Cities And Distance

Chapter 11.

I felt my surroundings being uncomfortable not because majority of the person inside this care are boys but because of Chloe's glares. She's glaring at me from the rearview mirror.

Umiwas nalang ako ng tingin tuwing magtatama ang paningin naming dalawa. Steve and Phil are conversing about their sport training, while Damon drives quietly.

Dapat pala hindi nalang ako sumabay sa kanila, I should've just walk. Marami rin namang naglalakad sa labas dapat nakisabay nalang ako sa paglakad. I even lied na may dadaanan pa 'ko kahit wala naman talaga- well, nasa huli talaga ang pag sisisi.

I was just listening to Steve and Phil, though I couldn't understand what they're talking about I still listened since their voice are the one that's heard inside the car.

"Loraine, sa'n ka nga pala pupunta?" Tanong ni Damon bigla, I quickly lifted up my eyes to look at him.

Oh, shit! Du'n nga pala sa 'dadaanan'. "U-uh.. diyan nalang sa may Unitop." Ani ko.

He nodded and stopped his car at the side of the road. I opened the door beside me, "Salamat ng marami!"

Magiliw kong pasasalamat 'yon. Steve and Phil smiled at me, "Ba-bye, Loraine!" Sabay pa nilang banggit. Ngumiti ako bago isinara ng tuluyan ang pinto ng sasakyan.

I panicked when I turned my back on them, nasa harap ako ng Unitop kahit wala naman akong kailangan dito. My heart beats wild inside when I realized how dumb reasoning it was to say I need to go to somewhere-

Argh!

Kabado akong naglakad patungo sa entrance ng mall habang hindi lumilingon sa likod. Baka kasi nando'n p1a sila saka ang talim ng tingin sa'kin ni Chloe.

Gabi nang makauwi ako sa bahay, sinalubong pa 'ko ng dalawa kong kapatid at - kapal ng muka, nanghingi pa ng pasalubong! I just ignored them and greets my mother, hindi pala siya on duty ngayon dahil bukas pa ng umaga ang duty niya sa ospital.

Nagkaro'n kami ng isang araw na walang pasok. I recieved a message from Naomi and Sarah inviting me to join them in their shopping. Nagpaalam ako kay Mama at pinayagan naman kaya nakasama ako, I'm also going to buy some stockings since I'm running out and some of mines has scratches.

My mother even gave an extra allowance for this because she found out I am buying stockings.
After I bid my goodbye to my mother and brothers, I went out of our house and messaged my friends that I'll be going to Mall with my classmates. I also informed Liam about it, he replied and told me to enjoy.

Sarah and Naomi are close to me, we were always together inside our room. Palagi kaming magkakasama at laging magkakatabi sa bawat subject, the three of us usually doesn't leave each one if we're going somewhere.

Nang makarating ako sa SM Mall, I messaged Rose and asked where there is and she said they were inside the department store. Pumasok ako st naglakad pa department store, Rose called me once I was near the store she told me na nasa may perfume section sila, sa gitna ng store.

Naglakad ako patungo do'n then I spot Rose. She waved her hands at me, Naomi too. Nang malapitan ko sila, we give hugs to each other and giggled. We decided to go look for stockings- they were looking too. We went there and bought some, I bought three and they bought two or four. Tatlo lang ang binili ko dahil alam ko namang iingatan ko ''tong mga to. Pero kahit naman ingatan 'to masisira padin, madali silang masira at magasgasan.

After we bought stockings, we wnt to makeup section inside he department store. Rose and Naomi went to get some makeup, I wander around a famous brand and looked for a lipstick. I took some light red lipstick, and some press powder. Ito lang kasi ang makeup routine ko pag papasok sa school. A sales lady went to me and gave me a small baset.
