Until We Meet Again

2

Hiro's

Days had passed and we already preparing for the program we planned last week.

Kumpleto kaming mga SSG officer here at Gymnasium. Nagpapa-lobo ako ng mga balloon katulong ko si Vincent na suot suot na naman ang kanyang seryosong expression.

Habang nagpapalobo ako nakita ko yung Secretary namin na nilalandi yung Auditor namin.

"Hoy, Yohan tantanan mo nga si Xia!" Sigaw ko sakanya.

Seriously at my single face? Nakakawalang respeto.

"Sige, Hiro ikaw na lang lalandiin ko." Nakakalokong wika sakin ni Yohan.

I'm shocked when he suddenly cling his arms on my waist and smelling my neck that give me a shiver down to my spines when his hot breath met my sensitive skin on my neck.

"Yohan.. What are you doing?" I said. I almost stop myself from shuttering because of how nervous I am.

"It wasn't obvious? Flirting with my sexy Hiro." Yohan said while grinning.

Hindi tuloy ako nakasagot. Natulala na lang tuloy ako. Napabalik lang ako sa wisyo ng biglang may nagsalita sa sobrang lamig na parang binalot ng yelo sa sobrang lamig.

"Stop flirting with him, Yohan. Focus on what we assigned you." Mas malamig pa sa yelo na wika ni Vincent na siyang kina nguso ni Yohan.

Walang nagawa si Yohan kundi ang umalis sa tabi ko. Napa ismid na lang tuloy ako dahil kay Vincent. I know it is annoying with him. But he don't need to say that. I can protect myself afterall.

I just focused myself preparing this event so I didn't speak even my co SSG officer was chaotic except, Vincent. He is so untouchable.

But One week ago he was so makulit. Pero pagkatapos nun di na ulit yun nangyari. Nakakainis! I should put that on my calendar because that's the first time we had a normal talked. Without bickering on each other. It really annoyed me though.

Hours had passed and we already done preparing for the program tomorrow. And when I look at my watch it's already break time.

"Let's take a break. Thanks for corporation with us!" I said as I start walking away and get my phone to my pocket.

I saw a message on Charles that they are waiting me on the cafeteria. I immediately walk away.

Not too long when I finally at the cafeteria. I saw Lance and Charles talking something and there's already a food on the table. So I immediately go there.

"Hey, guys!" I said while panting. Hinihingal na saad ko at umupo sa tabi ni Charles.

"Bakit ngayon ka lang?" Charles asked me. As usual his eye brow are furrowed, what's new on him?

I just rolled my eyes and take a sip on the strawberry shake before I speak. "Ngayon lang kasi natapos yung pag-aayos namin for the program tomorrow." I said and they just nodded.

"Nabwibwisit na ako kay Nish!" Saad ni Charles kaya pareho kaming napatingin kay Charles na nagtataka.

"Huh? Bakit? Ano bang nangyari?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Lance sakanya.

"Eh diba nga member siya ng Art Club! And we both nominated as President and Vice President! I'm the Vice and he is my President!" Saad ni Charles na halatang naiinis na.

Napatawa na lang kami ni Lance at umiling pa. We are listening on Charles rants while we both eating.

He keep telling us how Nish make his blood boil. How Nish teasing him. It seems like Charles want to stab a fork on Nish.

While he was busy ranting about Nish. I felt some presence behind us. I immediately look at my back and my jaw almost dropped when I saw him.

Nish, Austin, Vincent, and Kuya Ash.

Story time.

Si Nish ay ex ni Charles I don't know what's the reason why they broke up and I don't want to ask that though. Ayokong maging chismoso. And besides I don't want to invalidate their personal lives. If Charles want to tell us then go ahead. And if not then don't. We are not forcing him to tell.

Kuya Ash. He is the fiance of Lance. I mean not totally kasi forced marriage. Lance's parents and Kuya Ash's parents are closed so they arranged them. But they also bickering on each other because since we are a kid Lance and Kuya Ash was a enemy. Academic rival to be exact. Pero alam ko namang sa huli magiging sila pa rin so, ayun wala ding kwenta yung arranged na yan.

Si Austin. Ewan ko, wala naman kasi ako alam about sakanya eh. Pero ang alam ko is may something sakanila ni Sam. One of my friend and Kuya Ash younger sister. Di ako sure pero yun kasi yung naririnig ko kila Charles minsan kasi fake news lahat ng nasasagap ni Charles.

Kaya mahirap ng maniwala sa mga pinagsasabi nitong si Charles!

Bago ko pa maintroduce si Vincent eh, bigla na lang ako na balik sa reyalidad ng batukan ako ni Lance. Yung batok na halos masubsub na yung muka ko sa lapag. Naiinis kong tiningan si Lance.

"Ano ba! Ano bang-"

Lance pout like pointing something and I feel Charles are not besides me anymore so I look up and I saw Charles holding Nish collar and his friend didn't do anything! And even Vincent!

Fuck! Nagmamadali ako tumayo at pumagitna sakanila.

Magagamit ko na yung pagiging SSG President ko kaso sa kaibigan ko pa. Dibale na!

"What happened?" I coldly asked both of them pero walang sumasagot.

"Mr. Mendez and Mr. Dela Cruz, what happened?" I said. Inuubos talaga nila pasensya ko ah kasi walang sumagot.

"Go to the SSG Office now!" I yelled but my voice didn't recognize anymore because my voice was already cold and my facial expression changed.

I didn't wait to say anything as I start walking away. I can feel their presence behind me but I didn't bother to look.

When we reached the SSG office, I open that and turn on the AC good thing that my co SSG wasn't here.

"Mr. Mendez and Mr. Dela Cruz. Sit." I ordered and they immediately obey. They sit in front of the table of SSG President. "Explain."

"Eh kasi Hiro-"

"Call me President or Pres, Mr. Mendez."

"Alright." Charles said as he cleared his throat. "Eh, kasi Pres, Nish keep annoying me. Kesyo daw ganto. Edi putangina! Siya na magaling! Di kasi marunong tumanggap ng pagkakamali!"
Napa-irap na lang ako tumingin kay Nish at I give him a sign to hear what his side.

"President. Why would I stop teasing him. Eh he lost and broke my favorite art materials."

"Aksidente nga kasi yun! Di mo ba alam yung salitang 'Aksidente'?"

"Enough!" I yelled and stop them to arguing. I can feel that they want to punch each other.

"Vincent! Aren't you helping? You are the SSG Vice President!"

"But you are the President." Sagot sakin ni Vincent which make me glare at him.

I didn't say anything as I rolled my eyes back at him.
