Glimpse Of Us

CHAPTER 24

Rylie's POV

"Let's all welcome the newlyweds!" I heard Avery announce from the outside.

It's already been a week since our Intrams started. Iba't ibang booth ang pwedeng puntahan, and sports activities to join. Usually, ginaganap for 1 week lang ang Intrams dito. But now, I heard that it will last for 3 weeks. As per the request of most students.

Pinagpasalamat ko na lang talaga at may mga pa booth ngayon. Though nakakapagod, I prefer it more than joining chess and tennis, which are the only two games I play.

"One order of risotto and pesto pasta with crumbled feta cheese on top!" I get the paper that Fin handed me, saka yun dinikit sa top shelf kung saan yung mga orders nakalagay.

Ako ang nagluto nung pasta habang sa risotto naman si Nathan. I'm grateful that he's the one chosen to cook with me. Mabilis kasi syang gumalaw at halatang sanay na sanay sa ginagawa.

"Ang galing mo naman palang magluto, Nate. Pwedeng pwede ng mag asawa." I tease him.

He laugh with what I said. "Ang kaso, yung gusto ko, babae din ang nais." Walang gana nyang sagot habang nakatingin sa iisang direksyon.

Sinundan ko naman yun at nakumpirmang si April pala ang tinitingnan nya. She's currently talking to Yesha, Yashmin's twin.

Ako naman ang napatawa ngayon. Little did he know, April only flirt with girls whenever she's drunk. Halos mag agawan pa nga sila ni Ave tuwing naghahunting ng mga pogi, eh.

In fact, among the four of us. Summer's the only one who confirmed to have a relationship with a woman before. Siguro nung mga second year kami? I'm not sure what's the reason of their breakup, pero nagkabalikan din naman bago magpasukan. Then they broke up again for the second time.

I tap his shoulder, still stifling my laugh. "Where did you even get that assumption that she's onto women?"

"I saw her at Sanctuary before, flirting with a girl. Kulang na lang nga ay maghalikan sila sa harap ko."

Mas lalo akong natawa dahil bukod sa parang nagsusumbong ang tono nya, it was fun hearing where she saw April. Talagang lasing na ang isang yun if he saw her at Sanctuary. It's the name of the bar owned by Summer and where we drank before.

Knowing her, she has a low alcohol tolerance like me pero ang lakas pa rin ng loob uminom.

"Tangina, ayoko na nga, pinagtatawanan mo na ko. Bakit ba kasi ko umamin, sa kaibigan pa nya?" He mumbled under his breath, pero rinig ko naman.

Seryoso ko naman syang binalingan. "April told me before that she wants to marry someone who's good at cooking. Malay natin, ikaw na pala yun."

"Didn't you hear me, Lie? She likes girls. Anong laban ko dun? I can't change her gender preference for love." Nawawalan ng pag asa nyang saad, looking really down right now.

"She's just drunk, Nate. It's her habit to flirt with girls sa tuwing may tama na ang alak sa kanya. But despite that, she's still straight as a ruler. So if I were you, I'll try pursuing her." I genuinely stated then give him a smile.

Mukha naman syang nagulat sa sinabi ko, pero alanganing napakamot na lang sa kanyang batok. "F-Fine, I'll give it a try."

I tap his back, calming his nerves down. Mukha na kasi syang kinabahan kahit ako palang naman ang kaharap.

"Lie, ako naman dyan. Try exploring other booths too." Lapit ni April samin.

Speaking

I automatically look at Nate na ngayon ay naging balisa na. He can't even look at her directly.
