Donny

Habang nagla-lunch kami last Friday, napansin ko na hindi ako kinakausap ni Billie. She usually talks to me kasi eh, especially she had her Spanish class yesterday andami niyang kinukwento sa'kin about her classmates na trying hard mag-Spanish pero yesterday was different. She never talked to me. Hindi ko alam kung ano na naman kasalanan ko sa kanya, what did I do?

Well, she's a girl Donny. Wala lang siguro siya sa mood. That's impossible. Ang saya-saya niya kaya kahapon panay yung tawanan nila ni Stella, pero hindi niya talaga ako pinapansin. Galit ba s'ya sa akin? Hindi rin eh, nung Friday lang s'ya nakabalik sa school after what happened to her tapos nung Friday ko lang s'ya ulit na kita. We were okay the last time we spoke to each other, nag-usap rin kami about sa friendship namin na wala ng time for each other tapos nag-sorry pa nga ako sa kanya eh. Hays, I don't understand girls. They're so complicated.

"Guys, di muna ako makakasama sa lakad mamaya. Mom wanted me to be home the whole time." Dave informed, the boys and I are having snacks. "Mama's boy is saying no for a late night out tonight." Tino teased while they laugh except for me and Dave. "Stop that, I ain't mama's boy." he said in defense, "Okay, fine. Pero papa's boy." Carlo chuckled then Dave pushed him and all of them laugh, but I didn't.

"Tol, may problema ba?" Tino asked, "Si Billie kasi eh." I mumbled, kainis. "What did she do?" Dave looks intrigued, chismoso niya rin eh noh. "Hindi niya na naman ako kinakausap at hindi ko alam kung bakit." I rant then I continued eating my snack. "Eh bakit mo naman pinoproblema yan? Yung girlfriend mo kaya problemahin mo kasi nakita ko yun kagabi sa Rockwell may kasamang lalake. Alam mo kung ano pa? Nagho-holding hands while walking." Tino chuckled while he takes a sip from his juice, ano daw?

Napatingin kaming lahat kay Tino, tama ba narinig ko? Si Abegail may kasamang iba sa mall? "Sure ka si Abegail talaga yun?" tanong ko, sinisigurado ko lang na hindi ako pagti-tripan nito. "Sa tingin mo ba, gusto kong siraan si Abegail sa'yo? Okay naman sana siya kaso yun nga nahuli ko siya." may point si Tino eh, hindi naman n'ya ako hinahayaang maging tanga eh. "I remember, I have a video pala. Wait." he took his phone out then we watched the video and it was her. It's really her. Natahimik lang ako at patuloy yung pag-uusap nila. What's weird is hindi ako gaano naapektuhan, I was hurt kasi she lied to me pero I wasn't hurt because I saw her with somebody else. Ang weird diba?

"Mabalik nga tayo kay Billie," sulpot ni Dave, ano na naman ba? "May gusto ka ba kay BJ ha, Donny?" tanong ni Dave, bakit ba niya naisipang tanungin yan' eh best friend ko yun. Mga sira ulo. "Hindi naman, bakit ba?" I shrugged, "Kasi napansin ko lang ha, sobrang papansin mo pagnandyan s'ya tapos naiinis ka kapag di s'ya kumikibo sa'yo." grabe siya, binabantayan lahat ng kilos ko. The rest of the boys started teasing me tapos they said they noticed that too. Grabe sila, binabantayan talaga ako.

I told Abegail to meet me at the field sa may bleachers, I wanted to talk to her about what Tino just told me this morning kasi hindi talaga s'ya maalis sa isipan ko. Billie is also in the field because they have training, pero wala pa ring pag-uusap na nagaganap.

"What do you want to talk about?" Abegail puts her phone away as she said it, "You were home last night, right? Hindi ka gumala?" I started, I watched her reaction but I couldn't read it. "Yeah, I was pretty tired so I just stayed at home." she fake smiled at me. I nod slowly letting her lies sink in, "You sure about that?" I frowned then she nodded then smiled at me. "You okay? You don't look good?" she took my hand and held it. Damn I can't handle her lies and fake actions. "Of course I'm not okay, I would be lying if I say I'm okay like what my girlfriend is doing." I'm so disappointed and I don't know what to feel. She looks surprised and kind of scared like something is hunting her, she kept quiet.

"Someone saw you last night at the mall, may kasama kang ibang lalake at nagho-holding daw kayo." I gritted my teeth, qiqil na qiqil ako. "Don't listen to her, she's not telling the truth." she tries to persuade me, wa epek. "It really is you, I saw the video." I said. She? "Wait, you said 'she?' Who is 'she?' What do you mean?" I'm intrigued about the happenings right now, what is she talking about?

"Hindi ba si Billie ang nagkwento sa'yo?" she asked, I'm starting to get confuse now. "Billie knows about this? Since when?" I knitted my brows, she was about to answer but her phone started ringing. "It's mom, I have to go now." she stood up and ran off, "Go run for your lies!" I raised my voice just for her to hear. I'm confused about everything right. I didn't know Billie knows about this, bakit niya hindi sinabi?
