Before I Go

Chapter 9

"Hindi parin kayo tapos kakatawa dyan? Baka kabagin kayo nyan mamaya." Maddison said upon seeing the guys approach our table.

We're having lunch at our usual table at the cafeteria just like any normal day if not for Austin and Jackson who's still laughing every now and then because of what happened earlier.

"Nakita mo ba mukha nya' pagkatapos sabihin ni Georgia na "ohhh! I'm late!" Austin said before laughing again.

"That was epic! Tapos lalo pa nung natapos agad sagutan ni Georgia lahat nang problem ng ganun ka bilis?" Jackson said then suddenly froze, looking like he just realized something.

I glared at him before I continue eating my food. Weirdo.

"Wala bang nakapagsabi sayo na hindi magandang titigan ang taong kumakain?" I said, still not looking at him. I can still feel him staring right at me.

"Dude ayan ka naman sa pagtitig mo kay Georgia. Ganyang ganyan din ginawa mo nung lasing ka." Austin commented while the others gave him a confused look as well.

"What? Do I look like someone you know again?" I said, feeling annoyed when he still didn't look away.

He shook his head.

"Can I seat beside you sa next class? No, kahit during quizzes and exams lang pala. Pakopyahin mo ako Georrrrrg. I'll do anything you ask. Heck, I'll pay you if you want." He said, half pleading.

"Oo nga no? Ako din!" Austin said before I could utter a word.

"Hoy! Anong pakopyahin ka dyan! Masama yun." Maddison said beside me.

Tiffany stick out her tongue at them.

"No." I said before drinking water.

"Georrrrrrrggggg" they both whined at the same time.

"Shut up."

"PLEASEEEEEEEEEE?" They said with hand gestures.

"No."

"Ano bang gusto mo? Anong gusto mong kapalit?" Austin offered.

"Nothing." I said, then ignored them.

"Ayos, libre! So okay na tayo? Tutulungan mo na kami?" Jackson said.

"No."

"Georgggggggg" they whined again.

I look at them with a bored expression, mirroring what I'm feeling at the moment.

Not long after, Jackson whispered something to Austin, and the guy immediately got on his feet and sat beside Bryan who's having a conversation with William.

"Bry." He called. My cousin looked at him, waiting for him to continue talking.

"Tulungan mo naman kami oh." he begged.

Really now?

"Paano ba mapapa oo si Georgia?" He said, throwing a glance at me.

Bryan's expression changed with what he heard.

"Austin kaibigan kita, pero ibang usapan yang isali mo ang pinsan ko sa listahan ng mga babae mo." Bryan said in a very calm manner. So calm it's scary.

Austin's eyes widen as he vigorously shake his head while giving Jackson a look like he's asking for help.

"Hindi sa ganon dude!" He clarified, attempting to clear his name.

Buti nga sayo.

I'm enjoying the look on Austin's face when I got interrupted by a tap on my shoulder, so I turned to see an unfamiliar face wearing a thick rimmed glasses standing before me.
