Gico's POV

Uwian

"Huy Gico, seryoso ka ba? Hindi mo isasabay 'yong dalawa kahit hanggang sa kanto?" Concern ni Sharine.

"Lakas talaga ng trip nito" Dagdag ni Paige.

"Alam niyo tinutulungan ko lang si Adrie," explanation ko "...obvious naman na interested sila sa isa't-isa so why not give them a chance to bond."

"Ahhh," Sagot ni Paige "They need to bond, mighty bond."

Nagtawanan kami. "Gago ka talaga"

"James Bond" Dagdag ni Paige.

Nakita namin sina Rosena at Adrie na naglalakad papunta sa subdivision at binusinahan ko pa sila para lang maasar sila lalo. Nakita ko naman sa salamin paglagpas namin na nag-middle finger si Rosena.

Ang saya talaga asarin ng babaeng 'to.

Nagpunta muna kami nina Paige at Sharine sa mall para magpalamig at bumili ng snacks bago pumunta kina Adrie. Movie marathon Day din kasi namin.

Rosena's POV

Ang baliw na Gico, pinaglakad talaga kami ni Adrie pauwi. Sa sobrang tahimik pa naman ni Adrie, naririnig ko pati tunog ng alikabok. Dinaanan kami ni Gico at bumusina nang madaanan niya kami. Nagmiddle finger ako kay Gico at napafacepalm naman si Adrie.

May nadaanan kami na nagtitinda ng ice scramble na mint green, paborito ko ang ice scramble at ang kulay kaya naman inaya ko agad si Adrie na bumili. Wala na siyang nagawa kasi wala naman kami ibang kasama para masabi niya na 'Si ano na lang'

Habang naglalakad at kumakain, finally nagsalita na si Adrie "Aren't you lactose intolerant? I saw that on your bio sa Facebook."

E? Binabasa pala 'yon?

"No, I am lactose and talented." Biro ko naman.

"Sure sure" Sagot niya habang patawa-tawa.

Nang nasa tapat na kami ng bahay nila, bigla siyang humarap sa akin "If you want to hang out later, Gico, Paige, and Sharine will be here along with some of our classmates."

"I will think about it." Sabi ko sabay ngiti. "I should be heading home right now, I still have deliveries and night shift."

"Ingat, take care" Sabi niya habang naglalakad paatras papunta sa gate nila.

Ingat na, take care pa? Redo'ndant 'yarn?

At nauntog siya.

Adrie ha. Very clumsy. HAHAHAHA. Tangena nauntog.

Naramdaman ko na medyo mas komportable na kami sa isa't-isa. Medyo because of the fact na ang weird pa rin ng kilos niya.

But it's too early to judge anyways kasi maaga pa.

Early na, maaga pa. Hays.

Adrie's POV

After a long day at school, I rested in my room like I always do, I still have a couple of hours before my friends arrived, so I decided to sleep, but I didn't feel like sleeping. No matter what sleeping position I went in, wala talaga. I tried playing games and tried watching a movie but got bored. Then just like clockwork, Rica texted me.

start of conversation

RICA: Where are you? I'm here sa convenience store malapit sa inyo.

ME: Okay be right there.

RICA: Will wait

RICA: for you

RICA: here

end of conversation

Rica's POV

"Hey Adrie, bulag ka ba? I'm here ilang beses mo na ko nilagpasan for pete's sake." I said while holding Adrie's hand. I thought he was about to get food when he entered the store but then I realized that he's just looking for me.

He sat beside me, "Well, I forgot my glasses."

"Why didn't you just forget yourself then." I joked.

He smiled at me. "So, how are you?"

"I'm fine. Ang hirap sa school everybody's judging me. Purket I have many suitors. It's not my fault tho, jealous ass btchs." I answered.

"Entertain ka kasi nang entertain ng iba't-ibang tao. Why can't you just stick with one lang?" He asked.

"Eh I can't help it, kapag iniignore ko sila I feel like a bad person." I answered. "Parang I'm letting their hopes and dreams down pa."

"Kaysa paasahin mo sila. You're only one person lang naman, dapat one at a time." Pangaral niya sa akin. "Kaya ka nagmumukhang nakakainis sa kanila kasi they know na isa lang naman 'yong sasagutin mo sa mga suitor mo...or wala"

Ligawan mo ako, sasagutin kita.

"Whatever Kuya, it's my life so they shouldn't, you know, meddle with what way I want to deal with it." I told him.

"I'm just stating facts here." Sabi niya with hand gestures.

"Magdedebate nanaman ba tayo?" I asked.

"I'm not in the mood to win, so no." He answered.

Ang yabang mo talaga. Nakakainis.

"Let's buy food, dito na lang tayo mag-watch ng movie." He said.

We bought food and drinks then we watched a comedy series on Netflix, I put my head on his shoulder.

Could this get any better?

After the movie, we went out of the convenience store. "Kailangan mo na ba umuwi?" I asked.

"Yep." He answered. "I have stuff to do."

Nagbook na ako ng ride pauwi, pagkasakay ko, kakaway sana ako to say goodbye but then I saw him na nakatalikod na at naglalakad na pauwi.

Aaaaah good ol' cold Adrie.

Adrie's POV

I just went home and about to sit down on our sofa when I heard my cousin Gico. "Adrieeee! Nandito na kamiii!" I walked to the driveway to meet them.

"Saan si Ros?" Tanong ni Gico.

"At work, I guess." I answered.

"I guess, I guess, itext mo." Gico said. "Sabihin mo nandito na kami at aantayin namin siya.

start of conversation

ME: Heyyy Ros.

ROS: Hi Adrie. 😸

ME: Where are you?

ROS: Delivering. Why? 😺

ME: Oh haha, I see. Nandito na sina Gico. He told me that they will be waiting for you.

ROS: So now, I'm expected there?😺

ME: Yes. And I just know na hindi siya titigil na mang-asar. 😑

ROS: Okay, I'll be there. Malelate lang ako nang kaunti.

ME: Please walk faster.😣

ROS: Haha 😹 Kaya mo 'yan.

ME: Ingat ka.

ROS: Ingat sila sa akin.

cut conversation

"Ayieeee, ngiting-ngiti siya." Pang-aasar ni Gico.

"Shut up" I told him.

"Crush mo si Hamsteeer hahaha." He teased again, like he's a grade school student.

I rolled my eyes.
