A Better World With You

Chapter 15

"¡Eh! ¿Vais a venir? ¡La venta de entradas para el escaparate de Estrellas ya está abierta! (Hey! You guys coming? Ticket Selling for the Estrellas' showcase is already open!)" Kylie exclaimed when she suddenly entered our house together with Kyle and Vielle.

"¡Apuesto a que sí! (You bet I am!)" Julietta yelled with excitement when she heard what Kylie said and came running towards them.

"Sige sige. Bale seven na. Ako, si Kylie, si Kyle, ate Kate, Cyril, Nathan and you." Bilang naman ni Vielle sa mga sasama sa showcase ng Estrellas habang ako naman ay walang gana.

"Ikaw George?" Tanong sa akin ni Kyle nang tumabi ito sa akin sa sofa. Habang ang mga babae naman ay nakikipag-usap kay Julietta.

"I'd love to, but I already have plans on the same day the showcase will be held." I said to him, but he's still not convinced.

"What are you doing on that day?" He asked.

"Well, I'm going with papa and mama to their business anniversary that will be held in Manila." I explained and he frowned when he heard my reason.

"Boring! Skip that thing and enjoy music. You've always been in a formal gathering, hindi ka ba nagsasawa?" Sabi pa nito sa akin at tama nga naman siya. Madalas nga ako pumupunta ng formal gathering nina mama at papa hindi dahil gusto kong makihalubilo sa ibang tao, pero dahil maganda kadalasan ang mga venue na naiisip nila for formal events and I somehow want to get some inspiration for architectural stuff.

Moreover, I just want to explore and see what innovations I can think of to contribute something in our society while traveling. Though, I just come with them if I have lots of time, but if there is none, I just stay at home.

"Nope! Never gonna get tired of it." I answered and just in time, Vielle and Kylie decided to sit with us as they finished talking with Julietta.

"Ikaw George? Sasama ka?" Excited na tanong sa akin ni Vielle. Pero bago pa man ako makasagot ay naunahan ako na ako ni Kyle dahil sa panghihinayang nito na hindi ako makakasama.

I mean, I love to go to my best friend's band showcase in Nuvali, but Julietta is there. I just think my presence there will lead to something worse as there is a possibility that me, Justine, and Julietta can be in one scenario. Much more, Justine seems to be close with me and he's really comfortable flirting with me so I think I'll just give that day for Julietta--who doesn't love my presence--so that she can fully enjoy the showcase.

"Hindi daw!" Kyle said with disappointment the reason why Kylie and Vielle had a frown face while looking at me. However, I just shrugged my shoulder like I was innocent.

"Bakit?!" Tanong sa akin ni Vielle and Kylie na may halong panghihinayang.

"May plano na kasi ako e. Maybe next time if they are having another one?" Sabi ko sa kanila while trying to cheer them up because I don't want to see their disappointed faces.

"She's attending a formal gathering." Kyle said and I think he's trying to find a way to convince the girls to make me come with them and I just chuckled.

"What the F, George! Sa amin ka na lang sumama. Hindi ka naman mag-eenjoy doon." Kylie desperately said, however my mind is already decided.

"Hey guys! Anong pinag-uusapan niyo?" Bigla namang sulpot ni Ate Lori na ngayon ay nakahawak ang mga kamay sa sandalan ng sofa.

"Ate Lori oh! Hindi raw sasama si Nicole sa showcase ng Estrellas." Sabay-sabay nilang sabi at hindi ko mapigilang hindi matawa sa reaksyon dahil mukha silang mga bata nagsusumbong sa kanilang nanay.
