CHAPTER 2

Ken's P.O.V

Now let's prepare to go to school, it is a new beginning for me. No, it's not a new beginning, it is rewriting my future. The future that Lister isn't part of my life anymore because I will do all the possible things to get rid Lister out of my life.

*At the school...*

Oh! My! Ken, you look great, did something good happen to you?

No, Kath, nothing special. Ahm-... let's just say that I woke up from a beautiful dream.

Oh, Ken, by the way, are you going to meet Lister after lunch?

No, Kath, I just realized that Lister wouldn't be better for me, I guess. So, I'd rather not meet him.

Why a sudden change, Ken, is there any problem? I thought you liked Lister.

Sorry, but I don't like him. Yes, he is a tall and good-looking man, but I don't have any a single feeling for him, it's just my impulsiveness.

But Ken, what would Lister think if you didn't come to meet him? Also, what if Lister is different from other men, and he might be your destiny?

There is no such destiny that exists in this world, Kath all men are the same. The only difference between them is how and in what way they would hurt you soon.

Oh my, gush Ken. Wait, do you have a fever or any illness?

Kath put his hand on Ken's forehead as if he has a fever.

Of course, I don't have. Let's just say that people changed when they become mature.

I'm so proud of you Ken, you're not marupok na...

I'm not marupok sadyang mapagmahal lang talaga ako-... HAHAHAHA just kidding... anyway after lunch let's have some fun and afterward, we can go to the library.

Sure, but how about meeting Lister? Are sure that you're not going to meet him or even glance at him?

Yeah, I am sure of it. Plus, I don't want to see his face, it makes me disgusted.

After we talk about the plan that we made, Kath and walk peacefully to our class. Kath and I are BS Business Administration students, while Lister is a BS Engineering. Lister is a basketball club member as well as a member of the dance club on our campus. He was a campus crush and a lot of girls are admiring him, well with the phrase "campus crush" it gives me the thought of being a playboy. Anyway, it was not my business back then I had a crush on him, but it's just part of my past. Our building isn't quite far from the engineering building, so I was hoping that I shouldn't encounter him. Once I see his face, it reminds me of all the things that he did in my present time.

*Lunchtime in the hallway...*

Kath and I walked to the crowd of other students; it was not a perfect time for me who hates the crowded place.

Wait Ken can we sit at that bench, it's not a good idea to pass through the crowd.

Yeah, that would be great.

While waiting to lessen the crowd Kath saw Lister walking toward them. However, she ignores it and acts like she didn't see Lister and continues having a chitchat with Ken.

*Lister arrival...*

Ken let's have lunch together.

Ken ignored Lister's invitation and acts like he didn't hear Lister and stands up from his seat and invites Kath to go to the school canteen immediately. While they were walking Lister is shocked by the act and the cold attitude that Ken did toward him.

Wow, Ken, it's unbelievable how could you act that way toward Lister a while ago. That was awesome, I thought you would act like a sweet like how you used to be.

Will Kath, you know I just learned that being sweet isn't good, a lot of people would be assumed that I am easy to get. I want to tell them that not all time they would get what they want.

Ay pak palaban yan, Ken parang may sapi ngayon. Parang hindi na ikaw yong Ken na kilala ko, yong marupok na Ken at madaling mapa-ibig at madaling mauto. Pasa ko na kaya sayo yong korona ng pagiging manhid, gusto mo?

Siraulo tara na nga sa canteen baka maubosan pa tayo ng pagkain.

*At the canteen...*

Kath ang dami namang tao mukang wala na tayo mauupuan-...

Ano kaba meron pa yan maghanap lang tayo... ayon sa bandang dulo doon tayo mukang wala namang nakaupo doon. Tara na baka maunahan pa tayo ng iba.

Kath was occupied first at the table, while I was about to place my food and other stuff there was a guy who snatch my chair. I know already know who is that guy yes, it's him no other than Lister.

Excuse me that was my chair and you that rule right first come, first served why did you do that? Could just move away and give back my chair Mr.....

Your chair? My name isn't Mr. I am Lister to inform you and sandali lang may pangalan mo bang nasakasulat sa upuan na'to? Wala naman ah, at hindi rin ako inform na may rule pala tayo dito sa canteen, sorry.

Yes, we have and now that you already know pakibalik na ng upuan ko Mr.....

Ayaw ko nga, but on one condition I will return the chair if you answer me honestly are you agree with that?

Hindi, at sino ka naman para sagutin ko ang tanong mo? Hindi ka naman judge or press para required akong sumagot...

Sige, sinabi mo yan bahala ka jan mangalay kakatayo... *slightly smirk*

Umalis kana nga jan Mr. and return my chair right now and pwede ka ng umalis sa harapan ko...

No, hindi ako aalis hanggat hindi ka pumapayag to my condition.

What a pain, fine I agree with your condition and akin na ang upuan ko, and you go now at tantanan mo na ako Mr...

Okay here's my question. Bakit mo tinanggihan yong invitation ko kanina and umalis ka na lang na para bang hindi moa ko narinig?

Ay sorry naman po Mr.... kung hindi kita narinig di sana pinatahimik mo yong ibang students kanina sa hallway ng narinig kita. Also, to remind lang Mr.... it's not my obligation na Samahan kitang kumain ng lunch mo. Nasagot ko na ang tanong mo Mr. pwede ka nang umalis syo syo syo alis.

Sorry, but my name is Lister, not Mister-...

Shhh umalis kana di ako interested na alamin ang name mo or yong ninuno mo. Ang saakin lang ay umalis kana bago pa kita hambalusin ng upuan ano...

Ken calm down and let's just eat our lunch, I think you already consume too much time arguing with him.

Ah-... sorry, paano ba naman ang kapal ng muka ng Lister na yan lakas ng amats daig pa ang may sayad sa utak...

Anyway, after this can, we go to the library kailangan ko kasi ng ibang references para sa report sa isang subject natin. Alam mo naman yong professor natin sa subjection na yong parang iwan daming kaartehan sa buhay, ang pangit naman magturo. Ay hindi pala yon nagtuturo tayo pala ang nagtuturo sa mga sarili natin kasi matatanda na raw tayo at kaya na natin mga buhay natin.

Ay sinabi mo pa tingnan mo ibabagsak ko talaga yon sa evaluation kasi deserve niya naman yon...
