Chapter Six
"When I Say "Run""
Dani Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View


"Uy!" He yelled at me. "I was just trying to befriend you." Napalingon ako sa kaniya.

"Find someone else to humor out." I retorted then I continued walking, agad namang lumapit sa akin ang escort ko at sinamahan ako pabalik sa canteen.

"Hey Dani!" He called out. The guy kept on chasing after me at sakto namang lumabas si Theo mula sa canteen. Nakakunot noo itong nakatingin sa amin at sa lalaking sumusunod sa akin. He stared at me then shifted his gaze at the guy behind me.

He went closer to me atsaka tumayo sa likod ko and he pushed me to proceed from walking. "Don't mind that idiot." Paalala nito sa akin. "Just walk." Sumunod naman ako atsaka bumalik na kami sa classroom.

...

"How'd you meet Eric?" Asked Theo when we were inside the car.

"Uh, sa banyo?" Sagot ko sa kaniya while I was busy reading sa iPad ko. Theo's eyes begun to widen and his brows started flinching involuntarily, umusod ito malapit sa akin para tanungin ako. He even scrutinised me and touched my hands and tried to examine me. "What?" I yelled out to him. This is getting awkward.

"Did he touch you? Did he do something to you?" Natatarantang tanong nito sa akin. He was holding my arm and was still examining me.

"W-what do you mean?" Nagtataka kong tanong sa kaniya. I pulled my hands away from him kasi he's making me feel uneasy.

He must had realised what he just did. "Next time when you go pee ask me to come with you." He ordered and he looked at me seriously.

"Parang wala na akong privacy nun." I scoffed at him.

"I don't want him to do anything with you. He's a cranker." Maktol nito sa akin, he was looking at the window. Kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya.

"I told him to avoid me, one word is enough naman siguro." I assured him at binaling ang atensyon ko sa pagbabasa.

But I was wrong.

The next day, he approached me. Eric was in his P.E. Uniform tapos may dala-dala itong rosas.

I stopped walking when he was already in front of me. To tell you honestly, Eric Villanueva looks like a good guy, matangkad siya, his hair is chestnut brown at malinis na klaseng tao kahit medyo magulo ang buhok, or he just don't like styling it, he's also clean shaven at maganda ang pagkakahugis ng kaniyang kilay at katangosan ng kaniyang ilong, his lips are luscious too. But I shouldn't be deceived with all this features he has. Diba looks can be deceiving?

At isa pa, I can sense how Theo loathe this guy and I wonder why.

"I have flowers for you." Bigay nito sa akin, na tiningnan ko lang at hindi ko tinanggap. Napatingin naman si Theo sa kaniya at binawi ang bulaklak na ibibigay sa akin ni Eric.

"Eric. Can you stop fooling around?" Utos nito sa kaniya. Eric just smirked at him. "Ayaw sayo ni Dani." He added. "And don't even try flirting with him."

"Her." He corrected.

"Him."

"May class pa tayo." Paalala ko kay Theo, who was about to ball his hand into a fist. Hinawakan ko na mismo ang kamay nito para 'di na niya maikuyom at nagsimula na kaming maglakad.
