"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong ko kay Iggy.

Lunch break namin and nandito lang naman sya sa pinto ng room namin.

"Waiting for you?"

"Bessy, let's -- oh hi Iggy!" Nakangiting bati dito ni Haze.

"Hi Hazel." Iggy greeted her back with a smile.

Ito namang kaibigan ko, kulang na lang mangisay dito sa tabi ko sa sobrang kilig.

"Ouch ha!" Daing ni Haze ng kurutin ko sya sa braso. "Kapag ito pumasa lag---" pinanlakihan ko sya ng mata "-fine, fine. Tara na! Sabay ka na samin papa Iggy." At kumapit sya sa braso ni Iggy and drag him on the way to the cafeteria.

Napailing na lang ako at sumunod sa kanila.

"Let me help you with those."

Inilayo ko ang tray ko sa kanya. "I can manage." At tumuloy sa paglakad.

"Iggy, help. Ang bigat ng tray ko oh." Haze says with her trying-to-be-cute voice which I found annoying.

Bumalik naman si Iggy to help my friend, ako, lumakad na lang sa table namin.

"Bakit ka ba nandito? Bakit hindi ka kina Calvin sumabay ng lunch?" I asked Iggy pagkaupo pa lang nya sa upuan sa harapan ko.

"Geee..bessy! Bakit ba ang rude mo? Wag ka ngang ganyan kay Iggy, he helped me kaya with my foods." Hazel says while staring dreamily at Iggy who is frowning because of what I said.

"Paano ba naman hindi bibigat yang tray mo eh halos lahat na ata ng putahe sa counter ay binili mo. Jeez Haze, you're not even eating those!" I said irritated and resume eating.

"Eh bakit nagagalit ka?" Nakangusong tanong ni Hazel, si Iggy naman palipat lipat ang tingin saming dalawa.

"Ewan ko sayo. At saka pwede ba wag ka ngang ngumuso, hindi bagay sayo. Mukha kang ewan dyan."

"Ouch na ouch bessy huh. Kaibigan ba talaga kita? Wag mo naman akong pakalaitin lalo na at nandito si papa Iggy." She said dramatically while her hand is on her chest. I rolled my eyes.

"Oi,oi. Anong papa? Binata pa ako huh, saka wala akong natandaan na nakabuntis ako noong bata pa ako para magkaanak ng kasing edad ko." Iggy said frowning.

Nagkatinginan na lang kami ni Hazel and burst out laughing.

"He's so cute Igs." I said habang hinahaplos ang tulog na puting rabbit sa lap ko.

"Glad you like it M. I saw him yesterday sa pet shop while I'm on my way home and naalala kita sa I bought him for you." Nakangiting tugon ni Iggy habang nakatingin din sa rabbit.

"You really bought this just for me?" Pinaningkitan ko sya ng mata.

"Y-yes. Kanino pa ba? Binili ko yan kasi naalala kita when we're at the fair when we saw a rabbit vendor. And this one is safe, I made sure na may vaccine yan."

"Aww, you're so sweet Igs. Thank you. Well, from now on, your name is snowball." I said happily and lifted the rabbit on the air like a baby.

"Snowball?"

"Yeah, you know from Secret Life of Pet's animated cartoon? The cute white rabbit there."

"Never heard of that."

"Aish!" I glare at him. "We'll be watching it later." I said without missing a beat.

Iggy grin. "Of course."
