San Vicente Series #1 : For a Reason

CHAPTER TWO

Cafeteria

Lunch time na ng matapos ang pangalawang klase ko at hindi ko na classmate si Zavier. Agad akong dumeretso sa cafeteria at umorder ng iced coffee habang naghahanap ng bakanteng upuan dahil marami na ding estudyante ang nag lalunch. Sa pangdalawahan na upuan lang ako umupo dahil ako lang naman mag isa. Nilapag ko ang gamit ko sa table at nilabas ang laptop para may pagkaabalahan ako ng makita ko si Zavier na pumasok sa cafeteria na mag isa. Agad siyang pinagtingginan ng mga estudyante at may mga babaeng tumitili pa ng bahagya na akala mo ngayon lang nakakita ng tao. Umorder siya ng burger at soda, lumingon siya banda sa gawi ko kaya nilipat ko agad ang tingin ko sa aking laptop. Hindi ko pala namamalayan na kanina ko pa siya tinititigan. Hay nako avia!!!!

"Can i sit here?" Someone said and when I look at him I was totally shocked who he is. It's no other than Zavier while watching my expression and waiting for my answer. I can't say anything because this is not what I expected on his attitude. He's more like a lonely boy who loves to be himself all the time and this attitude is new to me. Bago pa ako makapagsalita ay umupo na siya sa harap ko at nilapag sa table ang pagkain na dala niya. Agad ko namang inusog ang mga gamit ko dahil baka sabihin niya ay hindi ko siya binibigyan ng space.

"Can I ask you something?" I said.

"You're already asking." He said obviously irritated.

"Why did you sit on my table?" I asked confusingly.

"Why not? Is there something wrong? You didn't answer so I thought it's a yes." He said.

"No, I'm just shocked." I said then I shrugged to cool down my nervous heart.

Kumain lang siya at hindi na ako tinignan pang muli na parang may sariling mundo siyang ginagalawan. Zavier is my neighborhood since high school but we're not close because he's not friendly and definitely a homebody. His mom and my mom are bestfriends since highschool so basically they're accompanying each other for years. As the years pass by I can say that Zac is an introvert person and you can literally count on your hands the number of his friends. His family are rich and educated people. His mom Stella Diane Mendez is one of the famous Interior Designer all over the world because of her incredible works and ideas while his dad Casper Dawn Mendez is known as the beast prosecutor because he's different from inside and outside of the court. We're both only child and our family are really close to each other because of our mother.

"Is that your lunch?" He asked suprisingly.

I just nooded and didn't bother to look at him because I'm afraid that he can see my thoughts and nervous heart.

"Lunch is supposed to be heavy meals not a plain coffee. Hindi ka naman mabubusog nyan." He said while sipping on his soda.

"And when did you actually care about my lunch?" I said while closing my laptop to give him my full attention.

He stand up and pick his things while looking at me intently.

"Just now." He said then shove off the cafeteria.

I leaned on my chair and grip the hem of my skirt to release all the nervousness that I feel. My heart is beating so fast and my mind is unfilled of words. I don't know why I felt this kind of feelings. I would lie if I said that I don't have feelings for him anymore.

I pick my things and I went to my next class which is Physiology. When I enter the room I immediately sat at the end of the corner near in the windows which is my favorite spot. The teacher came in but there's nothing coming into my mind because of what happened in the cafeteria a while ago. Zac is really something that turn my mind and body to another version.

It's already 2'oclock in the afternoon when my class ended. I immediately went to parking lot to go home. But before I open my car door I felt a hand covering my eyes.

"Guess who?" A deep baritone voice filled my ears.

"Dick son." I chuckingly said.

" Avia! It's Dixon." He said being dismayed.

I turn around and place my right hand on his head to mess his hair.

"That's my nickname to you since Highschool." I proudly said. Eros Dixon Sullivan is my boy bestfriend. He's one of the famous student because he's part of the student council and part of the Dean's lister. He has a dark blonde wavy fringe hair, thick eyebrows, iris eyes, pointed nose and kissable lips.

"And I'm not comfortable sav so please stop calling me that or I'll make fun of you." He said.

I smirk. "As if I'm scared dick son." Kinindatan ko lang siya bago pumasok sa kotse ko at bumisina muna ako bago nagmaneho paalis.

When I got home there's no one in the house because I know that my parents are busy doing their work. I went to my room and change my clothes into dolphin shorts and oversized shirt. I heard a sound coming from my phone so I check it and there's an unread message.

From: Dick Son

You're so mean sav :(((

I smiled and replied.

To: Dick Son

Matagal na.

I drop my phone in my side tables and went to bed.

Ugh! First day is really boring until he said that suprisingly words to me.
