"Ch..Christian?" Is he really here o nagddaydream pa rin ako? And why the hell am I stuttering?
"Sabi kasi ni Chin sumabay na daw ako sa inyo. Gusto nya daw makita yung nilalaro ko. Mamaya andito na rin si Ken." Sabi nya habang pinapatay yung psp na hawak nya.
"Sasabay kang maglunch samin?" I asked, bewildered.
"Bawal ba?" He asked, smiling. Ohgahd.
"H..hindi naman. I just.. nevermind." I smiled, para naman di ako magmukhang tanga dito no.
Sakto naman ang pagdating ni Driz, thank goodness, na walang dala kundi yung bag nya.
"Akala ko ba kakain ka?" Tanong ko.
"Kakain nga, andun yung food ko, dala ni Chin at Ken. Sila na daw bahala eh." She shrugged at umupo sa tapat ko.
Tumango nalang ako and distracted myself with my notebook and pen. I love writing, and sometimes, nagdodoodle ako ng maliliit na flowers at butterflies sa gilid ng notebooks ko kapag hindi ako nakikinig sa teacher, its a habit. Christian busied himself sa dala nyang sketch book at colored pens. He's really good at drawing, I tell you. Habang nagsasoundtrip naman si Driz.
Habang busy kami, kinalabit ako ni Driz, and I looked up. She showed me something.. she shot a picture of Christian and me!!
Pinalo ko yung kamay nya, "Why would you do that?! Burahin mo yan bago pa makita ni Christian!" Bulong ko sa kanya.
"Because you look so busy and cute together. Dont worry, hindi ko ipapakita kay Christian. Secret lang. Basta hindi ko idedelete." Bulong nya, habang malaki ang ngisi.
"You better." Sabi ko nalang. Its not actually a big deal for me if you ask, nakakahiya lang kasi kay Christian. Nadamay pa sya sa pangiistolen shot nitong si Driz.
A few minutes later, dumating na rin sina Ken kasama yung pagkain namin.
"Sa wakas!" Sabi ko, kanina pa talaga kumukulo yung tyan ko. Itinabi na namin yung gamit namin at hinayaan si Chin na ibigay sa amin ang kanya kanya naming pagkain.
"Chicken sandwich and Sprite for Chris." Pag abot ni Chin kay Christian. "Oh, Ken, yung Egg sandwich mo oh." She smiled.
Nagorder ako ng Shawarma Rice, with BACON on the side. Dahil favorite ko yun ever since! Hahaha! Then, I have Blue Lemonade. Magddiet na naman ako mamayang dinner nito. Conscious kasi ako sa figure ko eh, alam mo yun? Better be careful than sorry.
Nakakailang man para sakin na kumain na katabi si Christian. It was a one time thing, so better make the most of it. Right? After lunch, nagkakwentuhan pa kami, I got to know a little more of him. Christian even told us a joke, sinasabi namin na corny sya but we were practically laughing our lungs out. Nagkatuwaan kami ng sobra and at that moment, we were closer than we ever were before.
Not bad for a shy girl, right?
