100 Days with my Perfect Boyfriend

Ch. 7: Hide and seek?

I felt something shaking me.

"Hoy gising na!"

Wait! Mag-isa lang naman ako sa bahay ah. Sino ba--

"Hoy Pedro! Gising na!"

It dawned upon me na si Myca lang naman pala yun. Sino pa bang iba ang basta basta na lang papasok sa bahay ko. And besides sila lang naman ni Eubi ang may susi nito.

I grabbed my blanket at nagtalukbong. "It's still early. Magpapa-late ako. Gabi na kaya natapos yung meeting natin!"

"Ah ganun ah!" I heard Myca say when suddenly I felt the world violently spin around me and abruptly, I found myself staring under my bed. That darn Myca pulled my blanket off the bed so natural lang na sumama ako at mahulog. Arggh! What a great day to start my morning!

"Hoy ang sakit nun ah! Ano bang kailangan mo?!"

She just smiled sweetly at me and said, "Good morning, Peter!"

I rolled my eyes at her.

I quickly got up and shot her a glare. Pero she just shook her head.

"Sabi ko na nga ba wala kang pakialam kay Eubi eh."

"What? At bakit naman napunta si Eubi sa usapang ito?"

She rolled her eyes at me. I put my hands on my waist demanding an explanation. She sighed.

"You're so dense, Pete. Kaya nga tayo gabi na umuwi dahil umattend tayo sa meeting di ba?"

I nodded.

"Kaya tayo umattend dahil tayo ang kapalit ni Eubi sa meeting di ba?"

I nodded again.

"Kaya wala si Eubi kasi absent siya kahapon di ba?"

I nodded again.

"Alam mo ba kung bakit absent siya?"

I shook my head.

"What kind of friend are you? See hindi nga natin alam kung bakit bigla na lang umabsent ang bestfriend natin sa trabaho to think that she is a workaholic. Hindi mo man lang maiisip na pumunta sa bahay niya ngayon to check on her. Para malaman kung okay lang ba siya or what." She shook her head at me.

I palmed my forehead. "Crap!" I muttered.

"And feeling ko alam ko na kung bakit siya absent..."

"Bakit?"

Myca looked straight to my eyes seriously.

"Paolo and Bernice are now officially dating."

My jaw dropped to the ground.

That was it. That was enough.

And that was enough to send me running off to the bathroom to do my morning rituals and to send me off driving faster than the usual to Eubi's house.

Sana hindi na namin madatnan ulit ang bahay katulad nung kaka-break lang nilang dalawa ni Paolo. I really hope she is okay.

Ding ding ding~

Tumunog yung doorbell. Red and I both stopped eating at nagkatinginan lang kami.

Sino naman kaya ang dumating eh ang aga-aga pa?

"Eubi, si Myca ito. Kasama ko si Peter."

Oh. My. Gosh.

Bakit nandito sila? Hindi pa ako ready ipakilala si Red sa kanila.
