Epilogue [2]

OLIVIA

"Olivia, why am I going again? This was supposed to be just for you and your friends."

"You should come because I said so and because I want to introduce you to my friends." I said picking out clothes from my luggage.

"Well now I'm getting nervous." Isaac said facing me.

"Well you shouldn't." I said copying his tone and fixing his shirt. "Plus, they must know who is this lucky guy that I'm going to marry and love forever."

He did a smirky grin. "Fine."

We were on the way to the venue and we were ten minutes late, which is a bit embarassing.

From: Hayley Grace
Hey where are you? People are waiting for the great Olivia Campo. Better be close by.

"Why do you look like throwing up?" Isaac said as he held my hand.

"I'm just nervous."

"You shouldn't."

"Um ma'am? Andito na po tayo." Sabi ng driver at inabot na ni Isaac ang bayad at lumabas na kami.

"Wow." Yun lang nasabi ko dahil sobra ko itong namiss. "I really missed this school so much."

Walang may nagbago, the waiting shed was still there diyan lumapit sa akin si Kurt at hinatid pa ako pauwi. Then as we slowly walked inside nakita ko yung playground at yung bench na inuupuan ko palagi then the basketball court and finally the gym. The whole venue was filled with balloons and streamers with tons of people dancing to disco music then some people caught my eye kagaya nila Jessie at ang mga side bitches niya, sa totoo lang, hindi kami nagbati or whatever pero walang nagbago sa kanila I can see that they are still together at gumanda sila ah, no joke.

"Olivia? Oh my gosh, Olivia Jean Campo. I did not expect seeing you here after how many years." Lumapit sa akin si Yve, ang isang kaibigan ni Jessie. "Akala nga namin patay ka na. Anyways, after all these years we just want to be friends with you. Ayaw na ayaw talaga namin ang magkaroon ng gulo sa atin sadyang ang kapal lang talaga ng mukha ni Jessie." Biglang sinapak siya ni Jessie sa braso. "Ow Jess."

"Okay lang naman sa akin yun, matagal na naman yun na panahon so, friends?" I said and extended an arm which they accepted naman.

"Sino pa pala kasama mo dito?"

"Oh my fiancé, Isaac Drew Johnson."

"Oh hi." Jessie said as she extended her arm and gave him a flirty smile. I can see that he made a huge appeal on Jessie which is unbelievable. "Mauna na kami ha?"

"Your um enemies?" Napatawa ako bigla sa tanong ni Isaac.

"Used to be my enemies but now their my friends."

"Olivia." Biglang lumapit sa akin si Hayley na parang gulat. "Mabuti at andito ka na, tara."

"Wait si Isaac?"

"Oh um. Is it okay if I borrow Olivia just for a while?"

"Sure. I'll just find a table, have fun." He nods at hinatak na ako ni Hayley palayo.

"Teka saan tayo pupunta?" She did not even look at me but instead she continued pulling me away hanggang sa makarating ako sa stage, "What are we doing here?"

"Stay. Don't leave."

"I'm not a dog." She giggled and went up the stage.

"Everybody, listen up. I think you all know who is missing in our batch and I think everybody missed her so much more than I do but I have great news! Who knows who is missing in our batch? Wait, don't answer instead everybody let's give a warm welcome the kikay, maarte, sikat at maganda na batchmate na si Olivia Jean Campo." Biglang may tumulak sa akin mula sa likod kaya napaakyat ako sa stage. Biglang naghiyawan sila nung nakaakyat na ako.
