#DAWDarkBeginnings

I tried to act as normal as possible sa harap nila. Dahil Gelo's acting normal, I tried my best din. Ayoko naman na mapansin niyang apektado ako sa nangyari kahapon. Hindi rin naman kasi maiiwasan na magkasama kami dahil nga we're in the same group of friends.

Mickey and Lav are still bickering while Lucas was busy on his phone like always and Gelo? He's actually talking to me, normally.

"Kamusta naman ang report niyo sa ELS?" He asked.

"Okay naman, kahit medyo mahirap yung topic, we managed." I said.

"Ano ka ba Gelo! Top student yata yan!" Sabi naman ni Lav.

"Yes naman. Proud cousin here." Sabay taas ng kamay si Mickey.

"Proud ka diyan, eh yung pinsan mo matalino ikaw hindi? Psh." Sagot naman ni Lav.

Napailing na lang ako dahil nagsimula nanaman silang magtalo. They're always like that, away ng away but in the end, they're both making us laugh. Ang cute lang tignan.

"I have to go, mag itatransfer lang akong pictures sa Computer doon sa Photo Club office." Paalam ko sa kanila.

"Samahan na kita." Gelo offered.

"No it's okay. Ako na bahala." I smiled as I kindly decline his offer.

Nakita ko naman si Lucas na tumingin sakin pero ibinalik din agad ang atensyon sa phone niya. He's been... quiet. Ever since nung mangyari yung pag-iyak ko, tahimik na ulit si Lucas. He's back to his usual self. And why is that? Hindi ko alam.

I shrugged the thought off at naglakad na ako paalis.

When I entered the office, akala ko walang tao kaya dumiretso na ako sa computer. Pero pagkaupo ko, bigla kong narinig si Greg at si Lia.

"Do I really have to do that?" Tanong ni Lia, almost like whispering.

"Yes! You hate her right? Then help me." Greg was whispering.

"But its.. Its wrong! She might get asdfkdjakaldbdkd..."

Hindi ko na naintindihan pa yung pinag-uusapan nila. They looked like they're in a serious talk and they were arguing kaya I decided na lumabas na lang. Pagkasara ko na pinto, I turned around and was shocked when there was someone standing in front of me.

"Lucas?! Papatayin mo ba ako?" I asked.

"Nope."

"Bakit ka ba andito?" I asked him.

"Wala. Sinundan lang kita. You look... like a mess." Natatawang sabi niya.

"Bakit ang epal mo?" I said then walked first.

Sinundan niya naman ako hanggang sa makaabot kami sa quarters. Kumuha ako ng tubig sa ref at ininom ito pero si Lucas ay nanunuod lang sakin. He's weird! Plus its awkward!!!

"Hi Guys!" Ellie came in with a box of cake with her. She was smilling happily, not knowing Gelo cried because of her.

"Hi." I said, but Lucas stayed still.

"Lucas, I bought your fave cake. Let's eat! Ikaw din Venice, you have to try this. It tastes awesome!" She happily and kindly said.

"Sige.." Mahinang sabi ko habang siya naman ay naglalabas ng mga platito at tinidor. She sliced the cake carefully at isa-isang inabot samin. Nung matapos siya ay umupo siya sa harap ko at ngumiti.

"So, everyone's busy. Luckily andito kayong dalawa!" She said.

"Ellie, please." Lucas moved his slice of cake away from him and walked towards a room.
