- IZZY's

Just like what Niki said last night, ipinaliwanag niya lahat ng mga hindi ko naiintindihan.

I can't help myself but stare at him while talking. Laki talaga ng pinagbago niya, mas lalong pumogi pero naging cold.

"Are you listening?" Natauhan ako sa sinabi niya. I looked away and cleared my throat.

"Uh, y-yeah.." Why the heck am I stuttering?

He leaned on the backrest of his chair. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me.

"I get it na pala.." I grabbed the pen and started solving the problem kahit wala naman talaga akong naintindihan.

"Paano ulit 'to? hehe." I asked at nagpeace sign.

"See? You didn't listen," He was about to stand up but I immediately held his hand. "What?" He sounds annoyed ulit.

I pouted, but he just raised a brow at me.

"I'm hungry.." Sabi ko.

"So?" Tinabig niya ang kamay ko na nakahawak sa kamay niya at tumama ito sa desk.

Saett. Hindi manlang siya nagsorry at tuloy-tuloy lang na naglakad palabas ng classroom.

Ako nalang mag-isa ang nandito sa room. Kaming dalawa lang ni Niki kanina kasi recess, everyone is at the canteen.

I checked my phone para tingnan kung nagmessage ba si Miyuki, hindi niya nanaman ako masasamahan sa canteen today.

Parang ayoko nalang tuloy magsnack, nakakawalang-gana, nawala ako sa mood.

Ilang minutes pa ang nakalipas at nakaramdam na ako ng gutom.. pero nakakatamad na lumabas, pipila pa sa canteen.

Ipinatong ko ang ulo ko sa mga braso ko sa mesa at pumikit. I was about to sleep when someone put something on my desk. I turn my head to see who it was.

It's Niki!

"Eat." Saad niya at umupo sa upuan niya. Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya, nagtataka kung bakit siya ganito. Alam mo 'yon? Magsusungit siya sayo tapos maya-maya babait din?

"I thought you're hungry? Bakit di ka pa kumakain?" He raised a brow again.

"Eh, ikaw? Kumain kana?" Tanong ko habang tinitingnan kung ano ang binili niya. He bought 1 hamburger, 1 slice of pizza, cookies, water and he even bought my favorite pocky.

Alam na alam niya pa rin ang mga paborito ko..

"I'm not hungry." Sabi niya at kinuha ang cellphone sa bulsa. Kahit kakasabi lang niya na hindi siya nagugutom, inalok ko pa rin siya.

"I said, I'm not hungry. It's yours," Pilit kong binibigay ang hamburger sa kanya pero tinatabig niya lang ang kamay ko gamit ang siko niya. "Kulit."

"Wag kang choosy, gugutumin ka rin mamaya at ayoko mangyari 'yon kaya kunin mo na. Di ko naman 'to mauubos eh, share tayo," He gave me a cold stare. Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay. "Huwag mo 'ko tingnan ng ganyan, Niki. Kapag ako mapuno, masasapak talaga kita."

He grabbed the hamburger from my hand aggressively. I smiled and put the bottled water on his desk.

He took a bite of the hamburger and glared at me.

"Happy?"
