Three days before our Christmas break. Professors were shoving us reading assignments and portfolios to do during the break but the students were already in their vacation mode. Kaunti na lang din ang pumapasok dahil ang iba ay umuwi na sa kani-kanilang probinsya o kaya nag-out-of-the-country.
Dahil vacant period ko naman, pumunta ako sa library para tapusin na ang reading assignments. Ayokong isipin ang mga 'to sa break dahil panira ng bakasyon.
Pagpasok ko ay dumiretso ako sa usual place ko pero napahinto ako nang makita kong nakatayo sina Iñigo at Queenie malapit doon.
"Why are you here?" malamig na tanong ni Queenie.
"Queenie, please, let's talk," Iñigo pleaded.
"We're talking."
"Queenie . . ."
"Bumalik ka na ro'n sa Katrina mo."
Iñigo let out a heavy sigh. "We're just friends."
"She doesn't see you as a friend. 'Yan ang mali sa'yo, Iñigo. Because of your words and actions, people are misunderstanding your intentions."
"But I'm only looking at you," he said as he stared at Queenie affectionately.
What a loyal arse. Iñigo really fell head over heels with her.
"Really?" she asked with a sarcastic tone. "Is there any difference on how you treat me and other girls? Wala! You're too nice and too sweet that you don't even see you're crossing the borderline—!"
Queenie didn't finish what she wanted to say because Iñigo suddenly pulled her closer to him and shut her up using his lips.
"I don't kiss them," he said. "And in simpler terms, I don't love them."
Queenie just stared at him dumbfoundedly, still in shock by what he did. After a few seconds, her response was quite expected. She punched him in the chest but Iñigo just smiled.
"Kadiri ka," Queenie retorted but I could see her blushing from here.
I rolled my eyes after seeing their drama. Naglakad ako papunta sa kanila at pareho naman silang napatingin nang ibagsak ko ang bag ko sa upuan.
"Tapos na kayo? Then, shoo. You two are too cheesy that I'm getting goosebumps," sabi ko sabay upo ko sa kabilang upuan.
"You, witch," Queenie said and her whole face was burning red.
"Yes, bitch," I smirked.
"Oh, wow, are those your nickname to each other—" Iñigo tried asking but we both glared at him.
"No!" sabay naming sagot.
"Okay. Definitely not."
"You two are annoying," she remarked. Pagkatapos no'n ay kinuha niya ang bag niya sa table at saka nag-martsa palayo sa amin.
