'Till We Meet Again

Chapter 8

Its Saturday. And we all prepared for the recollection.

Hindi sana ako pupunta at magkunwaring masakit ang ulo ko dahil alam kong mag s-share na naman dun. Kaso dapat makasama daw dito kaya wala na akong choice.

"Mamaya pag-uwi natin may sasabihin ako." Sabi ni Kerri tsaka nauna na siyang umalis ng bahay na sinundan naman na namin.

I don't know but I was suddenly nervous when she said she had something to say.

When we arrived, almost everyone of my classmates was there and it looked like we were the only one they are waiting. Wow mga special ang mga pusakal.

Pinauna ko na silang dalawang pumasok at iihi lang ako sandali.

Ng matapos ay dumiretso na ako at nadatnan ko ang teacher namin ngayon na nagpapakilala ng kanyang sarili dahil ngayon lang siya nakapunta dito upang magturo.

I sat at the end while he was in the other column, sitting in front while listening. I averted my gaze and just focused on the front.

Two hours passed and I was already sleepy when suddenly someone moved the seat next to me. He is Daryll's friend, Frank.

"Jan, pakihilot naman oh." Sabi niya tsaka niya inilahad ang kamay niya sa harap ko para hilotin.

I was about to take his hand when suddenly someone changed seats next to me and another hand took Frank's hand.

I slowly turned around and there it was again, my heart was pounding again.

"Aray, anak ka ng-" pag-igik ni Frank sa paraan ng paghilot ng lalaking ito.

He took Frank's hand back and put his hand on my thigh.

"What am I going to do with that? Spit on it?" I said.

Seryoso lamang ang mukha niyang nakatingin sa harapan.

"Hold it." He said and I slowly grabbed his hand and held it.

"Seloso ampvta." Bulong ni Frank tsaka niya hinarap ang katabi niya at may binulong-bulong dun habang nakatingin sa kamay naming magkahawak.

"Chismoso." Sinampal ko siya sa braso na tinawanan lamang niya.

"Let me pinch your boobies, babe." Bulong niya sa may leeg ko dahilan para manindig ang mga balahibo ko.

"Gago." He just laughed softly.

I took my ballpen and wrote something in his hand. Whatever I was writing there and he just let me do that, whereas before he didn't want his hand to get dirty.

"What's that?" I immediately hid it and didn't show him what I wrote but he was makulit.

"Nothing." I didn't have enough strength to stop him so he saw what I wrote.

Sinulat ko lang naman ang pangalan ng mga taong nagkakagusto sa kanya.

"Fvck. Eww."

"Gago. Kalalaki mong tao, nag e-eww ka."

"Eww naman talaga."

He cleaned his hand and then returned it to my thigh and squeezed it which I only let because I was comfortable with him unlike others who I don't allow to touch me. Unfair right? But nahh.

Suddenly Frank spoke next to me.

"If it's just me, I will wait for the right time for the girl who is destined for me. I won't let her look like she's chasing, because real man don't allow his girl chased after him... Ayokong maghabol, dahil malalaman mo naman kung totoong pag-ibig na ba yung natagpuan mo... Ang pagmamahal ay hindi hinahabol yan kundi hinihintay na mangyari... Pag ako nagmahal, di ako magiging choosy dahil pag ramdam ko ng mahal ko na siya, siya na talaga ang mamahalin ko. If we don't really go all the way, then thank you because I met her..." I was once stuck at what he said.
