"For you.."
Bea reached for what he's giving her.
Bea gave him a questioning look.
"Schedule yan. Bukasan mo kase. =___=. It would be better if you would have a copy. In that way, I don't have to contact you." He said sternly. Placing his hands to his pocket and not looking at her.
"Tss. Conceited."
Nikka hissed to herself. She doesn't know kung bakit sinusunod ni Bea ang kumag na 'to.
She gave her friend a 'you-have-to-explain-everything-look' kahit na hindi sya nito tinitgnan.
"Okay. So....meet you at Felizardo building mamay--"
"Tara na. Umalis na 'yung prinsipe mong mukhang kuto!" Nikka pushed her friend. Nilayasan lang kasi sya nung Terrence na 'yon, bastos talaga.
Dun lang narealize ni Bea na wala na pala si Terrence sa harap nito. She just saw their retreating back papunta sa building nila.
'Ang gwapo nya talaga!' She said to herself..'Magkakasama nanaman kami mamaya~~' She continued.
*PAK*
"Aray naman Nikks! Ano ba?" She touched her paining head. Binatukan lang naman sya ni Nikka. T.T
"Ikaw, masyado kang mahalina dyan sa lalaking yan! Bulag bulagan ba ang peg te?! Gising din pag may time. Wala ka ng pag-asa dun okay? Ano bang di mo makita at maintindihan?! Nagmumukha ka ng tang-"
"Nako Nikka! Late na tayo bilis!!!" she said then run as if her life depends on it.
Kaylangan nyang takbuhan si Nikka. Never ending din kasi ang bunganga nito. Just like Eumee. Nako.. Yung mga barkada nya pa pala! Wag nalang kayang pumasok????? (YoY)
--
Pagdating ni Bea sa clasroom kumpleto na ang mga classmate nya.
"Hoooo. Pagod." She said, clutching her chest, panting from her run.
"HOY BERNADETTE!" Nikka shouted from her back.
Umupo kagad si Bea sa tabi ni Jana.
"Tinakbuhan ko kasi si Nikka, pano ang dald--"
"Hehehe. Anong meron? ~___~????" She said. Alam nyang nangangati na ang mga kaybigan nyang makarinig ng explanation mula sa kanya.
"Tabe!" Nikka snap to her classmate. Nilagay nya ang bag sa upuan sa harap ni Bea at humarap sya dito with her right hand on her waist.
"Bakit mo 'ko tinakbuhan?! Kala mo naman makakaligtas ka! Alam nyo bang nakita namin si Terre-- hmmmmm! Hmmmm!" Nikka tried to removed Bea's hands on her mouth.
"Mamaya na ko mag eexplain please. Sasabihin ko lahat mamaya, promise!"
Nakatingin sya sa mga barkada nya na hindi maalis ang pagkakatitig sa kanya. Titig in not so friendly way. Mga craving for gossip looks, at nakakatakot sila kung di mo ibibigay ang gusto nila. (YoY)
"Oh, are you playing the kidnapper and hostage game , huh miss?"
Napaupo silang bigla ng marinig ang boses ng professor nila.
"Makatakip ka sa bibig ko, kala mo ang bango ng kamay mo." Nikka hissed to Bea. Agad naman inamoy ni Bea ang palad nya.
"Hmmm, di naman." Bea pouted and Nikka just smirk. Uto- uto talaga. She told to herself.
"Good morning class."
"Good morning Sir..."
"Good morning class. Section E, right?" The professor placed his folder on the table ang sit on it.
"Yes sirrr~~" The student said in chorus.
The professor seemed to be around 40's.
"I am your professor in Taxation. I am Mr. Edgardo Magdaraog...."
The new professor started blabbering at hindi nanaman sila nakikinig. =____= Well except for Mich, the righteous one. Kahit parang bubuyog kung magkwentuhan ang mga barkada nya ay pinilit nya paring makinig. Tough she can't find any interest to this old man but his necktie that seemed to cool for him.
----
*hhhhaaaaaah*
Aika yawned, stretching his arms. She managed to take a nap while their professor's inside the class.
"Buti ka pa naka-idlip. Ang hirap matulog si Sir laging nakatingin sa side ko T.T"-- Jana
"Yiee..may ka- love team ka nanaman!" She flinch with Nikka's pinch.
"Yuck ha! Thunders na 'yon!" She defended shoving her friend's arm.
"Jana..ang kilabot ng mga Thunders!! Hahahaha!"
"Beaaaaaaa!! Humanda kaaaa!!!" She run after Bea laughing to her friend's comment.
***
They went to the cafeteria after the 'chasing Bea' spiel.
"So..Bea. Anong nangyare?"
Right after they smack their butt on the chair, Aika asked her. Impatient isn't she?
"Ano lang yun..uhmm..yung ano..kasi ano.." Not knowing where to start, she stuttered to her own words whilst knotting her fingers on her lap.
"Wow, Bea. What are you? A three year old kid? Uutal- utal ka dyan?" Eumee chimed in, irritation was evident to her face as she waited for Bea's explanation.
"Chill. Masyado kang hot! Hinga din Bea." Jana said, trying to lift the tension between her friends. Alam nyang hindi gusto ni Eumee na nalalapit si Bea kay Terrence. Neither of them doesn't want to. Pero alam nyang hindi makakatulong ang pagkainit ng ulo.
Eumee didn't take her eyes away from Bea that is now looking down..looking for words to say.
"Bea..okay lang 'yan. Sabihin mo na." She lifted her head and look at Mich. She had her hand on her shoulder, soothing her.
She turn to look at her friends. Eumee's looking onto her. Nikka's tapping her finger on the table, waiting for her explanation and so Aika. Jana's nodding at her, encouraging her to speak.
She heaved a deep sigh. "Ganito kasi 'yon.."
-----------
"Tapos binigay nya pa talaga 'yung schedule nung babaeng 'yun sayo?! Tch! May ikakapal pa pala mukha nya!" Eumee crossed her arms to her chest with the disapproving look that was sketched to her face.
"Kalma! Eumee masyado naman maka react! May gusto ka ba kay Terrence?!"-- Aika
"What?!!" Eumee snapped at her, unbelieving what she had heard.
"The more you hate the more you love~~" Jana sang. Teasing her. Eumee only narrowed her eyes on her friends.
Mich just sniggered.
"Mich, ikaw din?!!" she nap to her.
"Hindi no! Natatawa lang ako sa reaction mo."-- Mich
"Yieee....kala ko si Bea lang. Ikaw ha." Nikka said poking her arms.
"Shut up okay?! Hindi ko sya gusto, never was and never will!"
"Hindi nya gusto si Terrence. Si Tommy kaya type nyan." Bea said cooly, not feeling the tension anymore.
Blush find its way to Eumee's face.
"See. Nagb-blush. At..speechless!" Be said in 'as-a-matter-of-fact' tone.
"Shut up Bea. It's not about me. It's you we're talking here." Eumee hissed flushing bright red.
"Hahahaha. Grabe Eumee. Kala ko may Gelo ka na?"-- Aika inquired, playfully wiggling her left eyebrow.
"Crush lang naman 'yung kay Tommy!" She defended, stomping her hands on the table.
Biglang nagtinginan yung mga estudyante sa canteen.
"Okay, so much for attention guys. Umorder na tayo." Jana said, instructing her friends to come with her at the counter area.
----
"Aww. Sakit sa ulo!" Nikka winced in pain. Placing her hands to her throbbing head.
"Si Ma'am naman kasi, first meeting quiz agad!"-- Aika said, gripping her bag's strap.
"Sus. Para naman ang hirap nung quiz ee previous lesson lang yung sa pre- requisite subject.
=___=" Mich spat.
"Ikaw talaga Mich. Nag eemote pa kami we!" Nikka stomp her feet.
"Tara na nga. Nagugutom na 'ko." Jana said, pulling Bea's hand.
"Tara na dali--"
Jana was cut off. Bea's not moving.
"Bea?" They all looked to her.
"Ahmm, ano kasi.."
"Bakit, Bea?" Mich asked.
"Kaylangan ko na kasing pumunta sa Felizardo Hall. S-si Coleen kasi.."
"Kaylangan mo ba talagang pumunta dun ha? Umabsent ka na kahapon a." Aika snap at her.
"Last na 'to! I promise. Makakausap ko na si Coleen at magiging okay na ang lahat." She gave them a reassuring smile.
"Text us. Kapag nakausap mo na yung Coleen na 'yon."-- Eumee
Bea hugged her friends and Eumee was startled with an 'omph'.
"Nag aalala kayo masyado. Kaya 'to no! Ako pa!" -- Bea
"Yun nga ee. Ikaw pa =___="-- Nikka
"Tss. Alang bilib 'to." Said Bea, facing her as she turn from Eumee. "Payakap nga." She continued, outstretching her arms..
"Yuck! Wag ngaaaaa!" Tumakbo palayo si Nikka at sinundan naman ito ng mga kaybigan nya. They left Bea chasing after them.
---
Kumain sila for miryenda bago magstart ang next class nila. While Bea took her way to Felizardo Hall. Kaylangan nya pang makausap si Coleen.
Nakarating sya sa 3rd floor ng building. Along the hallway kasi ang room ni Coleen.
She looked to her watch..3:12 pm.
She took the schedule from her pocket, it says there that her class would be until 5pm.
"Good, makakauwi ako ng maaga" She said to herself, sitting on the strair.
She waited. quarter to 4 na pero wala padin si Terrence. 'Hindi ba sya pupunta?' She asked.
She took out her paper and pen. She then tied her hair in a messy bun and started to write.
"Coleen..Hi..?...uhmmmm..Hello?? Err, kamusta?"
'Mali Bea! Ano ka ba? So-sorry lang di pa alam?!' She snap to her self, scratching her head using her pen.
'Tss, pano kasi 'to?'
Nagsimula ulit syang magsulat hanggang sa makuha nya ang dapat sabihin, pero dahil sya si Bea, syempre laging failed ang attempt nya.
"Arghh! 'yoko na!" She said stomping her feet in irritation. She held her face with her both hands, placing it over lap. She had her nose cringe up and her lips pucked up in exasperation.
'Text ko kaya sila Eumee para magpagawa ng sasabihin?' She straighten herself then curled up like a hopeless child when she had realize texting them wouldn't make any better, though alam nyang hindi sya pababayaan ng mga 'to.
*INHALE*
*EXHALE*
"Kaya ko 'to.. now Bea isipin mong nandyan si Coleen..what to say?" She instructed herself.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nagmamadali si Terrence na pumunta sa Felizardo hall, mag lalabasan na sila Coleen anytime soon.
"Shit! Baki ba kasi may 3rd floor" He cussed to himself whilst running to the stairs.
Pagkatapos ng mahaba- habang pag- takbo, nakating din sya. He placed his hands to his chest, catching for air to breathe.
"Coleen.."
Napahinto sya.. She has this power over him na kahit pag banggit lang ng pangalan nya napapahinto ang mundo ni Terrence.
He was excited, agitated, happy and inquisitive at the same time.
Anong sasabihin ni Bea, anong magiging reaksyon ni Coleen. Will she accept what Bea has to say, will she believe her? Will she come back to him? Will she love him.. again? This questions are floating to his head. Damn that he was stuck sa pagkakatayo nya.
"...Hi..?...uhmmmm..Hello?? Err, kamusta?"
'Huh?! O____o??'
'Shit! ano 'bang sinasabi nya?'
Sumilip sya sa kinaroroonan ni Bea, and there he saw her looking down at her pad whilst writting to what seemed to be a her 'sorry- speech' he even saw her scratching her head with her pen.
He's not aware of the lopsided smile that had form to his lips.
"Tss. Parang bata." He decided to come over her, hands on either of his pocket and that smirk on his face that he's not aware of. but then he stopped with his second step ng marinig nya ang pag sigaw nito.
"Arghh! 'yoko na!"
That made him roll his eyes. Para syang grade three student kung umarte. He doesn't know what got into him but he found himself looking for some spot within the small stair area, dun sa hindi sya makikita pero makikita nya si Bea.
He watched her as she place her face onto her hands that were resting to her lap. She cringe up her nose and pucked her lips up.
'Typical lameheaded girl' He spat to her without uttering any of the word.
He almost laugh when she straighten up herself and curled herself up again.
He remembered last night nung nagrobot- robot-an sya.
He get himself a grip. baka makita sya ni Bea. He find her amusing with her actions. Para syang bata, careless and carefree of what she's doing, hindi nga yata 'to nag iisip. He wonder kung pano ito nakakapasa sa mga exam nila, o kung pumapasa ba talaga sya. Malay nyo nilakad lang diba?
'College naba talaga sya?' He asked to himself as he shift his wieght from left to right foot, still watching her every move.
*INHALE*
*EXHALE*
'Ano nanaman gagawin nya?' He questioned himself.
"Kaya ko 'to.. now Bea isipin mong nandyan si Coleen..what to say?" She sounded serious. Her face were calm, some strands of her hair were hanging freely along the side of her face, lips were partly parted, she slightly smile.....smile...she...she smile...
"Coleen.." Coleen. The name registered to him and he was stratled, he was in trance.
He shook his head then smile at the thought of Coleen. He missed him so much.. her hair perfectly flowing down to her back, her eyes that were always glowing with love. And there's her smile.. her smile..Then a flash of Bea's face smiling came in
but it was gone by a second.
'The fvck.' He hissed to himself.
"...natatandaan mo pa ba 'ko? Ako si Bea, the one whp kissed Terrence, ako 'yun. Yung sumira sa inyong dalawa..Sorry. Sorry sa nagawa ko.
Ala ko na naging makasarili ako, sinungaling ako pag sinabi kong di ko 'yun ginusto. Pero maniwala ka man o hindi, hindi ko intensyon yung mga nangyare pagkatapos ng ginawa ko. Hindi ko ginusto na maghiwalay kayo, na magalit ka sakanya, na masktan ka na iwan mo sya.. lahat.
Alam ko makapal ang mukha ko, pero Coleen, pwede bang balikan mo ulit sya? Balikian mo si Terrence. Mahal ka nya Coleen. Sobra ka nyang mahal. Alam mo ba, mukha na syang busangot ngayon?" She snickered to her own comment. "Napabayaan nya na yung sarili nya, nawalan na sya ng ganang tumawa.
Alam kong malungkot sya dahil wala ka sa tabi nya, at dahil sakin 'yun. kaya I'm sorry Coleen, please.. balikan mo sya..balikan mo si Terrence. Para makangiti na sya ulit, yung ngiti na ikaw lang yung nakakagawa..mahal ka nya Coleen, alam kong hindi ko sya ganun ka kakilala para sabihin to,
pero alam ko..alam ng lahat.. kung gano ka nya kamahal, at kung gano sya ka-miserable pag wala ka.." She continued.
Before he even stop himself, he was in front of her looking at her with his hands crossed in his chest.
''T-terrence..Terrence! kanina ka pa ba dyan?!" She was starltled and he find it amusing.
He smirked. "May problema ba sa pangalan ko? Palagi ka nalang nauutal..may speech defeciency ka ba/" He tease. He watch as her cheecks blush.. bright red.
"A-ano k-kasi.. kanina ka pa ba dyan? Narinig mo ba yunh..yung speech ko?"
Kinakabahan sya. Nakakahiya kasi na marinig ni Terrence diba? ang awkward >/////<
"No" He said simply. Hindi nya alam pero pakiramdam nya, hindi na nito kaylangan malaman na narinig nya ang mga sinasabi nito.
"Phew. Buti nalanag." She said, placing a hand to her chest.
*Ring.Ring*
*Dance, dance, dance, da-dance.boom shakalaka..bo-boom shakalaka dance, dnce, dance, da-dance.*
Dali- daling hinanap ni Bea ang phone nya. Sigurado syang sakanya ang nag riring na phone na 'yon. Ang awkward naman diba kung kay Terrence.
'Hala baka isipin nya Kpop ako!!! Asan ba kasi 'yun?!!!' She hissed to herself. Kinapa nya sa bag nya pero hindi nya makita.
Terrence's watching her every move. Trying his best not to laugh to her..and to her ringtone.
"Asan na ba kasi.." Sa sobrang pag mamadali nya ay tinaktak nya na ang laman ng kanyang bag.
"ayun!..Pahirap ka! Hmmm!...*ehem* Hello.."
Jana's on the other line. "Teh! Asan ka na daw?!"
"Hala. andito pa ko, bakit?"
(Aba't nagtatanong ka pa talaga?! Bumalik ka na dito!) Narinig nyang sigaw ni Aika from the other line.
"Oo, saglit lang.." She answered. She looked at Terrence whose now looking at the open area in front of the building. Tumayo sya lumayo ng konti para kausapin ang mga kaybigan nya.
Terrence saw her in his peripheral vision. She stood up leaving her things that are now if he must say is.. overly messed up on the stairs.
'Burara' he commented.
Napansin nya ang isang yellow notebook na may floral designs. He took it out of curiosity.
NEVER SAY DIE....
GINEBRA
That was what written on the first page.
'Ginebra pala wa, tss..ala yan sa Talk and Text ko'
He let out a soft chuckle. He can't imagine her cheering for her favorite basket ball team. 'is that even possible?' He asked.
He randomly turn the pages until somthing caught his attention.
September 23, 20** .. NAKASABAY KO SI TERRENCE!!!!!!!!
'Yieee... super..ang gwapo grwapo nya.. left side view, right side view lalo na front view!! Super ang bango bango nya..at super gentle man, tinulungan nyo yung ale na bumaba ng jeep!!! >////<
I wonder if he would ever do the same with me.. kyaah! sana ako nalang muna si Lola! He never looked to my side, kasi hindi rin naman ako makatingin sa kanya.. sayang. I promise, sa susunod na magkikita kami, mapapansin na nya 'ko.
Terrence <3'
He doesn't know what got into him at napangiti sya sa naka sulat. Sure that its not the first time that he knows someone who has a crush on him, but being able to read a love journal is different.
Its not everyday that he reads something like this. 'Tss..stalker..' he said, goofy smiling to himself
"Ano yan?!!!" He was shocked by Bea's sudden appearance. 'Shit, di ko pa nababasa lahat' He said to himself.
"It's a notebook. Can't you see?" He asked, sounding bored. He's rying to act as if he's done wrong.
"Pero notebook ko yan!" She spat.
"So what? Notebook padin 'to." He's trying to get away from the fact that Bea caught him reading her journal.
"Akin na 'yan!" He was shocked that Bea's now in front of him. She's trying to get back her note book.
"Bakit ba? Pahiram lang. Ang damot ha." He said, trying to get rid of the grin that was slowly sketching to his lips. It was beacuse of the fact that he knows why she's eagerly trying to get her notebook back.
"Terrence!" She snap at him. Nakikita nya na nangingiti ito.. 'baka nabasa na nya! Shemay wag po! Laman ng notebook na 'yan lahat ng pagpapatansya ko sa kanya !! TOT'
"N-nabasa mo no?!!!" She yell at him.
"Alin? Yung Never say die? Motto of the always second best Ginebra?" He tease.
"Take that back! Hindi second best ang Ginebra.!!!"
"Make me," He tease her once again.
"Ha?"
"Make me take back what I've said. Stupid =______="
She blushed. Boy was she tupidd.
"Akin na nga kasi 'yan" She said, reahing out for Terrence's hand that's holding her notebook.
"abutin mo muna" He said grinning. He doesnt care of there position. not to mention Bea's close to him. Close means they had their body bearly rubbing on each other as she reached for her notebook.
Bea could careless.. nakasalalay sa notebook na 'yon ang kahihiyan nya. And she has to take that back. NOW.
"Akin na sabi ! Terrence ano baaaaaaaa....!"
"Abutin mo mun---" He was cut off, mid sentence. Bea's left han is on his left shoulder while her other hand was outstertching to his right hand. Bea was tip toed to reach him.
California kingbed boy..
Chest to chest.. nose to nose to nose.. arm to arm.. we are that close..
The moment that Terrence stopped napatigil din si Bea, pero nakarecover din sya..she used the situation to take he r notebook back.
She suddenly lose her balance ng itry nyang umayos ng tayo. She would smack the floor in any moment pero hindi ito nangyare.
Terrence wrapped his arm around her waist and his other hand was on her arm. He was supporting her from falling.
At dahil abusado si Bea at isa lang matinding taga hanga, ginamit nya ang pagkakataon para matitigan si Terrence, ang matangos nitong ilong.. ang maliit nitong mga mata at labi nitong kay pula na parang ang sarap halik-----
"TERRENCE?! WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?!!!!
