Blythe's POV

Pagbukas ko ng pinto ng kuwarto ko ay siya ring pagbukas ng pintuan ng kabilang kuwarto. Nagkatinginan kami ng taong kalalabas lang doon. Walang imikan. Walang kumilos. Nagkatinginan lang kami.

Now, this ain't like those movies when two people  were stupefied while looking into each other's eyes and it feels like the world stopped spinning and everything that they needed were right in front of them.

It's just not this.

Because the moment I saw her, all I wanted to do was to shoot lightning at her and watch her body burn as she dies to an imminent death. That's a little morbid but I'd pay just to see that.

From the side of my eyes I took a glance at the only bathroom in this apartment. And as if she's thinking the same, we ran towards it and grabbed hold of the door knob almost at the same time. Nauna nga lang ako dahil nasa ilalim ang kamay ko habang nakapaibabaw naman ang kamay niya sa akin. They are warm.

Erase! Erase!

"You know for a runner, you're quite slow." Pang aasar ko sa kanya.

"Damn it!" She basically withdraw her hand as I flashed her a triumphant smile. I think I saw the corner of her lips move but I don't wanna assume stupid things. As long as I have the bathroom first, I don't give a damn about her.

I took my time in the bathroom para lang mang asar. Bahala siya kung malate siya sa mga lakad niya. Are athletes morning persons? Because if they are, then she should have acted friendly towards me on the first day. Baka pagbibigyan ko pa siyang maunang gumamit ng banyo. Too bad she's an evil woman.

After taking a bath ay lumabas ako wearing my pink cotton robe. Naabutan ko siyang prenteng nakaupo sa kitchen habang humihigop ng kape at hawak sa kamy iyong house rules. Tumaas ang kilay ko dahil doon.

"We need to settle this ASAP." She's looking at me intently. Unti unting bumaba ang tingin niya at hinagod ako ng tingin. I smiled to myself. I should have wore the sexy silk robe instead.

What? Gusto mong magpaboso sa babaeng iyan? I shook my head at the thought.

"What is it?" Nilapitan ko siya.

"I made some adjustments." Inabot niya iyong papel.

Kinuha ko iyon mula sa kanya at napataas ang kilay ko nang makita ang 'adjustments' na sinasabi niya. Rule five which is the cooking rule is crossed out. Sinulatan niya iyon ng 'Buy your own groceries. Cook your own food. Wash your own dishes.' Binasa ko iyon pababa at naka cross out rin ang rule 9—the bathroom rule. Ang pinalit niya doon ay 'The use of bathroom in the morning is alphabetically arranged.'

"Anong alphabetically arranged?" nakataas ang kilay na tanong ko.

"Auburn first before Blythe. Just like Romano first before Santiago." Humigop siya sa sa kape niya tapos pailalim niya akong tiningnan.

Pagak akong tumawa. "Ano tayo? Nasa eskwelahan?"

"Hindi. Pero alas siyete ang start ng training ko. I should get ready before then. Whilst you, office starts at 8 AM if I'm not mistaken. So mauuna ako. Don't worry, I specifically wrote the amount of time I needed to use the bathroom." Tiningnan kong muli ang papel. Tama nga siya. There's a note just below her handwriting that she'll need 30 minutes in the bathroom.
