Game of Love

It's already 8 o'clock and gladly I did not woke up late kasi medyo maaga first subject namin ngayon. Jusko di ko naman alam na sumobra na naman ako paglalaro kahapon, nakakabwisit yung Wise bida-bida masyado sa mga dungeons na outshine tuloy kagandahan ko. "Anak bumaba ka na dyan at nakahanda na ang almusal mo." I heard my father calling me for breakfast pero ayoko pa tumayo sa higaan ko, hanggang ngayon imbyerna pa din ako. "Johnmar Villaluna! Tatayo ka dyan o kakaladkarin kita pababa?!" Mas mabilis pa sa alas diyes akong tumayo sa hinihigaan ko nang marinig ko ang boses ng aking ama na parang di ako anak kung makasigaw jusmiyo. ***************************************** "Okay class, we have a new transfer student and he's arriving any moment now so be nice to him okay?" "Yes Ma'am!" My classmates responded cheerfully especially the girls as if they know who the transfer student is. I haven't heard anything about the new student and I didn't even know there's a student transferring to our school, the semester already started sa pakakaalam ko hindi pwede magpatransfer kapag nagsimula na semester mahihirapan ka lumipat unless mayaman ka or-- "Um... excuse me is this 4-A?" Isang matangkad, maputi, gwapo at parang mabango-- wait? Why the f**k did I described that guy? Kulang lang siguro ako sa tulog. I played too much last night and I didn't notice that it's already 5am na aaaaa regrets sabay hawi ng buhok but okay back to the new guy. "Are you the new student?" My professor asked while observing the new guy. "Yes Ma'am, can I come in? It's hot and there's a lot of girls asking for my name outside." The new student confidently said. "Wow, ang ang feeling akala mo sinong pogi, che!" So I looked outside since I'm not that interested. I'm going to imagine things nalang instead of listening to that feelingero. "Okay but introduce yourself first then you're free to sit." The teacher replied. The new guy walked in front of the class and he noticed that there's a guy at thw back looking at the window and not paying attention. He stood up firmly, clears his throat and said "Hi, I'm Danerie James Del Rosario you can call me DJ for short, my friends calls me Wise but you can't call me that, wag feeling close." "Is that all? You can add more if you want" the teacher added. "Yes ma'am, I'm not good at introductions." Danerie replied while looking to the guy at the back. "Okay you can sit beside Mr. Villaluna since he's spacing out again you can also knock him out so he can go back to his senses", the teacher jokingly said. The classroom filled with laughter after hearing the teachers joke. "Is he always like that?" DJ asked. "Oo kaya dapat masanay kana hahahaha!" "Hoy! Kahit puyat at laging lutang lagi naman top student yan!!" "Danerie are you single---??" "Di kayo naririnig niyan, tignan niyo wala nanaman sa urat." "I love mysterious guys~ Mr. Villaluna is so attractive like legit." And the tease saga continues... "Okay class that's enough, Mr. Del Rosario you can now go to your seat and we will begin our discussion for today." Tumango at dali-daling umupo ang binata and noticed that Mr. Villaluna is still looking outside so he tried to talk to him but didn't get any response so he lean forward and whispers to his ears and said "Hoy Mr. Lutang? The teacher is already discussing, makinig ka" Mr. Villaluna faced the person who interrupt his daydreaming but he suddenly felt something soft pressed on his lips. "Why naman my prince charming so early like di ko pa kinakagat yung mansanas ehe" DJ smiled because Villaluna didn't noticed that he said that out loud. "Looks like you enjoyed it, want some more?" he playfully added. Villaluna opened his eyes and realized that it was the new student lips. Villaluna got shocked and pushed Danerie away from him. "What the hell!? Did you do that on purpose? How dare you?!" Pasigaw niyang sabi. "Is there something wrong Mr. Villaluna?" You can go outside if you're being so noisy back there." The teacher said. Danerie smiles even more. "Nothing ma'am and I'm sorry." Umupo sya at tinitigan ng masama ang kanyang katabi sabay sabing "F*ck you, go to hell." DJ smirked and jokingly said "Oh yes f*ck me, and no I'm not going to hell, we're going to heaven hahahaha!" "Nakakatawa yon? Ang feeling mo sa part na hinalikan mo ko ng walang paalam! Di ka gwapo like legit!" "Huhuhu my precious first kiss gone, I cannot." dagdag pa nito. "Akala mo naman talaga, so need ko pala magpaalam?" he teased. Inhale, exhale. Relax self, new student yan. Time passed by, it's already past 12 o'clock Villaluna frown face never fade the whole time because of his annoying seatmate. "Oy Vee tara na-- oh ba't ganyan pagmumukha mo?" tanong nang kanyan bestfriend na si Tori. "Sinong di maiinis kung ganyan katabi mo?" sabay turo niya sa natutulog niyang katabi. "Hayaan mo na yan, tara na kain na tayo gutom na ko kanina pa ang tagal magdismiss ni Ma'am Margarita." "Sige hintayin mo nalang ako sa labas, ayusin ko lang tong gamit ko." Habang nag-aayos ng gamit napatingin siya sa kanyang katabi na ngayon ay payapang natutulog. "Ang gwapo mo sana kaso ang lakas ng hangin sa loob ng katawan mo, kabagin ka sana." "Vee!! Tara na ano ba" pabulyaw na tawag ni Tori na kanina pang naghihintay sa labas. "I'm coming." "And can you stop calling me that? Baka may makarinig sayo." pabulong niya pang sabi kay Tori. Little do they know, DJ was awake the whole time and he heard what did Tori called Johnmar that time. "Vee? I think I heard that somewhere.... Why is it seem so familiar to me?" DJ said and went back to sleep again. Habang sila ay naglalakad hindi maalis sa mukha ni Johnmar ang pagka-inis dahil sa kadaldalan ng kanyan kaibigan. "Tori yang bunganga mo talaga di mo mapigilan? Di lang mata malaki sayo, pati bunganga, pano nalang kung may nakarinig sayo nun? What will happen in my gaming career? My reputation here in our school?" As usual sinasabihan ko nanaman to dahil sa bunganga niyang walang preno. We're on our way to the cafeteria. "You know me, I'll call you that kapag alam kong tayo lang dalawa ang nandon." "Lahat na yata ng kapansanan Tori Recio kinuha mo na. Kalakihan ng mata, bungangang walang preno tapos ngayon bulag? Nandon yung transfer student! Sa laki nyang yon hindi mo siya napansin?" "Ang sakit mo naman magsalita Johnmar Villaluna! Oo na, sorry na. Di ko siya napansin. Di na mauulit." (Lord, bakit sa lahat ng tao sa mundo eto pa binigay niyong kasa-kasama ko. Unfair!) We finally reached the cafeteria and what do you expect? Yep, it's crowded. So we better find a sit or else we're going to leave this cafeteria with an empty stomach. "Ba't ba kasi ang daming tao?" Tori asked. "Malamang lunch ngayon, shunga." "Hanap muna ako ng mesa natin, ikaw na mag-order. My usual meal okay?" "Bayad mo muna, wag mo 'ko masabihan ng wala kang barya sasamain ka sakin." Iniabot ni Tori yung bayad saka na ako pumila. DJ's POV "F*ck, I can't stop thinking about it." Parang narinig ko na yung name somewhere, I just can't remember where. It's been a minutes since Villaluna left. Why did that guy called him Vee? Is that his name? Oh shoot-- I forgot to ask his name. Should I wait for the next subject or should I follow him to the cafeteria? "Grrrrrrrlkkkk----" right, I'm going to follow him since my stomach answered. As I arrived I already saw the two of them standing. I think they're arguing of something. While I'm observing I noticed that Villaluna have a really small face, his eyes are beautiful even though his wearing eyeglasses, pointy small nose-- dangg what a perfect face for a guy. Pumila na siya para mag order so I follow through. Johnmar's POV "These girls are getting in to my nerves, ang tagal mag order." Bakit ba kasi ako pa pumila dito e pwede namang ako nalang maghanap ng mauupuan. Hinanap ko si Tori and I saw him he's already sitting and here I am sweating like a sinner in church! "What's with the face?" "Pakelam mo b--" I turned around I saw a man that makes me wet-- I mean mad. "Hi." he politely replied. Suuuus! "Akala ko bang natutulog ka? Bakit ka nandito?" "Am I not allowed to eat? dagdag pa niya. "May sinabi ba akong hindi ka pwedeng kumain?" Kumukulo dugo ko dito please lang bilisan niyo umorder mga hipokrita! "Ganon din naman ibig sabihin nun, by the way why is it true that I'm handsome?" Nanigas ang buong katawan ko nang marinig ko sa kanya ang mga salitang yon. Pano niya nalaman? Is he awake that time? Lalong lumakas kabog ng dibdib ko na baka narinig niya rin yung tinawag sa akin nang kaibigan kong shunga. "Next in line please" I was so relieved nang marinig ko yung tindera, an excuse for me not to answer his stupid question. As long na hindi niya tinatanong di ako dapat kabahan. At bakit ako kakabahan? I'm the Queen. "Pork Sinigang with coca cola and sinigang na baboy with pineapple juice." "Pffft." rinig kong pigil niyang tawa sa likod. May sinabi ba akong nakakatawa? Iirapan ko na sana siya nang bigla siyang magsalita "What's the difference between pork and baboy? Are you dumb?" kita ko parin sa pagmumukha niya yung pigil niyang tawa. "What's so funny? And I'm not dumb! Pork is pata right!?" pagmamalaki ko pang sabi. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" His laugh covered the whole canteen, people are looking at us. God why!? "Lower down your voice! Am I wrong?" "Pork is also baboy and not pata Mr. Villaluna." "What!? All this time I'm ordering the same thing and no one corrected me!?" Jusko lupa kainin moko, I can't with this kahihiyan. "Well as you can see they seem afraid. Tignan mo yung tindera, nagpipigil din tawa pero di niya pinapahalata sayo." "I'm done! Ayoko na dito, Ate pakibilisan order ko please lang." pagmamaktol kong sabi. Basta ang alam ko pork is luto and baboy is buhay! That's it! "Here's your order, next in line please." Finally. I'm out of this sh*t. I'm about to leave when someone grabbed my arm-- "Can you wait for me? I haven't found a seat, mind if I join? pagpapacute niyang sabi. Isang araw palang niya dito pero dami ng eksena. "Fine, bilisan mo dyan nanlalaki na mata nung kasama ko sa gutom." "Okay thanks, just wait a minute." he smiled. After 143 years, he finally got his order. As we walked together to Tori's seat he asked me again. "Can I know what your name is? I've been talking to you but all I know is your surname." sabay kamot sa kanyang ulo. Oh shoot! I realized that hindi ko pa din alam pangalan niya hanggang ngayon. What a mess! "I'm Johnmar. Johnmar Villaluna." "Johnmar? But I heard your friend called you Vee, is that your nickname?" I paused. Once again I'm shocked and I don't know what to say. Nanlalamig ako kahit walang aircon dito sa canteen. f**k you Tori. This is all your fault! "Villalunaaaaa! Nandito ako, dalian mo maglakad nagugutom nako!" And there once again I was saved by the guy who also put me in this kind situation. "Oh is that your friend? Man he really have a big eyes." amazed niyang sabi. Baka Tori yan? Tori balagbag ka sakin mamaya. "Your name please?" I asked. Alangan siya lang diba? Di ko pa din alam pangalan niya. "Danerie James Del Rosario at your service." he also bowed at the same time, wow. "Ang haba naman ng pangalan mo wala bang i-iikli yan?" Kasya kaya sa one fourth yang name niya? "You can call me DJ if you want. Super iksi na yan baka magreklamo kapa." while sipping his apple juice. "Ang tagal ha, kanina pa ko natatakam sa mga kumakain dito-- Oh sino yang kasama mo?" Tori asked. "Dj meet Tori, Tori meet Dj." pagpapakilala ko sa kanila habang binibigay yung order niya. "Siya ba yung transfer student?" tanong ni Tori habang inaayos ang table namin. "Yes I am." DJ replied. "Ve-- I mean Villaluna tabi nalang kayo ni DJ since dyan nakapwesto yang dalawang upuan. Ayoko na din lumipat since kanina pa ko nakaupo dito." "Fine, as if may choice ako Tori ayoko naman mafeel yang pinag-initan ng pwet mo." I heard DJ laughed a little after hearing my reply to Tori. As you should be, I'm your happy pill. charet! As we were eating there were two men approaching our seat. They stopped in front of us and one of them approaced DJ who was now eating and spoke "Wise! Kamusta naman first day?" The word "Wise" echoed to my ear. My most hated name. Tinignan ko si Danerie upang makumpirma kung siya nga yung tinutukoy nila pwro patuloy pa din siyang kumakain at tila walang naririnig. Don't tell me siya yung pinag-uusapang rookie sa gaming community? Like what the fudge? And who are these guys? Do they know him? Well lalapitan ba siya kung hindi siya kilala? Bakit ko ba sinabi yon super obvious naman nung sagot. Am I really the Top Student? Lol. Muntik nang mabilaukan si Danerie dun sa paghampas nung naka salamin na guy. He looks like a nerd err-- "Dito ka pala nag-aaral?" tanong ni Danerie habang umiinom ng apple juice. "Obviously" tipid na sagot nung mukhang nerd. "Woaaah, what's with the cold treatment Edward? Sino nanakit sayo?" pangbibiro pa nito. "I just... dude! That Veenus is a God! I can't beat him! Nakailang laro ako pero kahit anong try ko hindi ko siya mahawakan. That guy is impossible sheesh." Oh so this guy was the one who invited me last night. He's good actually but I'm the best like girl I'm the Queen. "Thank you for the compliment nerdy guy. I appreciate it." I really want to say those words but I can't. I don't want to get recognized, I'm fine with this kind of set-up. Well at least my schoolmates doesn't know that I'm a lazy ass person at home. Except for this guy in front of me who is now busy eating his lunch. Mabilaukan ka sana. "Btw, Ed this is Johnmar and Tori. Johnmar is my classmate and that's Tori." "Johnmar this is Edward Dapadap and that's Kiel Soriano." sabay turo dun sa may likuran ni Edward. "Sad to say but they are my childhood friends." DJ sarcastically said. "Hi, nice to meet you." I waved and smiled at them. "Can I call you Ed? Your name is too long for me." I asked. Bongga! May pa childhood friends koya niyo Danerie. "That's fine with me." he said while smiling. "Eh bakit nung ako? Mahaba din naman pangalan ko pero hindi mo ko binigyan ng nickname. Ako pa nagsabi ng nickname ko" biglang sabi ni Danerie ng pumayag si Ed. Anong arte nanaman to? "Why would I? Your name is cute, ayoko ng DJ." I honestly said. Bakit? Totoo naman ah, he's name is unique. "Really? You think I'm cute?" tuwang sabi niya. "Correction, it's your name and not you. Wag kang feeling." and then he pouted like a child. Sheeesh! Goodness gracious! Now that's cute. Fuuuuuuuuuudge. "You're the Top Student right? Lagi kang ginagawang example ng Proffesor namin, gayahin ka lang daw namin hindi puro games ang nasa isip." biglang sabi ni Ed. Nasamid si Tori sa iniinom niya pineapple juice nang marinig ang binitawang salita ni Ed. Don't be so obvious you little piece of sheet! "May tinik yata tong inumin ko, sorry." Anong klaseng excuse yan? Kelan pa nagkaroon ng tinik ang baboy? Jusko Tori bakit ka ganyan? Hindi naman ako kinulang sa pagpapaalala sayo na malak-- "Are you joking? Tatawa na ba kami?" tanong ni Ed kay Tori na ngayon ay nagpupunas dahil kumalat yung iniinom niya sa table namin. "Baka nakakalimutan niyong nandito ako." sabi nung nasa likod ni Edward. Well I also forgot that you're there. Like legit. "Sheeesh, try mo kayang makipag-usap sa iba hindi yung nasa sulok ka lang. Kala mo naman kakainin ka pag nagsalita ka." sabi ni Ed habang pasimpleng kumukuha sa pagkain ni Danerie. "Ano kasi..." while looking down. "Oh wag kang magreklamo." sagot naman ni Ed. This guys are something. I can feel it. "Why don't you sit with us, kanina pa kayo nakatayo dyan." mukha silang ewan, kanina pa sila pinagtitinginan except for the fact that they're good looking. "Grabe akala ko di niyo na kami aayaing umupo, kanina pa ko nangangalay." Edward and Kiel sat down besides Danerie, I mean bakit hindi sila tumabi kay Danerie? Daming issue. Danerie approached me while Tori and Edward is talking. "How 'bout you? What should I call you? Johnmar is too formal for me." Wow, anong meron? Kinakaibigan ba 'ko nito? You can call me baby err-- I whispered as I looked away. Di pwedeng dire-diretcho lang mga mars. Need mo din kasiyahan. Charot! "Ha? Did you say something? "Johnmar is fine with me." Baka madulas pa ako masabi ko Venus. Malalagutan talaga tayo ng hininga mga mare. "Well it's not fine with me, I'm going to call you Vee. I got it from your surname, Villaluna. Sounds good right? Well those guys wouldn't call me Wise if I'm not wise hahaha." he proudly said habang ako nakangiwi sa sinabi niya. Muntik ng lumuwa yung puso ko nung marinig ko yung Vee, even Tori looked at me after hearing what Danerie said. Pero ang witty niya dun sa part na V for Villaluna. Pasok ka na sa grandfinals Danerie! "Okay, kung saan ka masaya." "Mamsh, una na ako, late nako para sa next subject ko. Nice meeting you guys. I had fun!" I waved and watched Tori as he walked away, heading to his classroom. Intrimitida, mangbuburaot ka lang sa mga classmates mo. I already finished my lunch and packed my things, malapit na din magstart next subject namin ayoko ma late. Busy tong tatlo sa mga phones nila and I think they're playing games. Sana all! I can't show my game interest here at school. I leaned on the table and asked them "Busy ah, wala ba kayong class na dapat puntahan?" Parang wala silang naririnig at tuloy parin sa pagpindot sa kanilang mga cellphones. So sinilip ko kung ano nilalaro nila. So they're playing Perfect World huh. For you information Perfect World is one of my favorite gamesssssss. Yes, with a lot of s kasi I play a lot of gamessssss. The easiest way to increase your level is to complete quests. Other methods to level up is to complete a specific challenge and dungeons. Challenges has Phoenix, Phoenix Creek, Vale, Monster m******e etc. I'm a vulpine btw, I'm the best wizard in dungeons (flips hair). I'm on my max level so I can't gain exp anymore but I'm gainig spirit points. Lowkey flex, you know what it is! So Danerie uses archer, he's good at gaining exp's. I can't see those two what they're using since they are on the other side of the table. Tinapik ko braso ni Ed, talagang hindi nila ako narinig kanina akala yata nila hanggang mamaya may free time. "Wala ba kayong klase ngayon?" sabi ko nung lumingon siya. Finally! Edward looked at his watch and got shocked kasi mag 20 minutes na silang late . "Kiel ba't di mo pinaalala? Lagot nanaman tayo kay Mrs. Sanchez!!" "Bakit parang kasalanan ko? Ikaw tong busy, kanina pa kita sinasabihan di ka nakikinig kung di ka inapproach ni Johnmar di ka lilingon!" pasigaw na sabi ni Kiel. I told you this guys are something. "Alis na kami guys, baka mas lalong magalit prof namin pag nagtagal pa kami, to kasing si Kiel, bye!" sabay hila niya kay Kiel. "We should go too, start na nyan next subject natin." I looked at Danerie who is now standing carrying my bag. Wait-- "At bakit nasayo yang bag ko aber?" pang iirap ko. "As you can see, wala akong dalang bag. I just want to experience having a bag at school." "Give me back my bag, I can carry that. Di ako baldado." "I can carry it also, why wouldn't you let me?" he said while pouting. "Magtigil, amin na nga kase." pagpipilit ko pa sa kanya eh sakin bag yun, gawin mo yan pag boyfriend na kita. Charet! "Damot." sabay abot sa bag ko. "Tara na, magsisimula na next subject." Tumayo na din ako para lumabas ng canteen. Ayoko din malate ang terror pa naman ng Prof namin ngayon. Jusko! Ang daming kaganapan ngayon araw di ko keri, kaloka!
