OKAY. Katumbas ang salitang "mabuti" na kadalasang sagot kapag tinanong kung ayos lang ako kahit ang totoo, hindi. Mapagtago. Mapag-iwas."

"kinikilig ka nanaman noh?"

Den looks up from her phone, her reddish face being illuminated from the light coming from her iphone. Tiningnan niya si Alyssa ng masama.

"what are you talking about?" Den asks innocently.

Alyssa knows it's because of LA. That pencil looking, no haired basketball player from La Salle. She doesn't understand what Den sees in him. He's not even that hot, may appeal lang siguro because he plays basketball.

Alyssa gives her a "are-you-kidding-me" look. Den rolls her eyes before turning her attention back to her phone. She's always been like this since LA got her number. Always busy with her phone, wala nang time para sa kanya. She's not jealous, she's just sad na Den doesn't have time for her anymore. She doesn't even accompany her on their usual shopping trips anymore kasi parati naalng silang nagde-date ni LA.

"Let's do somethin spontaneous today." alyssa says out of nowhere. Putting her psychology book down on the bed.

"What? It's like 10 in the evening, may exam ka pa sa psych tomorrow. "

"asus you're only saying that because you'd rather stay home and text him." Alyssa pouts, knowing that Den falls for it every time.

"hindi ka bagay." Den laughs.

Why is it that I watch you laugh but I'm the one out of breath? She thinks as she watches Den laughing.

"Let's go naaaaaaa." Alyssa walks over to the other bed and takes Den's phone away from her, she uses her other hand to hold onto her elbow, pulling her away from the bed.

After a while, Den finally gives in.

"Wait lang i need to change, tingnan mo ang suot ko."

Alyssa looks at what she was wearing and tilts her head. Wala namang problema ah, Den was wearing white shorts and a blue team Ateneo t-shirt.

"so?"

"what do you mean so? nakapangbahay lang ako. "

"it's not like pupunta tayo sa mall, gagala lang tayo and find someplace to eat."

"in our pambahay clothes?! Ly, not to be hambog or anything, pero kilala kaya tayo. We can't go out in this."

"oh yes we can, and besides maganda ka naman in anything."

Den smiles, ducking her head kasi nambobola nanaman si Alyssa.

That's why they found themselves at mcdonalds 20 minutes later, Alyssa was happily eating her hamburger while Den was taking a bite out of her chicken fillet. There wasn't a lot of people around so they didn't have to try much to fit in.

"Why so sudden Ly? usually pag may exams ka you always stay at home to study. Even if Kim and Ara ask you to go clubbing eh hindi ka naman pumapayag, so why the sudden change?"

Ly puts her burger down and wipes her mouth with a napkin.

"Wala lang, na miss lang kita. You're always with LA we barely hang out anymore with besh Ella, parang pinagpalit mo na kami eh" Alyssa frowns.

"luh, pinagpalit daw, alam mo namang bestfriends tayo forever."

"alam ko."

"yieeee selos."

"huh?"

"aminin." Den pokes Alyssa's cheek, si Alyssa naman is doing everything in her power to stop Den from touching her.
