C3 Student

"Andito ka ang pala," aniya ko ng mamataan si Magnus sa cafeteria.

"Let's go!" Hila ko sa kan'ya.

"W-wait what?"

"Wag kana mag tanong---" I continue to pull him.

My eyebrow raised when someone's interrupt. "Kinakausap ko pa siya. Kung gusto mo siya makausap m-mag intay ka."

Her thick round glasses seem familiar...

Siya ang babae bumangga sa akin kanina. Kita mo nga naman, sinasabi ng tama ako na kasapi ito ni Magnus.

The nerds.

"Why do I need to wait? Halata naman walang kwenta ang pinag uusapan niyo. Mine problem is more important than you."

"Hindi porket maganda at kilala ka dito sa campus ay pwede mo na kaming matahin---"

He cut her off when he tapped her.

Tinapunan ko ng tingin si Magnus.

"M-mamaya nalang tayo mag usap Aira."

Her shoulders slouch.

"T-tara na..." Hinayaan kong mauna mag lakad si Magnus.

I smirked at her, she avoided my eyes and stared at the ground.

I scanned her fully.

Akala mo naman kung sino ang babaeng ito. Naiiling akong tumalikod.

I left her with a smile on my face. Why does it feel like I won something?

Bwiset kasi ang babaeng yon! Atlis ngayon tumatak sa utak niyang walang tumatalo sa nag i-isang Celiza.

Dinala ko sa gym si Magnus, wala namang practice ang mga players kaya nakakapag usap kami ng maayos dito.

I sat down on the bleachers.

"A-ano bang sasabihin mo?"

Nanatili ang titig ko sa kan'ya. He looks decent even if he's a nerd.

"K-kamusta pala ang exam--" I cut him off.

"They want me to retake the exams."

"Why? M-mababa ba ang scores mo?" Nagtataka naman niyang tanong.

"No. In fact it's the opposite. Mataas ang scores ko kaya ipa-pa retake sa akin. Nakakapagtaka daw," naiinis kong saad.

Inayos nito ang kaniyang salamin, kasing kapal ng sa bwiset na babaeng iyon, parisukat nga lang ang hugis ng kan'ya.

"Malabo ba talaga ang mata mo? O porma lang yan?"

"M-may grado ito," aniya.

"I don't like glasses. Hadlang yan tuwing naghahalikan."

"Pero bagay naman sa iyo. Atlis ikaw kailangan mo talaga. Hindi katulad nung iba naporma lang kala mo ikinaganda nila. Tsk." Ismid ko.

He chuckled. He's white and perfect set of teeth gleamed.

Why do I find him cute while chuckling?

Siguro dahil sa magandang ngipin nito. He's fashion is out of style but he's teeth is perfect!

Pero paano nangyari yon? Hindi ba dapat pag nerd ay naka braces? O kakaalis lang ng kanya?

My eyes narrowed when he pressed his lips together.

Nevermind.

I looked away then sighed.

He sat beside me. Nanatili ang titig ko sa kan'ya.

Kahit ganito lang ang nerd na ito, hindi siya namomroblema sa grades katulad ko.

Yes he doesn't have a sense of fashion but he's smart. Onti nalang kaya ang matalino sa mundo, 'yung iba feeling lang.

"Buti kapa hindi mo pinoproblema ang grades. Samantalang ako eto mukhang nangangamba makagraduate, bakit naman kasi gano'n? Bakit pag nakakuha ng mataas na score pagdudahan. Hindi ba pwedeng mag aral lang?" mapait kong saad.

Ngayong nakaperfect na ako ay kinukwestiyon nila pati na ang pagbagsak ko ay kinukwestiyon parin nila!

Ano ba talaga?!

Bakit ang gulo ng nga utak nila?!

"If you're going to r-retake the exams. You should start studying right now." aniya.

"That's why I brought you here..." I paused and stood up, "Will you help me again Magnus?"

"I-i can't..." he looked away.

Nangunot ang noo ko. "What why?"

I can't believe this! Did he just?

Tinanggihan niya ba ako? Ang isang Celiza Carosca?

This nerd is something!

"I p-promise to help Aira on her projects after class." Bwiset! Paepal talaga 'yang babae na 'yan!

"Oh come on Magnus! Kaya niya na yon!"

"I need you," I said.

"I don't b-break promises."

"There's always a first time for everything."

"I can't."

I sighed. "If you help me I'll return the favor."

"I-i don't think you could help me in anythi---"

Bwiset naman ito! He's so full of himself.

Reality check!

He needs my fashion style and sense.

And he's probably a virgin...

"Do me a favor and I'll do you."

"W-what?"

My eyes stared at the thin lips.

"You haven't kissed someone have you?"

"B-bakit ba ito ang pinag uusapan natin?"

"You're a virgin," I said.

"There's n-nothing wrong with that."

"Yeah sure." I agreed.

"Pero hahayaan mo bang wala kang alam tungkol sa bagay na yon? I'm not saying you should lose your purity to someone but I would make a difference if your know how to make her happy."

"I-i don't---" I cut him off.

"I'll teach you how..." I paused, "for us to be even. You'll help me with school things and I'll help you how to---"

"I d-dont understand--"

"You'll need it in the future Magnus. Swerte ka nga dahil ako pa ang magtuturo sayo." I rested my hand in my hips.

He gulped.

"And don't tell me you're not doing yourself because I caught you." I smirked.

"Uh..." he stared at the ground.

"Let's call it a deal. Are you in Magnus?"

"T-tulungan kita pero kahit wag mo na ako turua---"

"Deal." I smirked and grabbed his hand then shook it.

"This time you'll be my student."
