"Ok po mga coaches! Break po muna tayo."

Hmm... She's awfully quiet.

"Hey, Sarah! Sarah?"

"Yes?"

Yes? I feel that she's not in a good mood at the moment. I wonder why...

"Uhm, you want to grab something to eat?"

"Ah... Ok lang. Busog pa ko."

Then, I heard a rumbling sound. She looked at me, red-faced.

"Is that your tummy?"

"Yes? E ano ngayon?"

Man, she's pissed!

"Hey. Are you ok? You must be hungry."

And grumpy...

"Hey, guys. Let's eat. I'm famished! Apl and I are gonna check out the food at the catering. Wanna join us?"

"Let's go, Sarah."

"Ok lang, hindi ako gutom."

"Liar."

"Sino kaya yung liar...", I heard her whisper.

"I'm sorry? You were saying something?"

I just had to make sure I heard her correctly.

"Ang sabi ko, halika na. Kumaen na tayo. Oo na, gutom na ko."

"Ok..."

I was about to assist her going down from her chair.

"Hindi! Ok na. Kaya kong bumaba."

She is one pissed woman! What's wrong with her?

"Ok... You want to ask your mom to join us?"

"A, oo. Na-text ko na siya. Sige na, mauna na kayo. Hintayin ko pa si Mommy."

"Ay, hindi Bebe. Hintayin ka na namin."

"Ms. Lea wag na po. Gutom na po kayo. Mauna na po kayo."

"Actually, you're right. I am hungry. Bamboo, samahan mo na si Sarah para sure na susunod. Alam mo naman si Bebe, baka mahiya na naman."

"Sure, Lea. No worries."

"Pero Ms. Lea..."

"Ay, sige na. Pumayag ka na. Bamboo, don't let her out of your sight. Baka may umagaw pa. Hahaha"

What are you talking about, Lea???

"Boom Boom Pow, Brother! Hahaha"

Not you, too, Apl!

"You guys must be really hungry. Go! I'll wait for Mommy Divine with Sarah."

"Yeah, do that. Better be on good terms with the parents, especially the mother. Hahaha"

"Ms. Lea! Kayo talaga..."

"What? Ibinilin ka ni Mom mo kay Bamboo, right?"

"Oo nga po e..."

What's with the sarcastic tone, Sarah?

"Hmm... Apl, I sense that something's up. We better leave. Hehehe Besides, I'm really hungry!"

"Sarah?"

"..."

"Hey..."

"..."
