BACK TO SCHOOL
Hindi kami nagkita ng mga Fremenger, o ni Frances nung holiday. Naintindihan ko si Frances, I always do, tsaka yun ang kailangan niyang partner yung maiintindihan sya. He is building his name in the industry at wala akong karapatang hadlangan yun, if it means being his shadow to show my support to him, I'll do that. I also need to do something for myself para naman pantay kaming dalawa, kahit yun lang.
"I'm really sorry." From chat hanggang ngayon dito sa canteen nagso-sorry sya dahil hindi sya nagkaroon ng time.
"Come on... sabi ko naman sayo... It was fine. Craeyan was there." tumingin sya sakin, hindi naman masama pero hindi din ganon kaganda.
"I am thankful for that and besides... you saved his life. Hindi namin alam na ikaw yun." sabi niya. Si Lili lang talaga ang nakakaalam na ako yun and she didn't tell a soul until it was revealed. Pakiramdam ko sobrang liit ng mundo tapos sa amin lang umiikot.
"Anyway, I understand. I always do. Hello, you're Frances... what can we do about it?"
"I know... nagi-guilty lang talaga ako na I wasn't there for you-"
"Kuya. Stop. You're cringy as f-"
"Cana... chill. Frances, chill. Both of you." saway ko sa kanilang dalawa. I can feel them fighting.
"He's too cheesy..." well, I know... and I can handle that... kase syempre gusto ko din ehh AHAHAHA
"Bakit ba?" sabi ni Frances sa kanya. "Palibhasa wala kang boyfriend eh." He's like a kid... so as Cana... sibling things.
"You-" she was about to say something pero hindi niya tinuloy.
"What?" si Frances naman na gustong marinig yung rebutt ni Cana ay na-curious.
"Nothing." sabi na lang nya at tumingin sa cellphone nya.
"Ano??? Sabihin moooo!" Frances said. Sinipa ko nang bahagya yung paa niya. "What?" he asked me. Tinitigan ko lang sya, didn't say a word. "Oh..." see, mare-realize na lang nya yun. He's being out of character. He can do that pag kami-kami lang. He slowly nodded like a child.
"Besides, arguing with Cana is not a good option." I smile saying that. Tumingin sakin si Cana. I just blinked tapos binaling na nya ang attention nya sa phone nya.
Arguing with smart people is a bad thing to do unless they're both smart. Pero in this case, they are being childish. I laughed in my mind seeing the side of these two and they only show it to me.
Tumunog ang cellphone ni Frances. He looked at me with exhaustion. Alam ko na kasunod niyan. Binasa niya kung sino yung nagchat.
"I have to go." sabi niya with sadness on his face.
"It's okay. Take care." If it were only the two of us, he could've kissed me, he pat my back.
"I'll text you." sabi niya sakin.
"Goodluck." sabi ko na lang then let go a sigh after he left. Napatingin naman sakin si Cana.
"What?" Tanong ko.
"Nothing."
Sobrang hectic ng schedule ni Frances tapos ako din, I am entering my 4th year, this is going to be a busy year. In our second semester, I'll be undergoing an internship. Hangga't maaari ina-advance ko na yung iba kong subject para mahabol ko. Hindi naman din ako competitive sa school, as long as pumapasa ako okay na sakin yun... basta hindi ko mapabayaan ang music.
Napatingin ako sa entrance ng canteen tapos nakita ko si Lucille. Kinawayan ko sya, kasama niya si Chrome tsaka si Erylle. Iniwan nya yung dalawa saka pumunta sa upuan namin ni Cana. Tumango lang si Cana sa kanya. Iba kase talaga personality ng isang to, kung ako, hindi ako bagay sa lugar na'to, mas lalo na sya. AHAHA Pero I like that about her kase she's brave.
