Barkada Night Out (Part 1)

It's already 6:23 in the evening when I reach our tambayan. Hmmm... Nothing changed.

I just stand there for 15 minutes observing how the gang, our barkada stays for years.

Ayun, nakikita ko na yung biruan na pinapangunahan ni JL at Kira , tawanan na parang hindi mga dalaga at binata at hindi mawawala ang pagiging bully ni Chael (pronounce as Kale) ang Varsity player slash Salutatorian since our elementary days.

There I saw the smiling and very adorable faces Aesha Kira, Wensel, Olive, Rheese who have been my best gurl buddies since I forgot. We are popular when we were in High School because of our gang, we the girl group called the ARROW that stands for our initial names.

The boys Immo, Uxces (pronounce as Aksey) Pirro (pronounce as Payro) Dustyn and Chael are known for being the CUPID during those years. That's the start of our gang with the boys, The CUPID ARROW of Saint Mary's Academy.

Hindi pa nila ako napapansin since di pa naman ako actually nagpapakita sa kanila.

I'm hiding on a small wall near our tambayan, when I heard Chael saying ''It's almost 7 and Raynn (pronounce as rayn) isn't here yet. Sigurado ka ba Kira na darating pa yung kaibigan mong laging nang-iindian?''

And that hit me... Yeah, that's true- in a matter of fact, lagi na nga akong hindi nakakasama sa lakad ng barkada because of my duties and dedication of my work. Pero anong magagawa ko, I do appreciate and value my friends but I do love my passion also. I don't want to become irresponsible yet I'm becoming a nobody to my true friends already.

I saw a hint of shock and pain in the faces of Kira,Wensel,Olive and Rheese while the boys Immo, Uxces, Pirro and Dustyn didn't mind what Chael said.

At that moment, I didn't take any chances so I entered the Tambayan. Yeah, I can see their eyes being widened, didn't expect me to come.

Akala nila mang-iindian na naman ako e.

So I greeted them with gladness, '' Hello guys! Akala niyo mang- iindian nanaman ako no? highlighting the word MANG- IINDIAN and looking intently to Chael. At ayun nag-iwas ng tingin. I bet he's guilty.

O, bakit mukhang gulat na gulat kayo guys.? Don't you trust me anymore not to believe that I will surely come this time? I said that trying to hide the pain but my eyes betrayed me as I also stuttered.

Kira's eyes widened more this time, No bez, that's not true. We always trust you. That will not fade no matter what. It's just that we are really expecting you to come this time because you texted me and we are very excited to see you yet you are late. Sorry bez. We didn't mean it that way.

I can understand how they feel about how I am being too reserved with the gang for the past years.

Yeah, I do understand you guys. It's just that it is my fault anyway. Wala akong karapatang magalit o magtampo manlang sa inyo dahil ako naman ang may kasalanan. So no ones' to be blame. Okay???

Wensel interfered, ha-have you h-heard what Chael said a while ago?

Yeah, I was standing behind that wall planning to surprise you b b-but.... I am the one being surprised. But as I have said, I am not mad to anyone of you. I have to accept that because that is the truth. I'm okay and I am very happy to see you. GROUP HUGGGG. I said to the girls that made the boys turn their head on us...

They were really guilty so I asked them to come to us, Are you not going to accompany us in our first ever group hug for this year???

The 4 boys jump with happiness while Chael just stayed at the sofa and playing with his fingers.

I came near and sat beside him, Ayaw mo ba talagang sumali sa group hug?

I see him frown so I assumed, Don't worry Ci I'm not mad at you. What you said is the truth. Sino ba naman ako para magalit diba? Come on Ci, bawal ang Kj sa barkada diba? Are you not happy that I'm here? He just frown even more and stand without looking at me.

Lumapit ako ulit sa barkada and we did,GROUP HUUGGGGGG.

After that sweet moment we did many things to catch up the months we didn't see each other.

Thank you guys for reading...
