Dare me Not

Chapter 4

“Thank you. Yun lang ba talaga? Are you asking me to join your group?” sabi niya habang nakatingin parin sa book na binabasa niya, mukha atang caculus yung pinag-aaralan niya. Pero yung tono at expression niya habang nagsasalita, there’s something in there. Pride and arrogance na hindi ko naman makita sa itsura niya. Hindi bagay sa kanya yung ganoong attitude, is this girl fooling me?

“No, not at all. Sure naman akong nasabihan ka na ni Kishi sa mga pinag-gagagawa namin. I’m impressed nga eh, you’re not intimidated by me.” Sabi ko sa kanya. I’m still keeping my chill, sooner or later mag break down din to.

“Ow,” sagot niya. Sabi ko na eh, nag soft na yung expression niya at tumingin siya sa akin. “dapat pala na-intimated mo ko? Sorry but hindi eh. And isa pa, why woud I be intimidated by you?” sabay sabi niya sa harap ko with all the sarcasm.

 

To be honest, I became speechless. Kahit iniisip kong baka nagmamatigas lang siya, hindi eh. Parang nature niya talaga tong attitude na ito. I admit, she win this time.

“Masyado kang sarcastic ah. Don’t worry nandito lang naman ako para makipagkilala, pero mukha namang kilala mo na siguro ako.” Sabay ngiti sa kanya.

“Oo naman. Ikaw yung top one dito na napaka yabang at gwapo…..sabi nila. Well, siguro ako nalang magpapakilala. Maycee Castillo nga pala, transferee dito. Yes, maybe you can call me a geek or nerd. I love math and I hate history. I like reading. Ano pa gusto mo malaman?” suddenly parang naging malumanay siya magsalita, parang naging sweet boses niya at yung ngiti niya sakin.

This girl……confuses me.

 

“Wow, pareho pala tayo. I like math too. Kaya siguro nasagot mo kahapon gn mabilis yung math problem. And you hate history, interesting.” Nasabi ko nalang sa kanya.

Our conversation went on and on at honestly marami nadin kaming napag-usapan. Basic information pero syempre ako limited lang binigay ko sa kanya. Magkausap lang kami doon sa library and it seems na I’m enjoying myself talking to her.

I like the way she confuses me.

Suddenly she’s all bitchy then she’ll go sweet. I haven’t met a girl like that before. Hindi ko na alam kung ilang oras na kami magkausap pero nalaman ko lang nung tumung na yung bell for morning assembly.

“Una na ko sayo ah, baka hinahanap na ako ni Kishi eh.” Sabi niya sakin habang nag-aayos ng gamit. She’s all normal and sweet again.

“Maybe next time we’ll be able to talk again?” I said to he rarrogantly.

“Sure, kahit saan. Ikaw nalang mag-approach baka kase lumaki ulo mo pag ako nag-approach sayo eh. Bye Ian.” Sagot niya sakin with a super sweet (not in a flirty way) voice sabay nag smile siya sakin na all natural beautiful kind of smile. Pagtapos nun lumabas na siya ng library.

Kakaiba siya, yun lang ang masasabi ko. I can’t really lie saying that I’m not liking her kasi I already like her pero something is up with that girl.
