She And Her Cold Heart (Syclups #1)

6

Rain's POV

               "Okay Designers, so for now, before we start.. I have two things to announce first.."

Our Senior said while roaming infront of us.
Kanina pa niya iyon ginagawa at balak atang hiluin kami.

Can't she behave her feet?

Tumahimik ang paligid at naghintay sa sasabihing announcement ng professor/senior.

I was busy examining my latest design when i suddenly heard my surname from our teacher's mouth. I felt their gazes turn into me which immediately made me irritated.

I slowly turn my head up and give her a casual look.

"Ms. Quenirry, please join me here"

Kahit na hindi ko alam kung bakit, tumayo nalang ako at naglakad papuntang harap.
I don't remember myself being involved in any mess, why am i called here?

"So fellow designers, let me introduce you.."
She stand beside me and tap my shoulder,

"Ms. Rain Quenirry, our team representative for upcoming Designing Contest!"

I was a bit surprised on what she said until everyone started clapping. Everyone was already cheering for me for that contest..

"Ma'am —"

"Ms. Quenirry, it's already settled. It's your time to show the real capability of our class.."

Wala na akonv nagawa at sinabi at napabuntong hininga nalang.

Hindi ko nga alam na may papalapit na competition pala, bakit biglang contestant na ako?

" And for the second and last announcement, let's welcome our friends to join us here.. "

Hindi pa ako nakaka alis sa harap nang sunod sunod na pumasok ang sa tingin ko'y nasa 16 katao sa classroom namin.

Everyone dropped their jaws when they saw a familiar guy walking in the last of the line. Kahit ako ay natigilan ng unti nang makita ko siya.

Siya na naman...

Pagkatapos ng kaunting katahimikan, bigla nalang napuno  ng malalakas na tili ang kwarto.

Malamang,

Andito lang naman kasi ang pinakamamahal nilang si Justin De Dios.

"Omyghad, tama ba ang nakikita ko? Justin?!"

"Omg, isang Syclups nasa room natin!"

"Napakagwapo talaga niya.."

I intentionally dropped my shoulder and quietly walked towards my seat. Nagtama pa saglit ang mga mata namin pero binigyan ko lang siya ng isang walang emosyon na tingin..

A look that i hope, can get rid of him.

"So let me explain, our Multimedia students here will soon have their project which is about designs and designers. Dean sent them here so they can be familiar of our environment. I hope we can work well together, and ladies.. Wag masyadong maglaway kay Mr. De Dios okay? "

Biro pa ng gurong nasa harap namin.

Great day.

First,
I was selected to be a representative in a contest i don't know.

Second,
I need to work with another one bunch of strangers.

Ok lang naman sana kung normal na mga Estudyante lang, pero knowing Justin.. He'll ruin every of my day..

Hell.

***

        I saw him put CokeInCan in my table as he sitted in front of me. Kinuha ko naman iyon at ibinaba sa lapag sabay balik sa ginagawa kong design.

"Inom ka muna.. Masyado ka kasing seryoso eh"

Tell me, anong konek nung sinabi niya?

Instead of wasting my time and saliva in order to respond him, i shut my own mouth up.

Hindi pa ito nakuntento at inilapit pa lalo ang mukha niya sa mukha. We have at least 5 inches distance from each other.

"Rain.. Bakit ang ganda mo?"

My body has no reaction on what he said which is normal for me. Muli ko siyang hindi pinansin at isinuot ang bagong headphone.

I put it on but i played no music.

He frowned while keep on staring at me..

His stare can indeed imitate a girl's tickles. His whole figure is shining and well defined. Nobody can deny it. But I'm sorry, i am really not interested, even a bit..

Buti nalang at kaming dalawa lang ang nasa classroom ngayon. Kung hindi, malamang ay bukas nasa headline na kami ng University newspaper.

Gusto ko sanang lumabas pero alam ko namang susunduan pa rin ako ng lalaking ito. Hindi din naman free si Rose ngayon.

"Rai—"

"quiet"
Medyo inis na sabi ko.

Recently, i noticed myself being easily annoyed when Justin's presence is just around me.
I want to stay still, i don't want to ruin my day just because i was annoyed by him.

I'm not affected.. I'm not..

"Gusto lan—"

"Justin De Dios, you're not introvert at all.. Bakit napaka daldal mo?"

Ayan na naman...
Sumabog na naman ako.
Hindi ko na naman napigilan ang sarili ko.

I already forbid myself saying a word infront of him because the more i talk to him, in rude or nice way, he'll get closer and closer to me.

Ngumuso naman siya sa sinabi ko at magpapaliwanag pa ata.
"You changed m—"

"Whatever"
I snapped and immediately stands up.
I was just about to walk away when someone suddenly entered the room while yelling my name..

Si Rose.

Hinihingal ito dahil sa pagtakbo at literal na napanganga nang makita ako kasama (na naman) ang lalakinh ito. Saglit pa itong natulala bago magsalita.

"N-nakakaisturbo ba ako? Ituloy niyo lang, oo.."

She's about to turn around and walk away.
"Rose, wait"

Naglakad ako palapit sa kanya sabay hila paalis.

We leave him behind.
