GOOD MORNING, Bestie!” masiglang bati sa akin ng kaklase kong si Jeremy. Naupo siya sa kanyang puwesto na hindi pa rin naaalis ang ngiti sa kanyang mga labi. I know such smile, he’s up to something.
“What’s up?” tanong ko sa kanya. Mabilis na umiling naman siya habang nakangiti pa rin. “Come on, Jeremy, spill it.” I crossed my arms as I waited for his reply.
You know he’s up to something when his grin reached from ear to ear. He’s my bubbly classmate who was once a nerd kid at school that turned pun-throwing hottie—his words, not mine— after a life changing event. And what event? Well, one morning he just woke up and decided to remove his dental braces after few years of wearing them. Also, napagpasyahan niyang ayusin ang kanyang buhok na dati ay tila dinilaan ng dinosaur.
He shook his head and looked at the door. “Nothing—o, ayan na pala sila.”
Napatingin ako sa pintuan kung saan magkasabay na pumasok sina Math at Gray. Mathilde Corazon is a transferee from the City of Waterfalls, Iligan City. She’s a tech geek who’s fond of making something out of scrap that could be useful most of the times. Matalino siya at maalam sa halos lahat ng bagay. She likes to tell everyone she meets about all her achievements and milestones. Some might admire her for it while others find her boastful—gaya na lang ni Jeremy. The guy with a straight face is my classmate Gray Ivan Silvan. He has keen eyes for observation and penchant for mysteries.
Pero wait, sabay silang pumasok ni Math? These two are hanging out a lot lately. Well, wala naman akong pake kung magkasabay man sila o hindi.
Gray tossed his bag on the chair beside me. “Good morning.”
Math kissed my cheek and greeted me a good morning too, like she always does. Agad namang tinakpan ni Jeremy ang pisngi niya nang akmang lalapitan siya nito dahilan para makatanggap siya ng simangot dito..
“Tuloy ang lakad natin mamaya, ah?” paalala na lang ni Math.
Yup. We agreed to go to the mall pagkatapos ng klase namin sa hapon.
“Thanks for the reminder, Maya!” masiglang sabi ni Jeremy at tumayo sa harap naming tatlo. Yup, he calls her ‘Maya’ dahil ‘mayabang’ daw. Jeremy stood in front of us, fixing the collar of his uniform. “So ngayong nandito na tayong lahat, I have a proposal.”
Agad na napasimangot si Gray. Gaya ng madalas niyang ginagawa, binabara na naman niya ang puns at kung ano-ano pang mga walang kuwentang ideya na galing kay Jeremy.
