SEBASTIAN
I sat down on the cafeteria and looked at the circle of students around me. I realized how lonely I felt when I realized my friends are scattered around the world.
Hiro's back in Japan, Mae's on vacation pero she studies in Paris. One friend is on Greece and one is in the middle east.
I rested my chin on my palm.
"Hey Sebastian, May problema ka bro?" Tanong ng isa sa kasama ko sa table.
"Nah, Im fine." I faked a smile. My eyes wandered.
I saw Axe and Allison eating together. Yikes, Someone tell me why I'm not even surprised. I mean he'd always had a soft spot for... Uh... Difficult people. I shook my head.
At least they're friends. Umirap ako and opened my phone. After ilang minuto nang pag-scroll sa posts ng mga kaibigan kong nageenjoy sa ibang bansa, I felt someone play with my hair.
"Please don't." Sabi ko nang hindi umaangat ang tingin. The person didnt stop.
"I said stop that." I looked up and saw Mariel Memfis, Makati's mayor's daughter, almost bare chest in front of me.
I cringed at the sight.
"Your hair is amazing, Sebastian." She said, Licking her lips.
"Yeah, I use conditioner. Try it sometime." Pagsusungit ko at lumayo sa kanya. I pushed my hair back.
Man, I need a haircut. Lumagpas na sa tenga ko ang buhok ko at humahaba narin ang dulo nito.
"Do you have a girlfriend, Sebastian?" Tanong ni Mariel. I glanced at the other students in this table. They weren't paying attention to us.
"No."
"Why? You're pogi, You're cute, You're handsome-"
"I dont want one." Pagputol ko sa sinasabi niya, Ignoring the fact that she was basically repeating herself.
I went on my phone again when I felt it vibrate.
Mae: Hey<33
Napangiti ako. I remembered the unspeakable things we did last night. Hell, That woman proves god is a woman. My eyes widened when I felt my own bulging inside mt pants.
"Fuck..." I whispered and ignored any possible thoughts that can make this situation worst.
what's up? ;)
Mae: Nothing, U free tonight? :)
Yep. You have plans?
Mae: Party at my place. Hello philippines!!!!! :D.
See yah. ;3
Pagpasok ko ng Science subject ko, Iba ang ayos ng mga upuan. I noticed everyone is seated in pairs, Except for Allison on the back of the room.
"I'm sorry I'm late, prof." Bati ko. Ngumiti ang professor.
"It's fine, Mr. Castel. Hindi pa naman nagsstart. No more next time okay? Have a seat next to miss Monteverde." I smiled. Faith really hates her.
"Hi, Seatmate." She frowned when she saw me approaching. This is gonna be fun.
"Oh? No snarky remark? Nagseselos ba boyfriend mo?" She rolled her eyes and groaned.
"He is not my boyfriend and if he was, He will never be jealous of you." I laughed. I wonder why she hates me so much.
"Wala ka bang ibang pwedeng ka-partner? Dun ka sa mga babaeng patay na patay sayo." She said.
"I am with a girl na patay na patay sakin." Her nostrils flared oyt of anger and hindi ko na napigilan ang tawa.
"Cease fire okay? We have a school thing to do. Ano bang gagawin?" I said.
"Ayan, Late kasi." She rolled her eyes. She put something in the container, something in a metal can. She stared at me.
"What?" Tanong ko.
"Wala. Since ikaw yung late, Ikaw mag lagay ng kamay mo dyan." Tinignan ko siya and then the container with bubbles in it.
"Is that safe?" Tinawanan niya naman ako.
"Ipapagawa ba yan ng prof kung hindi?" She has a point. And we ceased fire so maybe I can trust that.
"What's in it?"
"It's just soap and water. Sumunod ka nalang." I looked at her and then at the container.
"Fine." I gave up and dipped my hand in it.
"Alisin mo na." I took it out.
"Great, Now my hand's covered in bubbles." I said, sarcastically. Tumawa ito.
My eyes widened when she pulled out a lighter and lit my hand on fire.
"What the hell, Allison?!" I started to panic and flair my arm everywhere.
"Shit!" I screamed when my hair caught fire. I saw Allison panic as well. Napapikit nalang ako nang itapon niya sa mukha ko ang isang bago ng tubig.
"Are you crazy?!" Sigaw ko. Napatigil naman ito at parang nakonsensya.
"Mr. Castel, What happened?" Tanong ng prof.
"She tried to light me on fire!" Inis na sigaw ko.
"And?" Nagulat ako sa sinagot ng professor.
"Anong and?!"
"That was the experiment." I looked at both of them. I can feel my face heating with anger.
"The experiment was to burn me?!"
"Hindi! Sebastian, Im sorry! Hindi ka naman talaga masasaktan diyan eh. Yung soap lang yung magbuburn and then the water would kill the fire..." Yumuko si Allison. For the first time, I saw her in defeat.
"Exactly. It wasn't going to hurt you." The prof defended.
"She didn't tell me that!" I touched my hair in annoyance. Allison was still looking down. I know damn well that wasn't a mistake. She did that on purpose.
"Miss Monteverde? Bakit naman kasi hindi mo sinabi kay mr. Castel?" I looked around and realized everyone was looking at us, Nagbubulungan pa.
Tinignan ko ulit si Allison.
"Sebast-" Hindi ko na pinatuloy ang sasabihin ni Allison at hinampas ang desk.
"Shut up! You're crazy!" I aggressively brushed my hair with my fingers. Lalo lang akong nagalit nang makitang may maliliit na pieces of hair na nakasama sa mga daliri ko.
"Sebastian, Im sorry..." Bulong niya. I breathed heavily.
"Excuse me." I angrily glanced at the teacher. Aalis na sana ako when I heard Allison mutter something.
"What?"
"I said I'm sorry." Tumaas ang kilay ko.
"Sorry cause I got you." Umangat ang ulo niya to reveal a mischievous smile. At first I looked at her confused and then shock when I realize what she meant.
"Akala ko pa naman matalino ka. I thought you were waiting." Sabi niya, Not loud enough para marinig ng teacher.
"You are so dead." I felt my jaw tighten up.
