The Heartstring Grapplers

CHAPTER 10: Girls' Night Out

"Hindi ako ang nahalikan mo. Ung pinsan ko, si Silver."

O__________O

"Love, I told you I'm not lying!" Bigla namang umepal ung manyak sa usapan namin ni Cadence.

"You idiot cousin of mine! I swear if you touch my Lavender again, you'll regret it." Sabi ni bes. Thanks, bes! Go go go! :)

"Whoa whoa, chill couz. Hindi ko naman inaano si Love eh."

"And don't call her Love, you bastard!"

"Silver! Where have you been?" Maya-maya, dumating na ung barkada nung Klein na yun. Nag-fist bump sila.

"Hi Cadence." Sabi nung isang lalaki, ung laging may nakasunod na girl. "Hey, who's here?" He added habang nakatingin saken.

Bigla namang lumapit saken ung manyak at inakbayan ako. Eeewness. I shrugged off his arm. Pero ibinalik nya ulet yon sa balikat ko. Nakakainis! Iba talaga ung presence nya eh, it's too much for me..

"Oh, by the way, she's my Love."

"Love love ka dyan! Lumayo ka nga saken!" Epalogs talaga tong manyak na to eh noh!?

"I'm Thrace. What's your name, pretty girl?" Sabi nung Thrace as he offered me his hand. Suddenly, my eyes flicked towards the direction of the girl na laging nakasunod dun kay Thrace. Now she's looking daggers at me. Great.

"Lavender Lourrin. Lavender na lang." I shook his hand.

“Hello Lavender! I‘m Icon!“ Bigla namang sumingit ung isa. He gave me a playful smile.

"Oh. What a sweet name." Napabalik naman ung tingin ko dun sa Thrace. Nagwink sya saken. Kung nakakasugat ang tingin, kanina pa ako tadtad ng saksak sa mga tingin nung girl na yun na panay sunod dun sa Thrace.

"Back off, dudes." Sabi naman nung Klein na yun habang hinaharangan ako from mula dun sa dalawa. Luh? O_____o

To think na masyado pa syang malapit saken eh. It gives me goosebumps. >______<

"Oops." Was all Thrace said.

“Posessive much?“ Asar naman nung Icon.

"Thrace, wanna go out with me tonight?" Bigla namang nagsalita ung girl na masama ung tingin saken kanina pa.

"I'm sorry, Gneiss. I have plans tonight." Aaah. Gneiss pala name nya. Nalungkot sya sa narinig nya. Awwww. Then the other guy nudged Thrace.

"I think that's a good idea. You must go out with my sister, dude." Aaah. Magkapatid pala ung Icon at ung girl. Oooh. Astiggg. Haha.

"But Icon, I have other plans later." Sagot naman ni Thrace dun sa Icon and to Gneiss he said, "Next time, Gneiss. I promise."

“Thrace.“ He said grudgingly. “It's okay, sis. Why don't you hang out with Cadence and Lavender? Is that fine? Please please please?“ Icon looked at me with a hopeful smile (with matching puppy eyes pa), then to Cadence then to me again. Hmmm. Mejj mabilis sya magbago ng mood ah. Weird. Haha. Since hindi sumagot si Cadence, ako na lang ang sumagot.

"Uhm, oo naman! Sigurado masaya yun!"

"Well, it's settled then." Mukha namang lahat eh okay na sa plano maliban sa isa.

"Teka lang! Anong hang out hang out? Ibig sabihin di ko makakasama si Love?" Umepal na naman tong epal na Klein na to! Ang sarap tirisin netong kutong-lupa na to eh.

"Don‘t mind him, Gneiss. Now move." Icon said. Parang inaasar nya si Klein. Haha. Tama yan! Go go go!

"Tara, Gneiss. I‘m sure magiging masaya yun, diba Cadence?"
