Stars Across The Night Sky (Rain On Me Series #2)

04

It's been a few days. We are here in the mall to celebrate Gray and Jameson's arrival, as our new classmates.

We're exactly at the bookstore, to buy some stuffs. Tapos na kaming magbayad ng mga pinamili namin kaya nakatayo na kami sa gilid.

"Sino pa ba hinihintay natin?" Naiinip na tanong ni Gray.

"Si Lexi, bro." Andrei answered. Chill lang siya ngayon, he told me earlier why, kasi daw lilibre daw siya ni Gray.

"Ano ba 'yan, pahuli huli pa kala mo maganda."  Gray frowned.

I just laughed at his reaction. He and I became friends, he is so talkative and kind but he hates it when someone tried to flirt with him, Lexi for example.

"Baka naghahanap pa ng mga books," I said. Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa kabuuan ng bookstore to find her.

"Si Lexi, bibili ng libro?! Maniwala." sarkastikong tugon ni Andrei na ikinatawa ni Jameson.

"There she is," turo ni Gwen. Kumaway siya para makuha ang atensyon ni Lexi, "naghanap nanaman siguro ng gwapong lalaki 'yan." she added.

"Pa special pa," Gray complained. Mauuna na sana siyang lumabas nang pigilan siya ni Andrei.

"Wait nga, headcount." hinarangan niya ang daraanan ni Gray.

"Ano 'to, fieldtrip?" Jameson comments, still laughing at Andrei's suggestion.

Hindi pinansin ni Andrei ang tugon niya at nagsimula ng bumilang, tinuturo niya pa kami isa-isa. "One, two three....... seven. Okay, kompleto na. Let's go." Nauna na siyang lumabas, sumunod naman kami sa kaniya.

We're only seven, hindi kasi sumama si Kylie, meron silang family gatherings ngayon.

"Saan tayo next?" Jameson asked, he looked bored. I can't blame him, kanina pa kasi kami palakad lakad.

"Kain tayo sa eat all you can," Lexi commented, swaying her hands in excitement. "Malapit lang 'yon dito sa food court."

Gray rolls his eyes. "Ayoko, ako nag-aya kaya ako masusunod." he said with authority, pointing himself.

Lexi raised her brow. "Bakit ikaw ba magbabayad?"

"Oo, ano bang akala mo?" Gray demanded.

They started a fight again.

I sighed as we stopped walking. "We're at the mall guys." I said, trying to stop the both of them.

Lexi didn't listen. "Mayaman kami, hindi ko na kailangan ng libre mo," pagmamalaki niya.

Gray laughed, sarcastically. "Currupt naman  'yung daddy mo." Sabi niya na ikinagulat ko.

"How dare you?!" Lumapit siya kay Gray, binubunggo niya yung balikat niya sa kaniya.

"Rumors 'yon sa buong university, sinasabi ko lang." he began to walked again.

Lexi approach him then she stepped on Gray's foot. "Heh, kaya ko ngang bilhin pamilya mo e!" she shouted.

Napasapo ako sa mukha, pinagtitinginan na kami sa sobrang ingay ng dalawa.

Halatang nagpipigil si Gray ng inis, "patawa ka, baka pera pa ng bayan 'yun ah." Gray groaned.

"Hoy, kaya ka daw bilhin oh," gatong ni Andrei saka kinalabit si Jameson.

"Stop it, let him decide Lex," I tapped her shoulder, trying to calm her down.

"Athena?" She held my arm, pouting. "You, I can't believe it. Of all people," she dramatically clutched her hand on her chest.

"And there she is, the queen of ka-oa-yan." Gwen whispered beside me.
