Pretending with the Snob (Pyxis #1)

Chapter 25

Chapter 25 - Right Girl

"You're horrible." Tyler says, eyes and tone full of hatred.

I answer him with the same intensity, "You're horrible!"

Hindi ko maalala kung paano kami napunta ni Tyler sa ganitong sitwasyon. All I know is that I hate him so much right now, and I know too, that he feels the same.

Tumaas ang isag bahagi ng perpekto niyang bibig, "Why don't you come over here and say that to my face?"

Humakbang ako palapit pa sa kanya, "I am saying it to your face!"

Humakbang din siya palapit sa'kin, nang-aasar at pinangangalandakan ang height niya. "Say it closer in my face."

Muli akong humakbang, our faces are only inches apart now. Nakatingala ako sa kanya, habang siya ay nakayuko sa'kin. "How close to your face do you want me?!"

Using his thumb and forefinger, Tyler lifts my chin up kaya halos magdikit na ang mga labi namin. "Just lay it on my mouth, Granger."

The audience screams as the curtain closes.

Agad naman akong binitawan ni Tyler, umuusok ang ilong.

Sinugod ako ni Sam ng yakap, "Ang galing n'yong dalawa! My Dramione heart is so happy. Thank you."

I immediately hug her back. She looks genuinely happy. Minsan ko lang siyang makitang ganito. "You're welcome!"

Isa sa pakulo ng Wizard's Cafe ang pag-re-enact namin ng mga scenes from Harry Potter sa mini-stage sa loob ng room. But the scene that Tyler and I re-enacted was not really from the Harry Potter movies, but from its fanfiction called Amortentia. Sam's idea of course, dahil hardcore Dramione shipper pala siya.

Dinuro ni Tyler si Miles na ngiting-ngiting pumapalakpak. "I am not gonna fucking do this again Miley Jean or I'll fucking kill you," he gives Sam a death glare too, "With your vice president."

Sam ignores Tyler's glare, "Why not? You're a good actor. At mukhang na-enjoy mo naman."

Tumango si Miles, "As long as si Ali ang partner niya, hindi tatanggi 'yan."

Tyler (I kinda feel awkward to call him Orange since you know, he's blond now) rolls his pretty eyes at hinatak ako paalis ng room. Pati ako sinama sa pag-walk out niya. Nagpahatak naman ako, marupok tayo eh.

Charot! Walang marupok dito! Kaya naman nagpumiglas ako, "Huy, Orange. Saan mo ba ko dadalin?" I still want to call him Orange though, kahit hindi na orange ang buhok niya. Forever endearment ko na sa kanya 'yon!

Hindi siya nakasagot dahil sa pagbubulungan no'ng mga students from different schools aka, our customers.

"OMG! Are they a real couple?! They look so cute together!"

"Ang gwapo niyang Malfoy, my gosh!"

"Super gwapo bessy! Feeling ko model 'yan!"

Napaisip tuloy ako. "Model ka nga ba, Orange?"

Iling lang ang sinagot niya.

"Bakit? Pwede kang model!" He's just so effortlessly good looking. Kahit anong suot niya, bagay sa kanya. Kahit anong gawin niya, ang gwapo niya. Sana all.

"Not interested." walang ganang sagot niya.

Sabagay, okay na rin. Siguradong susungitan niya lang ang mga photographers niya. Malakas ang pakiramdam ko na marami nang nag-offer sa kanya mag-artista o mag-model, but he surely ignores and snobs them all. He's the most handsome man in the world, duh?
