Yonan Contio, pilato...
(Read Contio as Concho)
Pagkababa niya ng sasakyan, dumeretso ang mata niya sa akin and his gaze met mine.
He automatically smiled brightly and he said,
"Hi."
I blinked and stared at him blankly. I don't know what happened, but I was suddenly annoyed.
Maputi siya, matangos ang ilong, at singkit ang mga mata niya. His face is young and handsome? Nope. He looks a like delicate guy na parang hindi makabasag pinggan. I don't know but everytime I see him, his presence is always unsettling.
"Let me help you get them in the car."
He nicely offered. I cringed but I didn't let him see and I am not that unreasonable person to treat him rudely because I don't like him.
He's Yonan Contio, apo ni sir Elias Mikaelson sa unica hija niyang babae. That explains kung bakit iba ang apelyedo niya. Contio - another prominent family.
He's my schoolmate or more like a batchmate. Pareho kaming graduating student, Grade 12 STEM (Science and Technology of Engineering, and Mathematics) pero magkaiba ng section.
He is always in Science Section when we were in Junior High at ako regular section. He has been my schoolmate since Grade 7. We never talked or greet each other. I usually see him at school, but I don't know if he knows me, and yes, I USUALLY see him -- either he's on the stage talking or he's monitoring around the campus because he's the current Campus President.
"Besides, I think you're drunk too, you look dazed." He sounded like he was worried.
I think tumataas ang level of annoyance ko sa kanya habang nagsasalita siya. There something about this boy, his presence, his action, and his smiles.
He's usually calm, silent type of guy and he's like that, like he cares for everyone. He's too ideal and kind. He's too good to be true. Or maybe he just has that reputation to uphold? Like being a role model or something?
Lumakad siya papunta sa mga pinsan ko at tinulungang tumayo si Aniah papuntang sasakyan. Kaagad ko naman tinulungan si Nyllet na tatawa-tawa parin,
"Ey, pretty boy!" Sabay saludo kay Yonan.
"Hi, lasing na Nyllet." Tugon niya and yes, Yohan is more like pretty than handsome type of guy. They're classmates actually. We are all stuffed in sa backseat ng sasakyan na parang sardinas. It makes me more uncomfortable when Mr. Mikaelson started to talk.
"Ba't ang bata bata niyo pa marunong na kayong uminom, babae pa kayo." He said while concentrating his eyes on the road.
I frowned. I hate to discuss with the elders, so I usually shut my mouth not because I am the obedient kind, but because they won't really actually listen to you if you reason out. Some elders are like that they like being well-opinionated beings and some enjoys superiority but they are just ahead of time. Nauna lang silang ipinanganak ga'non? Nah, 'am being arrogant again.
I and my cousins are allowed to drink when we reach 18 years of age - the legal age. Open minded kase ang mga pamilya namin. They thought as to be responsible teenagers, mukha lang kaming mga pakawala pero mababait kami. Well, that's according to how I see us. Though we make sure na nagpaalam kami o magsabi sa aming mga magulang o guardian.
"You should be studying malapit na ang examinations, especially ikaw, Celes Real-" I cringed and almost flinched with the sound of my complete name.
"Matalino ka sana, but you don't focus well." Sabi pa niya.
See, elders typically talk that way. Na- kailangan pagmatalino ka, dapat masipag kang mag-aral. Tumingin naman si Yohan sa akin at ngumiti. Naka drugs ata to, naka high.
I enjoy my average life,Sir. Less responsibility, yeah, something like that.
"Elias, huwag mo na silang sermonan. Their parents will do the job 'pag nakauwi na sila, at they're not sober enough to listen anyway." Said Mrs. Mikaelson.
"By the way, I am Lorrain Mikaelson, I'm his wife" Sabay turo kay sir Elias.
I chuckled because this old woman is kinda cute. Unlike my grandmother.
"Ang ganda niyo po, Ma'am" I like her reasonings parang magkakasundo kami.
This time, Yohan looked at me, nakakunot ang mga kilay niya pero may naglalarong ngiti sa mga labi niya. Something is my stomach twitch. The more do something or anything, parang naiinis ako.
"You like her."
A statement. Yeah, I do pero tumahimik lang ako. He is quick wit..
"Hay, mga bata talaga, akala nila kaya na nila ang sarili nila. They think they'll already matured, independent, and invincible, but akala lang nila yun." Mr. Elias sighed.
I sighed too. Mr. Mikaelson, don't tell me about it. I know that.
Yohan suddenly laughed, at sinabing, ''Lolo, we're not invincible, we know that."
He really annoys me.
