I woke up the next morning feeling numbness on my thigh. Sera's leg was comfortably placed above it. Kai, on my left, on the other hand has her arm above my chest.
Goodness gracious, I am trapped.
Dahan-dahan kong inalis ang paa at kamay nila bago tumayo. Kinusot-kusot ko ang mata bago inilibot ang paningin.
Wala na si Ate sa higaan. Ang aga niya naman. The digital clock says it was just seven in the morning.
"Good morning, Ate Rei." I greeted. Naabutan ko siyang nasa kusina at naghahanda ng pagkain.
"Greetings, Nirvana."
I brushed my teeth and did my
morning routine. Naligo na rin ako at nagbihis. I wore a high waist shorts and an oversized plain peach t-shirt.
Nang makabalik ako sa kusina ay kompleto na kaming lahat. Sera and Kai were already wearing a new outfits while Ari was still in her sleepwear.
Nagkwentuhan kami habang nag-a-agahan. Kung ano-anong bagay lang naman ang pinag-usapan namin.
At exactly 9:30 am, my service arrived. I bid them goodbye and a peck on their cheeks before heading home.
"I saw your IG story kagabi, how was it? Did you enjoy it?" umandar ang pagka-chismosa ni Jia first thing in the morning when Monday came.
"Stop being so nosy, Jia. Kidding. It was fun to be honest."
I shared to her the things we did. She was envious. Bakit raw hindi niya pa na-experience ang ganoon. Mukha raw kasing ang saya.
Jia only has me as her friend. And I only have her back then, before I met Sera and the girls.
I wanted to make her feel better because I know, behind her joking tone is a Jia who really wants to have other friends. Unfortunately, it seems like people really don't want to be close to us.
Kahit noon pa mang nasa elementarya kami ni Jia ay wala na talaga kaming ibang mahanap na kaibigan. People in general befriend's the two of us only if they need something.
My phone vibrated two times so I decided to halt from reading and fish it in my uniforms pocket.
Our group chat was active but I don't wanna open it since I'm in the library searching for an information about something.
My forehead creases when there's a message request sent to me. Who would dare to do so? Rather, who would waste their time messaging me? I'm not friendly or anything close to being outgoing.
Out of curiosity, I clicked it and it revealed a message from a guy named "Kevin Renontes"
I was skeptical at first whether to read his messages or not. Malay ko ba kung isa pala itong scammer or worst, hacker.
But my hand seems to have its own mind. Pinindot nito ang message req.
Kevin Renontes
Good noon, Ms. Nirvana
You are a friend of Seraphi, right?
Mas lalo lamang nangunot ang noo ko dahil sa pagbanggit niya sa pangalan ng kaibigan. I immediately accepted his request and sent a reply.
Kevin Renontes
Yes, why?
And who the hell are you?
