Cloudy
Sa tingin ko ay narinig ko na ang pangalan na tinawag ni Kaylinn sa kausap ni Reann. Kung tama ang alaala ko, he's that SDLU guy she's fawning over. He's tall with a prominent athletic body. Based on that, I thought that he really is the same basketball player they mentioned earlier.
Dangelo's description of him being an F boy is truly questionable. Not that I am all over the cover. I'm not a good judge, subalit para sa akin, hindi tama ang katawagang iyon sa kaniya.
He's more of an ice prince, his sweet facade is just a mask—an armor to hide his apathy towards anything.
Except Reann though.
"God! How come ngayon ko lang nalaman na close sila? I have never seen him speak with others like that."
I think what Linn meant by that is their proximity. I can see how focused he is while talking to Reann, his eyes never left her even when someone shouted to get his attention.
Tinanaw ko ito, looks like another Luzian. A table was occupied by more than five men. They're already chugging alcoholic drinks.
Yet the one who is the subject of his hard to catch affection wasn't even reciprocating it. Reann listened to him with a deadpan expression. The same face I encountered when she cornered me about my feelings towards Jamal. Nakakainis!
Whatever he's trying to make sense to her, I'm betting million bucks, she already heard it and is now tired of letting it inside her brain.
Isabel and Kaylinn didn't waste the chance to get close to him. They approached the sheltered corner of the pool where they stood.
"Uy, Reann!" Their eyes maliciously darted to him.
Tumiklop agad si Diarmuid. Hmm… Bagay sila. They're both weird and withdrawn.
Is what I thought but something in me emitted sparks of rage, and I have no idea what it is for.
I feel like throwing a hissy fit for unknown reasons. This suffering is familiar but nonetheless foreign. Hindi ko alam kung saan ko ibabaling ang biglang pag-iinit ng ulo ko.
So when Reann bestowed us with her regard, her dull eyes immediately showed feelings when it collided with my fiery ones. Mabilis naman akong umiwas ng tingin. Sudden waves of shame washed me. Inayos ko agad ang ekspresyon.
"Is he your friend? Pakilala mo naman kami!" walang-hiyang ani ni Kaylinn.
Siniksik ko ang sarili sa kanilang likod. I don't wanna be mistaken as one of his fangirls. Glad it kind of work, nag-uunahan na silang makipagkamay sa basketbolista.
"He's Diarmuid."
"Hi, Diarmuid!"
Tumango lamang ito nang maliit, ni hindi man lang dinapuan ng tingin ang mga nag-aabang na kamay ng aking mga kaibigan.
I'm so right.
Instead of shaking hands, he proceeded to pocket it. Supladong tumalikod pero nag-iwan muna ng huling pakiusap kay Reann bago dumalo sa mga naghihintay na kaibigan.
"Please reply to my texts, Direann." Hindi nakatakas sa aking tainga ang diin para sa dalawang unang salita.
Hindi ako sigurado kung totoo ba ang nakita ko o namalik-mata lang ako—I saw irritation surfaced in her face while her left fist balled.
Why is she angry?
I feel like we interrupted something big.
Laglag ang panga nina Sab at Linn. Halatang yumanig ang mga pananaw nila para sa lalaki. Ngunit nagulat na lang ako nang bigla silang bumunghalit sa kilig imbes na galit.
