Best Part

Flirt

DAPHNE's POV

"Hi, Marcus Cian! Can I just call you Marcus na lang? Masyado kasing mahaba kung buong pangalan mo ang itatawag ko sa’yo."

Stracy flirty approached after coming over here at the back and smiled at the guy beside me. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Just call me Cian." The guy answered without even glancing at her side. My brow arched as I looked at him while trying to read what’s on his mind.

This guy is not up for flirting, huh?

That’s super noticeable with the way he ignored Stracy’s presence. Kahit naman asar ako sa kanya ay alam kong maganda rin s’ya. She can even get to date any guy she likes and her approach was kinda off because she needed to seduce them. Unlike me, guys were the ones who tried to woo me. Hindi ko na kailangang mang-akit para lang lapitan nila ako. And I personally think that doing that was kinda… pathetic.

Like eew! Why do I have to woo someone when I can date even those college guys in front of our school?

I crossed my arms while looking at Stracy, almost drooling over the guy beside!

Look at how cheap this girl is!

Wala pa kasi kaming teacher kaya eto s’ya at lumapit dito sa likod para kausapin- No, no.. Para makipag-flirt sa antipatikong transferee na 'to.

He did not even flinch even if he was fully aware that most of the eyes of our classmates are now focused on him! How arrogant! Feeling gwapo, eh?

"Excuse me, Daph. Can I sit here?" narinig kong tanong ni Stracy sa akin na halatang nagbabait-baitan lang. I arched my brow and tried to give her a menace look.

Uupo ka dito para ano? Para makipag landian na naman?

Ganyan naman ‘yang si Stracy eh! Kung ako ay nilalapitan ng mga lalaki, s’ya naman, trying hard para magpapansin sa mga lalaki. Tsk! Disgusting shiz!

I can’t stop thinking about her father. Masyadong mabait si Sir Jessie para maging Tatay n’ya!

I crossed my arms and smiled widely at her. "Nope." I answered. Nakita kong naningkit ang mga mata n’ya sa inis pero ngumiti pa rin s’ya. Isang sobrang plastik na ngiti.

"Please, Daph? Can't you see? Bored na bored na kasi si Cian dito dahil wala man lang s’yang makausap na may sense," she pleaded, emphasizing the word sense. Pekeng-peke din ang ngiting ibinibigay n’ya sa akin na mukhang pinipigilan lang na hindi mapikon sa akin. Lalong lumuwang ang ngiti ko sa kanya.

"Oh! Talking about sense, huh?” I sarcastically said and grinned. “Really, Strace? Coming from you?” I said, words are dripping with sarcasm. “Don't speak as if you're sensible enough to talk to. Para sa akin, mas may sense pang tumunganga kesa makipag-usap sayo." I added while yawning at her and resting my back at the chair.

I heard naughty laughs from the side and I’m pretty sure that it was from Phoebe and because of that, I find it so damn hard to hide my smirk. I will never trade my best friend with any other good people in this world. I can’t thank God enough for having a very supportive best friend!

"You, b!tch!" Hindi na nakapagtimpi na sabi ni Stracy at akmang sasampalin ako dahil sa pagkapikon pero agad na napigilan ni Nathan ang kamay n’ya. Umayos ako ng upo at pinanood sila sa harapan ko. I can even see in my peripheral vision that the transferee guy glanced at me. Well, of course! I didn’t give him the benefit of meeting his gaze! Hindi ko s’ya pinansin at tinuon lang ang pansin kina Stracy at Nathan sa harapan ko.

"Don't you dare slap her kung ayaw mong patulan na talaga kita," iritadong saway ni Nathan kay Stracy.

Cyrus Nathan is my friend at matagal na ring nagpaparamdam sa akin. Ayoko naman s’yang patulan dahil halos magkapitbahay lang kami n’yan. Malalagot ako kay Daddy kapag pinaglaruan ko ‘yan dahil kasundo n’ya ang halos lahat ng taga sa amin.

"Ugh! Bitawan mo nga ako, stup!d push over!" Mas iritadong singhal ni Stracy at pumiksi ito at tiningnan ako ng masama bago namumula ang mukha sa galit na bumalik sa upuan n’ya.

"Are you okay, Daph?" Nathan asked and I can see worried expressions in his handsome face. Gwapo naman sana s’ya. Ang kaso lang ay masyado s’yang mabait at halos sambahin na ako. Kaya alam kong kahit patulan ko s’ya ay hindi rin kami magtatagal. I always find thrill in every guy I date. Kapag wala ng thrill, sorry not sorry but I have to drop them like a hot potato.

"I’m good, Nathan. You don't have to do that, really. Kayang-kaya ko naman ang sarili ko," nakaismid na sabi ko sa kanya. Naiirita na rin talaga ako sa kanya dahil palagi na lang s’yang ganyan. Ang bait-bait. Ayoko pa naman ng sobrang bait. Boring na masyado eh!

Magsasalita pa sana s’ya pero dumating na si Sir Marco. Napaayos ako bigla ng upo. At last! Magkakaroon na rin ng sense sa wakas ang araw na 'to!

“Good morning, class!” he greeted and we delightfully greeted him back. Nahuli ko pa ang paglingon ng anak n’ya sa akin kaya tinaasan ko lang s’ya ng kilay.

Nakatingin lang ako halos kay Sir Marco habang nagtuturo s’ya. He's my favorite teacher. Super bait at super galing n’ya kasing magturo. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit naiinis si Daddy sa kanya eh. Unang kita ko pa lang sa kanya, magaan na ang loob ko. But my Dad doesn’t feel the same. He always finds him annoying and uninteresting, which I couldn’t really understand.

Tinawag ni Sir Marco sina Cian at Stracy sa harap para magsolve ng isang problem sa trigonometry.

Tumaas ang kilay ko nang makita ko kung paano sinagot ni Cian ang problem.

I saw how Phoebe immediately looked at my side and gave me a knowing smile.

Of course, she knew how I usually solved mathematical problems like this. Usually kasi ay binabago-bago ko ang method para mas makahanap ng mas mabilis at mas madaling paraan para sagutin ang mga ‘yon.

At sa tingin ko… pareho kami ng strategy nitong si Cian. I pursed my lips and lips and leaned back to my chair while looking at his back.

Hmmm this guy is intriguing the hell out of me.

"Need help?" rinig kong tanong n’ya kay Stracy na halos wala pang nagalaw sa problem na nasa harapan. Ngumiti naman si Stracy ng pagka landi-landi at saka tumango. I crinkle my nose in annoyance.

Duh! Just try to study your darn lessons, you flirt!
