Isla

What a typical uneventful Thursday night. For this lonely girl right here. Stuck in the room alone, contemplating about what to do right now. I was supposed to have our postponed pizza night with Jao, Billie and Nathan earlier but they all had things come up the last minute.

All my roommies are also out. Sofi got a late night exam until 9pm and I couldn't wait for her to have dinner. Jax was with my cousin Evo for some bubba time because apparently we will go to Batangas tomorrow after class. And Lucille is out partying in Java. Like, for real?? It was unexpected of Lu but she has these high maintenance friends in her bloc whom she hangs out with wherever.

And so, dear friends, here I am having wheat bread and tuna spread alone on a party night. Hunger can be appeased, however, boredom cannot.

Bored. Hungry. Tired. Alone. Still Hungry.

I got a notification that someone replied to my tweet. It was Billie.

Bee @billieinjeans
sorry sis @islagirl :( @nathanyup says sorry too. p.s. missing you & @jaoperez here, cafe ella tom?? ;)

I was in the middle of replying to Bee when I heard that generic little pop on Messenger that meant I have a new message. Pop. Pop. Pop. Four messages...and counting.

Let's go get fries

Maria Isabela Villaverde
Oks

Isla girl? More like marupok girl. I felt a teeny bit of guilt knowing I shouldn't go, but...nevermind.

Joachim Perez
Be there in 10

Maria Isabela Villaverde
Okss, text me when you get here or whatever

Joachim Perez
Whatever

Okay, hear me out. I could decline Jao's invitation to get fries since everyone (literally all my roommies) have been making my one sided love a big deal lately. But I am still hungry and I really want fries and we usually play fun games.

To pass the time and stop my guilt, I gave in to watch the latest episode of Suits. Half of the roommies Sofi and Jax got back shortly after. I heard them from the hallway, giggling like high school girls.

"What's so funny?" I asked, laughing at them.

"Sofi skfkgafkglwahaha–" Jax tried to say, but more like laughed. I wanted to strangle her.

"Omigod, Maria Jasmin Laxamana, will you stop laughing and get it over with!" I said, saying her whole name to make a point.

Oh, and yes, Jax and I are both named Maria. Including Sofi and Lucille. Well, kinda. Marie Sofia De Jesus and Mary Lucille Castillo also count. Hence, why we are called the Quatro Marias.

"Nothing. I'm just kidding, girls." Jax smirked.

"Spill it please!" I pleaded. She looked at Sofi, so I did too. Sofi was almost like a cherry tomato because she was either blushing so much or so angry at Jax.
