Chapter 17: FB (Facebook or Fake Boy)

***

Binuksan ko ang envelope. And as usual parang poetry na naman yung nakasulat.

***

"A man who's determined to prepare a dish,

Surely your worries he will not unleash."

 ***

Can somebody please tell me kung sino ba 'tong taong nagbibigay sa akin ng letter. Impossible talagang si Kenneth. I'm telling you... I-M-P-O-S-I-B-L-E.

Nilapag ko muna yung mga notebooks ko sa study table. Mag-Open muna ako ng facebook at makapagtanong about school updates.

I posted a new status; "What's new in school? Is everything still cool?"

*Lindsay Gonzales commented on your status*

"Nga pala Kath. May long quiz tayo sa Geom tomorrow. Tingnan mo nalang yung sinulat ni @Kenneth Verge sa notebook mo. :"">" (14 likes)

"Wow! Salamat ha? Nai-tag pa si Kenneth. Tsss. =___=" (5 likes)

Grabe naman ang schoolmates ko. Hanggang facebook ba naman eh sinusundan ako at ang mga rumors about me and Kenneth. Kulang nalang eh kumuha ako ng loudspeaker at iannounce sa lahat ang gusto kong sabihin. Kainis!

Speaking of Kenneth, di ko pa sya friend ah? May facebook rin pala 'to. Mai-click nga yung profile nya. I'm going to stalk. No! I mean iv-view ko lang, but I'm not going to add him. Dapat siya mauna. Joke.

I clicked the link. Unfortunately, private ang profile nya. Tch. Wag na lang. I'm not going to add him just because of viewing purposes.

*One new friend request notification*

Kenneth Verge *Confirm**Not Now*

(427 mutual friends)

Gee! Here it goes. Confirmed!

Hayan! Makaka-view na ako sa profile nya. >:D And just so you all know, I'm not stalking. I repeat, I'm not stalking.

Pinuntahan ko kaagad ang profile pictures nya. Grabe lang ang bawat pictures ha? Umaapaw ng likes. Tss! Girls will be girls. Pero patuloy pa din ako sa pagvi-view. Natapos ko na lahat ng nasa album nya na Profile Pictures, time to glide in to his other albums.

Kenneth Verge's Album: My world in L.A

Ayos ang album name ah. Pagka-view ko, nakita ko ang bahay nila sa L.A. Malaki, mala-palasyo. At may nakita din naman ako dun na picture nya na kakaahon lang nya sa pool. Half-naked—I mean, naka-trunks lang siya. Oh my gosh. Ano ba 'tong nakikita ko. Eyesore! Close close close!

Pero bago ko pa mai-close, may nakita akong picture. May kasama siyang girl. And I was surprised, kasi...

Blonde dito si Kenneth. At sobrang kamukang kamuka nya dito si Jake Flynn. Di kaya si Kenneth si Jake? Grabe! Pampasakit lang ng ulo ito. Pero teka, diba si Tricia Savery yung kasama nya? Si Tricia yung sikat din na artista, na love-team ni Jake Flynn. Baka namang posibleng si Jake ay si Kenneth? Grabe! Kung nagkataon, lalayuan ko si Kenneth. Argh!

Magko-comment ako. Tss!

"Kenneth, is this Tricia Savery? Is it possible that you're really Jake Flynn? O.O"

Nai-enter ko na kaagad. Masyado bang straight-forward yung tanong ko? Tch. Di lang talaga ako makapaniwala sa nakita ko. Nag-view pa ako ng ibang pictures. Pictures ni Kenneth or Jake na kasama si Tricia or kung siya talaga yun.

Nagbrowse muna ako homepage ng facebook habang inaantay yung comment ni Kenneth. Tiningnan kung sino ba sa mga nagsend ng friend request ang mga kakilala ko, at nakipag-chat na rin kung kani-kanino.

Mga thirty minutes ko ding inantay yung reply nya. Nakita kong online naman siya. Di kaya walang notification na dumating sa kanya? Or sa akin walang dumating? Nai-view ko ulit yung profile nya, at pumunta sa photos. 

Nakita kong wala na yung album nya na My World in L.A. Bakit nya nai-delete? So, totoo nga yun? Ano ba yan!

I'm going to chat him na...

Katherine Villanueva: Kenneth!

 

Kenneth Verge: What? :)

 

Katherine Villanueva: Why did you delete your album?

 

Kenneth Verge: ...

Okay. Conversation killer. Kainis! Nag-off na ako. Makapag-review nalang sa Geometry. I turned off the computer then sat in front of my study table. Err, ngayon lang ako nakaramdam ng pagkatamad sa harap ng books. Woah. Ang creeper ko talaga.

While flipping the pages of my Geom notebook, a note fell... AGAIN. Ang tyaga naman ng nagbibigay sa akin ng letters. Anytime, anywhere. Next time hindi na siguro ako mabibigla. Hayy.

The letter says;

***

"You look like an angel in every of your angle."

***

Woah. That was epic. I'm completely oblivious. Did someone oblivate my intelligence quotient. Tsk. I finished reviewing at around eight PM. Nag-online ulit ako. Facebook. Tumblr. Twitter. Always those sites nalang. Wala na bang ibang magandang site?

I was scrolling down my facebook homepage nang may makita akong post— wattpad (dot) com. I clicked it since may word na 'pad'. Book worm here, remember?

And I was directed to a profile. What's this wattpad site anyway? I explored more and knew that this is a site for writers and readers. Ayos! Okay, I'll wander here. Nalibang ako ng sobra at nalamang ten PM na pala. Time really flies when you're having fun.

Kinabukasan, mga nagulat classmates ko dahil pumasok na ako. So what am I? Some kind of martian? Parang sandali lang naman nawala eh. Pati ano ba kasing meron?

Nagstart na ang classes. Nasagutan ko na din naman ng maayos ang quiz namin sa Geom. Then the rest of the class before lunch went the usual way. May three classes pa kami after lunch. Kapagod!

"Alright class. Since we're into classic stories. I will require you to present a mini-play." announced Ms. Ramos, our English teacher and as well our adviser.

"Awww!" Sabay sabay na sagot ng mga kaklase ko. I agree dun sa kung ano mang gusto nilang iparating. Mini play is just trouble-some. Tch!

"I'll consider it as your project. Don't try and complain!" Sabi ni ma'am. Natahimik naman kami dahil sa takot. Ang terror kasi nya ah. Then she continued. "I'll be grouping you. And each group will be assigned to a specific story to play." Then she started calling out names. Di ko ka-group si Yna at Lindsay. Kill me now! Tch.

"Then Ms. Villanueva, you're in group three."

Kill me more! Ka-group ko si Kenneth! Ayaw ko naaaaa!

"Now, let's proceed to the stories." Tapos nag-flip na si ma'am ng pages ng book. Sana madali lang yung amin. *cross fingers*

"Group one, Swan in Love by Marcel Proust. Group two, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte."

"And lastly, group three, Romeo and Juliet. The greatest love story ever told."

"WHAT?!" napatayo ako sa kinauupuan ko.

"Is there something wrong?" terror teacher asked. I shook my head at umupo nalang ulit. I guess the play won't be bad kung hindi ako yung magiging Juliet diba? Phew. Then the rest of the time was given to us to plan our play.
