Something That Science Can't Explain

Chapter 4: D-d-date?!

"Kaw nga mas bobo diyan eh. Six plus six, thirty-six?" Inis na sinabi ko sa kanya.

Naalala namin dati nung magclassmates pa kaming tatlo. Tinanong siya ng teacher namin what is six plus six.

Sagot niya thirty-six.

Dahil dun, lahat kami nagtawanan.

Ah, memories.

"Hoy! Dati pa yun." Nainis na rin siya. "Didn't I tell you guys akala ko kasi ano ung square ng six."

Reasons.

"At least nangyari." I smug at him.

The three of us laughed and finally said our goodbyes before heading back to their classrooms.

Sa classroom ko kami nag-usap.

"Sige. Mamaya ulit. We'll help you kung ano man problema mo. Basta hindi yan Math problem ah." Sabi ni Sean bago siya bumalik sa classroom niya.

Tumawa na lang ako sa sinabi niya.

I headed back to my seat and waited for the fifth period to start.

Once again, I locked my sight to Dren.

Damn. She's so cute kahit nakatalikod lang.

Feeling ko gusto ko haplusin ung buhok niya. Sa tingin pa lang, feeling mo ang smooth. Tapos, ang haba pa.

I have the urge to touch them, to run my fingers on it.

-Dren's P.O.V.-
Now that Zac asked me out, I can't focus sa lesson. All I can ever think of is ano mangyayari while we're at a date.

Will he finally confess? No, Dren! We're going on a date as friends... as he stated.

Kala ko pa naman magkoconfess siya sa akin. Hmph!

OK. I have to admit. I like that bitch... a bit.

Sino naman ung di ma-iinlove sa sobrang gwapong lalakeng napaka-caring, gentle, and protective.

Tapos hinawakan pa kamay ko! WAHHHHHH.

For me, he's like an older brother figure. Always there for her little sister when she needs help, when she's in trouble, or when she just simply needs him.

But if he really is my older brother, it might be ince-

Wait, no! It's not...

Who the heck am I kidding? Halata naman ako eh. To be honest with you, I like him.

I...

I want to be with him.

I want to talk to him more.

I want to spend time with him.

I want myself to be his.

I want him to be with me forever.

I want him to be mine.

I want him.

I want him and I can't deny it anymore.

This is too early to say and to confirm. It sure escalated too damn quickly. But what the heck. I've already fallen for it.

This is why nag-agree ako na "magdedate" daw kami. Pumayag nga ako, strct dad naman.

I'm sure papayag naman si Papa. He said he wants me to make friends. I'm making friends with him. I'm sure that'll count as Dad's expectations.

"Ms. McTavish, are you feeling alright?" Natauhan ako ng bigla akong tanungin ni Sir Christopher.
