I heard Nico's sigh and walked away with his head down low, looking like he losed a competition.
"What's happening?" Ang tanong ni Colin na tinuturo si Nico walking away. But, I just shrugged and took a deep breath with the bell ringing.
Thank goodness walang tao sa locker room. Nakakagulat nga eh, bigla nalang si Nico nang-yakap. Parang may malaking problema si Nico nung tinitignan ko s'ya. His face was full of worries. I feel pity for him. Hindi niya man lang sinabi kung anong meron.
I waved goodbyes at Colin who was going inside his classroom. I walked inside the classroom, seeing the teacher which was already on her spot. I simply just nodded at her, strolling my feet towards my seat.
I could always feel their stares at me that makes me uncomfy. Then there's these three bullies, looking at me. I took a quick glance at Nico na naka yuko habang ang dalawa naman n'yang kaibigan ay nag-uusap until the class had started.
The teacher was discussing things when suddenly I got hit by a paper ball na ikinagulat ko. "Sino naman nag bato nito?" I asked myself as I looked around. The paper ball was on the floor. Napapansin ko itong may sulat sa gilid na ikinatataka ko.
"Hm?" I titled my head as I reach for the paper ball on the floor out of my curiousity. Ibinuka ko naman ang papel na gusot-gusot. Napansin ko namang may naka-sulat dito.
"meet me in the parking lot after school
- stephen"
Kumunot naman ang aking noo habang binabasa ang nakasulat sa papel nato. "Ano nanaman kailangan niya?" whispering at myself, face palming as I imagine the things that will happen earlier kapag pumunta ako doon. Yeah, I know may nangyari samin, but hindi na mauulit yon. I swear to gods. I still hate him.
I flicked my head into Stephen who was casually looking at me, holding the paper na binato niya. He just smiled at me sheepishly. Eyes narrowing seeing him smiling at me. I cramppled back the paper and threw it at the trash can near my seat.
I returned back from where I was focusing but I could still feel Stephen's gaze at me. Fuck, it's giving me goosebumps again. Can he just stop staring at me? It feels so weird.
I took a quick glance at him again with a puzzled face. Yes, nakatitig na naman siya sakin. I shook my head and pointed at the teacher sheepishly who was discussing, signaling him to listen. He just simply nodded.
Napansin kaming dalawa nila Nico at Isaiah. They were just looking at us. Kumunot naman ang noo ko sa kanilang dalawa, pointing at the teacher, signaling them to listen. They just gave me a puzzled face and turned their heads.
Returning my head, I could still feel Stephen's gaze at me. I sighed, trying to focus on the teacher. The teacher was going back and forth, discussing the topic about something I couldn't understand. Stephen's gaze makes me lose my focus.
Pinching my thighs with my left hand, I heard the bell ring, which made me jump off my seat. I quickly stand off my seat, hands on my bag as I walk out of the class.
In the lockers, I was putting my things on the locker wondering why Stephen threw a paper on me in the middle of class telling me to meet him after school. That's weird, ngayon lang to nangyari.
Colin tapped on my shoulder with a smile on his face. I simply just smiled back and shook my head. "Cafeteria?" Ang pag-yaya ni Colin. "Tara" I answered, nodding at him.
Strolling on the hallways, I saw Nico with that girl again that gave me a pang of jealousy, again. Why the fuck am I getting jealous over that babaero? I rolled my eyes while walking towards the cafeteria. Trying to ignore them as Nico noticed me.
We sat at our usual table with Luna. They were chatting about something as Colin and I took a seat on their table. Luna turned her head at us and grinned as she was popping some snacks.
I smiled back sheepishly, noticing Nico and that girl again took a seat near the windows. There was Stephen and Isaiah who were casually talking to each other, laughing I see. I leaned forwards as I glanced at them.
"Guys, may parating na laro yung mga football players dito!" Claude said getting excited. "Maraming pogi!" she added.
"G ba kayo guys?" Stephanie said with an exciting tone. I noticed Martin shook his head while smiling as he popped the spoonful of spaghetti in his mouth.
"Mga babaero naman" I whispered. Luna turned her head at mine with a smile on her face. Dang, she's really cute. Her round eyes are getting smaller as she smiles at me. Now, I found myself looking at Luna who was eating her Lunch talking to Claude about the Football match.
Of course there will be three of them. I still hated them for what they did to me. But something in me just wants to watch them. I sighed as I turned back my eyes at them, popping the snack in my mouth.
Nico's hands were on the thighs of the girl as his group of friends were talking and laughing. It always makes me jealous watching Nico with that girl.
...
I heard a notification sound in the pocket of my pants, signaling me that I got a message. I fished my hands through my pocket, getting the phone.
The class has just ended. Colin was beside me as we strolled down the hallways. Colin noticed the popped message in my phone too as I glanced at my phone. There was a recent message, it was from Stephen.
-Stephen-
