Everything Has Changed

Chapter 3

"2 weeks daw tayo doon,"

"Really? Well, that's going to be fun," I said. "Kailan tayo aalis?" I asked.

"Sa Saturday daw," Vana answered.

Me and all of my friends are here in my condo. We're planning to go to the beach, and we all agreed na 2 weeks kami doon. We're just watching movies and eating snacks.

"This Saturday or next week?" I asked.

"Next week daw," Clea said.

"Sino sino ulit mga invited?" Kio asked.

"May tenga ka pero hindi ka nakikinig, what if tanggalin na lang natin 'yan," bara ni Mark sa kanya.

"May utak ka nga, pero hindi mo naman ginagamit, what if tanggalin na lang natin 'yan," sagot ni Kio pabalik.

"Tumigil kayong dalawa, may tenga at utak nga kayo, pero pareho niyo namang hindi ginagamit, what if tanggalin ko kayo sa mundo?" Vana sarcastically said.

"Mga bobo! Kung sinagot niyo sana agad ang tanong, edi sana hindi maingay ngayon!" Sabat ni Clea.

"Mahiya ka sa bibig mo, Clea!" Sumabat na rin si Raze.

Tinutukan ni Clea si Raze ng tinidor. "Itong epal na 'to! Remi, pigilan mo ako!"

"Stop it, pero seriously, sino sino invited?" I asked the same question.

"Tayong lahat, plus sina..." Hindi pa tinuloy ni Kira ang sasabihin niya dahil tinignan niya pa ang iba, parang nanghihingi ng permiso kung sasabihin niya ba o hindi. "Kasama rin sina Sage at Zein... Kung okay lang sa'yo?"

"Oo, like hindi ka naman namin pinipilit,"

"Oo, ikaw bahala haha!"

Weirdo and Zein. Well, they are my friends' friends, so... "Yes, of course, they can come."

"Sigurado ka?" Raze whispered.

"Yes, babe."

It's easy to mind your own business. I could do that, as long as they would do that. It's been weeks, and last week, we went out again and eventually, kasama silang dalawa and that was the first time that I heard her talk, as in talk in a long sentence.

"I'll have fries," she said.

"Are you sure? You haven't-"

"Yes, I know but that's the only food that I want right now," Sage cut Zein off. She couldn't do anything about it so she stood up to order some food. "How about you?"

I was shocked but I didn't make it noticable. This is the first time that she talked to ME. I blinked twice before I answered her.

"What do you mean 'how about me'?"

"Hm... How about you? What do you want to eat?" She asked again, looking right into me.

"I don't want to eat," I said and turned my eyes to my hand that is above the table.

"Is it because Raze isn't here?" She asked again.

I looked directly to her. "It's none of your business."
