Angela turns...
"Condolence." Sabi ni Angela kay Tery. At nagnod lang si Tery. Nagiging pink si Angela. I don't know why. Baka naaawa siya kay Tery. It's been two days since Firey's death at hindi ko alam kung makakapag move on pa siya. Nasa school kami ngayon. Niyaya ako ni Angela sa canteen. Well, what can you expect from Angela?
"Ang takaw mo alam mo yun." Reklamo ko sa kanya.
"Hoy parehas lang tayo noh! Kaya nga tayo magkaibigan eh kasi matakaw ka rin. Sabi nga nila, Birds of the same feathers,
Are the same birds!"
"Hahahaha!!" Tawang tawa ako kay Angela. Mali mali yung mga sinasabi. "Ano ba Pig, Mali naman yung sinasabi mo! Ganito yun, tell me who your friends are and I tell you....
.
.
who my friends are!" Pfft. Hindi niya ba alam yung quote na yun? How poor.
Nakahanap kami ng table at nagsimula ng lumamon ang baboy. Ang rawut niya kasing kumain. Ang baboy lang tignan.

"Pero shiriusly shayker, hinshi na kayo pweshe ni Rake tempre." Nagsasalita kasi hindi pa nya lunukin yung kinakain nya.
"Make your voice clear, please."
"OK, OK. What I mean is, nakita mo na yung nangyari kina Firey at Tery." I know what she's going to say. "You can't love him, Cyker. You shouldn't." I feel my throat getting dry.
"What are you talking about?" Pretending that I don't know that she's referring to Rake.
"Ako pang lolokohin mo."
"Aba, hindi ko naman talaga alam na si Rake ang tinutukoy mo ah."
"This is serious Cyker. Umayos ka. Do you like him?" She asked. I gulped my water. This will be a hard talk. "Again, do you like him?"
"I ..don't want.. to. I try--"
"But you do."
"I do." I stare at her, I saw pity in her eyes. This is Angela, I can say what I want. There's no point in hiding. All these days I keep this feeling in myself and I want someone to listen to my thoughts. I'm tired. "I don't know if.. if I'm inlove with him. But I do want him. I want him in the most bone chilling way. In a way that, I couldn't understand. And I don't know if I can stop this."
She holds my hand and squeezes it.
"Cyker, Alam ko yung nararamdaman mo. Look, I loved Victor. You know that. But being with him destroys the both of us. We did love each other, but through that love we ruined each other. So we have nothing to do but let go. Let go." She squeezed my hand harder. "You need to stop now. I'm not a fool para hindi malaman na may gusto rin siya sa'yo. The way he looks at you, the way his eyes light a torch when he talks about you, undeniably, he is falling for you, Cyker."
