'Uy, nag-re-open pala yung Comic Alley dito.' Nasa SM kami ngayon. Everyone looked at Zayne with a large smile plastered on our faces. As if connected through philosophy, all of us seem to be thinking one same thing.
'Tara?' Maeve asked, and everyone nodded in sync as response.
-Comic Alley-
'Jane! King chess piece ni Lelouch oh!' Xel called out, excitedly. She's holding out a keychain from one of the displays. An idea popped into my head, then I grinned at her.
'Why don't you give one to Dwight? As a good luck charm!' She looked at the keychain, thinking about my suggestion.
'Nah.' she shook her head then grinned. 'Wag na sa'kin na lang.' I watched her skipped gleefully to the counter. Tsk, sayang. Kapag nagka-boyfriend 'to, magpapa-party ako. Mark My Words.
Someone put a cap to my head. I spun to my heel, seeing Ervy, grinning so proud of himself. 'Let's buy it!' he said. I pulled the cap down, looking at its design. Happy the Blue Cat from Fairy Tail. I smiled. He bent down to get an eye contact. 'You like it?' I nodded shyly then looked away.
'Bilin nyo na, kung bibilin nyo! Eto oh, yung babae.' Maeve said irritably, tossing a white cap. Ervy straightened his postured and bought us both caps. He gave me the blue one while he's wearing the white one.
'Wear it.' He smiled. I tried my best not to blush— wish I succeeded.
'Yiee~ Kinikilig siyaa~' Zayne teased. I looked at him stoically, with my eyebrows raised.
'I'm not.' Para namang papakita kong kinikilig ako. Tch.
-S F C-
'I already texted Stella that we're eating here.' I informed them.
'Oke.'
Then Dwight came in and he asked if he can join us. I told him yes and he sat down beside Alexcel which is the only vacant one. I started teasing Alexcel by slightly kicking her foot repeatedly. Pinandidilatan niya ako ng mata pero binabalewala ko lang. I just looked at her, trying to look clueless as possible, feigning innocence. Of course it wasn't just me, Stella and Maeve joined the teasing.
'Dwight, gusto daw sana ni Xel yung burger mo, pakagatin mo naman siya! Nahihiya eh..'
'Oh.' Dwight shuffled to his seat. 'Gusto mo ba? Et—'
'NO!!!' Alexcel (who finally reacted) shouted, gathering attention. She blinked, realizing what she did. 'I mean, ayoko na. Busog na ako.' She gestured at her empty plate. 'Punta muna akong CR.'
Tumayo na siya pero natabig niya yung tubig niya at natapon kay Dwight. Dwight stood up in shock while Xel panicked. Due to embarassment and unwanted attention, Alexcel tripped, falling to Dwight. They both fell back to Dwight's seat and accidentally kissed... ON LIPS—
'Jane?' I snapped out of my reverie, and turned my head right. To my surprise, Ervy's face was only an inch away from me! He withdrew his face and faked a cough, while I was frozen in my spot. 'Uhh... Stella just came.'
'Oh. Okay.' I replied, and checked on my friends. Thank heavens! They weren't watching! They saw nothing! Or... not. Stella was grinning to me like a maniac.
'Tapos na ba? Tara?'
'Di ka na ba kakain?' Maeve asked.
'May dala akong lunch eh..'
'Okay. Tara na.'

It's coronatio— no, I mean, today's Dwight's tournament!! I'm excited!! And just FYI, I AM NOT watching Frozen! My brothers were... for the nth time already! I am currently sitting with Jane, Maeve and Stella right now, waiting for the event to start. Though I wished I did give him a keychain. Jane chuckled.
'Ano?! I had no regrets! I like my keychain!'
'Did I say something?' Right. Dang. Sinamaan ko na lang siya ng tingin.
While watching Dwight in his game, I haven't realized that I was gripping Stella's shoulders until she shoved my hands.
'Seriously? Masakit!' She told me and we went back watching. Grabe! Ang ingay ng mga tao dito!
'Can't they just watch quietly? Perkele!!'
'Wow ah. Parang ang tahimik mo noh?' Stella asked. I nodded in a teasing manner and raised my chin. Inirapan lang ako. Bish..
'Nga pala, si Kate, di pinayagan?'
'Hindi, sadly.' sagot ni Maeve. 'Mukhang matatalo si Dwight ah--'
'DI noh! Mananalo siya, mananalo.'
'Paano mananalo ehh ilang beses ng nacheck..' Aba sasa! Nilingon ko kung sino man yung shit na nagsalita at pinanlisikan ko talaga ng mata ang mokong.
'MA-NA-NA-LO SIYA. I bet my life to guarantee it.' sinabi ko yun, emphasizing every word. pinandilatan ko pa siya ng mata.
'Ye. Mananalo talaga si Dwight. Kahit marami ng checks ang nakuha niya, mananalo na siya.' sabi ni Jane na may hawak na notebook at ballpen. Di naman journalist to eh. Ano trip? Tiningnan ko siya na parang nagtatanong, kumibit lang siya. Shete!
'Nasaan pala sila Zayne at Ervy?' tanong ko kay Stella, who's more likely the person to ask. Seryoso si Jane sa panonood eh. Kinibitan rin ako ng balikat! Fuck!
'Bomba si Zayne, may event daw parents niya, kasama siya dapat. Tapos si Ervy...'
'Band practice DAW. Bomba rin.' pagtutuloy ni Jane sa sinasabi ni Maeve. Di man lang niya tinatanggal yung atensyon nya sa game. Ooohhh, I smell LQ. Napangiti ako at binalikan agad ako ni Jane ng masamang tingin. 'Oh. By the way,' tinuro niya yung table kung saan sina Dwight. I was delighted by the turn of events.
'Mananalo na siya!' I said excitedly and went on cheering for Dwight. I chanted his name repeatedly.
'Go DWIGHT! DWIGHT!' Nakisabay na rin ang mga kaibigan ko.
Kalaunan, natapos na ang tournament. And, duh? Syempre si Dwight ang nanalo!
'Uy, uy, di ba sila kuya Lucas yun? Sila yun oh!' sabi ni Maeve, pinapalo pa ako. Ayos din kalabit nito ehh noh? Hampas.
'Yeah. Di ako papayagan kung di sila kasama.' Tango naman sila. 'Tara salubungin natin si Dwight!'
'Geh.' Sagot nila. Tingnan mo to, ang ayos nila kausap! Grabe!
'Oy! Nandaya ka noh?! Sabihin mo na, puta ka!' narinig naming sigaw. Just so you know, nakalabas na kami sa event hall. Nang makalapit na kami sa sigawan, aba! Inaaway si Dwight! Humakbang ako para tulungan siya pero hinawakan ni Stella yung braso ko, same goes with Maeve na hawak naman ni Jane.
'Away ni Dwight to.' Jane warned. pero naman kasi eh! Syempre di lalaban si Dwight! Mabait yan ehh!
'Ano?! Tama ako di ba?! Nandaya ka, gago!' sigaw ulit nung lalaki. He seems familiar, pero mura na lang ata lumalabas sa bibig ng lalaking to! Kapag ako, di nakapagtimpi..
'Wala akong ginawang pandaraya. I won with pure strategy without low tactics, such as cheating. How can you even cheat in chess? Many people were watching.' matikas na sagot ni Dwight. Woaaahh!! Ang cool niya, shete! 'Baka alam mo ... kasi nagawa mo na..?' mapangasar na dagdag ni Dwight. Waaaaahh, ang let down ng height niya, sayang~ (≧∇≦)/
'Nyeta ka pala ehh!' Akmang manununtok yung lalaki kaya agad agad akong kumalas sa hawak ni Stella at kumaripas sa pwesto nila.
'Hoy, Kuya Mura!' sigaw ko.
