"Its really nothing." I said on the phone kausap ko si Elias and bago pa ako makapag-bihis ay nag-ring kaagad ang telepono ko. Sinagot ko ito and he's asking me about Kuya Liam nasa social media na ang pictures namin and he said he wanted to confirm dahil ayaw naman niyang makasira ng relationship well if may sisirain siya dahil wala namang namamagitan saamin ni Kuya Liam.

"Are you sure Tiffany?" He asked me still hesitant. "Yes!" I almost shout that not because I'm mad but because I'm frustrated with this issue.

"Im sorry I just really don't wanna ruin any relationship." Humihingi ng tawad ang boses niya saakin I took a deep breath bago siya sagutin. "Elias look at it this way Kuya Liam has been friends with my brother for nine years and I look at him as my brother too."

"But he's not into you, right?" Napapanganga ako sa sinabi niya sa telepono.

"What?! No." I shouted.

"Oh I see thank you for being honest with me Tiffany."

"I won't entertain you if Im in a relationship." I said sincerely and I hear him made a chuckle. "Yeah I know stupid me." Napangiti rin ako sa sinabi niya.

"Are you really in this matter or just a little chitchat with me?" I asked teasingly on the phone. "Well kind of both." Sabay kaming natawa dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Exam is coming this Friday. Goodluck." I bit my lower lip because of what he said. "You too Elias."

"Anyway, after exam do you have anything to do?"

"I still don't know. Bakit?"

"I was thinking of getting to know you even better so..." Hindi niya tinuloy ang sasabihin niya. "Ano nga?" Nabibitin na tanong ko.

"I want to invite you for Dinner." I lost it. Tuluyan na akong napangiti sa sinabi niyang iyon at pinigilan kong mapatili. "I-I check my schedule." I was trying to hide my feelings to him.

"Yeah sure." He said and said his bye before ending the call. Pangiti-ngiti akong nag-bihis ng sarili ko at kinuha ang reviewer ko tsaka bumaba sa likod ng bahay namin. I sat down at the chair sa harapan ng pool namin and read my notes nang tamarin ako ay kinuha ko ang cellphone ko and I started scrolling on my social media account nang makita ko ulit ang rumor namin ni Kuya Liam.

Nakarating na kaya sa kaniya ang rumor na to? Ano kayang reaksyon niya? I bet he doesn't care about it but I must admit we really look like a couple here. A Hollywood millionaire couple lalo na ang larawan sa Pagani Car niya.

Well its just rumor I will give it days and makakalimutan din ito ng mga tao.

"Kumusta ang exam?" Tanong ni Valery right after our exam. Nginitian ko siya giving my satisfied smile. "Its fine."

"Let's go at the Mall. Kailangan ko ng isusuot sa date namin ni Jerome bukas." Yaya niya saakin pumayag naman ako dahil sasabay din naman ako sa kaniya at kailangan ko rin para sa dinner na sinabi ni Elias saakin kanina lang ako nag-confirm sa kaniya.

He will fetch me. "This dress look good on you." Kinuha ko ang hawak niyang dress and itinapat ito saakin while looking at the full body mirror. Napanguso ako. "It's elegant but too much skin."

Namili kami ng mga nagustuhan naming damit we had a discount sa shop dahil lagi na kaming bumibili dito. We head our way to the foodcourt at nag-order ng pagkain she had a beef jerky and I had a pasta.

Valery love eating food at hindisbiya tumataba hindi rin siya nag-gygym but she has the perfect body. "Tiffany."

"Hmm?" I hummed as im chewing my pasta. "Hindi mo pa ba kinokonsider na matuto mag-drive?" Umiling ako sa kaniya. "Nope ayoko."
