SYNTAX ERROR

IT'S BEEN five years since I met Roger. I must admit he have this looks that every girl would die for. His deep husky voice and the way he stand. He's just too hot. Naaalala ko pa noong una naming pagkikita. It was so funny and hilarious.

It's Saturday morning and my mom asked me to go to the grocery store. I wear my jacket and go. I don't have any cars or bikes so I don't have a choice, but to walk.

It took me twenty minutes bago ako makarating sa 7/11. Ang pinakamalapit na store sa amin. Una kong pinuntahan ang mga chocolates. Ugh, I can't live without eating this. It is my stress reliever, my happiness, my baby, my everything.

Agad kong hinanap ang KitKat Bar. Aktong kukunin ko na ito ng may lumapat sa kamay ko. It's a hand of a man behind me. Tiningala ko ang lalaking humawak noon. He was tall and have a muscular body that he can actually lift me using one arm. Kaya naman, bago nya magawa yun. I used my full strength to kick him down there. If you know what I mean.

I immediately grab the kitkat bar and go to the counter. Nakalimutan ko na ring bilhin ang pinapabili ni Mommy. After I gave the money, I ran fast so that he can't chase me.

When I arrived at home, itinago ko sa aking jacket ang Kitkat bar. At the living room, I saw Mom watching TV. I slowly walked to my room so that Mom won't notice me. Pagdating ko sa kwarto, inilock ko agad ang pinto saka humiga sa aking kama.

I sighed heavily. Naalala ko naman ang lalaki sa 7/11. Ano na kayang nangyari sa kanya?

Aish, what am I thinking? Mabilis akong tumayo saka pumunta sa banyo upang maligo. I make it fast because I'm already sleepy. After how many minutes, I'm ready to bed.

Marahan akong humiga sa aking kama at pinatay at aking lamp shade. Sa muling pagkakataon ay pumasok sa isipan ko ang lalaki.

Until the next time, Kitkat man.

After that day, I never expect to see him again. But guess what. Nagkita kami ulit. Nagtransfer kasi sya kasama ng mga kaibigan nya sa University namin. Classmate ko pa sya.

Pagkakita nya sa akin. Nanlaki agad ang mga mata nya habang nakaturo sa akin.

"I-it's her." gulat nya sabi habang nakaturo sa akin.

"Who?" tanong naman ng mga kaibigan nya.

"The one who's sitting behind that douche bag man." He said still looking at me. The whole room filled with laughter after he said that. Who wouldn't? He just called Kevin a douche bag man. Pfft, dude. That was hard.

"That's enough. You can sit now." Miss Helen said. She's our history teacher. May pagkastrikta syang professor, that's why when she said enough then it's enough. But its look like Roger is brave enough to ask a favor.

"Can I sit next to that girl?" Sabay turo sa akin. Ramdam ko ang titig sa akin ng lahat. I automatically bow my head so that they won't see me, blushing.

"Oh-kay? Do what ever you want, just sit down." I hear Miss Helen said. Napatingala naman agad ako. Did she just allow Roger to sit beside me? Shit.

"We meet again, kitkat girl. Don't you know that my friend hurts so bad because of what you did?" Bulong nya saakin ng makaupo na sya. Oh god. I can feel my cheeks reddened.

That day, wala akong ibang ginawa kundi ang iwasan si Roger. Even his friends. Whenever I see any signs of them, nagtatago na agad ako.

One time, habang naglalakad ako sa may corridor papunta sa may library. Narinig ko ang mga sigawan ng mga babae. Which is one of my sign that they are here.
