Maloi's POV
"Maloi, can I talk to you?" Stacey came out of nowhere. Mag-isa ako ngayon dito sa theatre room and I'm reviewing some of my notes because exam week is approaching.
"I'm doing something e." I answered, my eyes are still glued on my notes. Hindi ko na maintindihan dahil sa iba na ang tumatakbo sa isip ko.
She didn't answer. She sat next to me at naglapag ng canned soda at isang tub ng blueberry cheesecake sa harap ko. "Eat that. Mikha said you haven't eat your merienda." she told me using her sweet tone. Alam kong ngumiti na naman siya at gustong gusto ko itong lingunin pero pinigilan ko ang sarili ko.
"I'm not hungry." I shortly replied. I'm not in the mood to talk or to socialize right now, mas gusto kong magfocus sa review dahil ayaw kong madismaya ang parents ko. Isa pa, I'm living with my grandparents now. I want to give my all sa lahat ng ginagawa ko.
"In case lang na magutom ka." she still insisted. I took a deep breath and answered without looking at her. "Okay. Thanks."
I'm not mad at her. Wala akong rason para magalit sa kanya at hindi ko kayang magalit kay Stacey. Hindi naman tamang rason na magalit akong sila na ni Lance dahil simula't sapul pa lamang ay alam ko na hahantong sila sa ganoon.
Halata naman kasi.
There's a defeaning silence between us. I pick up a notebook again and started reviewing. I glanced at Stacey and saw her tapping her fingers above the table. Her head is resting to her hands at nakayuko siya sa table. Halatang naiinip na.
"Aubrey." I called her at mabilis pa sa alas kwatro siyang tumingin sa akin. She's waiting for my next sentence. "It's already time. Go back to your class." Utos ko sa kanya. My voice was cold and my face might be emotionless too.
"What about you?" she asked, parang nagdadalawang isip pa.
"I'm excused. I have to prepare our papers for the upcoming theater competition."
"Really? Magpapa excuse nalang din ako!" I went back to my readings without responding to her last statement.
"Is it okay with you?" she asked.
"You don't have to ask me kung ano ba ang dapat at gusto mong gawin, Stacku." The tone of my voice was cold again. Hindi naman ako ganito pero bakit ang hirap magkunwaring hindi ako nasasaktan?
