[Blake]

"Are you gay?"

When I heard him ask this, my heart begin to hammer wildly.

I am so dead!

"N-no, I am not a gay." I denied.

"If you're not, why are you stuttering?" He playfully asked while grinning.

My heart beats even faster, especially after seeing his expression.

Unlike what he is thinking, I'm not totally a gay. I am still in a confused-stage.

But if you're really confused Blake, that meant that you really aren't a straight guy.

"No, I am not a gay! What are you saying?" I spoke louder while trying not to stutter, to make sure that he won't realize a thing.

"Whoah! Whoah! Just chill bro. I am just joking. Haha. I fooled you, ah!"

I sighed in relief after hearing him. He was just teasing me? Hopefully, he really doesn't suspect anything. This is too nerve-wracking and worrying.

"Have you been here for a long time?" he asked while putting on his shorts. He might just have finished taking a shower[i], since his hair is still wet, and a used-towel hangs in a chair.

"Yes," I answered before looking at the clock. "I think for about 3 hours."

After wearing his clothes, he approached the mirror and started to fix himself up. I just watch his every movement.

"Where are you from?" he continued asking me, while he combs his blond hair which fits his handsome and fair face.

"I am from Davao. I came here to study. It is because I got a scholars.h.i.+p at one of the universities here." I answered.

When he looked at me, I immediately saw his captivating[ii] and chocolate[iii] coloured eyes. "Wow? So that means you're smart?"

"It is not like that, I am just diligent in studying." I shyly answered.

"Well, there's no difference. Who would have thought that you'll come here in Manila to study instead of your place? You got a scholars.h.i.+p in one of the universities in here, that's amazing. And speaking of that, what university did you enroll into?"

I felt really overwhelmed because of his compliments.[iv]

"Thanks" I shyly said, before answering his questions.[v]

"Really!? You're really studying there? We are actually enrolled in the same school."

"Ah, eh. We are schoolmates, that's really pleasing to hear," I said while smiling. He also smiled.

"What course[vi] are you taking?" he asked before facing the mirror.

"BSBA[vii]," I answered while sitting on the bed.

I began to feel comfortable as the nervousness I felt starts to disappear. My heartbeat also starts to slow down.

He looked at me through the mirror's reflection.

"Oh! We're also in the same department. I also study BA[viii]. What's your major?"

"Marketing Management."

"Wow! Great! We are in the same department, course and even major. That's amazing!" He jollily said. I on the other hand just smiled.

"I think we'll get along well together," he told me before his attention went back to the mirror.

He is right (tl: Really? I wonder?). I also felt that we'll instantly get along well together. I can sense that he's really a good person.

   

TN:

Bold texts are already written in English in the Raw.

[i] the original word is "naligo" which can be directly translated to "took a bath" but I feel like “shower” is cooler, and in Phil. bathtubs and showers are rarely used.

[ii] “mapungay” – google translate it as either "Tender" or "Broken", and was told by NinjaGal, “there’s not really a super direct translation to mapungay but when its used with the eyes, you usually compare it to deep-set eyes? eyes that you can drown into. eyes that catches your attention” <- direct="" quote="" [so="" we="" decided="" that="" “captivating”="" is="" a="" better="" choice="" of="">

[iii] Could also be translated as "Brown"

[iv] Raw: "Na-overwhelmed tuloy ang atay at balun-balunan ko dahil sa pangpupuri niya." -> direct translation: My liver and gizzard were overwhelmed because of his compliments.

[v] The name of the University is omitted at the raw to the point that when I read the raw I thought [What? "Salamat" is the name of the University] then realized that it was omitted.

[vi] This meant a College Program or Degree Program, not the subject.

[vii] Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

[viii] BA = Business Administration
