Unfortunate Serendipity

Chapter 4

"Lance!" I quickly turned my gaze towards Gab only to find out that she was smiling like an idiot and running towards me with open arms ready to hug me.

"Whoa,easy Gab. Bakit? " sabi ko aa kanya habang pilit na inilalayo ko siya sa akin mula sa kanyang pagyakap.

"Thank You!" sabi niya na may malaking ngiti sa kanyang labi.

"Thank you for what?"

"For the Lunch! Hindi kasi ako nakapaglunch kanina,buti nalang talaga dumaan ako sa may locker ko't nakita kong nakapatong yun sa itaas non tas may nakasulat na-"

Lunch? Ano?

"Ha? Ano ba ang punagsasabi mo diyan Gab?" I blurted out before I can stop myself.

Napatigil siya sa kanyang pagsasalita't napatitig sa akin. Trying to search for a sign that says I was joking.

"Ha?Anong-?Paanong-?"

"Hindi ako nagpadala ng lunch sa iyo."

A shock expression was visible in her face.

"Hindi pala ikaw yon? Ak- akala ko kasi.." she said while wandering her eyes somewhere except looking at me.

I guess,she was embarassed. Wait, no- She really is embarassed.

"Look, I'm sorry kung inakala mo na ako yung nagpadala ng lunch pero hindi talaga ako iyon Gab.But whoever he or she is,im thankful kasi pinadalhan ka niya."

"Oh okay." she said while slowly bowing her head.

Wait, Is she sad? Of course you idiot!You made her embarassed!

I really don't want to see that lonely little Gabby again.

"Gab?"

I said calling her.

"Hmm?"

"Wanna hang-out with me and eat dinner later?"and with that,she turned around and asked me "where to?"

I smiled,knowing she can't say no when it comes to food and of course, a treat.

"Greenwich."

"Really!? Okay!"there it is,her most lovely jewelry,her smile.

"Okay,I'll call you later?"

"No need, magkita nalang tayo sa tambayan mamaya."

"Sige,if that's what you want."

I turn around facing the other way and caught myself smiling for one reason,I'm excited to eat dinner with her later.
