CHAPTER 2
1528 Words
"Huwag ka ngang assuming diyan!" Hinampas pa ako ni Vergeire at humalakhak pa.
Napasimangot ako at bahagyang sinabunutan ang naka-ponytail niyang buhok. "Nakita ko nga kasi! He's staring at me and when I looked back, he looked away!"
"Magbasa ka nalang diyan! Maya-maya ay may quiz si Prof," Vergeire tsked and shooked her head before focusing on the book she was reading.
Napairap ako at pinokus ang atensyon sa bintana habang ang mga daliri ay tumatapik sa aking baba. I sigh before getting my book and read. I can't even understand a word because damn! It's Math!
My mother said that I should take BS education major in mathematics. All of subject is fine but not math! But I can't do anything because they are my parents and I don't have any plan in my life. I just want pleasure and happiness!
"Ano ba itong finance na ito!?" Gigil kong paulit-ulit na binasa ang libro ngunit hindi ko talaga maintindihan kahit 'ni isa!
"Intindihin mo nalang. Wala kang magagawa," Vergeire interrupted my thoights and patted my shoulder.
I sigh before massaging my temple. How the hell they understand this?! Maski si Vergeire na katulad kong puro party ang alam ay nakakapasa tuwing may quiz dito pero ako ay hindi man lang maka-apat!
All of my classmate loves math but I don't!
"Good morning everyone!" Suddenly our prof voice made us stood up and greet her too.
"Hala ka! May quiz na naman iyan!" Pang-aasar na bulong sa akin ni Vergeire.
I glared at her before looking at our prof. But instead of announcing that we're having a quiz, she just stood there while smiling.
"I'm glad that you all loves math..." she trailed off.
And I totally disagree!
"I file a leave. In that case, a known engineer will replace me. I'm sure you all will learn more! Just wait for him, goodbye."
As soon she left, my classmates are gossiping about the "new" professor. I just rolled my eyes and bow my head to nap.
My whole conciousness is just starting to lose but someone tap my arms. I hissed and continue to sleep but the patting just won't stop!
"Ano ba ang kai-" My voice roared at the person infront of me but immediately stop talking when I saw who it was.
Damn, it's Kuenzier!
"Done napping?" His husky voice made me stunned for a second while staring at him.
"N-no!" I said and immediately regret it! I heard some of my classmate is laughing at me while I closed my eyes because of embarrassment!
"Is that so?" He smirk and put his hand inside his pocket. "Pumapasok ka ba sa ekwelahan para matulog?"
"S-sorry po," I murmured. I bow down my head because I can't even look at his intimidating eyes!
"If you're really listening to your past lessons, what is finance?" He raised his brows.
Umalis siya sa harapan ko at nagtungo sa harapan. Sinandal niya ang kaniyang katawan sa lamesa habang nakahalukipkip at nkatingin sa akin. I stood up and look at my feet.
I can feel my classmates stares at me but I just don't care! Gusto kong magpalamon ng buhay sa lupa dahil kahit anong paghahalungkat sa isip ko ay wala akong makuhang sagot! Definition lang, Tine!
"Sit down," Rinig ko ang diin sa boses niya kaya agad akong umupo.
Shit naman kasi eh! Bakit ba kasi kailangan aralin pa ang finance, secondary education lang naman ang kinuha kong course!
"Can anyone tell me what finance is?" Bumaling siya sa mga kaklase ko at agad na tumayo si Julianne.
I mentally rolled my eyes because of her flirty smile. She's smart but she's a flirt! Lagi niya akong tinatanong kung ilang lalaki ang nadali ko at kapag lumamang siya ay nagyayabang na siya! Parang tanga!
"Finance covers basic personal financial planning concepts and applications including cash flow, net worth, asset selection and purchase, income taxes, insurance, and consumer debt," she smiled with a flirt on it.
"I said the meaning not the courses," Kuenzier said.
If only I could answer what is it ay pinagtawanan ko na si Julianne. Embarrassed, she sat immediately.
"I would like to introduce my self first..." He trailed off and roamed his eyes around the room. "I'm Kuenzier Adecer. A engineer and business man. I want all of you to focus on you studies before flirting. Understood?" He said the "flirting" while looking at me.
I heard Vergeire chuckled and pinch my arms. "Don't flirt kasi. Aral muna bago landi," She said and chuckled.
Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at muling ibinalik ang tingin sa harapan. Nagsulat siya ng kung ano sa board. I want to focus on his handwriting because it's too neat but I can't help to stare at his biceps.
Damn, looks so delicious!
"Review the finance so when I ask, you have an answer," Anito.
"That's for today. Bukas nalang tayo maglesson. Matulog nalang kayo," Idiniin niya pa ang banggit sa "matulog" at bahagyang sumulyap sa akin.
Imbes na kiligin ay inis at pagkapahiya ang nararamdaman ko. How dare him! I glared at him and make sure he will see it and I succeed!
"Hoy gaga! Masyado kang pinapansin ni prof, diniligan ka ba no'n?" Siniko ako ni Vergeire at halos idikit na ang sarili sa upuan ko.
"How I wish! Nahuli ko nga lang nakatingin ay umiwas na!" Inis kong pinaglaruan ang ballpen na hawak ko. "Ang sungit naman pala niyon! Kala mo kung sinong gwapo!"
"Pero aminin! Nakakalaglag panty ang itsura ni prof!" Inalog alog pa ako ni Vergeire pero nawala sa kanya ang titig ko dahil nadatnan ko si Julianne na matalim ang tingin sa akin.
"Masyadong makati, pati prof nilalandi!" Anas nito at umirap pa. Akala mo bagay! Mukha naman siyang bangkay!
"Hindi ka pinansin? Nasaan ang talino mo?" I smirk at her and I saw how she's pissed by just that.
Padabog siyang tumayo at tinawag ang mga alipores niya. Nakamasid lang ako sa kanya at nang makalabas ay sabay kaming tumawa ni Vergeire.
"Hanggang kailan kaya ang leave ni Ma'am? Sana magtagal para ganahan akong mag-aral," I said and then pout.
"Para ganahan mag-aral o para matagal-tagal na panahon na pagnasahan siya? Jusko Tine! Galawan mo halata na!" She shooked her head and then pulled me outside the room.
"Saan tayo pupunta aber?" Tanong ko at patuloy na hinayaan siyang kaladkarin ako.
"Beh, wag ka masyadong magfocus kay Kuenzier, wala kang pag-asa doon! May bagong gym diyan sa kanto at balita ko laglag din panty mo sa may-ari!" Tumawa pa ito at bahagyang paulit-ulit na pinalo ang braso ko.
Agad akong pumalag sa pagkakahawak niya. Napatigil kami sa paglalakad dahil doon at taka siyang tumingin sa akin.
"Ayaw ko! Loyal ako sa crush ko!" I giggled.
"Gaga! Hindi ka ikakacrush-back niyon! Hanap ka nalang iba!" She glared at me but I just shrugged my shoulder.
"Bukas gym tayo!" Tangi kong nasabi at hinila siya pabalik sa loob. Nagtungo kami sa canteen at umupo sa kadalasan naming pwesto.
"Order mo ako ng coke tapos cheese," utos ko sa kanya at ibinigay ang pera ko. She glared at me but didn't say anything.
She stood up at pumila sa may counter para umorder. Nangalumbaba lang ako habang nakatingin kay Vergeire.
"Can I sit here?" Nabaling ang atensyon ko sa lalaking nasa harapan ko.
He's smiling while holding a tray with foods. I look around and saw that all of the table are occupied so I just nod at him. He smile widely and put his tray on the table and sat infront of me.
"Loyal daw sa crush pero may kausap agad!" Ang boses ni Vergeire ay umalingawngaw. Ang iba ay napalingon sa amin pero wala talagang pakielam si Vergeire!
"Gaga ka talaga! Ang lakas ng boses mo!" Saway ko at nagpapaumanhin na nilibot ang tingin.
"Hi! I'm Jazz Medina! Nakiupo lang ako dahil wala ng pwesto. Am I dusturbing you?" Jazz introduced his self to us and smile.
"No! Hayaan mo iyang babaeng iyan! Maingay bunganga niyan eh!" I laugh and then he laugh too while Vergeire glaring at us. "I'm Celestine and she's Vergeire."
"Nice to meet you!" Ngumiti ulit ito. I stare at him because of his positive vibes. Lagi siyang nakangiti at parang walang problema sa buhay.
Panigurado ay makakasundo namin siya! Me and Vergeire is happy go lucky and I'm sure Jazz will happily join us!
"And don't worry, I won't flirt with you or you...." He trailed off and shyly smile. "Parehas tayo ng hanap. Talong din.."
My mouth gap open before I clap my hands. "You should join us everytime! Saba'y tayong humanap ng lalandiin!"
"Ako lang samahan mo! Loyal iyan sa crush niya! Wala naman siyang pag-asa!" Kumapit si Vergeire sa braso ni Jazz at dinilaan ako.
"Gaga ka! Join naman ako! Saka na ako magiging loyal pala!" I chuckled.
"Lalandi din pala, aayaw ayaw pa kanina! Matutuyot ka niyan!" Vergeire tsked.
Tumawa kaming tatlo pero sabay silang napatigil habang kiming nakatingin sa likuran ko.
"Focus on studies, not on flirting..." I heard Kuenzier's voice and when I look at my back, he's already gone.
Narinig niya pa iyon? Damn!
