All for Naught (NOTHING SERIES #1)

Chapter 2

---

We waited for Vy to finish before going to Sicha's school. Napagdesisyunan naming sa isang coffee shop na lang kami maghintay sa kanya.

Ayokong pumasok ng school niya, nakakatamad. Nakakatamad maglakad lalo pa at ang isip ko ay nasa coffee na. Sa isang coffee shop kami tatambay ngayon. Aalis kami for lunch then will go back again at three.

"I can't believe we all went here just for coffee." Sabi ni Beca, hindi makapaniwala.

I chuckled, "As we should. And hey, it's not for coffee, para sa jamming daw!"

"Jamming!" She scoffed. "Jamming sa coffee shop? Mas maganda pa kung sa club eh."

"Minor kami."

"Lul, akala niyo naman di kayo nainom." Sabi niya.

We chuckled. We do drink. With family and with them. Occasionally ganon. But night outs with drinks? No. Barely!

I put out my laptop. We decided to just watch a movie while waiting for Sicha. Nasa gitna nila ako. We don't have earphones pero hindi naman iyon maingay. And the place is also not noisy kaya rinig namin ang pinapanood. There's also subtitles.

Halos isang oras lang naman kami naghintay bago dumating si Cha. Hindi na ito nag order pa at nag aya nalang na mag lunch because she said she's hungry. And she's annoyed.

Beca drove to a nearby fast food restaurant. Nag order muna kami ng pagkain bago namin tinanong si Cha kung anong nangyari.

"We had a recit! Same prof kasi siya last year and he checked our knowledge about our past subject!" Nakabusangot ang mukha nito.

"See? That's why I told you to don't go to class on the first day!" Sabi ni Violet.

Napataas ang kilay ko dito, "Tinatamad ka lang."

"Totoo, but I'm also avoiding that. Hirap matawag sa recit pag first week palang kaya, suki ako jan last sem kaya never again!" Napanguso pa ito.

Beca chuckled, "Nakasagot ka ba?"

"Yes, ofcourse!" Sabi niya.

"Oh, ikaw?" Tanong naman nito kay Cha.

"Hindi naman ako natawag." Seryosong sabi nito.

Napakurap kurap ako sa kanya, bakit siya napipikon? Eh hindi naman pala siya natawag?!

"Amputek, hindi ka naman pala natawag. Akala ko naman, hindi ka nakasagot kaya ganyan kapanget mukha mo!" Sabi ni Beca.

I let out a chuckle because of what she said. Mas natawa lang nung sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Cha. Beca covered her mouth and looked away, mukhang kinabahan dahil mukhang badtrip si Cha eh.

"I know the answer. I'm annoyed because I wasn't called. Sayang points."

Napailing ako, "Sana all may nasasagot."

"Umayos ka kasi, Maeve." Sinamaan ako nito ng tingin.

Napanguso ako, "I'm doing well naman ah. No fails pa."

"Wag mo na hintayin. Especially you!" Sabi nito at tinuro pa si Vy na mukhang nagulat dahil nanlaki ang mata nito. "Start taking your studies seriously."

"Saka na, pag may tres na."

"Baka singko mauna sa tres." Sabi ni Beca.

Napailing nalang ako sakanila. I again ate my food. Silang dalawa ay sinesermonan si Violet na halata namang hindi nakikinig. Kasi sunod sunod lang ang kain nito. She's really stubborn.

Magkakaibigan kami simula bata palang, dahil na rin sa business ng mga magulang and they're almost a year older than us. Pero sabay sabay kaming nag aral at nagkasundo sundo.
