On Your Side

"YOU okay Yaa? Tamlay mo today."

My gaze shifted toward Yella as she notices me. Nasa cafeteria kaming tatlo ni Chen naglulunch. Hawak ko ang meal plan na binigay ni Yuri, may computation rin 'yun ng calories per food. Ang kaso I think the calories' too much kaya hindi ko sinunod.

I smiled at Yella, nanghihina nga ako, but they didn't need to hear that.

"I'm fine."

"No you're not, ang konti ng kinain mo and may cake oh."

Tinulak niya papunta sa akin ang isang cake, nasa meal plan ko iyun basta maliit lang, but then the calories. Hindi pwede.

"Ayaw mo ng cake?"

Gusto ko actually pero ang naging sagot ko ay

"Ayaw ko."

Nagkatinginan silang dalawa, Chen ate a lot too, ectomorph siya pero may muscle na rin kaunti. Swimming at pagsasayaw ang nakahiligan ni Chen. Yella's on biking but mainly on arts and crafts, she's good in crocheting things. Gifts ang love language ni Yella, kay Chen quality time.

"Feel mo nga forehead niya." Bulong nito kay Chen.

Chen feel my forehead. Pati gilid ng ulo saka yung leeg. Pagkatapos ay bumalik ito sa upuan, umiinit ang katawan ko, parang papalagnat pero parang hindi naman.

"Okay naman siya."

"Sure ka ha?"

I nodded my head. Itutubig ko na lang itong cravings, healthy rin yata ang water theraphy.

"Oo penge water."

Yella was hesitant to give me some water.

"I am okay Yella. I'm on a diet."

"Parang di naman diet 'yan. Hindi ka complete meal, no fruits rin? Really? Who taught you these?"

"Diet to."

"I am not a know-it-all, pero napag aralan ko naman ang Go-Grow-Glow foods noong elementary no. I'm pretty sure ang kinain mo ngayon ay hindi sapat."

"You ate a little too."

"Yeah, but I only do it from time to time, eh ikaw ang konti ng meals mo today oh as in. Kahit breakfast hindi papasa 'yan"

"Oh my gosh I love it—Jameson so gwapo!"

Napalingon kaming tatalo sa mga nag iingay na mga tao sa cafeteria. It was Avi's gymnasts friends, well hindi naman sila lahat gymnast athelete na nagcocompete talaga, they're more like on cheerleading.

All of them are pretty and slim, but apparently, that's all. Their character is poor. Typical mean girls. I have nothing against slim girls, some of my friends are slim, but characters speak a lot. Using your physical assets to make people feel bad about themselves is not just my cup of tea.

Some of them came to me to say hi, I thought they were just being nice only to find out that they went to Chen to invite him to a party. Yella was uncomfortable so she immediately turned it down

"Uhmm it's okay naman if hindi ka sasama Yella eh si Chen naman ang tinatanong namin." Eksena ni Olive

Tumaas lang ang kilay ni Yella bago ni-head to foot si Olive

"Call me Aerikka hindi tayo close, and whatever you're going to do, hindi sasama si Chen we have errands to run during that hour, try your luck next time darling."
