A Secret To Her Bestie!

Chapter Five

Another saturday morning, these days I was really into kdrama's. Pretty sure I would use my whole free time this weekend to finish all the kdrama's that I am watching as much as possible.

Wala namang masyadong nangyari sa school this week except sa pag transfer ng foreigner sa school namin.

I was about to open chorome and head into the site na pinapanooran ko ng drama's ng bigla nalang may messenger chat bubble na nag pop up sa screen ko.

I took a deep breath before deciding na pindutin na yung bubble which I noticed, it was Jashmen who pm'd me. "Yung kwentong ginagawa mo sa Wattpad, may bagong chapter na ba?" yun yung chinat nya saakin.

I was too lazy to update it even if I have the events that I wanted to add in the future clearly in my head. Mahirap lang talaga I deliver kung paano ko I ko-connect yung my yun.

"Hmm... I haven't, update ko na ngayon. Gusto mo?" I replied which took her just a few seconds to answer Ok.

"Yun lang ba gusto mong sabihin?" I typed with my autocorrecting keyboard na pilit ginagawang English yung sinusulat ko. "Hmm... Yes..."

Nag react nalang ako ng favorite emoji ko at nag leave sa messenger para masimulan ko na yung new episode ng kakalabas palang na drama ng favorite korean actor ko.

As I was about to click the play button, another chat bubble appeared on my screen. I immediately clicked it as I saw that it was Jashmen again.

"Pwede pasama sa computer shop? May ipapa print ako eh." She said which I decided to go, I mean why not?

As usual, we had small talks as we were on our way to the computer shop. "Uy, may icecream oh. Bili tayo mamaya?" I asked as I pointed sa traditional icecream sellers dito sa pilipinas which tumango nalang sya.

She was acting normally, yet I still find it a little strange. Konting konti nalang talaga judgemental na ako.

As she was finding the things that she wanted to be printed, I rented another computer for half an hour. Inopen ko Yung Facebook account ko which I don't usually do on my phone, laki kase mangain ng space nung apps ko.

I went to the Facebook page of our school and scrolled to see if something is new. This was not the official Facebook page, it was just made by a student which we were hopefully invited to.

And there I saw na nag post yung ibang estudyante ng stolen photos of our transfered classmate. "Who is this guy from our school" or "Which section is he from" yung kadalasang nababasa ko sa post nila.

Gosh, I think he was about to be a new heartthrob in our school, he and Tine will have a battle in the stage in terms of the amount of their fangirls.

I'm sick of it, two heartthrob in the same room? Nung si Tine pangalang sawang sawa na ako kakadalaw ng mga babae sa room namin, madadagdagan pa kaya?

I logged out when I saw na 3 minutes nalang yung natitirang time ng rent ko which at the same time as tapos na siyang mag pa-print.

The next monday, our adviser announced na magkakaroon ng stage play tungkol sa story na topic namin in our Filipino subject. Everyone was required to attend which for those who doesn't would need to do extra work.

Need ulit mag ipon dahil alam naman natin na hindi naman kami deretso pauwi pagkatapos ng stage play as we would probably persuade each other na gumala kahit sandali. And worst of all, it will already be in the end of the month.

Next subject as our Mapeh teacher was absent, we were just given a task na mag drawing about something and pass it tomorrow. Hindi naman required na gumawa ngayon so most of us will just do it at home. Anyways mas magiging neat yung gawa sa bahay dahil kompleto yung gamit.

"Did you hear? Tapos na daw yung new building so there is a chance na ilipat yung ibang grade 11 doon." One of our classmate told her friend.

Humarap sa likod si Lyn at LJ as they were sitting in front of us. I lifted my shoulder to Indicate that I was not aware of it, and neither of the three either.

I remember when I was on elementary, that time may bagong building din. I was pretty scared na ako yung mapapasama na ililipat ng section as some students were getting chosen that time.

Not that kilala ko na yung tatlo noon as I met them on grade 7 and 8. But adjusting is just not my thing.

"I think may nakita nga akong teachers na pumasok dun sa bagong building nung napa daan kami." Sabi ni Lyn as she have recalled something that happened earlier.

"Anyways, should we eat na guys?" I broke their moment of silence as they were staring at each other for the past 3 minutes struggling na dugtungan yung sinabi ni Lyn.

Napatingin sila sakin as they immediately grabbed their food from their bags the moment they saw that I already have my lunch out.

"What ya got guys?" I asked as I opened my tupperware. "Rice at ulam." They said in unison which I stared in disbelief.

"Umm, I know na rice at ulam. But anong ulam, kanin at rice lang ba?" I asked again and made sure I'm clear this time. "Hmm, I got nuggets." LJ said as she was getting another thing out of her bag. "And green mangoes."

Napa woah kaming dalawa ni Lyn the moment we saw the sour and appetizing appearance of the sliced mangoes. "Nice one!"

"Umm, kayo ba?" Tanong ni Lyn after presenting the mangoes in front of our faces. "May ampalaya ako, gusto niyo?" Ang sabi ko pagkatapos ipakita Yung tupperware ko na half ulam half rice.

I like ampalaya pero pa isa isa siguro yung lagay ko sa kanin, I guess I'm weak against bitter foods. "May binili din akong caramel na moby." I whispered as I pointed on my bag.

Hindi namin nilalabas yung mga junkfoods namin kase imbis na kami mag enjoy, onti lang nakakain namin sa mga nanghihingi na classmates.

Jashmen have chicken adobo that is filled with sliced potatoes. Di na namin tinanong as we have already saw what she brought. "Wow, pahingi ako ng potatoes." I commented.

"Hmm, my bad. Sandwich pala lunch ko." She said as she placed sliced breads filled with chocolate spread. "Ah! I envy you! That looks good!"

"Alam niyo kung bakit hindi naka pasok si Tine?" Lyn asked before taking a bite of her sandwich. I only shake my head having no idea why. I guess hindi talaga ako yung type na may pake sa buhay ng ibang tao, exception na yung mga close ko.

"May sakit daw siya, I heard from one of her friends." LJ said as she pointed at one of our male classmate.

"Umm Tine aside, wala naman siya dito.... What about...our other... classmate?" Jashmen said hesitatedly as if she's struggling kung itutuloy niya ba yung sinasabi niya o hindi.

"What other classmate?" Lyn asked confusedly. "Yung other heartthrob." Sinabi ko na parang walang gana. You know, most of the time kaming dalawa lang talaga Yung nagkakaintindihan sa gustong sabihin ng bawat isa.

"Other heartthrob? Sino?" Lyn asked still not picking up on who we were talking about. "Yung transfer student." I whispered para Hindi niya marinig dahil nasa likod lang namin siya, malay mo medyo nakakaintindi na pala siya.

"Oo nga no" LJ said ng maintindihan niya kung bakit binangit ni Jashmen yung transfer saamin.

He was alone there in the back not even eating. Naka tulala lang siya sa bintana to the point na baka umabot na siya sa mindanao ngayon.

"Should we.... like invite him or something?" I asked the others which they all agreed. Kahit ngitian nya lang kami, atleast we tried.

As we were about to talk to him, biglang pumunta yung adviser namin at tinawag siya. Parang may sinabi si ma'am na kabahabahala dahil kita sa reaction nung transfer student as he went back to his seat and grabbed his bag before leaving the room.

"Something probably happened."
