Campus Idiots

Chapter 10: "Friendly" Date

Drix's POV:

It's Saturday, 9 am in the morning.

I'm bored out of my mind right now. -__-

Guess it'd be better if I try contacting my friends. Maybe I could talk to at least one of them. It's so boring being alone in this house!

Maybe I should get a dog.

I took my phone and started jamming my friends' numbers. None of them answered. Si Nicole ang last na tatawagan ko. Sana naman sumagot. -___-

After 4 rings...

Nicole: Hello?

Ooh! Finally!

Me: H-hey! May ginagawa ka?

Nicole: Wala naman. Boring din dito sa bahay eh.

Me: Tell me about it. Tinawagan ko na nga yung iba, pero walang sumasagot. -__-

Nicole: Tulog pa ata yung mga yun. Alam mo na, puyat pa sila dahil sa celebration natin.

Huh. Well, they did make the most of that celebration. No wonder pagod sila. Kami lang ata ni Nicole ang sober kasi di rin naman kami uminom ng sobra.

Nicole: Hey, uh, may alam ka bang maayos na condo unit na pwedeng bilhin?

Me: Uh... Ay oo, meron.

Which reminds me, naghahanap nga pala to ng matitirhan. It so happens na may alam akong medyo malapit sa school. It would only take her a 10-minute drive papuntang school. Conveniently located pa sa mga pasyalan, kaya mukhang makakatulong sa kanya to. :)

Me: Wanna check it out?

Nicole: Sure. Pwede ba ngayon? Kasi boring lang talaga dito ngayon eh.

Me: Okay. I'll pick you up at 11. That good?

Nicole: Okay. :)

And with that, she hung up. I took a shower, got my clothes on, and took time to talk to my sister. it was only 9:35 am. I still got enough time to talk to her.

In a few minutes, she's online.

Kayla: Hello?

Me: Hey, sis!

Kayla: Hi! How's my kuya doing? :D

Me: Ahaha. I'm good! I gotta go at around 10 o'clock.

Kayla: Oh? What for? School work?

Me: No. I have to meet with someone. A friend of mine wants to buy the condo unit we've been trying to sell.

Kayla: Salamat naman at may kukuha na. Ang ganda naman nung lugar ah. Bakit kaya ngayon lang sya nagkabuyer?

Me: Don't know. Well, ang mahalaga eh mabebenta na sya. :)

Kayla: Sino nga pala ang kukuha ng unit?

Me: Yung kaibigan ko. Si Nicole Santos.

When she heard the name, her face became thoughtful.

Kayla: Nicole... Santos? Hmm. That's a familiar name. I think I've heard of that somewhere before.

Oh no. Here comes her weirdness again. She'll start thinking about Nicole's name for the next 30 minutes. This is a side of her that I don't like. When she gets so immersed in thinking of something, you have to leave, or else, you'll end up dying from boredom when she starts to ramble of the facts about the name. -__-

I have to escape. Or Nicole will end up waiting for another hour. -__-

Me: Hey, sis. Uh, I gotta go. I still have to pick her up, you know. It's a 1- hour drive.
