Lia

"Uy, what are we doing after the gig?" I asked in sheer excitement. I've been looking forward to this gig in so long. Nasprain ko kasi iyong ankle ko last last week, kaya I have to skip out on some band activities.

"Uhm," Kyle and Mark looked at each other and then looked at Samantha.

My brows furrowed in confusion. Tinitignan ko sila sa malaki naming salamin dahil nag mmakeup ako para sa gig mamaya.

"Akala ba namin may sprain ka pa?"

"What? Kakagaling lang, kaya nga nakakasama na ko sa inyo sa rehearsals."

"Ganun ba?"

"Oo," I replied with a smile.

"Diretso ako sa bahay mamaya eh," Samantha said. "Hindi ko lang alam sa mga lalaki,"

"Uwi din kami agad after," Mark said.

I glanced at Kyle, asking for help. Siya kasi iyong leader namin. He's also kind of my boyfriend. I know he'd help me out here. Plus, it's unusual that they'd skip out on hanging out. It's always been our thing.

"I'm sorry, Lia, ilang araw din kasing sunod sunod iyong gigs namin. Napagod lang." He said and pinched my cheeks.

"Okay lang," I replied, trying to be cheerful. Iba kasi yung inexpect ko. Ang tagal kong hindi sila nakasama eh, akala ko lalabas kami tonight.

After I finished my makeup, the three of them were on their phones, smirking and giggling about something. Nacurious ako kaya kumandong ako kay Kyle at pasimple sumilip sa phone niya.

"Anong ginagawa mo?" I asked. But before I can even take a peek of his phone, he hid it and kisses my forehead.

"Do you want to eat something?

Shrugging the thought off, I smiled at him and spoke, "Nachos,"

"Tara," he held my hand and guided me out.

"Tapos na ba tayo mag rehearse? Pupunta na ba tayo sa bar?"

He nodded and kissed the back of my hand. "Nachos lang gusto mo?"

"Ikaw, may gusto kang kainin?"

"Ate, fries na din po saka apat na okinawa milktea."

We sat on one of the benches to wait for our food. Buti nalang katapat lang ng pinagrrehearsan namin itong milktea shop. Madali lang makabili ng food. Lagi pamandin ako gutom.

"Gusto mo gumala ma--" I couldn't finish my question. Pagkatingin ko kasi kay Kyle, nakatitig lang siya sakin. Ganoon na ba siya ka inlove sakin? Grabe naman yon.

"Movie night tayo. I wanna cuddle." He said. I giggled. He may not look like it but he's really clingy.

"Pano sila Samantha?"

He chuckled. "Hayaan mo sila, may plano silang kanila."

"Really?"

He nodded.

"Why wasn't I informed?" I laughed. Wala namang mali sa pagsabi sakin. Edi sana hindi nalang ako nag expect na gagala kami mamaya kasi may plano pala sila.

"Ewan ko din. Baka madisband na nga tayo eh."

My eyes widened. What the heck happened when I was gone?

"And you're just telling me now?"

"At least I told you," he said

My brows furrowed in frustration. Is he even our leader? At wala siyang ginagawa sa problema namin?
