FORTY-FOURTH
Seamus didn’t forget but he’s just getting his money now because it’s his first day off after several weeks. He became so much busier when Skyler became his boss but since he’s Seamus Gray Del Fierro a.k.a. the kindest and softest son of Rafael Del Fierro, he’s not complaining.
“I’m sorry, what is this bet again?” tanong ni XZ kanila Hayden at Eze na kabibigay lang ng tig-limang daang piso kay Seamus.
“Eze bet that Levi is a medical student and Hayden bet that Levi is a business major.”
“No, I bet he’s a med student, Kai bet he’s a business major, and Eze bet that he’s a music major,” pagtatama ni Hayden.
“Whatever, mate, I just got 1,500 pesos without doing anything,” sagot ni Seamus, ginawa niyang pamaypay ang isang 500-peso bill at limang 100-peso bills kaya natawa sina XZ, Mel, at Liv.
“Nakuha mo na ba yung kay Kai?” tanong ni Eze pagkabalik ng wallet niya sa bulsa niya.
“Yes. I got to talk to him when I got home. He’s the one who told me that I could find you here since there’s a... some sort of play?”
“An Aladdin Musical, yes,” sagot ni Eze.
“Oh, do you want to watch? I still have 8 tickets left,” pag-imbita ni Hayden sa kambal.
“My whole day’s already planned, I’m sorry,” sagot ni Seamus.
“Ah, it’s alright,” ani Hayden.
“Bakit ang dami mong tickets?” nagtatakang tanong ni Mel at hindi lang siya ang nagtataka kung hindi pati na sina Eze, XZ, Liv, Wil, at nang marinig ang tanong ni Mel ay pati na rin si Seamus.
“Levi wants the audience to be full but it’s nowhere near that. I’m giving away tickets for free since Levi already paid for them to give them to people who’d like to see the show but people in this university are so fucking busy! They’re all, ‘oh, I’d love to but I have a test in an hour’ and the show is in an hour!”
“That’s sweet. He’s really going out of his way to support Rai,” nakangiting sambit ni Mel na sinang-ayunan naman ng mga kasama.
“And it’s nice of you to help him,” bulong ni Mel kay Hayden kaya napangiti ito.
“Who’s Levi?” bulong naman ni Liv kay Wil ngunit hindi rin alam ng huli kaya nagkibit-balikat ito. Narinig naman sila ni XZ kaya ito ang sumagot.
“Kuya Luke’s brother, you watch him play soccer all the time.”
“Oh, yes, he’s really good at football,” komento ni Hayden kaya napatangu-tango ang mga kasama niya dahil sang-ayon ang mga ito. Pati na si Wil ay napatangu-tango nang makilala na ang tinutukoy ng kaibigan at maalala kung paano maglaro si Levi Del Fierro. Hayden is considered the greatest player ever in the history of SMU so him complementing Levi is a big deal.
“Oh! Del Fierro 25!” saad ni Liv nang maalala ang tinutukoy ng mga kasama.
“Yes, yes,” sagot naman ni XZ.
“Levi and Rai look so good together. I know at some point we all thought that they were in a relationship, right? I just don’t get why every time I ask Rai, it really seems like there’s absolutely nothing going on between them. Like, zero, none whatsoever,” reklamo ni Mel. Hindi sila masyadong malapit ni Rai Frias sa isa’t isa ngunit mabait ito kaya naman madaling lapitan at kausapin. Rai is also open about everything when it comes to Levi’s friends and relatives that’s why everyone’s comfortable with her.
