When The Night Sky Becomes Lively

VII

I. Wanna. Die.

Those words repeated on my head as I remembered what I did this afternoon. Heck! I was like a cliche hot and aggressive jerk in a cliche young adult novel. And what's worse?

Rhiana:
Oh my ghaaaad. Si Legaspi ba talaga ang gumawa nun kay Jasmine?! WAAAAHHHH MAI HART, MAY BARKONG LILITAW!

Reiza:
That's kinda rude. Try harder.

Alyzha:
Yieeeee! May gusto ka pala kay Delilah ah.

Mike Vincent:
Condolence.

BRUH! DESPERATE TIMES CALLED FOR DESPERATE MEASURES

AT LUBOG ANG BARKO NIYO

We had this group chat for a certain activites and ended up being like this. I was being shot by their penetrating comments.

Ilang beses ko ng pinaliwanag sa kanila ang intensyon ko pero 'di sila naniniwala. Lalo't nakita nila. Nakakainis kasi. Delilah's being immature. I didn't wanna be blunt, but I had to pressure her back in senses. Nadala lang din ako kaya nagawa ko 'yun.

Anyway, what happened at the confession was a relief. Akala ko ay baka mangyari ang worst-case scenario. And suprisingly, it's a girl. So far, it went without any problems.

Kung siya ay namumula sa hiya, mas lalo na ako. Gusto ko ng magpalamon sa lupa! I mean, ilang beses na ako naging gano'n kalapit sa babae. But I did it until now. Delilah's so close to the point that I could barely hug her.

And that's something I somehow regretted the most. I just found out my lips were flat and tightly closed. Great, you jerk. You did dug your own grave. Ano na lang ang mukhang ihaharap mo kay Delilah?! Buti na lang, konti lang ang nakakita! Baka abangan na ako sa kanto sa susunod!

As my anxiety was slowly dominating my brain, the notif sound rang.

A certain someone should be aware that what he just sent was uncharacteristic to him. And he seemed aware.

Mike Vincent:
This might sound out of character, pero may naririnig akong mga tsismis lately. Something about transferees?

Something about transferees? Transferees, huh. Kinda peculiar. Ang alam ko ay dapat pantay-pantay ang bilang ng mga estudyante sa bawat klase. Hindi ko pinapakialaman ang mga usapan ng mga tanga sa gilid-gilid. But this rumor peeked my interest.

But something made my worry disappear. With a bit of skepticism if this was really legitimate or not.

Mike Vincent:
Kada isang classroom sa batch natin ay magkakaroon ng isang bagong estudyante.

Kinda peculiar. Isang estudyante kada room? While it was interesting, I wonder why.

My friends chatted words of disbelief and skepticism. Mukhang pareho kami ng iniisip. I didn't know if it's a coincidence or not. But, whatever. What happened behind the scenes would be a water below the bridge later. Some would only think it's a coincidence.

I just had to find out tomorrow. I let them continue their chat and hit the sack.

Kinabukasan, dahil maaga akong nagising ay maaga rin akong nakipagpuno sa malamig na tubig at umalis ng bahay. Since tulog pa ang kapatid ko ay tinabihan ko na lang siya ng pagkain.
