H: Chapter 7

— 07 —

"Am I really going to this?" I asked myself's reflection in the mirror I'm facing while fixing my uniform.

I'm hell nervous about this but I felt a bit of excitement while I planning.

"I think it's worth to try." After I ate breakfast, I gathered my things and decided to go.

I found myself sitting and waiting for someone in the shed infront of our school.

Halos hindi na ako makatulog kagabi dahil sa kaiisip. Kahit anong iwas ko 'don ay palaging 'yon lang ang laman ng utak ko. I spend all night thinking—more like overthinking.

Natatakot ako sa paraang hindi ko alam. Maybe natatakot ako masaktan? I don't know. Wala pa nga pero ito na 'yung iniisip ko. In the end, I made myself clear that I would give it a try. I like him too and that our feelings are mutual.

Once I saw Max getting out of the vehicle, I waved at him. His brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed like he's making a who-the-hell-is-that face. The moment he got near on the shed, a smile was replaced.

"Hi." I greeted. I could smell his scent because he's just infront of me. His scent is addictive! Ang bango!

"Hi." He greeted back. "Anong ginagawa mo dito? Ba't 'di ka pa pumasok?"

"I waited for you." I simply said and I saw how his eyes widen. "What?" I asked.

"H-Hinintay mo a-ako?" Nauutal niyang sabi at tumango lang ako. "Bakit?" Kumunot ang kanyang noo.

"Para sabay tayong pumasok sa school." Then I smiled at him. He still has that shocked expression on his face.

"S-Sabay?" Aniya.

"Hmmm." Ani ko sabay tango.

It's not like we never been together in enterinig the campus before . "So?" I raised a brow waiting for his reply.

"Hindi lang ako nakapaniwala na ikaw pa 'yung naghintay sa 'kin." My brows furrowed at what he said.

"Why? Lalake lang ba ang puwedeng gumawa nito kapag nililigawan ang babae?" Sabi ko.

"Hindi naman sa lalake-" He paused when he noticed it. Napatakip pa siya ng bibig gamit ang kamay and I just chuckled.

"P-Payag ka?" He asked with widen eyes.

"Na?" I played around.

"Na ligawan kita?" I slowly nodded and I was shocked when he hugged me. But as soon as he realize what he did, he pulled away and I felt myself blushing after.

"Sorry, happy lang." He smiled at me and later then, we decided to enter the campus.

Hinatid niya ako sa classroom ko bago pumunta sa kanya. I smied at him but before I could my back against him, he spoke.

"See you later, tangi." Aniya at nagulat ako. Napaligon naman ako sa mga taong nasa hallway at malaking pasasalamat ko ng hindi man nila narinig 'yon.

"Anong tangi ka d'yan." Sabi ko sa kanya na ngayon ay ngising-ngisi.

"What? Tangi na itawag ko sa'yo." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Bakit? Si DJ ka ba para tawagin akong tangi?" Sambit ko sa kanya at napanganga naman siya.

"Grabe ka ha! Nakakasakit naman 'yon pero aminado ako na hindi ako si DJ pero guwapo naman ako." He smirked. Ang kapal talaga!
