WISH

BLAISE WAS FURIOUS.

After seeing me with Lincoln last night, I thought he was going to curse the crap out of Lincoln but instead, he stayed quiet.

I was trying to initiate a conversation with him last night but he didn't even spare me a glance. I even offered for me to sleep in his room but he didn't answer so I assumed that he didn't want to see me.

"So...he's galit?" asked Stephanie.

Nasa field kami ngayon nila Stephi. Yep, kasama sila Lincoln, Grayson, at Blaise. Unfortunately, first thing in the morning ay napagalitan kami ni Miss Crimson dahil hindi daw namin pina-carwash.

Kaya naman ngayon, imbes na lunch ang atupagin namin ay nililinis namin ang van. Students were looking in our way.

Genesis and Guinevere were supposed to be here pero may exam daw sila. Mga letche! Unfair!

"He is," I answered, taking a glance on Blaise. "He's not even talking to me,"

May hawak kaming dalawa ni Stephi ng hose meanwhile the boys are applying soap on the van.

"Poor Blaisey, he must be brokenhearted!" Stephi squealed. "I honestly like Blaise more than Link,"

That's because they've known him for years. "Eh 'di jowain mo,"

Pinalo ako ni Steph ng mahina, "No, I like Blaisey because you like him as well!"

I rolled my eyes on her, "You're being presumptuous. I don't,"

"Whatever," she said. "Have you kausap Linky about last night?"

Magsasalita sana ako kaso biglang sumulpot si Grayson sa harapan namin. Agad na napasimangot si Steph.

"Gosh, I hate your name! Leave me alone!" Stephanie squeaked, her eyebrows making a v-line.

"You're so mean," Grayson commented, "Listen, lady in pink. I think I'm interested on you. Do you feel overwhelmed because a handsome man like me is--"

Before Grayson could finish his sentence, Stephanie kicked his knee, making him wince in pain. Ginamit niya na naman ang 'agent' ability niya. Poor Gray.

"Look," she began. "I'm magkakagusto lang sa 'yo if your pangalan is pink, and that's not the case!"

This is starting to get annoying. "Tiffany, for the nth time, ituwid mo 'yang dila mo!"

Stephanie glared at me, "HOW THE HECK AM I GONNA TWERK MY DAMNED TONGUE!"

That's it.

I've reached my limit. Bahala na siya sa letche niyang dila. Pumunta ako sa direksyon ni Lincoln para hayaan sila mag-away doon.

Lincoln was sweating. Seryoso siyang nag-pupunas ng windshield. He's still wearing his round spectacles although there were visible cracks on it.

My cheeks heated up when I remembered our position last night. I think I'm responsible for breaking his eyeglasses since I was the one who threw it. In my defense, he also threw my beret!

"Hey," I decided to approach him. He looked shocked to see me standing in front of him, initiating the conversation.

"H-Hey, Gravity," he greeted back. Napatingin siya sa hawak ko na hose at walang tumutulo na tubig dito. "D-Do you need help?"

I tilted my head and assessed his face. His ears are red as heck. His lips are quivering. He can't look at me in the eye. Affirmative. He's shy!

"Can y-you stop staring? If you don't have anything else to say, leave. I'm busy," he told me. Kanina he's shy and now he's grumpy all of a sudden.
