It Might Be You - Part I

Mika

"Kimmy. What do you think of my outfit? Do I look good ba or not?" I said while pouting my lips.

She smiled at me. "You look good, Miks. But I think something's missing."

I frowned with what she said. "Huh? What's missing then?" I looked my reflection on the mirror.

Kimmy chuckled. "I mean... someone's kulang."

Someone? "Who's that someone?"

She chuckled again. "Seriously? Sino pa ba yung reason why you're dressing up like that.... I mean, sino pa bang paghahandaan mo sa Athlete's Ball na pupuntahan natin?"

"Kiefer." I blushed at the thought of seeing him later this evening.

"Wala kaya akong pinaghahandaan. Tara na nga and baka malate pa tayo." I went out of our room na.

Nakita ko naman si Cienne na naka upo sa sofa, busy doing domething with her phone. And the others were still busy preparing themselves for the ball. I sat beside Cienne. Takte, ba't nakangiti 'to?

"Hoy, ano'ng nakain mo at ngiting aso ka dyan?" Asar ko sa kanya.

Her cheeks redened. I smirked. Hahaha! May tinatago to sa'kin.

"It's nothing." She said at nag iwas ng tingin sa akin.

"Nothing? Really, Cienne? Really?" I wiggled my eyebrows. She rolled her eyes.

"It's my friend...." Her

"Friend? Or BOYFRIEND?" I asked her. Her eyes widen with what I said.

"Ho-how....?" She stammered, gotcha!

"Duh, wag mo nang itago. Obvious naman na eh." I chuckled at her reaction.

She's blushing, her face is red as a tomato. "Okay. It's Arnold." She then let out a deep sigh.

I froze. "Arnold!? As in Arnold Van Opstal? Yung mortal enemy mo?"

I heard her giggle. She nodded. "Yes and he's my escort for tonight's ball."

I grinned at her. "Kaya mo pala tinanggihan ang offer sa'yo ni Tigs."

"Ahh... yeah." She slowly nodded her head.

"Anyway, you look good on that dress." I said.

She gave me a 'talaga-lang-ha?' look. "Oo nga. Ba't ayaw mong maniwala?" Tumawa naman ako at tumayo na.

"Well, thanks for the compliment. Pero ang totoo, ang ganda rin ng suot mo ngayon. Bagay sa ganda mo. Pinandigan mo talaga ang pagiging Diwata ng team natin ha? Hahaha..." Natawa naman kaming dalawa. "Or maybe, baka gusto mong pakonsensyahin si Ravena sa lahat ng pang aasar niya sa'yo. At naghihiganti ka, by using your charm and beauty." She continued. Napatigil naman ako sa pagtawa. Parang pakiramdam ko, umakyat lahat ng dugo ko sa mukha.

"Hindi kaya." Sabi ko at naglakad papuntang kitchen.

"Hindi daw pero namumula ng todo ang mga pisngi niya. Deny pa more, Miks." Pahabol niyang sabi. Ugh! Kainis tologo! Kumuha ako ng isang baso and nilagyan ito ng cold water. Ininom ko ito.

I let out a sigh. Tinignan ko ang mukha ko, using my phone. Shocks! I'm really blushing.... ng sobra!

We're already on our way to the venue where the Athlete's Ball will be held. And nang makarating na kami, nagpahuli akong lumabas... para bongga. Hahaha! Just kidding.

I went out of the car na. Naks! May nakaabang palang mga photographers sa labas. Parang Met Gala lang ang peg?

"Ate, wait for me." Tawag sa akin ni Justine.
