Hearts Unmasked And Unbound

Chapter 5

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! tangina, okay lang 'yan, pareho lang naman kayong may band aid sa noo!"

I was just glaring at Leo the whole time that he was teasing me.

"Diba?! Para kayong typical bad boy-" his eyes widened in surprise as I shoved a whole burger into his mouth, effectively silencing him.

"Talk more, and next time, I'll be shoving my fist down your mouth instead." I threatened.

He cough repeatedly as he gave me a glare.

I just shrugged and continued eating my fries. He deserved it, after all. Daming yapping, why not just eat your food, shit head?

Suddenly, I heard a loud noises coming from the students. We're in a cafeteria, why did even expect it to be quiet?

I saw Leo swallowed the burger with the help of water.

He then point at something using his lips. "Bestfriend mo oh!" He teasingly said.

I casually looked at the direction he was pointing at only to see Kyan and his group.

You gotta be kidding me.

The only people I recognized there was Kyan, Primaly and the guy who was with Prim this morning.

My face immediately grimaced. The annoying group. That should be their group name. It fits them perfectly.

But to be fair, let's change it to 'annoying duo'. I feel like I'm being somewhat judgmental by generalizing when I've only interacted with these two.

"Too loud." I complained. "Let's go."

"Agad agad? Gagi, di 'ko pa nga na tapos pag kain ko!"

"Dalhin mo. Eat it in the classroom."

He let out a heavy, exasperated exhale. "Ge." Pilit itong niligpit ang mga gamit niya.

Sad. That's the downside of being friends with me. Tiisin mo!

But before we could even stand up, I felt a arm wrapped around my shoulder.

"Sal, frenny ko!"

I let out a frustrating sigh. That annoying voice.

"Prim, stop calling me with that name." I muttered under my breath, that I think only Prim heard.

She covered her mouth with her other hand. "Opp! Pang ilang pangalan na 'yan, Art?"

Now that I think about it... Sal is a stupid name. Definitely. What did I even eat for me to pick that name?!

"Shut up."

She let out a chuckle. "Aalis na kayo?" She looked at her watch on her left wrist. "Kaka eleven palang, hoy! Samahan n'yo muna kami!"

Yeah, our advisor let us go early today, since our subject teachers haven't discussed anything yet. Puro introduction lang.

"Oo nga, bro. Atat na atat, ano gagawin natin sa room? Mag re-recite ng abcd backward?" Said Leo, urging me.

I let out a frustrating sigh. Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang groupo ni Primaly, then, involuntarily, I glanced at Kyan's direction. He was looking at Prim's arm on my shoulder.

I immediately took Prim's arm from my shoulder. "Fine." I agreed.

"Wow ha? Wala po akong virus, sir!" Prim reacted.

Can't she take the hint? Her boyfriend, or whatever the their status is- is clearly jealous. Jesus.

If I am the one to decide, I will unhesitatingly choose to go into a boring yet peaceful classroom. But then, I'm considering Leo. It feels like I'm preventing him from socializing- something that he truly enjoys. What a great friend I am, right?
