Caught in the middle

Chapter 5

"You're here" Tristan's emotion is blank. Hala baka kung anong iniisip niya!

Agad kong hinawi ang kamay ni Tristan na nakikipag-agawan sa jacket at ibinalik ko sakanya ang jacket. Kinuha ko na rin ang towel at tumayo

Malapit na magdilim at ang paalam naming ni Tristan ay bago mag 7. Hindi na rin naman siguro kami lugi kung uuwi na kami ngayon, we can play tomorrow naman

Umihip ang hangin at napahagod ako sa braso ko dahil sa lamig. Nakatayo na ako ngayon sa tabi ni Tristan "It's not what you think Tristan"

Baka kasi iniisip niya na may something sa aming dalawa. Kahit sino ba namang normal iisipin na mayroon ngang namamagitan sa amin dahil sa dikit namin kanina

Hindi naman kasi ako yung tipo ng babaeng assuming pero realistic naman ako. I don't like to sugarcoat things. I want it bold and base on Tristan's look, I know what he's thinking

"Dude" tumayo na rin si Joaquin, hinawi niya ang takas na buhok sa kanyang noo at isinukbit niya ang jacket sa balikat ko. Nanonood lang si Tristan sa ginagawa niya

"Don't do this I can—"

"Manage, I know but let me malamig na and basa ka ng pawis, you might get cough" I let him do it because aside from the fact that he's tall and big, he's also persistent. Wala na akong magawa saka nilalamig ako

He faced Tristan "I was just strolling—"

"In our village?"

"Well, yes" kakamot-kamot siya ng batok "So as I was saying I was just strolling when I saw Trina na pinopormahan nung isang lalaki dito so I went to her and decided to just join her"

"That's right Tristan" I supported. I don't even know why we're even explaining but I feel like we have to

Tristan laughed "Why are you two explaining to me? You look so guilty!"

"tss"

Tristan handed me the bottled water "we should bring water next time, I had to go outside just to buy this sorry if I made you wait"

"No it's okay" I received the water "Thanks"

I tried to open the bottle but I can't, bakit ang tigas nito? Do they intentionally want their consumers suffer? Maybe I should message this company's facebook page or something for this.

Joaquin got the bottle for me "Lakas magbasketball pero di naman marunong magbukas ng bote tss"

He opened the bottle for me, hindi niya binigay yung takip so kinuha ko an then I drink it, when I'm satisfied with what I have drunk, kinuha niya sakin yung bote and siya na yung nagbalik ng takip

I looked at him as he was doing it. It's the first time someone did that to me and it feels good.

"Hay Joaquin, pasikat masyado.Type mo pinsan ko noh?" panunukso ni Tristan. Mabuti nalang nalunok ko na yung tubig kung hindi baka madagdagan yung pawis sa mukha ni Joaquin ng tubig galing sa bunganga ko

"Di niya naman ako type, yung lalaking yun" he pointed the guy na hinamon niya "Yun yung type niya tss" then he pouted like a child and rolled his eyes

So cute

Nasa field kami ngayon for PE class. The guys are doing some exercises while me and my friends are sitting and...

"Look at Gail, she's so thin and flat" Mae laughed at her remark

I took a chip we're hiding between us then ate it "You're so mean, we have Kim here remember? Dahan-dahan lang"
