Cold 》Sandro Marcos

[3]: Weird Looks

Alexander's Point of View;

"Sandro, samahan mo muna ako."

Dad walked in my bedroom. It was 10:30 am that day and I was still half a sleep when he came up to me. I was up all night playing Assasin's Creed. Blame my Xbox.

"Where are we going?" I rubbed my eyes after I sat up.

"Mama Meldy's birthday is coming in two weeks. We already hired an organizer and sinabi na magmimeet kami ngayon. Sa mall." Dad explained.

"So.. you want me to drive you there po?" I asked. "Cass already showed me the way."

"Oo nga. Nabanggit nga sakin ni Simon na nagdate kayo ni Cass kahapon." Dad smiled. "Are you courting her?"

"Dad!" I gave him my what-are-you-talking-about face then he laughed. "I'm not courting her, nor having a date with her. Not even close."

"Okay, Okay. We're leaving in an hour. You can invite your brothers if you want." Dad suggested. "Para naman hindi ka ma-bored."

"It's okay, Dad." I smiled while heading to the bathroom door. "They'll be spending time with Mom and Mama Meldy naman."

When Dad left the room, I started taking a bath. Then got dressed. Because I don't wanna think about what to wear, I just wore one of my red polo shirts and black skinny jeans.

Then I grabbed my wireless beats and went out of the room.

"Tara na, 'nak." Dad gave me a smile when he saw me heading downstairs. Mom and Simon were there too.

"Bye Mom." I smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek. "Hey Simon, you're a loser. Bye!"

Simon just rolled his eyes and waved. While I stuck my tongue at Vincent, who just came downstairs.

"Are we eating lunch at the mall?" I asked Dad and started the ignition. "It's already 11:30."

"Yeah, sure. Where do you want to eat?" I looked at Dad at the rearview mirror, he is already leaning back on his seat.

"You pick now, Dad. I don't want them food poisoning you again."

Dad and I both laughed. When the laughter died down he said-

"I'm craving for Savory Chicken. What do you think?"

"Well, then Savory it is."

-----

Dad's talk with the organizer was much longer than I assumed. So I just sat at one corner, playing with my phone or frolicking around.

"Sandro, son, let's go." Dad called me when him and the organizer stood up. I walked over to him and shoved my phone inside my pocket.

We both looked for the restaurant, and finally saw it near the mall Cass took me to. Buti nalang meron dito. I'm starving.

I looked around the restaurant. It was pretty normal. Nothing special, nothing cool about it. But the atmosphere is cozy, and that's what I like about it.

"Oh, Elizabeth! Nandito pala kayo."

Wait a minute.

I looked over to see Cassandra's Mom, greeting Dad and tapping his back.

Cassandra's mom?! So that means, Cass is also here? Me and my luck nga naman.

"Hi Tita." I greeted Tita Elizabeth the politest way possible and gave her a hug. When we pulled away, I immediately shot daggers at Cass. She did the same thing, and even stuck her tongue out at me.

"...so if you guys are here for lunch, kumain na tayo ng sabay. Don't worry. Ako na bahala sa bill." Dad and Tita Beth are already in a conversation. Then finally, Dad went to the counter.

"So Sandro, how is your vacation so far?" Tita Beth gave me a friendly smile. She is now sitting beside me and Cass infront of me.

"It's really great, Tita." Yeah, it's great. Then you're daughter came into the picture, annoying me and my beautiful life. Does that sound so harsh?

"That's nice to hear. Oh, sige mga anak, I'll just go to the restroom."

The split second Tita Beth stood up, Cass and I were back to the glares. The tension is real.

"Are you stalking me, ha?" I raised an eyebrow at her. "'Cause if you do, you're stalking level is 999."

"Tumigil ka nga. Hindi ka naman hot para i-stalk kita." She retorted.

"You think I'm hot? Yes I am hot. Thank you." I smirked at her.

"Stop calling yourself hot," She scoffed. "The only thing you could turn on is a microwave. Shut up ka nalang Alexander."

"Ha-ha. Very funny." I rolled my eyes and snorted. "I would give you, a nasty look. But I remembered that you always have one, and it's stuck there."

Cass was giving me a sarcastic laugh and about to throw another pun but our parents arrived, The waiters following them.

They served all the food and we prayed. Then started to eat. I think this is gonna be a brunch for me.

"Cass, shrimps oh. Your favorite." I pointed to the tray on my right. "You want?"

Cass gave me a death glare while I try to hold my laughter.

"Tigilan mo ko ah." She said through gritted teeth. "I'll order all the food that has green peas on it and shove it in your mouth."

"Okay. I won't, I won't." I raised both of my hands up and continued eating again.

"The two of you ha, you're giving weird looks at each other. May tinatago ba kayo sa amin?" Tita Beth smiled at the both of us. Cass and I looked at each other then at our parents.

"Po? W-wala po." We chorused.

"Simon told me that these two went to the mall yesterday. Nag-date daw kayo." Dad said. What?! Dad can't move on to what Simon said. Okay Dad, let's play a game. Simon says move on.

What startled me is Cass kicking me in the shin again, which made me look at her.

"Make them stop." She whispered. Her teeth still gritted.

"Dad, Tita. We didn't go on a date. I just brought Cass with me to show me the way. Nothing fancy, we're just friends."

I squeezed Cass' hand under the table to get her attention. She looked at me and then at Dad and Tita.

"Oh. Yes, we're just friends."

Believe it or not, I felt a spark.
