"Long time no see, witch." Muli ay sabi niya.
"Fuck you, Kali." Sabi ko habang nakayakap pa rin sa kanya. I'm so embarrassed. He have never seen me cry ever since we were kids. Well, maybe he did once?
"I missed you too, witch! Antagal 'kong nawalan ng partner in crime." Nagbibirong saad niya. Naiinis akong bumitaw sa kanya saka nagpahid ng luha. "Take this, you look like a mess." Alok niya ng panyo niya na sa akin rin galing. Kapal.
Pero inabot ko pa rin iyon upang ipampahid sa mukha ko. "Thank you," masungit na sabi ko.
"So, you're crying now, huh? Congrats, you've finally become a normal person." Sarkastikong sabi niya. I glared at him.
"I bet you're happy to see me like this." Pigil-inis na sabi ko. He grinned seriously.
"Not really. You're not the type to easily cry over petty things, Laine. Now, who's that bastard who made you cry?" Kalmado munit seryoso niyang tanong. I sighed and raised a hand at him.
"You don't need to know. I can handle myself. Don't act as if you don't know how awesome I am." I rolled my eyes. Napipilitan siyang ngumiti saka ginulo ang buhok ko.
"I also missed that attitude. That's my witch for yah!" Aniya habang ngiting-ngiti. Sumama naman ang mukha ko.
"You better not act like it did not do something wrong, jerk face. Don't you dare forget, I know that you flirted with my sister when I'm away." Nagbabanta kong sabi. Inosente lang siyang nag-iwas ng tingin saka palihim na ngumisi na tila may naalala.
"Love sick fool," mahinang anas ko.
"Can't help it. Your sister is so adorable.
.. so lovable." he dreamily said. I punched him in the stomach but he dodged it.
"Why did you dodge it?" Inis kong tanong.
"Well, you can't expect me to take on a direct hit, right? I know how heavy your punches are." He retorted. Napaikot ko na lamang ang mga mata ko. He just smiled excitedly at me.
"Tch! Stop smiling like a freak, Forest! Sigurado ka naman bang gusto ka rin ng kapatid ko? If I ever find out that you're pressuring Olivia and that you're pushing yourself into her, then I'll kick your---" napatigil ako sa pagsasalita ng takpan niya ng kamay niya ang bibig ko. Natahimik ako nang maramdaman ko ang presensyang papalapit ngayon sa direksyon namin. Nang matunugan ko kung sino ang nagmamay-ari ng boses ay hinila ko si Kali patago sa likod ng isang puno.
"She's not here," rinig kong sabi ni Dion na tila may kinakausap sa phone. "Fuck?Why don't you just look for her yourself if you're that fucking worried? C'mon bro, I should be spending my precious time with my girlfriend instead of ditching my own damn party to look for your freaking special someone!" He irritatedly said before turning of his phone. Nagulat naman ako sa ganoong inasta ni Dion. Halata kasing iritado talaga siya. What is he doing here anyway? Who is he talking to and who's the one he's looking for?
Inantay namin na makaalis si Dion na palinga linga pa rin sa paligid habang patuloy na nagmumura. Whoa! That was close.
"Uh, why do we need to hide? It's not like we're secret lovers or something." Natatawang sambit ni Kali nang makalayo na si Dion. Sinamaan ko lang siya ng tingin.
"I can't stand hearing another rumors about the two of us being a thing, jerk." Inis na sabi ko. Natawa lang siya.
"Why, witch? Did you finally realize that I'm too hot, too smart and too amazing for you to handle?" Natatawang tanong niya. Inirapan ko lang siya.
