A/N: This one's in taglish. It's already my second one shot in this language :)

Enjoy, Filo readers!

I was just entering my best friend's house when I saw her arm wrestling with her older brother, Jackson.

"Lisa!"

Exactly then, natalo siya. Her arm mercilessly pinned on the table in one single move.

"Tangina!" mura niya sabay gulo ng buhok niya sa inis. She's really OA minsan.

Jackson was laughing at her when I approached them.

"Weakshit!" he teases, standing up with a grin, "Ikaw na bahala dyan sa weakshit na best friend mo, Jennie."

"Sira," pigil-tawa kong sabi sabay upo sa inuupuan niya kanina, katapat ni Lisa. I pouted to stop myself from smiling when I met her sulking face, "Oh? Hindi ka pa sanay matalo? Your brother is buff as hell, Lisa."

"Puro taba lang 'yon," irita niyang sabi sabay halukipkip. "Bakit nandito ka na naman? Talo tuloy ako."

"Sabi na nga ba I'm your weakness," I smiled brightly just to annoy her.

"Ewan ko pero parang nawawalan nga ako ng gana mabuhay pag nakikita kita," pang-aasar niya.

Akmang kukutusan ko siya nang may tumawag sa kanya.

"Kuto! May naghahanap sa'yo!" sigaw ni Jackson mula sa sala, papalapit ulit sa amin. Ngiting-ngiti siya pagkapasok, "Chix, kapatid. Pakilala mo naman ako."

Nagkatinginan kami ni Lisa. She looks excited. It can only be one person, then.

"Lis wait," I smiled weakly at her, leaning on the table to quickly fix her bangs that was a little messed up, "There. Go get her, tiger."

"How do I look?" bulong niya habang hawak ang itim niyang buhok, her eyes going back and forth between me and the door.

"Like a fuck girl."

Natigilan siya at tumitig sa akin habang unti-unting ngumisi, "Except that I'm serious with Irene. Later, Jen."

With that, she grabbed the white bucket hat on her side and went for the door, leaving me alone. She was probably expecting her kaya nakaayos. Kapal ng mukha magpasundo sa pinopormahan niya.

But that's probably her charm. Annoying but cute. No wonder Irene's starting to reciprocate her feelings.

"Sabi ko naman kasi sa'yo kumilos ka na bago pa may seryosohin 'yon. Ang gaganda pa naman ng mga chix ng utol ko."

Halos mapatalon ako nang marinig ang boses ni Jackson sa may likod ko.

I twisted from my seat to glare at him, "I don't like her that way nga kasi."

He smirked. "Okay. Sabi mo, e."

I turned my back on him and huffed. I couldn't care less if Lisa starts dating exclusively. Actually, I'd be happy for her.

Even if it gets in the way of our Saturday movie nights, just like tonight. I'd be happy for her.

"What are you doing here?" gulat na tanong ko pagkakita ko kay Lisa sa may living room namin kinabuksan.

She's watching a basketball game with my dad beside him, who I kissed on his cheek, "Morning, Daddy."

Akala mo bahay ni Lisa, nakataas pa isang paa sa sofa habang tutok sa TV. "Shit! 3 points!" she shouts with a punch in the air.
