"Hannah Christine Romualdez?"
"Present, Sir."
It's my senior year. Nakaupo ako sa second to the last row beside the window, watching the rain. First day na first day pero umuulan.
Ako yung tipo ng babae na hindi masyadong friendly. Oo, nakakasundo ko naman classmates ko, pero I don't talk too much. Madalas gusto ko lang talaga mapag-isa.
I live alone. My dad died when I was five. My mom, she's married to another guy, pero sinusuportahan niya pa rin naman ako. We see each other at least once a month.
"Sir, sorry I'm late." Napatingin ako bigla sa pinto dahil sa lalaking nagsalita. Siguro new student. I pity him. 4th year na pero kinailangan pa niyang magtransfer.
"Oh yes, you're the new student. Your name is..?", Sir Francisco said. I looked at the guy and waited for his reply. He's soaking wet.
"Christian, Sir. Christian Dy." Oh. Half-Chinese siguro.
Hindi na siya masyadong inusisa ni Sir, tutal first day naman and new student pa lang siya. I'm still looking at him, until I've realized na papunta na siya sakin.
"Hi." He's looking straight to my eyes. His eyes are...beautiful. I'm mesmerized. "Can I sit here?"
Tumingin ako sa tabi ko at napansin kong bakante pala. "Uhm, y-y-yes. I d-d-don't mind." Hindi ko alam kung bakit nabubulol ako. First time ding nangyari sakin to. Umupo na siya sa seat nya, pero hindi naalis yung tinginan namin. Naranasan nyo na ba yung parang may..spark?
I was the one to look away first.
I don't know what's happening to me. Love at first sight? No. Hindi naman ako naniniwala dun. At mas lalong hindi naman ako romantic na tao.
Pero parang may kung anong pwersang humatak sakin and I just found myself looking at him again. He's running his fingers through his wet hair while writing our class schedule na isinusulat ni Sir Francisco sa board. Siguro nakita niya sa peripheral vision nya na may nakatingin sa kanya, so he suddenly looked towards my direction. And for the second time, we met each other's gazes.
5 seconds? 10? Ganun yata katagal.
And then..he smiled.
Di ko namalayan. Ang bilis na pala ng tibok ng puso ko.
