Chapter 4: Hand

I can't believe it. she fricking knows, Alam niya ung tungkol sa vbrtr ko, and worst, she has it.

I'm staring at her, my mind full of thoughts.

gago ka quinn anong kahihiyan ba to, juscorold

"QUINN, TARA NA!" Mila calls me from the living room.

I start walking, but I can't stop staring at her. I'm surprised, perplexed. My head turns to keep my eyes on her when passing the door.

She's staring back at me with that stupid smirk on her face. She only gives a little space for me to go through the door. I'm obliged to rub against her when I do. The sensation of her so close to me is alluring. The simple touch of my arm against her skin gives me goosebumps. I know he's playing with me, and well,

it's working...

I fell asleep with Maxine in my head. The images my brain creates are... disturbingly dirty. With her simple touch she has set me on fire.

And I wonder what would happen if we did more...

The alarm sounds again too soon. I woke up sweaty, not remembering what my dream was about. Hindi naman mainit ngayon, pero ung panaginip ko oo. And if I could continue guessing I would say Max has special participation in it.

On Tuesdays, I have an Introduction to engineering mechanics and Physics class in the morning. And Jeremy, my ex, is in both.

It will be the first time I'm going to see him since we broke up. I wont admit it, but it's the reason why I pay extra attention preparing myself this morning. It must be something related to pried and a need to do my best to make him regret it. I apply a bit of makeup, which I never do. Attempting to make my skin look healthy and hiding my light dark circles. I chose my clothes carefully. I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard, but to look hot. I go with a pair of skinny jeans and a white crop top that shows my shoulders.

I arrived at my class only one minute before it starts. I spent more time preparing myself than I'm used to. Jeremy is sitting on his usual table, on the back of the classroom, left side. The place we used to sit together.

I walk uncomfortably to the front of the class, being sure he sees me. But I don't acknowledge him, going directly to take a place. I avoid any eye contact, leaning against the back of the chair with my bruised ego. It doesn't matter I didn't love him anymore, my feelings were hurt when he broke up with me.

I greet Liam, one of my classmates, who is sitting close to me. He replies with a small smile, and then glances between me and Jeremy, wondering why we're not sitting together.

The class soon finished and I grab my things slowly not wanting to cross Jeremy's way. I don't know how to face him yet....

And as I prepared myself to leave, Liam approaches me.

"Physics next period, Diba?? "

"Yeah, sabay na tayo?"

"Sure."

Liam is a nice guy. I've always seen him as shy. He's never comfortable when speaking in front of the class, yet he's one of the smartest students. He has always 'As' in his exams.

We have twenty minutes to spare before the next class starts, so we sit on a bench outside to enjoy the sunny day.

"If you don't mind me asking, ok lang ba kayo ni remy?"

"We're ok...just not together anymore.."

"Sorry about that."

I give him a small smile, and we continue chatting.

"Hey man, what's up?" Mark, a guy I recognize from physics class, cheer Liam. He seems to be cool, yet he's the type of guy who likes attention. He's always surrounded by people and he loves to make jokes.

Liam, on the other hand, gives the impression that he would rather hide under a bench than get a lot of attention. Watching both closely I perceived, physically Liam is prettier than Mark, but the different way they both behave makes Mark more appealing. Is just missing something on Liam, maybe to have more attitude, not sure.

They keep talking. I'm not really paying attention though. Not until Liam calls my name.

"So, Quinn? Anong masasabi mo?"

"Ha?" I respond coming back to reality.

"Ay, Hindi ka nakikinig?" Mark asks giving me a small smile.

"sorry." I feel bad for not paying attention; "I just got distracted."

"We are going to play pool somewhere near campus after class eh, Gusto mo bang sumama?"

Tagal na din nung huli akong naglaro ng pool, kasama ko pa si cols nun e. We used to love it.

"Sure, Pero i have practice after my afternoon classes eh. I'll finish at six. Anong oras kayo pupunta??"

"Six is good. I have to catch up on some assignments and essays din e" Said Liam.

The physics class was simply hilarious. A replacement teacher named Mrs.Realonda has animated the class about Electromagnetism.

"Today we'll learn to calculate the magnitude of a cylinder's magnetic field." She explains observing everyone in the room while she is taking something shiny in her hand from a box.

"To learn about it, we need first to know how to calculate the cross-sectional area of this format." She raises her hand for everyone to see the metal cylinder that she's holding. Malaki yon, malaki pa sa kamay niya. Nagsimula siyang maglakad habang hawak hawak niya yung cylinder na yon.

Mukang dildo, a big one.

My mouth drops open and I repress a laugh. 'WOW', I can't believe what I'm seeing here.

She's passing her hand on it while talking. Sa tingin ko hindi na nakikinig ang mga tao sa room namin e.

The whole room starts to laugh out loud. It really looks like she is touching a penis, worst, caressing it. She is now in front of everyone, in a classroom, explaining the magnetism of a material touching a cylinder as if she is touching a dck.

Kawawa naman clueless parin siya sa mga ginagawa niya.

"Of course, it's important to know the parameters as diameter and length. The bigger they are the bigger the magnetic field will be."

The class couldn't stop laughing and shouting at this point. Sobra na to. Natapos na agad ang klase bago pa man matapos ang oras.

the poor teacher couldn't bring us back to paying attention to her. Although, I never laughed so much inside of a classroom before. I'm sure I'll never forget this lesson.

After Physics class the day passed really fast. Liam told me they'll meet me at the soccer field, Para sama-sama kaming pupunta.

The soccer practice is hard. I should have eaten better last week. I couldn't keep up with the team, all the fat I ate was slowing me down.

the half time. I wasn't in the game today, not being able to focus as I should. I discern the disapproval on the coach's face informing me I'll have to do better next time.

We usually have practice on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and some Saturdays. And we had matches on the weekend, but we've been eliminated from the small championship we attended this year.

After the shower I found the guys waiting for me just as they said, on the side of the soccer field. They have a third guy with them who they presented me as Lucas. I think he attends Physics class as well.

We proceed to go to the pub close to the campus. Almost all students are used to going there. It's the spot to have drinks and play pool for a good price.

We arrived early so we could find a pool table available. Lucas arranges the balls on the table while we decide the teams. Liam will play with me and Lucas with Mark.

Liam brings beers to everyone before we start and while we're cheering Mark pronounces:

"C'mon guys, hold your hands on the cue as our physic teacher does with her dealdough"
