Kanina pa nagsasalita iyong babaeng dumating na kini-claim na kapatid daw niya 'tong asungot na toh.
"Ikaw kuya ha. Hindi ka nagsasabi. May girlfriend kana pala. At aba, anong peg niyo at sa kabilaan pa talaga kayo nakaupo. Ano 'yan LQ? Sus kuya ha, ikaw talaga. Hay naku... Nga pala Lalice Meneses is the name." mahabang sabi nito. Bahagya akong natigilan pero nakabawi rin ako agad. Meneses?
"Well sorry to burst your bubble but I'm so gorgeous to be your brother's girlfriend and I don't even know the Devil's name." sabi ko. "Okay... So that was my mistake... Mianhae, I'm really sorry. I'm also sorry for my kuya's stubornness if it bothered you. Anyway, can you tell me your name?" I was surprised to know that she can speak Korean too.
I smiled at her "Gwaenchana, its Ashley... Ashley Kim" Confusion is written all over her face that her jaw literally dropped and it makes me laugh so hard but I tried to keep it in.
"Omo, you can speak Korean. Daebak." she said and covered her mouth. I just smiled at her.
"Since you already know my name, can you please tell me where the cafeteria is?"
"Sure." she said and turned to her 'kuya' "I'm gonna help unnie to the cafeteria." she went to my side "Ajja" and dragged me. Good thing I always bring my wallet and phone with me.
-oOo-
When we entered the cafeteria all eyes shifted to us. I just raised an eyebrow to those people.
We ordered food and chose a nice spot by the windows.
"Anong grade kana unnie?"
"10. Bakit?"
"Wala lang, parehas kayo ni kuya." sabi nito saka nagpout. Aww, kyeopta.
"Bakit? Ikaw ba?"
"9 pa lang ako. Ang bata ko pa kaya." masiglang sabi nito saka sumubo sa pagkain.
"Parehas kayo ng kapatid ko." sabi ko kaya tinignan niya ako ulit.
"Jinjja?"
Bigla namang nag-ring ang phone ko. I immediately fished it out of my pocket only to know that it was my brother who is calling.
"Ow, speaking of." I said to Lalice and answered the call.
"Hey sis, where are you? I'm with Ty right now." I heard him said.
"I'm at the cafeteria with Lalice."
"What? Who's Lalice?"
"Uh, nevermind. Are you going here?" I asked.
"Yeah, wait for us." then he hang up.
I looked at Lalice who is busy eating her sandwich.
"What's your brother's name?" she asked.
"Samuel, why do you ask?"
"Nothing." I just continued eating.
A few moments later my brother arrived with Tyler. Both of them are wearing denim jackets.

"What's with the outfit?" I asked them.
They just both shrugged and sat on our table. Tyler sat beside me while Sam sat beside Lalice.
"So... Who is she?" Samuel asked pointing at Lalice.
"Well she's Lalice, my dormate's sister." I said.
Samuel frowned and said "And by dormate you mean that ugly moron."
"Well my brother is not ugly, he's much more good-looking than the both of you." she said pointing at the two "But I can agree with him being a moron. He's always like that anyway." she continued.
"I agree with you." Tyler said and raised his hand to give Lalice a high-five but the latter just ignored it.
"As I've thought." he whispered to my side "She's also cold like her brother."
Silence broke through us but I didn't mind.
"So what are your names you morons?" Lalice asked breaking the silent atmosphere.
"Tyler Mendez, but for your information I'm not just a moron. I'm a handsome moron" he said correcting her, but she just smiled at him.
"Sebastian Antonio Manuel Earnest Leonardo Kim" sabi ni Sam.
"Ba't ang haba naman ng pangalan mo?" tanong sa kanya ni Lal.
"Tanong mo sa lola ko." sagot ni Sam.
"Hay. Tama na iyan kain na o." pag-aawat ko sa kanila. Baka hindi na sila matapos.
Pagkatapos namin kumain ay nagsibalikan na kami sa aming mga dorms.
Pumasok na ako sa kuwarto ko para makapagpalit ng damit. After kong magpalit I went outside only to see 'The Devil' sleeping in the sofa. Bakit naman siya dito natulog? Ano pang silbi ng kuwarto niya? Tsk.
"Staring is rude." nagulat ako nang magsalita ito.
"What are you? A one year old? Tss." lumakad ako papunta sa kanya "Move over."
"Shiro." pagmamatigas nito.
"Daming alam." Ibinaba ko iyong paa niya saka umupo sa sofa. Nakalimutan ko pa man ding itanong kay Lal kung anong pangalan ng kuya niya.
"Hey. Mind telling me your name?" I asked him.
"In your dreams. Bleh." Binelatan pa ako nito. Ang isip bata naman nito.
"Yah, in my dreams pinapatay na kita ng ilang beses." Sabi ko sa kanya.
Hindi na ito nagsalita at itinuon na lang ang atensyon sa tv. Ganun na lang rin ang ginawa ko kaya lang...
"WHAT THE HELL?!" sigaw ko sa kanya.
"Why are you shouting?!" sigaw din nito sa akin.
"PANONG HINDI AKO SISIGAW ANO IYANG PINAPANOOD MO?!" sigaw ko ulit.
"ARE YOU DUMB, STUPID OR BLIND?! ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? I'M WATCHING A TV SHOW YOU IDIOT!"
"YAH! A TV SHOW FOR BABIES!" Pano ba naman nanonood siya ng Baby First! The hell, diba?!
Naputol ang sigawan naming ng may mag-doorbell sa labas.
"Are you expecting someone?" mukhang kumalma na ito.
"No I'm not. Are you?" tanong ko ulit.
Umiling naman ito "Why don't you open the door and see who it is?" pag-uutos nito sa akin. Automatic naman na napataas kilay ko.
"Yeah right." Sabi ko saka tumayo at pumunta sa pinto para tignan kung sino ang nasa labas.
Pinihit ko ang doorknob at halos mapasigaw pa ako nung malaman ko kung sino iyong bisita ko.
