———————-

Days passed by like a whirlwind, a week from now back to school na uli. I'll be in my last year of junior high this school year, Dom is probably in senior high right now. I wonder what he's up now, baka naglalakad narin siya ng requirements niya for school, well I wish him the best.

Last week nagshopping na ako ng mga supplies, school bag and materials. Of course I'm with Kaye and Yvo since Mom and Dad, still busy with business. Sometimes I wonder how can they be focused on work thinking they have a daughter alone in their house, I mean I do understand that everything they're doing is all for our future, but still it's so unfair.

I'm so thankful Kaye and Yvo is with me every time I need someone to rely on, every time I need a friend. But I kinda hope Dom is here too, I miss that man so much.

"Earth to Ivy!" I flinched when Yvo suddenly called me out with a loud voice.

"Why the heck are you yelling?"

"The nerve? We've been calling you for a hundred time, gosh! You look bothered, what were you thinking hm? Care to share?" Yvo looks at me with piercing eyes, Kaye is sitting beside her eating snacks and not saying anything.

"I'm just wondering about Dom" I honestly answered

"Ohh, you miss Mr. chicken leg, I see"
Wait what did she call him?

"Mr what" I need to confirm it to see if I'm not hearing things.

"Chicken legs , you told me he is thinner than you, then if your legs looks like a breadstick then what more sakanya?"
And with that I laugh my ass out.

"What has gotten into you Yvo! Why are you acting all funny today!"

"Hmm let's just say I'm just happy"

I look at her then to Kaye, nothing seems weird between them, but why do I have things feeling that it's about their relationship. They seem closer today, weird.

"Are you keeping something from me?"
I squinted my eyes trying to squeeze Yvo for her to spit out something.

"Nah, I just found someone new. That's all"

She answered plainly and slaps Kaye's hand so she can get some chips from the pringles Kaye is holding.

"Oh cool, but fling lang ba uli yan?"
A bit disappointed na hindi about sakanila yun.

"Nope, more like one sided"
I guess who likes who, if Yvo's the one who likes the guy, then that's new.

"Are you okay with that?"
I look at Kaye who's still busy finishing all the pringles.

She was about to open her mouth for response but she just pouts when Yvo interrupted her

"She has no say with that, no need to ask her geez"

Kaye shook her head and glared at Yvo who is sticking out her tongue at her. I smiled at the sight of them, I guess I don't need to worry about the other one's feeling toward the other, they're both fine this way, well that's what I think.

The two of them decided to have a sleep over, Kaye will be sleeping on the couch while me and Yvo will be on my bed. This will be the last for now na sleepover nila since school will be starting soon.

The day came and as expected, Yvo was the first one to woke up but did not even bother to wake me up. Kaye's up now pero nakatunganga parin siya kaya natawa kaming dalawa ni Yvo.

"Kelan pala uwi nila Tita at Tito?"
Kaye asked while we're eating breakfast sa poolside.

"Hmm hindi ko alam actually hindi naman sila nagsasabi and hindi rin naman ako nagtanong"
As I continue on slicing my pancake.
