"Tapos na?" si Shae habang nakapatong ang mga hita ko sa magkabilang balikat niya.

Her head is between my legs, nakasabunot ang kamay ko sa buhok niya. Halos matumba siya habang kinakarga ang lahat ng bigat ko. I didn't mind it.

I slid the bar of chocolate from the inside my uniform blouse. The pink sticker note looked cute but my handwriting sucks. Atleast, I wrote it with so much effort.

Humawak ako sa gilid ng bintana, kahit maalikabok ay tiniis ko na lang. Nanliit ang mata ko. Their terror teacher is speaking in front. All students were serious and quiet as if their lives depends on what they are discussing.

My eyes went straight to the man who is seating beside this window. He was a bit far away from me. His cold eyes are looking sharply on the white board while biting the end of his ballpen. Seryoso at halos hindi kumukurap.

Inusog ko pa ang chocolate bar na tuluyang nahulog pala!

It made a noise.

My eyes widened when he looked at it. Umahon siya sa pagkakasandal at yumuko para pulutin ang nahulog ko. I panicked. Sinipa ko ang tagiliran ni Isa sa ibaba ko.

"Aray! Ano ba?" pabulong na sabi ni Shae.

I stopped breathing when a head rose from under. His eyes directly went on me like a sharp knife stabbed on my chest in a swift move. The only thing between us is the window glass of their classroom.

Kaba ang naramdaman ko. Its not my first time to gaze his eyes but then, everytime it happens, it feels so new. The longer I stare at it, the deeper I fell.

"H-hi.." I stuttered and made me feel embarrassed even more!

Sinabunutan ko si Shae habang hilaw na nakangiti kay Rashid. He doesn't look pleased. Kumunot ang noo niya at tinignan pa ang inihulog kong chocolate bar na may pink pa na sticker note na sinulat ko kanina!

"Baba na, Shae!" sigaw ko. Wala nang pakialam kung marinig niya at ng mga kaklase niya.

Mataas ang bintana ng classroom nila. That's why we needed to do that. Pupwede ko namang iabot na lang sa mga kaklase niya o kaibigan niya pero sa tingin ko'y mas magandang personal kong iabot iyon. Atleast he knows my efforts and he knows that I meant to give him that.

Inayos ko ang skirt ko nang makababa at hinila si Isa bago pa man siya makareklamo.

"Takbo, Shae!" I said while running from the back of their building. Mabuti na lang at wala kaming schedule ng klase ngayon.

Huminto kami sa hallway ng building namin. I sighed because of relief. Napangiti ako sa kawalan habang inaalala ang mukha ni Rashid nang makuha niya ang chocolate bar ko. I expected him to be annoyed, as always.

Pero ewan ko ba, kapag nakikita kong naiinis siya'y natutuwa ako!

"I can't believe I'm doing this for you!" annoyed, she said. "Tatlong taon ka nang nagpapapansin d'yan, wala ka namang napapala!"

I rolled my eyes. "I'm improving, Shae. Can't you see? He accepted the chocolate bar!"

"Because we ran so fast. He would throw it on your face if he had a chance."

"But he didn't. See? He will like me eventually. Magtiwala ka sa legs ko."

"Stop obsessing over that man, Gianna. Obvious naman na hindi ka type 'nun.." sumandal siya sa dingding.

She played with her red hair that is braided in a beautiful way. Her fair skin looked nice with it, anyway.

"Type ako 'nun, ayaw lang niya aminin."
