It's my 4th year in college, I'm 20 but, not so sweet. Bitter-sweet me Carys Nyx Navalta. It's been two years since I saw the two special friends of mine, Keine and Scot. We were the perfect quadro during highschool days. You know the kids who knows only how to have fun. Faye kept in touch with me because were in the same university.
I was waiting in the cafeteria since it's Tuesday and our first period is out. I was scrolling on my phone when I heard a loud voice from the other side of the cafeteria...
"Nyx!!! Holaa!! rise and shine" - Just how is she always happy?
"Good morning" - I said while sipping a cup of coffee
"Miss kona si Keine, legit don't act like you didn't miss both of them? Specially Scot?
Good morning palang naisasagot ko dami na niyang nasabi.
"Dahan dahan ang tanong" - I said and let out a little sigh.
She's always loud. She's Brielle Faye Kinley. She's been always with me eversince high school. I'm stuck with her akala ko sa pagiging tahimik ko makakuha ako ng katahimikan, but this girl she's mental. Literally and intellectually. Well she's a psych major, I'm in Business Administration, we just met in the cafeteria because she's setting another hangout with Keine and Scot na hindi ko naman kung kelan nila balak magpakita well they reply naman but, it's unlikely to have a time to meet.
"It's funny that nauna mong sabihin na miss mo na si Keine when you just went out with him last friday, without informing anyone of us" - I effortlessly said but, intriguing.
"Scot is inactive you got exams, nag chat pako sa gc na I will go alone, nagulat ako nasa coffee shop na si Keine" - She blushed while she tells the story,
"Masanay kana pag sa gc tayo nag uusap parang private dm lang ang dating"
Lapad ng ngiti ng bruha. She's been inlove with Keine 5 years in a row. Pabalik balik. May times na magkakaron siya ng interest sa iba but, then she'll ditch those men and came back running to me and ranting about how she's in love with Keine. Sa loob ng five years na yon may past sila. 2 years naging sila 3 years naman na silang hiwalay ngayon.
That's exactly the risk I dodge after confessing to Scot. I immediately tried to move on from all the feelings I had for him. Since he already told me he does not feel the same.
"Faye just go and get back together" - I said irritated.
"I can't. Beside were having the best friendship it'll be hard with that situation"
"I've been there, I've done that"
"Mas maswerte ka you confessed to scot in high school but you became the best of friends until now" - She asked.
"I guess that's what happen kapag hindi mo jinowa kaibigan mo"
"Whatever" - Faye said irritatedly.
"You act like nasaktan ka, eh how about me? Ni hindi naging kami. He told me he did not feel the same so I had to step a little bit apart"
"Well you have a point. No worries he said nothing change between you and obvious naman. You guys are still close"
I quietly leaned back on my chair processing the words she said. Were still close right. We still do talk to each other like nothing happened. Although to me it's different. We are inseperable since like we were ten. Now were just close childhood best friends. No more or less.
"Halaaa oras na agad!!" - Napasinghap naman ako ng biglang sumigaw yung nasa harapan ko.
"Ano ba?" - Asik ko
"Late nako I gotta bounced. Love yahh!" - She said and ran away.
Napailing nalang ako habang pinapanood siya papalayo. Girl kaya pa ba?
The notification got my attention while I sip a cup of coffee. It's from class group messages.
'Wala daw pasok department naten ngayon guys, may faculty assembly daw'
Tss... nasa school nako eh. Ngayon pa nagchat. Kairita.
I immidiately got out of the cafeteria, bringing everything I had to bring for that thesis na di naman pala matutuloy. I took my I-pad, my tumbler, and few papers. Literally a picture of any college girls with maximized hand talent. Who needs tagabitbit anyway? It's overrated.
I went to the parking lot and hop in my car. I was eager to get out of this place.
'Kailangan ko ng tulog'
Pagkadating na pagkadating ko sa apartment ay agad akong pabagsak na dumapa sa sofa atsaka pumikit, saktong ihehele palang ako ng antok ay napabalikwas naman ako ng gulat dahil sa doorbell.
Walang gana akong tumayo at naglakad papalapit sa pintuan,
"Be careful with the doorbe--"
My mouth lost it's ability to speak looking up at the tall guy infront of my porch.
"Can I stay here?"
His eyes are gloomy, his hair is a complete mess, and there is a bandage on the upper left of his forehead.
"Scot?"
I recognized him at first look but my tounge utter his name inappropriately because of the shock. He has a black pin attached in the corner of his shirt. I already guess what happened, but who?
"C-can? I?"
He was uncomfortably, hesitating to ask me again,
"Ofcourse, come in
I am literally preoccupied ushering him in, specially he seemed so quiet than usual.
'Malamang namatayan nga eh'
Sometimes my brain is like a warzone, or my brain cells are slowly decreasing?
Pagkapasok na pagkapasok niya sa bahay, right in the middle of my living room, he squeezed me with his warm embrace.
"I need home"
He said underneath his breath.
I couldn't move a muscle. My mind is in process I couldn't even hug him back instead I hesitantly moved my arms to tap his shoulders.
