9 : The Prize

Destiny's Game 9

"Ate, you know kanina ka lakad ng lakad diyan. I feel like vomiting." Hindi ko pinansin si Mico and still continued pacing back and forth.

Kung pwede lang sana na lamunin na ako ng lupa, argh! That incident happened earlier was... EMBARRASSING! My Gasoline, ba't ba kasi hindi napunta sa isip ko na period ko ngayon.

"Ate!"

"Will you shut up!" I glared at Mico before sitting at the couch beside him.

"Ano bang problema mo?"

"Wala." I answered. Napatingin ako sa aking cellphone ng mag vibrate ito.

Flare
- Hey Monique, I'm sorry hindi kita naihatid kanina. I did some errands earlier. Don't worry I'll make it up to you tomorrow. Let's call a date?

Napanguso ako sa sinabi niya. Date? Hindi naman masama yun ano?

"It sounds like you and kuya Flare's getting along with each other. Love na ba yan?" Inirapan ko ang magaling kong kapatid sa sinabi niya. "Mukhang natatalo na si kuya Zake." Nanlaki ang mata kong hinarap siya.

"And how the hell do you know Zake!!!???" I blurted out. Seriously??? May lahi bang detective 'tong kapatid ko?

"Secret." Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay saka tumungo sa kusina.

"And when did he started keeping something to me?"

-

As usual for a student, of course papasok ng maaga sa school. Ano pa ba?

"Ang cute niyo kahapon ni Zake. Seems na nagkakaigihan na kayo, don't you think?" Natigil ako sa paglalakad when the curly girl Althea suddenly appear out of nowhere.

"W-what are you saying?" Patay malisya kong tanong. God, noong camp pa siya ganito. Her suspicious look makes me shudder. Nakakapanindig balahibo.

"Tinuring kang totoong kaibigan ni Abby, then what do you give her in return...? Kasulutan? Tsk, beware on what you step miss. Wala ka sa lugar." She gave me a last glance - well last glare rather before taking her different way.

Napabuntong hininga ako. I actually don't plan to do that, I love Abby and I'm not that kind of person to give her betraying in return. I know my limits.

Pagkarating ko sa classroom ay nandoon na si Zake, sitting on his chair and reading somethig.

"Morning." He greeted without glancing at me. I just let out a faint smile before sitting beside him.

I'm glad that despite of what happened in the woods, he still acts civil towards me, he's trying to take off the awkwardness.

"Here..." Kumunot ang noo ko ng may papel siyang binigay sa'kin.

"Assignment, I know you're not able to do that last night." Napangiti ako sa isipan. He's still my assignment saver.

"T-thanks."

"Alleah..."

"It's okay, huwag mo lang ulit uulitin yun. Abby's a friend. Ayokong maging masama sa kanya." I interrupted. "Just act as if that never happened. I still want you to be my friend."
