Perfect Silence (JhoLet)

XII - Sino PinakaPogi?

"I-I'm Calliope."

Jordyn heard the girl in front of her say while she was slightly rubbing her hand that felt an electric current upon shaking this stranger's hand a few seconds ago.

She nodded in response and gave her a shy smile.

"Naramdaman din kaya niya yung kuryente?" she silently told herself.

There was a slight silence between the group all of a sudden and Calliope felt a little self-conscious and nervously tried to adjust her cap to slightly cover her eyes and subconsciously bit her lip not knowing that the girl infront of her was still staring at her with awe.

"Act cool Calliope, hindi ikaw to." she tried motivating herself. 

Before Aubrey could say another word, she heard her best friend's voice from afar and turned around to confirm her suspicion.

Maia: "Aubreyyyy! Nahanap narin namin kayo." she said in a high pitched voiced which drew some attention from some passersby but Maia was never a shy girl at best.

Calliope looked at Maia who was carrying multiple shopping bags on her arms but was holding two SB coffee cups on each hand, beside her was the other girl she saw from the school parking lot who was always with Jordyn which further confirmed that Jordyn was definitely the girl she was looking for all day.

Aubrey: "O buti nahanap nyo itong art supply store na tinext ko sa iyo na katabi lang sa "Sound Machine"." pointing at the music store Calliope was suppose to enter earlier. "Anyway, Si Stevie pala, best friend in Cous. Stevie, meet my girlfriend; Gillian. Her best friends Calliope tsaka Mackenzie. Sila ang pwede maging future classmates mo depende sa section mo. Ay, ito pala si Miguel din, isa sa mga pwede mo rin maging classmate." she smiled apologetically at Miguel for almost forgetting to introduce him in which the boy just nodded and gave her a shy smile showing that it wasn't a big deal.

Calliope got a closer look at the other new girl who was introduced as Stevie; "Best friend pala siya ni Jordyn." she thought.

She was tall, fit and really girly as Calliope predicted earlier. She too was carrying lots of bags and SB drinks just like Maia. She handed one of the drinks to Jordyn in which the girl smiled appreciatively before Stevie came a little closer towards the Intimidating Trio and shook their hands politely along with Miguel.

Stevie: "Hiiii.. Ako si Stevie, kakaenroll ko lang din tulad ni Jordyn. Nice to meet you all."

They all nodded politely at the lively new girl in school who flashed her megawatt smile at them since Stevie has the tendency to become a social butterfly which is quite the contrast from her best friend who prefers to be a wallflower and keep to herself.

Maia: "Hi Kenzie!" she suddenly greeted the ever so chill member of the trio who was snapped off her subtle glance at Aubrey which was unseen by her peers thankfully.

Mackenzie: "Huh?! Uh, hi Maia. Kamusta summer vacation?"

Maia: "Naku, enjoy kami ni Shannen. Dapat next time talaga sama ka saamin. Este, kayo lahat! Dapat may group trip tayo before matapus itong taon na ito. Masmasaya magbonding na marami tayo." she said ecstatically. 

Gill: "Sige, iplan natin iyan. By the way; Hi Maia! Ok lang din kami ni Calliope by the way. Sure ka Maia gusto mo kasama kami? Parang si Kenz lang niyaya mo kanina ah. Siya lang din binati mo." she teased her girlfriend's best friend, knowing from Aubrey that Maia has a "little" crush on Mackenzie.

Maia: "Hi Gilly!" she teased the girl knowing that the name irritates the taller girl as it was to soft and girly for her taste. "Calliope hello! You know how much I miss your smile." she also playfully jabbed the leader of the trio who is always sorting their a flat affect or a intimidating stare towards others but Maia and Aubrey are unfazed by it by now since they are also considered as friends of Calliope. Although not as close as Mackenzie or Gil but she takes care of them at school and shows extra kindness in her own way so they are happy with that.
