Chapter 17

"Where are you going, Angela?'

I was about to meet Xavier when Gabby asked me. Nasa room kami to talk about our activity in Philippine History and we're in the same group. Umalis na si Prof dahil time na at vacant namin kaya dito muna kami habang nagpaplano.

"May pupuntahan lang." I didn't wait for him to answer me.

I went to our meeting place which is just in the lobby near his department. Yes! Ako pa ang nag adjust for him, napaka gentleman talaga. I walked fast because I am twenty minutes late at the time we talked.

As I went there, no Xavier all over the place. Gosh I can't believe that man ditched me! He's the one who asked to meet me tapos wala siya. I looked for him all over the place kasi sayang naman ang pinunta ko rito para lang sa kanya.

"You're late." I almost shout when someone talked at my back.

"Bakit ka ba nangugulat?!" Sigaw ko rito habang nakahawak sa dibdib.

He remained his cold face on me. "I didn't meant to." He shrugged while his hands on his pockets.

I took a deep breath before speaking at rolled my eyes secretly. I extend my hand who's holding my memory card. He didn't get it and looks at me blankly.

"I'll just give you my memory card. I still have loads to do, so I can't join you for editing." Explain ko.

Pagkaangat ko nang mukha, nagtaka akong makita ang mga mata nitong nanatili lang sa akin, walang expresyon. Hinarap ko sa mukha niya ang memory card dahil mukhang walang balak kunin 'yon at nakatulala lang sa akin.

My brows furrowed at him. "Are you accepting it or no---"

"Why are you late?" He cut me off. I arched my brows at him for asking such questions.

"Why are you asking?" He remained silent. A grin slowly form on my face when I thought about something to tease him. "Miss mo 'ko,  'no?" I jokingly said and laughed hardly.

"Damn! I've been waiting for you here for about twenty minutes. I even ditched my class just to meet you and now you're accusing me of something just because I'm asking?"

Napatigil ako sa pagtawa at ngayon ay  nakawahak na sa dibdib ko nang bigla siyang sumigaw at nagalit sa akin. Tiningnan siya nang gulat pero may konting takot dahil sa mukhang 'yon. Luuuhh, grabe siya. Oa naman nito, parang binibiro lang e.

"Defensive mo naman, parang binibiro lang e. Daming sinabi." Bulong ko nang mahina para hindi niya marinig at hindi dumagdag ang inis.

Napayuko nalang ako habang tinitingnan ang memory card. Tumikhim siya kaya napalingon ako, hindi nagsasalita kaya ako na ang nauna.

''Here. It's my old card. Walang laman kaya rito ko na trinansfer lahat ng files. Magtatagal kasi kung isesend ko pa." I rolled my eyes when he still won't accept it.

I took a deep breath. "I can't join you for editing. I'm busy with my club. But I'll try my best to come." Dagdag ko para matauhan siya.

He sigh and gets the card on my hand. "Still busy with your club?" He simple asked.

Actually that's not true. Sinabi ko lang para mas kapani paniwala kaysa naman school works, I don't think maniniwala agad 'yon.

"Yeah. Tutoring." Yes, it's true. Our club is now tutoring for some students so yeah. That's it.

Katahimikan ang bumalot sa aming dalawa, rito ko lang naramdaman ang awkwardness. Kasi naman e, nakatayo lang kami ng magkaharap tapos hindi nagiimikan. E ang tahimik ng paligid kasi class hours pa.
