All Of A Sudden (Tagalog)

CHAPTER 7

Benedict's POV

Nasa room kami right now, waiting for our next professor.

Habang nagdadaldalan sina Asher sa tabi ko, nag iisip naman ako ng plano kung paano ba mapa fall ang isang girl. I even searched for it in Google.

"Striving hard to win, huh?" bulong ni Cedric sa tabi ko.

I chuckled. "Yeah, cuz why not? That's 80k. I can buy a MacBook pro with that amount of money."

I don't know that much when it comes in dating. We don't do that.

I finally found the answer in Google. I was going to read it but our professor is already here.

"Good morning, class." she greeted us.

"Good morning, ma'am." we greeted her back.

I just took a screenshot on it and immediately put the phone in my pocket.

Umayos ako ng upo at nakinig na sa prof namin.

Xyna's POV

"Bago tayo mag dismiss, sasabihin ko muna ang mga kailangan nyong gawin para sa 1st activity nyo sakin." anunsyo ng prof namin. "Since our topic is all about communication and relationship, each of you will have your partner and go on a date."

"Seryoso po ba yan, ma'am?" tanong nung isang kaklase namin.

"Yes." pagsagot naman ni prof. "After you date, you'll write in a piece of paper the summary of what happened. Like, how is it communicating with your girlfriend or boyfriend? What did you feel while doing the activity? Something like that." dagdag paliwanag nya.

"Paano po namin malalaman kung sino po yung magiging partner namin?" tanong naman netong si Claire.

"You'll write your names on a small piece of paper and you'll pass it to the front. For the boys, you're gonna put your names here." turo nya sa left side ng teacher's table. "And for the girls, you'll put yours here." turo naman nya sa kabila. "Bubunot ako ng tig isang pangalan sa magkabilaan ko. Kung sino ang mga mabunot ko, sila ang magiging partner sa activity. Did you get it?" tanong nya.

"Yes, ma'am!" sagot naman namin.

"Okay. You can start writing your names now."

Nagsimula na kaming isulat ang mga pangalan namin sa isang maliit na papel at ipinasa sa harapan.

"Lord, sana po si Asher ang maging ka partner ko." panalangin naman netong si Claire sa tabi ko.

Natawa naman ako. "Seryoso kaba? Akala ko ba mga playboy sila?"

"Wala lang naman to no. For academic purposes lang naman. Tsaka gusto ko ma feel kung papaano ba maka date ang isa sa kanila." lumapit sya sakin at bumulong. "Crush ko din kasi si Asher ever since."

Nanlaki ang mata ko. "Talaga? Ikaw ah."

"Shh! Huwag ka maingay. Atin atin lang to." saway naman nya sakin.

"Loka haha." natatawang sabi ko naman sa kanya sabay tingin kay Asher.

Well, may itsura nga naman sya. No wonder bat naging crush sya ng pinsan ko.

"Are all your names here?" tanong ng prof namin.

"Yes, ma'am." sagot naman naming lahat.

"Okay. Bubunot nako ng mga pangalan. Focus kayo and pakinggan nyo ng mabuti kung sino ang magiging partner nyo para tuloy tuloy tayo."

Nagsimula ng magbunot ng mga pangalan ang prof namin kung sino ba ang magiging magpartner sa activity.

Nagsusulat ako ng kung anu ano sa notebook ko habang hinihintay na matawag ang pangalan namin ng partner ko.

"Princess Claire Punzalan and Asher Cabigting." anunsyo ng professor namin.

"Huy, partner kayo ng crush mo." bulong ko kay Claire.

"Yeah, I know. Huwag ka maingay dyan baka mahalata nila na kinikilig ako. Pinipigilan ko ang kilig, sis."

Natawa naman ako at inasar pa sya lalo. "Yiiieehh." sambit ko habang sinusundot sundot ang tagiliran nya.

"Xyna Shane Hipolito and Ezekiel Ayala."

Natigil ako sa pang aasar kay Claire nang marinig ko kung sino ang magiging partner ko. Seryoso ba? Di pa naman kami close. Ni hindi pa nga kami nag usap nyan e.

"Ohhhh. I was expecting na si Benedict ang magiging partner mo. But anyway, okay narin yan. Para magkausap kayo and para sa grades lang naman to." sambit ni Claire.

Tumingin naman ako sa kinauupuan ni Ezekiel nang makitang nakatingin na pala sya sakin. Nagkatitigan kami mula sa pwesto nya.

"Huy!" tawag sakin ni Claire at lumingon din kung san ba ako nakatingin. "Ay iba. Titigan yarn?" pang aasar nya sakin.

"Tse! Hindi no." natatawang sabi ko naman sa kanya.

Ano kayang mga mangyayari sa activity namin?

Benedict's POV

I was shocked when I heard their names.

What the actual fvck!? Like, really?

I immediately looked at Ezekiel to see his reaction and I saw him busy making an eye to eye contact with her.

It lasted a few minutes bago sila bumitaw sa pagtititigan nila.

"Hey, Ezi?" I called him. "Can we exchange partners? I wanna do this activity with Xyna."

"Ask our professor then." he said.

I immediately raised my hand to ask our professor about it.

"Yes, Mr. Castro?"

"Can we change our partners depending on who we want to do this activity with?" I asked her.

"Unfortunately, no. Kung sino ang mga partner nyo, sila ang magiging date nyo." she showed a piece of paper. "Plus, I have here the list of your names with your partner so ma checheck ko if nagpalit ba kayo ng partner or hindi."

"Okay, thanks po." I said to her and sadly look at Ezekiel.

"Sorry, bro. That's what our professor said." he casually said.

"Better luck next time, Benedict." pang aasar sakin ni Chester.

I chuckled. "Shut up."

They just laughed at me.

I just sighed and look at Xyna. Sayang.
