"Kunin mo na receipt te." Marc said to Thea na umiinom ng tubig.

"Bugahan kaya kita ng tubig, kita mong nahihirapan pa akong pakalmahin yong bunganga ko." Thea said kaya napatawa nalang ako.

Kasi naman nag order ng ramen, yon pang maanghang na di niya kayang panindigan. Gaga din eh.

"I'll get it," Sam said kaya nag volunteer nalang ako na samahan siya kasi naiihi din ako eh.

"Sama ako." I said and we both went to the cashier.

"What table po?" Tanong nong babae.

"13 po." I said and she handed us our receipt and Sam got it from her grip.

"8,789 pesos." He said and showed it to me as well.

"Teka, divide ko lang sa ating lahat--"

He cut me off, "Nah, it's good. I'll pay for this."

Eto talaga dahilan bakit ko siya kaibigan, ang panlilibre. Emz. Minsan lang sila nanglilibre--, I mean always siyang nagaalok ng libre pero ako yong humihindi kasi ayokong isipin nila na uportonista ako. Kahit totoo naman, minsan.

"Real ba?" Sabi ko and he just nod his head as he handed his card to the lady. Black card yon mga ti, I can't relate.

"Oksi, thank you. Bathroom muna me." I said and asked the lady the direction and made my way there.

I started walking and nakita ko naman na yong CR ng restaurant. Pumasok ako agad sa isang cubicle kasi naiihi na talaga ako since kanina pa.

"I heard they're dating? That's what Axel said during their practice last time." I overheard someone while umiihi ako.

"Really? That's fast ah, she really has this charm to attract pretty faces." Another voice said.

"I know right. Olivia Martins yan eh. Super mang hatak."

Napatigil ako sa pag zip ng pants ko dahil pangalan ko yon. Or baka iba tas kapangalan ko lang?

"Kaya nga eh, if di lang talaga mataray best friend niyan edi mas maraming magaakong lumapit sa kanya."

"I know right, what if crush din siya ni Bless?" I heard gasps after that question. Muntik akong ma-ihi ulit sa speculation na yon. Mga giatay to sila ay.

"Nah, that's not possible. I can tell from a distance that Concha is straight."

That's right. Mas bet pa nga ni Bless mga books niya eh. As I said before, if Bless could marry her books then she already did na sana.

Ako na talaga yang pinag-uusapan nila, sino pa bang bff ni Blessy na Olivia Martins? Syempre ako na yon.

I decided to just stay inside the cubicle while they talk outside, feel ko nagre retouch lang tong mga to kasi wala naman akong narinig na may pumasok sa kabilang cubicle. Wala na din akong narinig pa na chismis kasi nag change topic na sila, they're currently talking about the upcoming Uni-fest ng school.

When I felt them walking away ay sumunod na din ako palabas, nababanas na tong mga kasama ko for sure.

"Grabe na te, nag jebs ka ba?" Bungad agad ni Marco habang si Thea naman ay nagpupunas nalang ng pawis.

"May chismis kasi sa loob ng cr, nakinig lang akong onti."

"About saan?"

"Sekretong malupit." I said and grab my bag kasi need na namin bumalik ng University.
