Dating Mr. Podgy

CHAPTER 1

Lexi is busy scrolling down her phone at tumitingin ng mga updates, nandito sila ngayon sa cafeteria silang dalawa lang ni Deanna ang magkasama at yung iba naman nilang kaibigan ay busy, not academically but for their devotion like cheerleading squad at Acapella.

Nepthalie Aragon is the cheerleading captain, while Bianca Puertos is somehow one of the best Acapella in Eduville.

Deanna Chen is the best when we talk about sports, especially volleyball, she's one of the kind. And of course her, hindi basta muse lang, she also has a rule in this school, she's aa gold achiever.

Everytime may mga academic competition, every teacher in this school would immediately run after her and ask if she could be their representative and after doing it, she'll come home with a trophy and a lot of awards.

Anyway, it's been a week since she and this Lance had been talking and it was pretty fun after all. Deanna still didn't know about her listening to her suggestion and she have no guts to tell it to her, as in wala! Aasarin lamang siya nito.

Lance is pretty fun to talk, may sense of humor, a funny guy, sweet, caring and LEGIT!

He's a MED student, that's why he's pretty busy with his stuffs, and wala silang time to do face time, hindi nga ito masyadong nakaka-reply kaagad sa kanya, like she would still wait for about five minutes or so bago ito makapag-reply sa kanya.

Hindi naman siya red flag, naiintindihan niya naman ang busy days ni Lance, kasi hindi biro ang MED course po. Hindi naman siya katulad ng ibang babae na hindi lang ma replayan ay kaagad namang nag o-overthink kahit walang label, tho she fully understood them, she just guess that, that's what love is, maybe? Ahh basta, yun na yun.

Like now, Lance can only reply her on day time thrice but in night naman, yun na nga putol ng mga 5 minutes or so.

"Huy Lexi, bakit ba ang busy mo sa phone mo lately?" biglaang tanong ni Deanna na ngayon ay seryosong nakatingin sa kanya habang humihigop ng Mango juice.

She smiled and put her phone down. "Wala, just scrolling down in my insta account.." she simply answered.

Deanna wasn't really convinced and she knew this would really happen. "Talaga? Hindi mo naman yan gawain dati eh, pupunta ka lang sa library okay ka na. Alam mo? Mas bagay sayo ang walking library na bansag kesa hottest girl in the campus hahahahaha" pati na rin tuloy siya ay natawa sa pinagsasasabi ng kaibigan niya.

"Duh, as if gusto ko naman yang bansag na yan, mas prefer ko nga na ibansag nalang nila yan doon sa second best insecure bitch na 'yun..." tinuro niya c Patricia gamit ang kanyang nguso.

Patricia now is yeah, as usual flirting over and over again at Henrico, napa-iling na lamang siya.

"Hayst oo nga, parang ang ladlad at laswa kasi ng bansag na 'yun hahhaha gagu" one thing she likes about Deanna is that hindi siya plastik at wala ring filter kung magsalita, that's it, in short she's true to herself and to everyone kaya nga siguro na inlove si Marcus sa kanya.

"Hayaan mo na, even me, I don't see myself as the hottest, like wtf? Saan ba yun nanggaling?" sumama ang timpla ng kanyang mukha, she really don't like that name they called her.

"Remember, nung nag 18th birthday ka girl, you're wearing a very shitty, revealing and informal clothes po" Deanny said.

"Sisihin mo mom ko, Deans" aniya and they just laughed.

"Hi girls! OMG! Serayah how are you?" maarteng tunog iyon ng boses ni Nepthalie.

"Neps, call me Alexie, Lexi, or kahit Lex nalang, huwag na 'yung Serayah, parang Native na ano, ewan ko kay mommy..." reklamo niya.
