The Present Is You (You Series #1)

CHAPTER 31

CHAPTER 31 - CREATIVE WRITER

"Want to try this, Brooke-chan?"

"No, thanks. I literally have one on my plate."

"How about this then?"

I rolled my eyes and heaved a heavy sigh. I can't take this anymore. I've never even once felt the urge to punch someone in the face until I met this guy sitting right next to me.

"Uh, ngayon lang ba talaga kayo nagkakilalang dalawa?" Tristan asked, weirdly.

Camille and him were staring at us the whole time as if we're like a newly couple all lovey-dovey in front of them.

"Yes./Yes!" We both replied in unison. He was the energetic one.

I annoyingly looked at him and he's looking right back at me with his teeth all showing up as he was smiling widely, his mouth could rip.

"Okay... so Brooke, kamusta naman ang Oliveros? I've heard you were a transferee from Manila?" Tristan asked again.

It seems like he's one of the normal guys who can casually strike up a conversation to somebody he just met.

"It's fine. I've been friends with Camille the second I set foot on the school and then there's the student council president- Alex who also became one of my friends." I straightforwardly answered his question.

He nodded his head casually. I glanced at Camille to see her reaction. I gasped when I saw her wiping her puffy eyes. There's not even a single tear flowing out of it.

"Ang swerte ko talaga dahil ako ang unang nakakilala sa kaniya. Feel ko 'yon eh. Na siya talaga ang nakatadhana para sa akin upang maging BFF ko. At sure akong iyon din ang nararamdaman niya. Diba, Brooke?" Camille's being exaggerated again.

I awkwardly nodded my head.

"Uh, yeah. I feel the same way."

"Well, your BFF story ends here. She's my bestfriend now so go find another one, Camille." Apollo interrupted us.

Camille arched her eyebrows, not looking so satisfied at what Apollo just said.

"Pinagsasasabi mo riyan, Apollo? Baka gusto mong mabangasan?" She threatened and even showed her skinny biceps with no muscles at all.

Apollo giggled. "Okay, fine. I'm okay with sharing her to others." He answered.

What on earth is happening here? Why did the conversation ended up like this?

"Well, I'm not okay with it so back off dude! Kami ni Pres ang original friends niya at sampid ka lang." Camille rolled her eyes at him.

It's funny how they can still eat while fighting with each other. Camille's glaring at him with foods stuffing her mouth and Apollo couldn't even maintain eye contact 'cause he's so endulge with the pasta he ordered.

"I'm sure you guys are aware that Brooke's just sitting right in front of you two?" Tristan butted in.

Well, I have nothing to say. I don't want to be friends with this weird guy beside me. I'm already happy being friends with Camille and Alex. There's nothing else I want in this world.

"Eh kasi naman itong si Apollo, umeeksena pa. May pa-bestfriend bestfriend ka pang nalalaman eh kung aminin mo na lang kayang may gusto ka kay Brooke?" Bigla akong nabilaukan sa sarili kong laway dahil sa sinabi ni Camille.

Apollo patted my back and offered me his water. I immediately accepted it.

"Stop talking nonsense, Camille. Being close to a girl doesn't always mean you like her. Sometimes you just want to be with her all day playing video games or reading books at the coffee shop." Apollo sternly said.
