Embracing scars (COMPLETED)

05. Sweet Lili

Monday came.

Which means, may pasok na naman ulit. I always hate this day because I think all our professors love to drown us with laboratory assignments and fucking activities.

Kaya ito ako ngayon, nakasalampak ang mukha sa table habang hinihintay ang mga pinsan ko. I'm so tired. Nauna kasi natapos ang klase ko dahil may meeting ang professor namin. Kaklase ko si Kianna but I don't hella know where she is right now.

I am just scrolling in my phone when I noticed someone who just entered the cafeteria. Ibabalik ko na sana ang tingin ko sa phone ng may maalala ako sa mukha niya.

Wait ---

Where did I see him? He really looked so familiar to me.

Wait ..

OH MY GOD!!!

Napatayo ako.

He is the guy from that night!

We're schoolmates? Damn. What a small world. Napaupo ako ulit ng medyo kumalma ako. Saka ko siya muli nilingon. He is damn hot even though he is just walking. Is he a model or something? He has sharp features eh. Ngayon ko lang na-appreciate. Napagbintangan ko pa naman na manyak.

I gritted my teeth as I remember that night. Nakakahiya pala! To think na nasampal ko pa siya. Sabi pa naman nila Storm, masakit ako manampal. Baka nga totoo. Nakakahiya!

Nang palabas na siya, dali-dali kong hinablot ang bag ko saka siya sinundan. Nakasalubong ko palabas si Kuya pero dahil sa pagmamadali, hindi ko na siya pinansin.

Napalinga-linga ako para makita kung saan siya dumaan. Nakita ko ang pamilyar niyang tikas na papaliko sa right wing kaya mabilis akong naglakad para sundan siya.

Napahinto lang ako ng makita siyang nasa garden. What is he doing here?

Tumikhim ako para mapansin niya.

He only looked at me for --few good seconds before he returned to what he was doing. Wait ---

He is smoking? Tsk

"You know smoking is bad to your health, right?" sabi ko saka naupo malapit sa bench na kinauupuan niya. But I put some distance because first, baka akala niya fc ako. Second, I really hate the smell of cigarette.

"As if you care." He coldly said, without even glancing at me. Tsk! Para naman mamamatay siya kapag tiningnan ako. Ang ganda ko kaya tapos hindi man lang niya papansinin?

I care of course, duh. Sayang naman ang pagiging gwapo niya kung mamamatay siya dahil sa paninigarilyo. I like him but I really don't like guys who smoke. Seriously. Pero baka sa kanya, maging exemption.

"I don't. But as a future doctor, I am telling you. Kawawa naman ang lungs mo." ani ko pero wala siyang responde. Tss

Tumayo ako saka hinarap siya. "Anyway, I'm only here to apologize for what I've done that night. It's all the alcohol's talking and doing. I didn't realize I was following the wrong dude." I explained myself so that I'll be free from guilt. "I know alcohol isn't really an excuse for how I acted that night, so I'm sorry."

Hindi pa rin siya nagsasalita. Pasalamat ka at gwapo ka! Hmp!

"Still not talking to me?"

I crossed my arms in my chest. "Wow, so I'm talking to hangin. Nice." Doon ko lang nakuha ang atensyon niya

"Apology accepted. Now, leave." he coldy said. Bakit ba ang gwapo niya kahit ang sungit?

"Fine." I rolled my eyes before I turned my back at him. Nang bumalik ako sa cafeteria, nandoon ang mga pinsan ko.
