a thread tied to my fingers

"Come on, malapit na umuwi si dad. Don't you have any plans Lex?" Sabi ni Tia sa akin.

I'm not really interested to anything about traveling stuffs. I believe it's more interesting to watch movies on Netflix and eat sweets with a cold weather than travelling, duh.

"How about Coron or something!" She added, that made me look at her.

I rolled my eyes. "Coron? Maldives is a top spot right now, look!" I told her habang nakatingin sa screen ng phone ko.

There are many people than usual kaya sa Coron as I've heard in chikas, and it'll be exhausting just by traveling, kaya kung magttravel ka na lang din, sa malayo na!

"Dad won't let me, Lex." She told me. Oh, her dad was strikto pala in almost everything in her life. Baka magulat pa kami at kasunod namin si tito doon.

"You know what? Pumunta nalang tayo kay Rieze, maybe may mapala pa tayo there!" Sabi ko sa kanya, she agreed naman sa sinabi ko.

"That's a good thing!" She said to me. "But, look at my makeup first, is it good?"

I looked at her. She's beautiful, her singkit eyes complemented her slim but not pointy nose. Her heart shaped lips looks very smooth and shiny, I would've mistaken Tia as a Korean actress if I wasn't her friend. Her skin is glowing too, on a medium beige tone.

Magkapareho kami ng university ni Tia but different yung course, same as Reize pero we use our ways para magkita-kita atleast every other day.

Let's just say Reize is independent and we were coward kaya nasa green school pa din kami since like... we were Seniors? I don't know either. We're too scared to be alone.

I haven't dalaw their school for almost a month dahil si Reize ang lagi sumasalubong sa amin pagkatapos ng class so we see her every weekends. Also, napakalayo nito kaya ewan ko talaga at nakakayanan ng gas ni Rieze yun. Well, she's rich.

Tia also have a cousin who's a basketball player sa fighting maroons kaya we really didn't miss any game there dahil favorite kabardagulan niya yun. Well, me too, and he's studying at the same school as Rieze ever since kaya manonood kami ngayon because he saved us tickets. Loyalista.

"Let's go!" Sabi niya sa akin. "I need to make a banner to make Wright lose motivation pa pala!" She said, pertaining to my cousin.

Papaalis na kami ng pinto sa room niya ng kumuha siya ng pen at malaking cartolina sa cabinet.

"Wag na! Lagot ka pag nakita ka ni Tita niyan, she's watching." Sabi ko, tumango nalang siya at nagbuntong hininga.

Halos lahat ng pag-uusap namin ay tungkol sa maglalaban ngayon, it's Ateneo versus National University kaya madaming manonood for sure.

For sure too, he reserved a lower seat for us dahil ayaw namin ni Tia sa crowded place and madaming kasama na tao, besides, hinahanap nya kami ng ka-fling dahil masyado daw boring ang buhay namin. G na G si Tia at Sabrina, Rieze's closest friend and our friend too, but I'm not finding one pa naman, though I'm at my second year college na.

Nakasakay na kami sa kotse ni Tia and tahimik lang. She's wearing a dark blue square neck top and a skirt, while I'm wearing a simple blue mini fitted dress, to support Wright's "color coding".

Nakababa na kami sa sasakyan at kinuha yung bag namin pareho, it's the same bag we bought from Europe when we went shopping, for quite a La Salle moment! Lol.

"Ma'am sunduin ko daw po kayo bago mag 5 sabi ni Sir, ah." Ani Kuya Zed sa amin sabay alis sa sasakyan para puntahan kami.

Hindi ko mapigilang tumawa dahil sa sinabi niya, pati siya at natatawa din pero nagpipigil lang.
