Perfect Heartbreaker (Heartbreakers Series #2)

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

My jaw was clenching when I sat beside Iñigo. Nakatanaw s'ya sa akin at nakangisi, but he knew better than pissing me off more.

I sighed and tried to calm down.

Goodness. Kailangan ko ng pasensya para kay Eva. Sir Bartolome gave us enough time to talk about our project a while ago. Aniya, we need to brainstorm. Mahirap kasi kakaunting chapters at kailangan ipasok mo na roon ang lahat ng detalye.

I knew that my suggestions can be rejected. Ang nakaka-inis lang kay Eva, I will give suggestions, she will reject it, and she will suggest another one, pero ang sinuggest n'ya, parang ang suggestion ko rin naman—inayos lang nang kaunti to her bidding!

I was really trying to control myself earlier. Kung hindi pa nag-time, who knows kung ano na ang nasabi ko?

"Tara na, ikain mo na lang 'yan." Sabay tapik ni Iñigo sa balikat ko. "Nand'yan na si Mr. Overall top 1 sa labas." He smirked.

Napabuntong-hininga ako at lumabas na. Leion's eyes were already on me and when he noticed my bad mood, his forehead immediately creased.

"What is it?" He asked.

Umiling ako.

"School works." Tipid kong sinabi at agad na hinawakan ang kamay n'ya.

Leion looked at our hands before he looked at me.

"I can help."

Napataas ang kilay ko sa sinabi n'ya at agad na nawala ang masamang mood. I chuckled and hugged his arm.

"Sweet ni pogi, ah." I laughed before I pulled him with me. "Don't worry, I can handle it. Ako pa ba?" I smirked.

Hinatak ko si Leion kasama ko papunta sa cafeteria. Nang mapansin ko lang ang ilang mga matang nakamasid sa amin, t'saka ako nagsimulang ma-ilang.

I cleared my throat. Patay-malisya kong sinubukang alisin ang hawak ko kay Leion pero nagulat ako nang higpitan n'ya ang hawak sa kamay ko.

He ignored my gaze and pulled me to the cafeteria. S'ya na ang nagpresintang bumili ng pagkain para sa aming dalawa.

I'm right. Hindi pa humuhupa ang usapan tungkol sa aming dalawa. Lalo pa't lagi nila kaming nakikitang magkasama nitong mga nakaraang araw.

With all the stares I am getting, for sure, marami na rin akong haters. Well, alam ko namang dati pang may mga inis sa akin, mas dumami lang siguro ngayon.

I mean... I was once branded as a man stealer. Kaya nga hindi ako nagkakaroon ng relasyon sa Torrero University. I don't like it when people meddle with my life. Sino ba sila?

Kaya nga kahit mga may nagpupumilit na manligaw sa akin na dito rin nag-aaral, I try my best to disassociate myself with them. It is also one of the reasons why I tried to ignore Patri, the suitor I got from ABM, and Dom, kahit pansin ko naman ang mga tingin n'ya.

I don't believe in courtship too. I mean... people give their best foot in courtship. You won't really see their true self because they will sugar coat everything.

Kaya siguro sinagot ko rin agad si Leion. I mean... he intrigues me. I just violated the first law I made: to not date a schoolmate.

"Hi, Nico!"
