I waved my hand then smile to everyone I know.
It's the first day of school. I am now on my last year at senior high. Next year, I'll be on my college. And I am excited for that.
Tristan's a graduating student. He's taking Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in the University of the Philippines. He said that he wants to teach in college after graduating.
Our relationship is going well. Ang wala lang naman sa amin ay ang label.
"Casey!" Skipper called my attention.
He has this huge grin on his face. And I know what's that for.
"Hey," I smiled at him.
He proudly wrapped an arm around Dax.
Darlene Aiyana, or Dax as we fondly call her, is Skipper's apple of the eye. Ang alam ko ay last year pa nanliligaw si Skipper kay Dax.
"Meet my girlfriend," Kipp proudly said.
My lips automatically formed a big smile. "Wow! Congratulations!" I said as I hugged my cousin.
Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng naging balita sa kanila n'ong summer. Nagbakasyon kasi ang buong pamilya namin sa iba't ibang bansa. Higit dalawang buwan kami sa cruise ship na umikot sa buong Asia. Nagkita nga lang kami ni Tantan sa Singapore nang dumaong ang barko d'on, at pinuntahan ako ni Tristan.
"May girlfriend na ako, pero ikaw hindi pa din pinapayagang sagutin si Tristan," nang-aasar na sabi ni Kipp.
Sinamaan ko s'ya ng tingin. "Break up with him," sabi ko kay Dax.
They both laughed.
"I'll go ahead na nga lang. Nakakainis kayo," maarteng sabi ko at iniwan na sila.
Nang makarating ako sa room ay nand'on na si Cole. Tulad ng nakagawian ko na, umupo ako sa tabi n'ya.
"Hi! How's vacation?" masiglang tanong ko sa kanya.
As usual, his face was emotionless. He has this grim aura around him.
"Fine," tipid na sagot n'ya.
Ngumuso ako. "Sungit mo talaga."
Tinignan n'ya ako nang masama. "Stop doing that," he coldly said.
Kinunutan ko s'ya ng noo. "Doing what?"
Inirapan n'ya ako. "Pouting your lips and acting like a kid. You're not being cute."
I gasped. "For your information, I am not trying to be cute!"
Hindi naman na s'ya kumibo pa at kumuha na lang ng libro na babasahin n'ya.
Inirapan ko na lang s'ya kahit hindi naman n'ya nakikita.
I busied myself texting Tristan while waiting for my girl friends. Wala naman akong mapapala dito kay Nicholas. Habang tumatagal ay palala na s'ya nang palala.
Nag-announce na sa speakers na kailangan na pumunta sa gym. Siguro ay doon na dumeretso ang mga kaibigan ko at hindi na dumaan dito sa room.
To: Tantananan
Pinapapunta na kami sa gym. Text you later kapag nakabalik na ko sa room ;)
I pressed send and I waited for his reply before I put my phone on my pocket.
