PAHINA 7 

*** 

Biglang nasitilian ang mga babaeng kakalase ko sa sinabi ni Sir, while I - stayed quiet feeling a little worry. I rubbed my cold palms together. Gosh, sana hindi niya ako maalala. Posible naan yun di'ba?

"Girls! Quiet! Nasa kabilang room lang siya." saway ni Sir. Napakagat ako ng labi habang pinaglalaruan ang mga kamay ko. Kinalabit ako ni Carla. Her face says pure delightment while beaming at me. 

"Blue! Oh my gosh! Pupunta siya dito! Pupunta siya dito! Eeeehh!" tili ni Carla habang niyu-yugyog na naman ang balikat ko. 

I sighed. "Ano ba, Carla! Nahihilo ako." saway ko at tinanggal ang kamay niya. Nagpeace sign siya habang malaki ang ngisi. 

"Sorry, Blue." sabi niya sabay tawa pero inukutan ko lang naman siya ng mata. 

The whole room started was brimming with excitement talking about Mr. Marquez's visitation — while I appall the thought about seeing him again.

I hate it so much especially of what happened yesterday.

"Okay, class! They're coming. Behave." nagpapanick na sabi ng guro namin.

I rolled my eyes nang agad na nasitahimikan ang mga kaklase ko. I sighed deeply at pilit na pinakakalma ang kabog ng dibdib ko.

Relax, Blue. I'm sure he can't remember you anymore. 

Rinig ko ang papalapit na mga boses na nag-uusap mula sa labas. "And here is the senior class section A." kita kong pagkausap ng principal sa lalaking sa tabi niya. Napalunok ako at napatingin sa lalaki—it's him, it's really that man who took my first kiss.

"Hello, everyone, greet our visitor." masayang sabi ng principal sa'min. 

Sabay-sabay kaming nagsitayuan at bumati sa kanya. Ganito ito palagi, whenever may nagiging bisita ang school like the supervisors ay para kaming mga anghel kumilos. That's student life. 

"Good morning, Sir. " bati namin. 

Kita ko namang natuwa ang principal, maybe because we're behaving as what is descripted. Hindi ko napigilang mapa-iling sa isipan ko. Minsan kasi laging mainggay ang section namin.

Iginiya ng principal si Mr. Marquez. Then the same heavy brooding silence descended in the whole room. He's presence is too intimidating. My heart startes racing fast when he ambling like he owned the whole room. 

Hindi napigilang tingnan ang kabuuan niya. He is wearing a formal apparel that accentuate his broad and strong body. Nakasunod naman sa likod niya ang isang lalaking naka-formal at huling pumasok ang principal namin. 

Nakita ko ang paglibot ng tingin niya sa'min. Nainis naman ako nang makarinig ako ng hagikgikian mula sa mga classmates kong babae. Jesus, tuwang-tuwa pa. 

I shook my head and decided to stay quiet. Napayuko naman ako dahil sa takot na magkasalubong ang mga mata namin. I can't bear to stare at those brooding eyes. I felt goosebumps.

Tiningnan ko si Carla sa gilid ng paningin ko at kita ko ang pangingisay nito sa kilig. She's so antic about this and I can't help but feel jealous. Kung hindi sana dahil sa nangyari no'ng isang araw, wala sana akong mabigat na iniisip ngayon. 

My brow furrow nang napaligon siya sa'kin na nanlalaki ang mga mata. Nilapit niya ang mukha niya sakin at bumulong. 

"Blue, he's staring at this way." kinikilig niyang bulong at tumingin ulit sa harapan. ".. no- actually he's staring at you! Oh my god.." 

I didn't budge. I was frozen. No, it's impossible, I'm sure he don't remember me. He has to! 

I slowly raised my eyes and Carla was right. He really is staring at me. He was staring directly into my eyes. Again, my heart started beating faster.. rapidly.. wildly like it's about to pop out of my chest. 

I blinked quickly and remove my gaze at him. This can't be happening. 

He abstained his body from grabbing his little nymphet and kiss her luscious red lips and taste her ceaselessly. And he can't stop thinking about her! Damn that beauty for bewitching him! 

His eyes stayed on his girl the from the whole time he step inside the small classroom. He licked his lips subconsiously.. he can't wait to taste her.. devour her. 

He was taken back when his eyes met her beautiful emerald eyes. Damn, what a goddess.. Yes, look into my eyes darling, his thoughts chanted. 

Their eye contact was ephemeral when she looked away from his stares. Is my girl.. shy? He can't help but smirk, she's so innocent and I like innocent little girl. 

The hell I care if I sound a pevert pedophile right now. I want her! I want to own her innocence. Not even hell can stop me.

Dumilim ang tingin niya ng mapansin ang lalaking katabi nito. His palm fisted in anger. Damn, that girl is his and she shouldn't be sitting next to a boy. 

"Mr. Principal..." I called still giving a hard glare at the boy who's oblivious about me. 

Agad naman itong lumapit at ngumiti ng malapad. I can't help but cringed at him- if it wasn't for his baby girl.. he shouldn't be in here. 

"Would you mind... if they should change their sitting arrangement? It's kind of messy to look at.." I lied. 

His eyes widened and nodded his rapidly. "Of course, Sir, it's no problem. It's actually a brilliant idea!" 

I felt pleased about his response. "You! Stand up." I pointed to the bastard besides his baby girl. Damn this boy. 

"S-Sir?" it stuttered. What a androgynous person for a boy.

"Go and sit in the back!" he bellowed. 

He can't help it —he's territorial! No one should touch, look or should be with his baby—but him! 

Natigilan ito sandali at agad-agad na kinuha ang bag at umupo sa likuran. He smirked. Lumapit sa kanya ang principal. 

"That's all I want to arrange, Mr. Principal.. it's all good.." he said nonchalanly before the guy could say anything else. 

Nakita ko ang gulat at pagtataka sa tingin ng teacher nila. The hell I care. 

"Okay po, Sir.. should we proceed to the other rooms?" he suggested. Damn it, is he in a hurry? 

He didn't answer and looked over at his baby who is quietly sitting in her chair.

What a good little girl.

Then his eyes caught her red lips. He unconsciously licked his lips again when he remember those red lips being kissed by his own lips. He missed the taste of it.. it's so addicting! Damn it. 

"Sure.." I trailed off answering the principal. "I'm done here. I was just checking of what's mine." ngisi niya habang nakatitig sa baby niya na nakayuko. 

I smirked at the students. "Good day." he says to them and walk out of the room, but not before taking another look to his baby. 

You'll be mine, baby— soon. 

Mabilis na sumunod ang assistant niya. He snaps his finger at mabilis na lumapit ang kanyang assistant. 

"Sir." bati nito.

"Look out for her. Don't let any bastard go near her or you're fired." he sternly commanded his assistant. 

"Yes, Sir." he bowed in respect. 

"Good." he nodded as he went his way to his black ferrari. Soon my baby. I'm coming for you. 

Doon lang ako nakahinga ng maluwag. Sinapo ko ang dibdib ko dahil sa bilis ng kalabog nito simula nang makita niya ulit si Mr. Marquez. Darn, bakit ang lakas ng epekto ng presensya niya sa'kin? 

Umingay ulit ang buong classroom at nagsimula na namang magbulong-bulungan ang mga ito. 

"Blue! Ang hot niya! Ang hot niya! Ang hot hot hot niya talaga! Eeeh!" hysterical na sabi ni Carla.

I rolled my eyes at her. "Carla! Kumalma ka nga." saway ko.

"I can't best. I mean nakakatakot siya pero dumagdag yun sa hotness niya eeeeh! Tapos grabe makatitig sayo best! Tapos, tapos kyaa! Ang gwapo gwapo gwapo niya talaga." walang awat nitong sabi. 

Ang daldal talaga! Sumandal ako sa upuan ko and sighed crossing my arms. Yeah, he's a good-looking for a thirty year old man. 

"Pero, did you saw how he stared at you, best? Like, haler, para kang kakainin. Yikes." ani Carla. 

"What?" 

"Like, hello?! Nakakatitig kaya siya sa'yo the whole time!" she rolled her eyes. 

"M-Maybe.. baka sa iba.. kay Sharmaine."  tukoy ko sa kaklase kong babae na nasa likuran ko. 

"Hindi ah. Pero, whatever you say, Blue. Pero I feel may something talaga sa inyo ni Mr. Marquez." pinanliitan niya ako ng mata. 

Napalunok ako sa sinabi ni Carla. Damn, she's so very observant about it. Nakakainis. Wala namang namamagitan sa'min ni Mr. Marquez eh. Except,  kinuha lang naman niya ang first kiss ko.
