CHAPTER 9. Affection
KHALI‘S POV
“You‘ve really never been here?” Kangaroo asked with raised brows.
“Yeah...” I answered.
“Maybe I should give you a tour in Marvel High...” he said. “Or call me when you need a guide.” he added with a smile.
Puro kasi sa caf at Octagon lang ako napupunta. Kadalasan sa back part lang ng Marvel High, malapit sa Sapph. Feeling ko kasi kapag lumayo ako dun maliligaw ako.
But since 5th year na kami, nalipat na kami ng building. Sa Tanzanite na kami, which is the building for 5th to 6th years.
Hindi naman malayo sa Sapph, pero mas malapit lang dito ‘yung iba‘t ibang kainan, café, and also the groceria—mini convenience store of Marvel High.
Kaya nga kapag gusto kong kumain ng desserts lumalabas pa ako...
Dito kami naka-upo sa labas ng Marvel High Café, nagmemeryenda. Nilibre kasi ni Kangaroo si Iron, as a gesture of apology. Since it was was partly our fault that he got into an accident last night.
I sighed. Ang init...
Occupied kasi lahat ng seat sa loob kung saan may aircon. Ang init tuloy. Parang ayaw ko nalang gumalaw.
Why is it getting hotter and hotter by the way? Hindi pa ba tapos ang summer dito? Ugh.
Mabuti nalang presko ang hangin kaya kinakaya ko pa. Pero minsan lang umiihip...
I slouched on the chair, feeling too sluggish...
Ugh... I hate this.
“Should I get another one?” tanong ni Kangaroo sa ‘kin nang mapansin niyang ubos na ang iniinom ko...
“Frappe nalang...” sabi ko.
Tumango siya tapos hinaplos ang buhok ko bago tumayo at pumasok sa loob para um-order.
“You really don‘t have to feel bad about it, Idol. I swear, I don‘t mind.” Iron said, once again.
“The King‘s paying, you don‘t have to feel bad about it, too. Just accept it.” buryo kong sagot.
My turn next time...
Bumalik si Kangaroo dala ang isang slice ng ice cream cake. Napaupo ako ng matuwid.
“While waiting for your drink...” he said.
“Maya na ‘yung bayad.” Bahagya itong natawa sa sinabi ko. Tawa ng walang balak maningil.
Hinubad ko muna ‘yung uniform ko, tutal may nakapaloob na t-shirt naman ako. Ugh. Because of my tattoo, I can‘t wear sleeveless or thin clothes in public...
Nakaramdam ako ng hangin sa kanan ko, pinapaypayan pala ako ni Kangaroo gamit ‘yung panyo niya...
“Akala ko ba hindi natuloy ‘yung away kagabi, bakit may damage ka?” tanong ni Iron.
Napansin niya yata ‘yung cut ni Kangaroo sa bibig...
“Nah... This one is a sign of affection...” Kangaroo glanced at me and smiled playfully.
Ulul...
“Lili... Should I... quit the Gangster Society?” he asked. He stared directly at my eyes while waiting for my answer.
I stared back at him. He looks serious about what he just said.
So, I punched him straight on the face. Baka sakaling matauhan siya...
