Unexpected roommate[EDITING]

24

I woke up extra early today for class, i just don't wanna be late. I got up and did my everyday routine. After i got out of the shower, i heard a notification ring on my phone. I grabbed my phone with my right hand while the other is drying my hair with a towel.

Vince: G'morning:) 

I smiled reading the message Vince sent. Binitawan ko ang hawak kong towel at nagmamadaling mag-isip kung anong ireply. Message sent!

 Alexis: goodmorningggg, papasok kaba ngayun?

It took a while for him to respond to my text but i was still holding my phone, waiting for him to reply. I sighed when he still haven't replied and left me on delivered. Mahina kong tinapon ang cellphone ko sa aking kama nang hindi pa siya nagreply ng ilang minuto. 

Later on, may kumatok sa apartment door ko. Kumunot ang noo ko at nagtataka kung sino iyon. Mahina kong binuksan ang pintuan para tignan kung sino iyon. 

"Vince!" Gulat na sigaw ko when i saw him standing infront of my door. "Anong kailangan mo?" I displayed an awkward smile.

"Let's go to school together." He said with shiny wide-awake eyes. 

Happiness streaked through me like a shooting star. Rinig ko nanaman kung paano tumibok ang puso ko. 

"Sure," I said while looking at him smiling at me. Napangiti na din ako nang ngumiti siya, his smile was charming and infectious.

Few weeks later...

It's been weeks since the day Vince asked me if he can court me. Everything was doing great than i expected it to be...he gives me a ride everyday to school; he fetches me when class ends. Pero kapag hinahatid niya ako ay bumababa agad ako few meters away from our school. Ayokong may makakita sa'min ni Vince na sabay pumapasok at sabay umu-uwi. I don't want rumors to fly around and haunt me, takot pa din ako sa i-isipin ng iba.

"Dito ka nanaman bababa?" He asked me while he's sitting on his car's driver's seat. "I can drive you all the way to the parking lot." He was looking at me sitting on the passenger seat. His eyes looked concerned and worried.

Sinuot ko ang aking back-pack at binuksan na ang pintuan ng sasakyan niya. I scanned my eyes everywhere, making sure na wala ng mga estudyante sa labas. Nang nakita kong pumasok na ang lahat ng studyante sa loob ng school ay nagmamadali akong lumabas sa sasakyan niya. Tiniming ko talaga na wala nang mga estudyante para walang makakitang lumabas ako sa sasakyan ni Vince.

"Alam mo naman kung anong mangyari kung may makakakita satin diba, tiyak na sasabihin nila na hindi kita deserve.." I pouted. 

His eyes changed, his face was replaced with a frown aswell. 

"Salamat pala sa hatid." I thanked him and smiled, to cheer him up.

"My pleasure," He smiled back while he's still sitting on the driver's seat. "I'll pick you up later."

"Salamat!" I shut the door of his car and watched him drive his way patungo sa loob ng school gate. 

Nagsimula na akong maglakad patungo sa  school gate habang dala-dala ang mabigat kong bag. I get so tired each step i take, hingal na hingal na ako when i reached the school's front gate.

Nanlambot na ang aking mga binti, hindi ko na kaya; i paused for a while, i bended my knees at hinawakan ko ito habang nakayuko. I tried catching up my breath.

"Putanginang bag toh, ang bigat!" Reklamo ko, habang nakahawak padin sa tuhod ko.

"Do you need help?" A girl's voice came out of nowhere.
