Dennise Michelle Lazaro

"I don't care."

I care. Sighing, I stared on the glass wall, watching Alyssa and Kiefer talk with whatever they were talking about. I felt a hand on mine. It was warm and soft, and I knew it was Laura's. Her familiar scent made it's way to my nose, sending me near the edge of frowning. I glared at her.

"I know you hated my perfume, but don't look at me like that! Just be thankful that Im here to accompany you." She's right! Kiefer ruined my small alone time with Dan, "Why are you allowing your boyfriend to have a date with another guy?"

That's one thing I didn't know, Laura figured out that Dan is a guy and not a woman. I never asked her when and whom did she know. What do I care? I trust Alyssa more than her, alam niya or hindi, there's nothing wrong with it. Unless ikalat niya.

"How'd you know?" I asked her anyways.

"Know what?" She asked back.

"That, Alyssa Dan is a guy?"

Her perfect brows raised as she smiled. "I sneaked." Her words came out seductive and I almost slapped her for that. "When she was in the bathroom, peeing?" She said with a question at the end.

I kicked her under the table kaya napangiwi siya sa sakit. She reached to rub her knees whilst laughing. I just glared at her before looking back at where Alyssa was. Her smiles were different, friendlier than before.

"In love ba sila pareho?" I asked most to myself.

Laura stopped from typing, "Alyssa Dan's head over heels in love with you. How'd you say that she's in love with Kiefer?"

"The way she smiles,"

"Preggy thingy ba yan?"-Laura

I snapped my head at Laura. She grinned sheepishly whilst I rolled my eyes.

It was quiet and nice inside Laura's room, kaya hindi ko mapigilang makatulog. I think it was normal for someone who's pregnant to sleep all day. Pero masama naman daw yun, kaya Im trying my best to find something na gagawin ko just to stay awake. Alyssa just don't know how hard it was to deal with my hormones.

"Bawal matulog!"-Laura

"Shut up." I murmured whilst my lips were touching my palm. I rolled my eyes at the back of my eye lids, "Huwag ka ng magsalita, Laura."

"Bakit naman?"-Laura

"Just don't."

She sighed, causing me to finally get my sleep. It was quiet at first but I started to hear Laura, humming. I thought it was a dream. Someone's tapping the back of my head while they were humming softly. She pulled a strand of my hair, creating a painful burnt in my scalp. I knitted my brows and tapped Laura's hand at the back of my head.

I heard her giggling, and to my dismay, I also smiled rather than frown or glare. Her giggles were just too adorable that I wanted to hear over and over again.

"Wake up, Dennise Michelle." She whispered.

I mindlessly nodded, causing me to groan when I bumped my head on the hard glass table. I rubbed the sore part whilst my eyes were still shut.

"Tanga mo talaga minsan."-Laura

"Aren't they finish talking yet?"

"Kanina pa sila tapos." She replied.

I opened my eyes excitedly, looked at Alyssa's room and smiled. Laura just rolled her eyes at me when I jumped off my chair and sleepily walked towards Alyssa's door. I shut the door behind me when I came in.
