CHAPTER 6

🌻

G: WHERE ARE YOU??? WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING MY CALLS?

M: Sorry. I'm at the shop. I helped Manong Dario with the bilao orders earlier. What's wrong?

G: I thought you're intentionally ignoring me.

M: Why would I? I could never ignore my special person.

I think I just blushed. I quickly looked around. Thankfully, no one was looking at me. Even our professor who was discussing in front didn't notice me texting instead of listening.

M: Btw, I can't fetch you later. Mama wanted me to go somewhere. See you at home.

G: Just make sure it isn't another arranged blind date or else I'll break all of your bones.

M: Ouch.

G: You mean you're really going on a date??!!!

M: LOL Just kidding.

G: You think it's funny?

I was losing my temper. What's wrong with this person? How can he joke like that and expect me to just laugh it off? I think he enjoys triggering my anger.

M: Are u mad at me?

M: Hello?

I didn't reply to his messages. Serves you right!

M: I'm sorry. I was really just kidding. I'm not going on a date.

M: I'm sorry.

M: Pssstttt... Sorry.

I just read all his messages. Annoying!

But he didn't text again. I waited. I anxiously waited and held myself from texting back. Did I make him feel bad? But he made me feel bad first. Urg!

M: ❤❤❤

I quickly opened my phone when it vibrated. I knew it was Mew. I was sure of it. And when I saw the heart emojis that he sent, I found myself beginning to smile again. See? I really can't get mad at him for so long.

"You blushing and smiling like a fool is a sight to behold, my friend," Boss suddenly whispered from behind me.

I turned back to him. He was grinning from ear to ear. How the hell did this weakling know that I was blushing? He's the nosiest I swear. I shot daggers at him in my head. "Mind your own business, asshole!"

He just laughed silently. Jeff who was seated beside him kicked his chair when the professor suddenly looked at our direction. Boss sat back up and pretended to listen attentively. What an actor. Top, who was seated at the back of them was as usual, dozing off.

I have the greatest friends in the world.

"Hey watch out!"

"You're not helping me! Wait!"

"Why are you so dumb? That's not how you do it!"

Mew and I were playing our favorite survival shooter game using our mobile phones. We were in the living room, shouting at each other and laughing our asses off at the same time. I was sitting with my back on the couch armrest and Mew was comfortably sitting on the floor, his head slightly leaning on my thighs.

"Did you just call me dumb?" he raised an eyebrow at me.

I smiled sheepishly and made a peace sign. "Sorry. You know I get carried away easily."
