SCENE 2
INT. PAULO ALAMAT INSTITUTE - CAFETERIA
Lunch time, lahat ng mga estudyante bumibili ng pagkain at kumakain. The place is loud and crowded. ACE, VICTOR and MARGO are sitting down at a table, talking.
VICTOR
(filling the silece)
Oh, Margo, kumusta? How you doing?
MARGO
(raises eyebrow)
Eto, sinusubukang kumain. Naiinis
sayo. The usual
ACE
(distracted, may ibang iniisip)
Boisterous laughter is heard. JACK and HIS FRIENDS enter the lunchroom.
ACE
(notices, turns around)
Ang ingay ingay talaga nila dun, oh.
MARGO
(shrugs)
Eh, may iba ka pa bang ine-expect dun
sa mga yun? I mean, ayoko naman sana
silang i-generalize, pero God ang pangit
ng mga ugali nila.
VICTOR
Alam niyo, guys, di ko talaga gets
kung bakit walang may gusto ng
One Direction.
ACE'S POV
Manny enters the room from the other side. Goes to line up for fried chicken.
INSERT - Ace also has fried chicken
BACK TO SCENE
We hear catcalling.
JACK
(gestures for her to come)
Manny! 'Lika nga dito
MANNY
(rolls eyes, looks away, annoyed)
JACK
(offended, starts to walk towards
her)
Ay, ganun? Grabe naman 'to mag-snob
oh. Huy, sige na, sama ka na samin.
At this point, everyone's attention is on the two. The canteen is silent with anticipation. MARGO, VICTOR and ACE look at each other, and start talking in low voices.
VICTOR
Woah, mukhang may naiinis ah.
MARGO
(sighs, rolls eyes)
Eh, as if may bago. Palagi na lang
kasi yang dalawang 'yan, eh. Parang
mga attention-seekers lang.
ACE
Eh kasi naman, yang si Romano na yan,
palagi na lang iniinis si Manny.
MARGO
Like I said, attention seeker.
Biglang may magshu-shush sa tatlo.
EXTRA STUDENT #1
Pssst! Ang ingay niyo, di namin marinig.
MARGO
(rolls eyes, again.)
Chismoso ni ate, oh.
INTERCUT TO MANNY AND JACK
The two are standing face-to-face. Kalma lang ang mukha ni MANNY pero pamatay ang mga mata. She looks like she's ready to kill someone.
MANNY
Ano nanaman ba problema mo, Romano?
Naiinis na ko sayo, eh.
JACK
(holds up his hands)
Woah, calm down. Ini-invite lang
naman sana kita na umupo kasama
namin, eh. Ayoko kasing mag-isa ka
lang umupo. I'm just showing concern.
MANNY
(sighs, and then uses sarcasm)
Well then, thank you sa concern na
pinapakita mo. Pero kaya ko sarili ko,
okay? Now leave.
JACK
(moves closer)
Ay, Manny. You break my heart.
Pagbigyan mo naman ang kaibigan mong-
MANNY kicks him in the balls. JACK groans and falls to the ground.
MANNY
Hindi tayo magkaibigan, Romano.
Wag kang feeling.
MANNY then takes her fried chicken and walks away.
MARGO
(smirking)
Okay, so maybe this is kind of entertaining.
