The Hottest Girl in Town (Under Revision)

Part 16

Missing You

"Nixsha! They're here!" mom called out from the kitchen preparing the foods that was being favorably ordered by my friends.

I'm in my room packing clothes which are good for two days. I wasn't able to prepare it last night. Xander and I went bar hopping and it's almost midnight when we decided to get back on our cribs. For he will be leaving the day after tomorrow. We didn't waste a single moment to catch up. After school he'll fetch me and we'll roam around the city's spot 'till it's already time for home. He even joined us for dinner with us and talked with mom just like those same old days.

"Nixsha!" Mom called out again and it was louder than before.

''Coming!" sigaw ko habang dala-dala ang malaking stroller bag na pinaglagyan ko ng mga gamit ko.

We will having this out-of-town escapades. Gusto ko sanang isama si Xander but he needs to spend time with grandma Lily dahil malapit na siyang umalis. Grandma Lily and him needs to catch up things as much as we did. Pagdating ko sa living room ay nakahanda na ang lahat ng niluto ni Mom. I even saw Brook bringing the basket that was being put out by cooked foods. While my pretty-devil-friends were on the sofa with their crossed-legs, wearing shorts summer dress just like what I am wearing right now. Magkaibigan nga talaga kami.

''Hi gals!" bati ko sa kanila.

"What took you so long?" nakataas ang kilay na tanong ni Racka.

"And gawd! Where were you this last few days?" nanliliit ang matang tanong ni Yeshera.

Habang si Athena at Ramleighn naman ay naghihintay lang ng sagot ko. Pero this time, they were crossing their arms on their chest while arching their eyebrows. I smiled guiltily.

''A-ano kasi, nag-bar hopping kami ni Xander kagabi ta's late na ako nakauwi ta's tinamad pa akong magligpit ng mga dadalhin kong gamit kaya medyo natagalan..?" paliwanag ko habang nagbigay ng peace sign.

Hindi pa rin sila gumagalaw at nanatili sa kanilang postura.

"You know, to catch up things." dagdag ko. " At tungkol naman nitong mga nakaraang araw kaya hindi ako nakakasabay sa inyo ay sinusundo kasi ako ni Xander pagkatapos ng klase."

''Do you still have feelings for him?'' tanong ni Shera.

I shook my head.

''Good.'' sabay nilang sabi. At isa-isa silang lumapit sa akin at pinitik ang noo ko. This time ako naman ang nagtaas ng kilay. Pero hindi nila ako pinansin at nagsilabasan na ng bahay habang may pakanta-kanta pang nalalaman. Napailing na lang ako at napahawak sa noo kong pinitik nila. They were weird and I know that. Tsk. Sumunod na ako sa kanila habang bitbit ang bag.

"Goodbye tita! Thanks ng marami sa foods!" paalam ni Shera habang bineso-beso ang mom ko na sinundan ng tatlo.

"You're always welcome gals. Ingat kayo, okay?"

"Yes po tita." sabi nila at sumakay na ng van.

"Hey! Wag niyo munang isara!" sabi ko habang inilang hakbang ang ilang distansiya na natitira sa kinaroroonan nila.

"Oopz! Sorry but it's already occupied." Ngiting-aso na sabi ni Shera.

"Oo nga Nix. Nandito kasi sina Brook eh. Say hi to Nixsha boys.'' nakangiting sabi ni Ramleighn.

"Hi Nix!" sabay nilang bati sa akin.

Pinagtitripan na naman nila ako. Alam ko namang kakasya pa ako eh. Goodness gracious. Ba't ba ako na naman ang nakita nila?
