"Hey, dude. Are out stealing last night?"
Preskong mukha ni Julius ang sumalubong sa akin sa classroom, basa ang buhok niya at amoy na amoy rin ang pabango niya, kararating lang.
"Huh, what do you mean?" I asked him with no emotions.
"Look at yourself." Inabutan niya ako ng salamin. "Do you even call yourself a human? You look like a panda with those dark circles!"
I looked at myself in the mirror carelessly. "What's wrong? It looks fine to me."
"Whoa. Mukhang hindi ka lang napuyat, nawala rin yata ang paningin mo."
"I can see just fine," inosente kong sambit, nakatingin na sa kaniya.
I heard him click his tounge before speaking. "Seriously, dude? Did something happened? Ayos ka pa naman noong Palaro, ah."
"Don't even bring up that. It shatters my heart more." Yumuko na lang ako sa desk, iniiwasan maalala ang nangyari sa amin ni Zye. I don't know how should I feel about it. There's part of me that's angry, sympathetic, hurting. Halo-halo na ang nararamdaman ko.
When Julius gasp, it looks like I don't need to have a throwback. "Did you got dumped?" I pouted my lips at him before nodding.
Agad niya namang tinapik ang balikat ko. "You're a poor one, tsk." Umiling-iling pa siya. "Do you want to drink after class? My treat."
"You jerk. We're still minors. I highly refuse. I'm broken but I don't want to end up in jail yet. It's too early to experience that." Yumuko na lang ulit ako sa desk ko at hinayaan siya.
