I Kissed a Girl

05

Sam had no idea why she's inside Alyssa's car when she has her own car to begin with.

"malayo ba yun?" she heard Alyssa asked her.

Papunta na sila dun sa fastfood place kung san niya ililibre ang mga ito.

About that, hindi niya din alam kung bakit niya sinabi yun. Not that wala siyang pera, she can afford everything she wants to, honestly..but yun nga, wala din siyang idea kung bakit sinabi niyang manlilibre siya.

She is not the type to just randomly say that.

"second liko dun sa third lane lang Ly." she answered as she adjusts herself sa pag-upo.

"sorry, uncomfortable ba yung car ko? papalitan ko pa nga ulit yung seats eh, kaso wala pa akong vacant time." sabi nito sa kanya.

"nah, it's okay. don't think too much Ly." sabi niya sabay tingin na kay Alyssa na nakatuon ang atensyon sa kalsada.

"buksan ko yung radio ha?" paalam niya bigla kay Alyssa.

"sure Sam."

Binuksan na niya ang radio at isang medyo pamilyar na kanta ang nagsimulang tumugtog.

"Pag-ibig ko sa'yo na d magbabago at kahit na anong bagyo, ika'y masusundo~~" biglang kanta ni Alyssa sa tabi niya that made her chuckle.

"sshh, masyado bang sintunado?" tanong nito sa kanya.

She looked at Alyssa who looked back at her for awhile.

"okay lang naman." she said with a smile.

Alyssa chuckled at her answer.

As soon as the song ended, Alyssa also parked the car.

Sunod-sunod ding naka park ang ibang sasakyan ng teammates ni Alyssa.

Nag park naman sa tabi nila si Alexa na gamit ang kotse ni Sam.

"may ganito pala dito?" tanong ni Alyssa sa kanya when they both exited the car.

"yep..tara?" sabi niya dito.

Nauna ng pumasok ang mga kasama nila and they are behind them when suddenly, Alyssa pulled her back to stay for awhile.

"I think you're nervous about spending time with unknown people but don't worry, I'm with you." Alyssa told her.

It felt like a heavy burden is taken away from her when Alyssa said those words.

Kasi totoo yun. She is known to be a snobbish person pero she invited everyone for dinner. Everyone na hindi niya kilala.

She suddenly felt nervous and yet wala na siyang magagawa kasi hindi siya nag back out nung nag suggest si Alyssa.

That moment, she did not think of what she'll feel.

It was unlike her.

"thank you Ly." she said when Alyssa held her hand.

"always." sagot nito sabay naglakad na sila papasok.

+++++

Habang hinihintay nila ang mga pagkain na in'order nila, abala ang lahat sa pakikipag-usap sa isa't-isa.

Nasa iisang mahabang table silang lahat and both Alexa and Anji joined a conversation para makilala pa ang ibang teammates ni Alyssa.

Except Sam. She's just there, nakaupo and staring at her phone, right hand scrolling through it while her left hand is under the table, hawak-hawak ni Alyssa.

"President." tawag ni Shanaia sa kaniya.

Huminto siya sa kaka scroll at tumingin dito.

"kayo na ba ni Ly?" tanong nito sa kanya.
