Chasing Dos - Montecillo Series #3

[B3] Episode 33

🐱

ten years ago...

It has been a hectic first day of senior year for Dos. Hindi niya lubos akalain na uubusin ng freshmen orientation ang halos kalahating araw niya. Buti na lang at maluwag ang mga guro sa fourth year at hinayaan na lang muna silang magpahinga.

He chose to sleep underneath the bleachers next to the open field. Malayo kasi iyon sa magugulong estudyante kaya't nakasisiguro siyang walang gagambala sa kanyang pahinga doon. But he spoke too soon. Bigla na lamang may sumulpot na mga babae and they decided it was nice to talk loudly over him. Napamulat tuloy siya.

That was a wrong move. Marahan siyang napapikit muli dahil may nakita siyang hindi dapat makita.

Who doesn't wear cycling shorts under their skirt these days?!

Now he can no longer see watermelons the same way he did before.

"I can't believe we're sophies now!" one girl exclaimed. Her high-pitched voice rang inside his head. "It feels like it was just yesterday nung we entered high school. Ngayon, we're older na. Baka tomorrow we'll be in college already. Gosh! I don't know what course to pick pa."

Pinaglihi ba ito sa megaphone? Sobrang lakas ng boses eh ang lalapit lang naman ng kausap. Tss. Buti sana kung maayos magsalita. Typical spoiled rich brats.

"Masyado ka nanamang advance mag-isip, madam," ani naman ng isip. At least one of them had a decent brain attached to her body. "Chill your tits and just enjoy high school. Second year pa lang tayo. Excited ka masyado."

The girl's right, actually. Madami pa silang pagdadaanan bago grumaduate. Many stressful and sleepless nights. Hindi iyon ganon kadali.

"I'm just proving a point, babe. Ikaw yung mag-chill," the watermelon girl chuckled. "And yes, I will enjoy my high school years the best I can. Plus, I have a feeling that this year's gonna be great--"

Napamulat siya nang biglang may kung anong nabuhos sa kanya.

"Fuck!" he yelled in surprise. His uniform was now covered in what seems to be apple juice. Great. "Who did that?!"

He heard a soft gasp and footsteps down the bleachers. Maya-maya ay isang babae, with long black hair walked towards her. She had these pair of expressive cat-like eyes and puffy cheeks.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry--"

The girl stared at him like she was trying to recognize who he was. Her eyes even squinted and her mouth went agape. He clearly saw a soft shade of pink slightly forming on her cheeks.

She looks cute, I'll give her that.

Kung hindi siya nagkakamali, ito yung babaeng pakwan. He scoffed a bit. It seems like little Miss optimistic got too much excited.

"Tss."

He started to unbutton his shirt since her was drenched. Buti na lang at may T-shirt siya sa ilalim kaya't hindi niya kakailanganing manghiram ng damit ng iba. But the girl got unnecessarily embarrassed and immediately covered her eyes.

"W-What are you doing?!" the girl blurted out.

"Binasa mo yung uniform ko kaya tinatanggal ko lang," paliwanag niya dito. "If I had known that some brat would shower juice over me, hindi na sana ako naligo."

The girl apologized again. Hindi naman talaga siya galit dito but she did ruin his only time to rest.

"Then, magiingat ka sa susunod," aniya dito. "Ginambala mo pa yung tulog ko."
