I was told he was fine, he was just resting.
I felt relief about the news. Ganon din ang ginagawa ni Lili ngayon, nagpapahinga. Since she's very sick.
"School fest will be this weekend, and I believe that we are settled." Yan ang sabi ni kuya Craeyon. It's in three days. They have decided to make band performances. Sa mga gustong mag-perform na outside the club, tapos highlight ang performances ng music club. I'm part of the all-girls performance, me on the piano of course. We're like event starters since piano and voice lang ang involved. 6 of us, Ako, Lili, Yana, CC, and two others na tahimik lang pero lagi silang nandito sa music club for practice. I believe the other one was being scouted by kuya Craeyon himself, the other one was being scouted by someone from the tech team. Their voices are good tapos alam nila mag harmonize, si Frances naman ang nag-ayos ng arrangement kaya siya yung tumututok talaga samin.
"Just review your things but don't stress out too much. Masama din kase yun before performance. That's all for today, see you on prep day. You are all dismissed." sabi ni kuya. Nagtayuan na yung iba para umalis, ayoko namang makipagsiksikan sa kanila kaya nagpahuli na lang ako ng kaunti.
"Hey you've got plans?" lumapit sakin si Frances to ask that.
"Uhm... music study?" wala naman kase talaga akong gagawin nang iba maliban sa gawing perfect ang performance ko.
"Come on, you're good. Want to have a coffee date with me?" napatingin ako sa kanya bigla... as in coffee date ang sinabi niya? Napalunok ako at napangiti. Hindi ko yun natago. "See, you like the idea."
"Wait... di pwede, looking like that? Baka barilin ako bigla ng fans club mo." pabulong kong sabi sa kanya.
"Grabe ka naman." natawa sya sa sinabi ko, napatingin samin yung ibang members. As if asking how we've become so close kaya lumayo ako sa kanya ng konti. "It's fine."
"Franz..." Lumapit samin si CC.
"May kailangan ka?" he asked politely.
"You have plans?"
"Yeah, I'm actually busy you know that well CC." he said tapos bumaling sakin saka nag-wink. Wow... liar.
"I know, I'm just asking, maybe I can come so you'll have a companion." Why do I feel the secondhand embarrassment for her? I mean... I think he clearly said that he is refusing her. O ako lang yun?
"Thank you, CC for the offer. I'm good." lumapit naman si Yana para ayain somewhere si CC para naman hindi na sya magpumilit, right thing to do.
"I'll wait for you outside. Sa gate," he whispered then he walked away. Natuwa naman ako... well, kinilig. Sinong hindi??? He lied just to be with me. My inner self is screaming but I have to calm down. Huminga ako ng malalim at nagsimula na ring maglakad. Dapat siguro magpalit din ako ng damit since may dala naman akong extra. Kesa naman sa uniform yung susuotin ko diba?
Nagpunta muna ako ng comfort room para magpalit. Nang malapit na ako matapos ay narinig kong may pumasok nang padabog sa comfort room.
"Nakakainis!"
"You're going to throw tantrums because of that?" I can hear my cousin's voice.
"I'm not."
"Well, you are." Oh... she sounded more mature than CC. Pero iba sya pag kaharap nya ang mga kapatid nya at kung sino.
"Nakakainis kase, we heard him... something like coffee date?" oh... narinig pala nila yon?
"It's nothing. Besides, my cousin is just a mere fan, as if magkakagusto sa kanya si Frances?"
