River

The noisy cafeteria annoyed me, or maybe I had other reasons why my head was burning up. We had our private space at the cafeteria, so I went there using our private door.

Nang makarating ako sa cafeteria ay naabutan ko ang mga babae kong kaibigan kasama si Clayton. I stopped dead in my tracks, thinking if I should approach them or not.

Right after I turned to leave, Beatrix called me. "Hey, River."

I had no other choice. Slowly, I turned again and faced them. "Hi," I greeted and joined them on the table.

When I sat, Clayton glanced at me, but he tore his eyes away when our eyes met. Hindi man niya sabihin, ngunit halata sa mga kilos niyang iniiwasan niya ako.

You can't blame him, River. You're an idiot!

"What did he tell you last night when you met him?" asked Thara to Clayton.

He focused his eyes to his food before speaking. "He asked me to go out," he said, and I was quite curious on what they're talking about.

"Anong pinag-uusapan niyo?" tanong ko habang naka-dekwatro sa aking upuan.

"We're talking about Harris," said Alex, which made me gulp. "Teka? Hindi ka ba kakain?"

Napatingin ako sa harapan ko, naalalang hindi pa pala ako naka-order ng pagkain. I waved my hand and a servant came to me. We did have our own servant and own kitchen in our private area at the cafeteria.

"Yes, Sir?" said the servant.

"The usual," I spoke, and I heard the girls continued talking about Harris.

"So what now? Are you going out with Harris?" asked Beatrix.

"Sir, your usual meal is not available right now," said the servant, taking my attention.

"What do you have there?" I asked. My eyes were focused to the servant, but my ears were focused to the girl's topic with Clayton.

"I told him I'm going to message him my answer. Busy rin kasi ako sa trabaho," dinig kong sabi ni Clayton.

"Sir, we have Chicken Parmesan, Buttered Shrimp, Garlic Pork, and Borsin Pork Chops," the servant said.

"Give me Chicken Parmesa," I responded.

"Kung ako sa'yo ay pumayag ka na," sabi ni Thara kay Clayton.

"Oo nga," dagdag pa ni Beatrix. "Minsan lang maging vocal si Harris. It means he really like you."

"Sir," the servant spoke again. "How about your rice? Saffron or Jollof?"

"Saffron," I answered, still focusing on the girl's conversation.
