Avoiding The Player

Two

"Hi miss! I'm Ash Franklin. And you are?"

"Ugh. The hell I care kung sino ka?!"

"Aw naman miss. Harap harapang rejection? Sakit ah." Acting as if it was truly painful.

"Will you leave me Asshole! I'm trying to do something!"

"Grabe ka naman Katie! My name is just Ash wag mo namang dagdagan! Ang pangit tuloy pakinggan!" And the asshole just laughed it off! Ugh! Please remind me how do we suddenly become close?

He's Ash Franklin Lopez, and he's a total player.

Based on the description of players that I've read from fallenbabybubu's book, he's The Slow Pacer type of player.

College, First day of First Semester.

"First day", ewan ko ba bakit sila natatakot pag first day? 'Di ba nila makita ang good side ng first day?

Yang mga "first day" are chances given to us! Chance para baguhin ang pangit na image. Chance to meet new people Chance para magkaroon ng bagong friends.. Chance to criticize others-- Ooops! Hahaha. Kiddding aside.

Ewan ko sainyo, minsan baliktad talaga utak ng mga studyante no? Bahala kayo, basta ako, I'm fine with "first day".

First class ko today? Philippine History.

Wow! A good way to start my morning. Nice. Clap clap naman dyan! I-feel niyo yung sarcaasm ha?

Dahil I don't specifically like History, I sat at the back of the class.

Ilang minutes lang may tumabi na sa akin, dahil unti unti nang napupuno yung room.

Dahil first day, may ka-ek ekan yung prof namin.

At dahil boring, di ko na pinagtuonan ng pansin.

"Pst."

Napalingon naman ako sa katabi ko. He's the typical pang wattpad guy. Pogi, matangkad, maputi, chinito, magandang built. He got looks you'll fall for.

"Yea?"

"Ang boring niya no?"

"Ooooh! It's a tie!" At nakipag high five ako sakanya.

"Hahaha. You're funny. By the way, I'm Franklin."

"Hi. I'm Medusa, so stop looking at me."

"Hahaha. Don't worry I'm Poseidon, I know you're inlove with me." sabay wink pa! SIGE! Landi pa more!

So makikita niyo namang, first day palang kalokohan na.

Pero first day palang, feel kong attracted na ako.

Pero Tip #1: Act cool around him. Wag mong papafeel na naiintimidate o atrracted ka sa kanya. Bakit? Just don't. It's dangerous. Once na nafeel niya at nalaman niyang attracted ka, you'll lose. Hawak ka na niya sa leeg. Tsk tsk. That would be fatal, for your information.

Natapos ang first class at isa pang class bago mag lunch break. May 10 minutes break kami after ng first class, at dahil first day nagsilabasan muna ang mga kaklase ko nung first class.

"Di ka lalabas?" tanong ni Franklin sa akin.

"Nope. I will just stay here. You know, baka mawala yung room."

Ugh. Malamang dito muna ako! Wala pa kaya akong kasakasama dito! Like duh? Can't he see that?!

"Hahaha. You're humorous. I like that!"

"Oh? Well, sorry di ka niya like."

Tumawa nanaman siya.

"Nakaka-insulto ka na ha? Lahat ng sinasabi ko tinatawanan mo."

"Hahahaha. Sorry, sorry. It's just that nakakatawa lang talaga. By the way, dito rin ba next subject mo?"

"Malamang naman no? Kaya nga ako dito nagste-stay diba? Minsan iniisip ko kung may common sense ka ba o wala e."

"Good. Dito din ako e." And his grin almost melts me.

Second class flew fast, as fast as the life of french fries in my hand. Tsk tsk. Poor fries.

"Uy. Tara sabay na tayong mag lunch. Alam ko namang wala kang kasabay mag lunch e."

"Oh. Wow! Clap clap. How thoughtful of you. But no thanks."

I felt my phone vibrating, must be an incoming call.

"Wait, I just have to answer this."

"Yow."

"Oy! Di kita masasamahan mag lunch ngayon, makikisama muna ako sa mga kaklase ko. You know? Building relationship." And by the sound of it I know she probably winked at the end of her line.

"Ugh. How can you be so inconsiderate?? Huhuhu."

"Hehehe. Love you! Bye!! We have to go na. Good luck!"

"Ugh! Whatever! Ingat nalang!"

"So, I presume you've changed your mind, huh?"

"Ano pa nga ba? Hayy. I guess I'm stucked with you the whole day."

"You're lucky for that." And I got another wink. -__-

Ewan pero feeling ko unti unti na akong nasasanay sa prescence niya.

Over lunch, nalaman kong parehas kami ng degree program, so that explains why I'm stucked with him. Akala ko this day lang, yun pala buong semester!

Why oh why?

Anyway, napag alaman ko ding sexist siya at 'di lang basta sexist, mayamang sexist! Paano ba naman, nilibre niya ako ng lunch dahil siya daw ang lalaki, at ang turo ng tatay niya sakanya ay wag na wag pagbabayarin ang babaeng kasama kung kaya naman niyang ilibre.

Wow. Ang swerte ko naman. Hahaha. Don't get me wrong ha? Di ako user-friendly at lalong lalo na hindi ako golddigger.

Nalaman ko ding he's a monster pag dating sa pag aaral! He's an university scholar kahit na may kaya sila! Can you believe it?! May mga lalaki pa palang matatalino? Hahaha. Guys, don't be offended ha? Di kasi usual sa lalaki ang maging batak sa pag aaral e. Hahaha.
