Break time na namin.I sat down on a seat in the library. Okay! Aral na!
"Cyrah.. Asan na yung books?"
"Eto o."Pinatong niya ang isang dosenang libro. Ayos to ahh.. Balak pasabugin ulo ko?!
"Wait! Eto lahat?!" I asked. Unbelievable.
"Kaya sabi namin sayo.. Wag mo siyang subukan e.." sabi ni Cherry.
"Hay. Okay lang. Siguro naman nahihirapan din siya ngayon." sabi ko.
Pero umiling sila.
"Masyadong matalino si Julius.. Sa totoo lang, kayang kaya niyang talunin si Xavier kahit hindi niya pa pag aralan to e.." ani ni Cyrah.
"No WAYYYY.. Ano ba tong pinasok ko?" Napakamot ako sa ulo ko. Kulit ko kasi e.
"Sorry, karylle.." sabi ni Cherry.
"Bakit ka nag sosorry? Kasalanan ko to noh." sagot ko sabay ngiti. Totoo naman e. I believed in myself too much..
"Well, you should really study. Hindi natin alam kung anong mga bagay ang ipapagawa niya sayo." payo ni Cyrah.
Tumango ako."Okay. Okay. Sige. Bye bye!" I said.
They waved goodbye and left. Okay! Let's start!
--..--..--..--..
(JULIUS POV:)
"Bakit mo siya inalok sa ganung challenge?" tanong ni troy sakin.
Napangiti ako.
"Kasi ineteresado ako sakanya.. And she's involved with Xavier." I answered.
"Gagamitin mo siya?" tanong ni Klent.
"Of course not. That girl caught my attention with her own ability.. It's just that involved siya kay Xavier kaya mas exciting."
They looked confused. Alam ko na nagtataka sila, but that's the way it is.
"What're you planning?" Rashid asked.
"Wala.. Wala pa.." I answered.
"Kapag naririnig kitang nag sasabi ng ganyan, for sure may balak ka.." jin assured me.
I smirked.
"Actually, I convinced that girl to take the challenge because I'd like to order her around." I said.
"E paano kung hindi ka niya sundin?" Elden asked me.
I looked at him.
"Imposible.. A girl like her with determination and courage.."
Natawa si Jin, hindi ko alam kung bakit.
"Ano?"
"Natutuwa ako.. Kasi nahanap na ni Julius ang katapat niya.. The girl he will fall in love with."
Muntikan akong maduwal.
"Like that would even happen." I told him.
--..--..--..
I heard from her friends na pumunta pala siya sa library. Interesado akong makita kung kamusta naman ang ginagawa niya.I entered the library and approached her.. She was sleeping.
"Andali mo naman makatulog.. Uy, gising na. Umuwi na ang lahat.."
"Xavier.." She muttered.
Sleep-talking? At 'Xavier' pa ha?
"Gusto kita.. Xavier.."
Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. He fell in love with that punk? How annoying.
"HOY!!" I screamed in front of her ears. Nagising siya.
"EH?!" Kinamot kamot ang mata niya.
"Julius?"
"Paano mo ako matatalo kung mabilis kang mapagod..? Tsk. Tanggapin mo na, you'll LOSE."
Mukhang nabadtrip siya, pero she didn't say a thing. Tumalikod na lang ako at naglakad palayo, dun siya dumakdak.
"Well sorry for that,MR.NOT-SO-PERFECT-YET-ACTING-LIKE-ONE!She yelled.Tsk.
--..--..--..
KARYLLE'S POV:
[The next day]
Umupo ako sa upuan ko, pagod. Inaantok. Stressed out. Feel ko Malaki na eybags ko huhuness yawaka talaga julius!
"You look tired." si Cherry.
"I studied hard last night.. Tomorrow's the quiz kasi.."
"Meron pang oras.. Tumanggi ka na!" pilit ni Cyrah.
I knew they're worried about me.. Pero ayokong lunukin ang pride ko.
"NO WAY. Hinding hindi. Kasalanan ko naman to e. Wag na kayong mag alala.." I told them with a grin.
Hindi ko alam, na ang mga tenga nila Julius, gumagala pala.
"She's very composed." sabi ni Rashid.
"Type ni Julius." sagot ni troy.
"As if."
"Pustahan.. Magkakagusto si Julius sa kanya." pang aasar pa ni Jin.
He stared at him.
"Tama na ang pang huhula." sabi nanaman ni Julius.
"Sinong kasali?" alok ni Jin. Everyone raised their hands. That made Julius irritated.
"Pag narinig kayo ni karylle.. Patay kayo sakin."
"Hindi yan. Nakatingin siya sa labas. Hinahanap ata yung karibal mo." At nagtawanan sila.
It was true. I was searching for Xavier outside the window.Makita ko lang siya.. Kumpleto na araw ko! Pero dinig ko padin sila, sa lakas ba naman ng boses eh.
--..--..--..
May dala dala akong books, dami nga e. Haayy. Nang may nabangga ako.
"X-X-Xavier..!" Ayos! Tingnan mo nga naman ang swerte!
"Para san yan?"
"Mag aaral ako.. May deal kasi kami ni Julius."
"Why's that?" He asked.
"Mahabang story."
"So.. Mind if I try to help you?"
WAAHHH.. Swerte talaga! Kaya crush Kita eh!
"O-Of course not.."
He carried the books for me.
"Tara."
--..--..--..
Nagbabasa ako ng libro nun, napansin ko na nakatingin si Xavier sakin. Dammit. Nakakakilig!
"Karylle.." He muttered.
"A-Ano..?"
"Is there anything you hate about me?" Nagulat ako sa tanong niya. HATE? Sobranga WALA! I see him as a prince!
"Wala!.. I think you're amazing.. You are extremely perfect.." I blushed as I saw him smile.
"Natutuwa ako.."
"Gusto ko sana.. Maging katulad mo.. So that I could be a match for you.. Ah! Wag kang mag isip nang masama-"
"It's fine the way you are right now." He SUDDENLY said.Makalaglag panga. Ano RAW?
"Honestly.. I'm very attached to you.. I feel perfect and comfortable as long as you're with me.. It's strange pero sa tingin ko.."
Eto na. ETO NA!!
"May-"
"So this is STUDY?" The voice was from the most horrible person existing in this world.
KAINIS!!Lumitaw si Julius sa harapan namin. ARRGHHH. Bakit ba Kasi tuwing kilig moments na namin ni Xavier Jan ka pa lumilitaw???kainin ka sana Ng lupa kainis!!
"Nag aaral ako!" I told him. Kainis. Bitin!
Tumingin siya kay Xavier.
"You were just flirting with this guy all along." He said.
"Hindi noh! Bakit ka ba nandito? Are you stalking me?" I asked him.
"What? As if I would."
At nakipagbulyawan ako sakanya. I don't know what Xavier was thinking that time, but he was looking at Julius strangely.
--..--..--..--..
JULIUS POV:
I was sitting on my seat, strange. Hinihintay kong dumating ang babaeng yun. Ampf.
"Good morning." That voice, we all looked back.
"Mukhang nag aral mabuti ang kalaban mo, Julius." sabi ni klent.
"Oo nga.. Matatalo naman siya." dagdag ni Rashid.
Ewan ko ba, pero hindi ko napigilan ang sarili kong sumagot.
"Don't look down on her." I said.
The looked incredibly surprised.
"We don't know what that girl can actually do.." I said.
Napakibit balikat lang sila.Haayy nako.
--..--..--..--..-
KARYLLE'S POV:
I passed my paper. I'm confident with my answers. I'm sure I'll pass!Ngayon, kailangan ko lang mag thank you kay Xavier.. He did help me alot.
"After you finished your quiz, you may take your break. I'll announce the results later."Sabi ng teacher namin Ayos.
Lumabas agad ako ng room. Papuntang garden or cafeteria depende na kung San magandang tambayan. may matang nakatingin sakin that time.. Pero.. Dedma na lang. Di ko alam kung kanino yun, pero ramdam ko.
"Xavier!" I called him nang madaanan ko Ang classroom nila. nakatayo siya sa harapan ng classroom nila. Kakatapos lang din ata.
"Trisha.. Kamusta?"
"O-Okay lang.. Salamat pala sa tulong mo.. Salamat." I said.
"Don't mention it.." He smiled at me.
Pamatay!
Bumili muna kami sa cafeteria Ng pagkain namin then tumambay sa garden at nag usap for random stuffs lng, nagtatawanan din minsan at Ang gwapo nya pag ngumiti!! Goshhh hulog na hulog ma ata ako neto!!

"The results are on my hands."Sabi nung teacher
"Sabihin mo na nga." singit ni Jin.

"The student with scores of 59/60.. 59/60 at perfect score sa Home Eco.. Julius Medina."
Pinagbagsakan ako ng langit at lupa. 2 mistakes?! Hala! Tao ba siya?I did my best. I have no regrets.
"The second highest.. With scores of 55/60, 56/60 and 58/60.. Karylle Synx Castaline."
Nagulat ako. Matataas nga nakuha ko..Talo naman.
"Sayang.." sabi nila Cherry.
"Pero matataas ang nakuha mo."
The teacher exited the room.. Tumayo agad si Julius.
