Chapter Four

Kiss And Run

Natapos na ang discussion sa subject namin na iyon. Nauna ng umalis ang professor pagkatapos nagsipag labasan na din ang karamihan sa kapwa ko estudyante. Pero may iilang natirang tao roon.. iyon ay yung guy na nakakita sa'kin kanina na pumuslit, kasama niya din ang group of friends niya. I didn't mind them though, kasi mas pinagtuunan ko ng pansin ang girls na nagpaiwan din dun.. pinapatay kasi ako ng tingin nila at nagbubulungan din..

Shit. For a moment I forgot that I'm popular and this guy beside me. Maybe they're already concluding something is up between me and Lincoln?

I rolled my eyes. Duh.

Napatingin ako kay Lincoln.. he is typing something in his phone so he's still sitting. I'm perfectly aware this guy has so many fangirls.

Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa mga fangirls ni Lincoln, tumayo ako, nag-crossed arms at pinagtaasan sila ng kilay in maldita way. Nang ginawa ko iyon, kaagad naman silang nasindak at nagsipag unahan pang lumabas.

Tch! I'm glad they knew where they stand. That's the power of beauty and money. Thankfully, I have both.

Napatingin ulit ako kay Lincoln, naabutan kong hindi na ito nakatingin sa phone niya, kun'di sa mga lalaking naroon. Naagaw din nila ang atensiyon ko dahil nagsisipag tulakan ang mga ito..?

Oh boy.. I knew this!

They act now like the girls on the library. obviously, the group of friends pestering their friend who had a crush (on me) to make a move. What is this? A dejavu? How cliché..

I rolled my eyes AGAIN. Honestly, I don't know how many times I rolled my eyes. So many happens in one day, huh?

I looked at them boredly. The guy who saw me snicked-in, shyly approach me. Pinakatitigan ko siya..

Wait, I knew his name.. what is his name again? I think his name is Bradley or Brandon or Brian?...

Nevermind, I will call him whatever comes in my mind.

Napapakamot siya sa likod ng kanyang leeg. That's a cute gesture but it doesn't suit him because he has an average face. Maybe that's the reason why I don't bother remembering his name even though we're blockmates?

"I-I-I, Uhm.."I watched him as he struggle to say the word.

"I heard you're single now Isobel.. is.. is that true..?" After a minute, he finally said it in hopeful voice.

I knew it.

I sighed.

I have the gut already that sooner or later someone will ask me that questions the moment I step my foot out of the room where I broke up with Nigel.

Of course, I'm used to it, so I'm not shocked. News of me dating and breaking up with different guys spread faster than the superhero you knew.

I was about to shatter -- this whatever the name of this guy's -- hope when suddenly Lincoln interrupt me by saying this.. "Nope. She's not."

We all immediately turned our heads to him the moment he said that. My jaw dropped as to the way he's so calm saying that!

What does he mean by that?!

Hinuli ko ang tingin ni Lincoln pero deretcho lang itong nakatingin sa lalaking nasa harap ko. Ibinalik ko tuloy ulit ang tingin ko sa mga lalaki. The other two guys are whispering something with each other. This guy infront of me has this confused face.
