After some weeks, we became closer with each other.
Dahil nga sabay-sabay kaming kumakain at umuuwi, at nagkikita rin sa mga classrooms ay mas nagkasundo kaming lahat. It also helped that almost all of us are officers.
Wala rin namang nagyari masyado the past weeks. Dahil libre kami by some weekends, lumalabas kami. Right now, I can say that I actually do have a circle of friends. That’s them.
But somehow, to distract myself and to push myself away from Brennon and my feelings for him, I should meet more. That is why I’m personally excited for the upcoming party.
At isa pa, Dynsil and Brennon got real much closer to each other. May mga usapan silang sila lang ang nakaka-intindi. No one speaks about it in the group, but it is obvious that there is something going on.
“We have exactly nine days left starting today to plan the party. Kasama na doon yung buong preparation and final touches. We are in a tight schedule but we have to make this work.”
Iyan agad ang una kong sinabi pagkasimula namin ng meeting.
“Dynsil, you’ll prepare the program. Coordinate with Sir Ramos dahil siya ang magh-host.”
“Sefi, collect the names of the attendee room-by-room so we can have a head count. Finish it today.”
“Sofia and Patrick Dale, coordinate with the Glee Club Officers. Tell them to prepare one short intermission for the party.”
“Klaio, sumama ka sa kanila and coordinate sa art guild ng club. They are tasked to decorate the hall so calculate their estimated expenses. Find me after that.”
Humarap ako sa apat na representatives na pinatawag ko rin.
“You handle the announcement to your strands. It’s simple. A casual masquerade party by the end of the month. No required uniforms or colors to wear, but a mask that covers only the eye.”
“I’m in-charge for the buffet table, and the live band so I would need to go out. Kung may kailangan kayo, don’t hesitate to call.”
“Do you need a ride?”
Napalingon ako kay Brennon nang magtanong ito. Gayundin ang iba pang nasa loob at ang ilan ay nagkatinginan pa. Siguro ay iniisip nilang totoo ang kumakalat na rumor na kami ng best friend ko. Hindi na lang talaga namin pinapansin ni Brennon iyon kasi sanay na kami.
“Actually, yes.”
Tumango ito.
“Wait for me. I’ll be quick.”
“Use my car!” pahabol pa ni Sefi sa nagmamadaling Brennon na lumalabas at binato pa ang susi ng kotse. Buti ay nasalo niya ito.
Siguro ay bibilisan niya na ang announcement sa classroom nila para makabalik at masamahan ako. Kumilos na rin naman ang iba pagkatapos. Ang naiwan na lang sa loob ng office ay kaming dalawa ni Dynsil na gagawa ng program.
“The program’s a little tricky,” lumapit ako sa kanya na nagsisimula nang mag-type ng program.
“Call me if you need to ask.”
Nginitian niya ako.
“Chill, Isa. Masyado ka nang maraming ginagawa. Leave this to me.”
Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya.
“Thank you.”
“It’s my job, president,” biro pa niya.
“Babalik din ako ka kaagad,” paalam ko sa kanya bago lumabas ng office para bumaba.
