[Alexcel Saffron Stone]
'25 pesos, Ma'am.' said the cashier, so I handed her my 50. I scanned the area for a seat, which was easy dahil wala namang masyadong tao. May practice practice pa kasing nalalaman, late naman silang dumadating. Tch. I settled down and played MCR's Na Na Na while waiting.
I checked my Messenger and to my dismay, the FREAKIN' practice is cancelled. Damn! Napilit na nga lang nila ako, sila pa ang may ganang mag-cancel! Di ko nga alam kung paano ko pilitin si Mama na payagan ako eh.
9:16 am
ELLIE : Guys canceld na yung practice (Damn you)
JESSY : LOL paalis na sana ako XD (Buti ka pa)
DARRIL : o# y35 w41an6 pr4c+!c3 (Parang naiintindihan ko sinasabi mo!)
YOU : Nandito na ako eh
ELLIE : Hala? Sorry Alexcel may kailangan kasi akong puntahan (Pake ko sa pupuntahan mo?)
YOU : De ok lang
ELLIE : Talaga? (May magagawa ba ako, biyatch)
YOU : oo
'Okay ka lang, Miss? Got stood by your boyfriend? I can keep you in company, dahr-ling~' Ew. Yuck. Conceited smug-face! Okay sana kung kamukha nya si Gerard Way, kaso... HINDI EH! I rolled my eyes and looked at him eye-to-eye.
'Hmm... Yes. But for correction, it's my GIRLFRIEND.' I lied then gave him a large smile, then he backed out. Psh. Anong masama dun? Oh well, mas maganda nang umalis sya. I decided to stay since it's still hot outside, while taking my time at the store, my former classmate, Clairre entered with my former crush, Aren. She froze when she caught me staring. I flashed a smile to dismiss the awkwardness between us. She sighed, then approached me.
'HEy, I'm glad to see you!' Really? Your tone doesn't tell me much.
'Yeah, long time no see.'
'Uhh.. Si Aren, remember him? He's my boyfriend now.' Like I care? Not so shocking to be honest. They were so sweet back then, so it's pretty expected. Aren waved at me, he's like an idiot. I raised a brow and nodded.
'Expected.' Oops, awkward... ' I mean, you guys are really compatible!' What the fuck am I saying?! 'You should... continue whatever it is your doing, I guess?'
'Oh. Right' It's Aren. 'It's been a while. See you around.' Then they're gone.
Itinuon ko ang pansin ko dun sa lalaking lumapit sa akin kanina. He's with his group of friends na halata naman na kanina pa nakatingin sa akin. The guy awhile back (let's call him smug-face) called one of his friends then give him instructions. The guy (he's now Mr. Errand-dude) disappeared somewhere in the store. I shifted my gaze somewhere outside. To be blunt, ang cheap naman nila Clairre kung dito nila naisipan mag-date. Of all places, sa 7/11 pa! Di man lang ginawang Mcdo or somewhere more decent. Oh well, not my business...
'Pinabibigay ni Claude. Okay lang daw yan, ganyan daw talaga sa pag-ibig... puta, hugot pala yung pinapasabi ng loko. Ahh, basta!' then he placed an ice popsicle on my table with the PostIt that says "Bright things come to the people who smile." What the Fudge? (At talagang sa harap ko pa talaga nag-monologue)
'And this sticky note?'
'Uhh no. That's from me. I mean, you just lost your girlfriend... That's her, right? ... Anyways, bye.' Bastos na bata, kinakausap ko di man lang ako tinitignan! Di ko tuloy nakita ang mukha- wait... Si Clairre? Girlfriend ko? No way!!! Ano ako? Di marunong mamili? The hell? On the other hand, ang corny niya. What's with the PostIt?
