At the fine arts department, start of the school year 2013. RJ sat by the bench with his head down, busy doodling on his sketchpad (or his portfolio, as he calls it). Jerald and Sam just arrived then sat beside RJ.
Jerald: Oh, Don Ed Hardy, kumusta?
Sam: Tara na, Brad, nagutom nako.
RJ: Pwede jan lang tayo sa baba? May class pa kasi ako in one hour.
They all agreed as Sam & Jerald also have classes in one hour. The three have been friends since they were in diapers, their mothers being BFF's. They were born on the same year: the oldest is Sam, RJ next, Jerald is the youngest. They're inseparable. Only in college, RJ took up fine arts, while the two took up engineering.
As they were walking towards the stairs, they were laughing and exchanging banters with each other. When suddenly someone had bumped onto RJ's chest followed by a scattering of colored pencils on the floor. The girl started chasing those that had rolled across the hallway.
RJ: Oh, ssshh, sorry, I'm sorry. Miss...
Jerald: You're Maine, right? Yung friend nila Ryan at Allan?
Sam: Oo siya nga yun.
Maine: Hi. Sorry ha, I really wasn't looking where I was going kasi may hinahanap ako sa bag ko.
Sam: Maine, si RJ nga pala. Paps, si Maine.
The two smiled shyly and said hi to each other.
RJ: May class ka dito sa department?
Maine: Dun sa kabilang department pa, Fashion Design. Sorry, I really have to go, male late na kasi ako.
RJ: Sige, nice to meet you, Maine. See you around.
Maine bade them goodbye and hurriedly went to class.
Jerald: Wow! Pa simple si Pokerson oh. "See you around." Eeeeeee!
Sam: Type mo ba, Paps! May mga friends din siyang magaganda, lalo na yung Patricia. Di ba, Je?
Jerald: Yung Valeen, Pre, ang ganda. Siya na ang poreber ko. Uy ano na? Tulaley ka jan?
RJ: Her eyes, ang ganda ng mata niya.
Jerald: May pa ganyan kana, Brad, ha. Nawala na yata yung gutom mo e.
They ended up talking about their crushes while having lunch.
By 5 PM when his last class ended, he stopped by his friend Mickey's tattoo shop near the university while waiting for Je and Sam's last class to end at 6 PM then they go home together.
Mickey: Uy, RJ! Kumusta college?
RJ: Mick! Okay lang naman first day, so far so good. Wala pa yung ibang prof namin e. Aaahh! Sarap talagang pakinggan ng buzzing sound na yan, nakaka relax. (Referring to the tattoo machine)
Mickey: You want to train here with me? Pansin ko lang interesado ka dito sa ginagawa ko.
RJ (looks at Mickey with wide eyes): Really, Mick?! I'd love to! Dito ako on weekends. I'll show you some of my designs in my portfolio. Thank you for the offer, it really means a lot.
He then received a text message from Sam telling him to meet them at the university's parking lot. He thanked Mickey again and said goodbye and then left.
At the parking lot...
Sam: Ay, Paps RJ, saan ka galing?
RJ: Dun sa shop ni Mickey. He gave me a very irresistible offer, Paps, magtrain daw ako sa kanya. Siyempre pumayag nako, weekends ako punta dun. Siguro sa Sundays mga after lunch nako makakapunta kasi si Mama sasamahan kopa magsimba.
Jerald: E pano yan di na tayo magkakasama lagi niyan?
RJ: Kelan kapa naging clingy? Hahahahah
Jerald: Eeeee, siyempre almost all our lives magkakasama tayo. Kulang nalang pati pag poop natin magkasama tayo e. Medyo nalungkot lang ako na we are growing up na and we have our own lives to live.
Sam: Luh, kelan kapa naging drama actor? Hahahahah
Jerald: Lagi niyo naman akong di sineseryoso. Seryoso ako uy! Ayan si RJ, dream niya talaga ang maging tattoo artist at maka attend sa mga tattoo convention na yan at ma meet yung mga idols niyang magagaling na tattoo artists. Ikaw naman, Sam, gusto mo namang makapunta ng NASA. Ang layo nun, Pre. Ako naman, I just want my music to be heard. Growing up, halos pare pareho naman ang ginagawa natin but we still end up liking different things. At magkakahiwa hiwalay pa rin tayo, nakakalungkot lang.
RJ: Ay shi bunsho nagdadrama. O shege na medyo naiiyak na rin shi kuya, shmile kana ha. Umalish na tayo at ililibre ko nalang kayo ng dinner bago tayo umuwi.
RJ was driving, Sam on the passenger seat, Je at the back.
Sam: Yun oh! Hahahah. Pero seriously, though, thank you for that, Je. Mahal ko kayo, my brothers. Kahit saan tayo mapadpad, walang magbabago satin. Tayo pa rin sila (taps RJ on the shoulder) Ironman, (points to self) Superman aaaaatt (points at Je) Wonderwoman bwahahahahaha.
Jerald: Tangina, Sam. Captain America uy! Ako pa rin pinakagwapo sa inyo.
RJ: Sige, Je, ilang taon monang pinaglalaban yang kagwapuhan na yan.
Jerald: Mag drive kana nga lang! Grabe talaga kayo sakin, lagi niyo akong binu bully. Isusumbong ko kayo sa mga nanay niyo. Woy, yung promise mong dinner ha. Gutom nako.
