Girls' Secrets

Chapter 3

Portia's P.O.V.

I am shocked. Yes. Super. Duper.

I know she can clearly see the beautiful blue butterflies surrounding me. And I can see myself also thanks to the mirror in front of me.

I can read her mind. I know what she's thinking right now. Because it's my power. My power is to read someone's mind. I know it's pure fantasy but here I am - no, here we are to prove to you all that it's not.

She's shocked it's written all over her face. And she's thinking if what's my power is all about. I know she's too excited to talk to me but too shocked to approach me. So I guess I will just start the conversation. I'm happy that I already have found someone who is like me. Weird.

Before talking to her, I checked the cubicles first to check if there's other people in here to avoid some stupid mistakes of other leading roles. Pshh. I'm intelligent enough to think first, before doing things that can ruin my life.

After checking the cubicles and locked the door, I immediately start the conversation.

"So, hey. I'm Portia Angelica Abrigo, what's yours? Nice to meet you by the way." I said as I extend my arm to her.

"Uhmm. Hey, hi, hello. My name is Farymel Guarin at kinagagalak ko ding makilala ka." She said as she reached my hand to welcome each other.

"Do I have to speak in Filipino, or not?" I said to her because she's talking in Filipino and I don't wanna be rude. I don't want to brag anything in here. Ok? You know what I'm talking about.

"Oh no. It's okay. I can understand and I can talk in English also but I'm more comfortable using our own language. Sabi kasi ni Dr. Jose Rizal, 'Mahalin mo ang iyong sariling wika kung ayaw mong masabihan na mas malansa pa sa isang isda.' Diba? Pero ok lang naman kung mag-english ka. Basta kung saan ka mas komportable. Oks na oks ako diyan." Ang daldal niya ah. Hahaha

"Haha. My question is too short pero ang haba ng answer mo."

"Siguro ganoon talaga. Parang ang nafi-feel ko kasi ay feel at home ako kasi parang kasama ko ang kadugo ko. Parang alam mo iyon... Uhmm. Ahhh. Ang hirap mag-explain huwag na nga lang. Pero basta alam mo na iyon. Yung parang kahit kakakita at kakakilala lang natin, pero parang ang tagal na nating magkakilala. "

Her words touched my heart. Wala pa akong friend na sinabihan akong parang ka-dugo ko siya. Maybe tama nga ang sinabi niya, feel at home daw kasi ang mga dugo namin. Hahaha. I can tell that she is funny.

"Ahh. Your words are so touching."

"Hahaha. Thank you. Alam mo kailangan na nating lumabas dito at ng hindi tayo ma-late noh? First day of class pa naman." Haha. Oo nga noh? Hindi ko narin napansin.

"Ohh. Yeah right. So sabay na tayo?"

"Sabay na tayo." She answered with a smile.

"Wait Farymel" bago kami umalis may itatanong pa ako sa kanya. "Friends?" That's my question. Of course I want to be her friend because I know we can be close, I just know. Hahaha.

"Friends."

We left the comfort room and go to our room together because we just found out that we are classmates. Yipeyy!!

I know that she's happy right now because she can feel that I'm the only person who will not be jealous of her. She can feel that maybe this time she did found a new friend. A new friend that has a pure intention. Not just a friend who is very good when your facing them and very bad when they're facing your back. And add the fact that she's tired of those kind of people so she's really happy being with me, being with one of her relatives.
