atmosphere became cold.

What is this feeling? Ano ba tong' nararamdaman ko?

Why am I feeling like this? Ngayon ko lang naman siya nakilala.

I put my hands in my hoodie's pockets.

Bakit hindi siya naghandshake? Is she really that mad? But I already apologized~

I went back to my seat, which is 3 columns to the left and 5 rows to back from Drenaline's seat. Our adviser finally entered the classroom.

Sean and Christjude went back to their respective classrooms. Sinamahan lang naman nila ako eh because, you know, I just came from the clinic.

First day of school and I'm already in trouble, embarrassed myself in front of a girl, and was sent into the clinic.

Some genius you are, Zac.

Honestly, I regretted nothing. In fact, I did those things on purpose (every child's excuse to get away from embarrassment). I was bored, so why not have a little fun?

I regretted nothing except sa part na nabunggo ko ung babae. Geez. That was not expected and embarrassing beyond compare.

Now, I can't stop looking at her. My brain feels like wanting to talk with her more.
