It All Started With: We're Just Friends

Eight

Deanna's Point of View:

A week before our finals nag-ccram ako. A layer of papers due next week before our finals, I also have bunch of other school works na need tapusin within the week.

But I decided to go out with my friends Dani and Sydney instead of completing the requirements. We went shopping around UPTown lang. We deplete lots of money to relieve our stress from the loads of papers and for the upcoming hell week.

"Deanns, are we allowed ba to do this?" Dani asks.

"Grade conscious girl talaga. Of course we're not allowed but come on do we have to banned ourselves from stress relieving? We need a break no." Sydney answered.

While they were having an argument about this, Ricci texted me asking where the hell I am.

"Babe, sorry. Didn't got the chance to message you pa. I'm in UPTown with Dani and Sydney."

I replied.

Meanwhile, both Dani and Sydney were spending lots of bucks purchasing things that are not in needs. They're both compulsive shoppers I might say.

Ricci replied on my text message.

"Aren't you going to finish your requirements? Babe, finals na next week! You should be reviewing for the finals."

"Babe I need a break." I replied.

"Break from us? Dude!!" he responds.

"No stupid. Haha! A break from 24 hours na walang pahinga kaka-gawa ng papers, and kaka-revise ng business plan."

"Kinabahan ako dun babe. Hahaha! Okay sige. Text me if you got home already ha. I love you."

Before I could even press the reply button Dani started teasing me.

"Ew babe ang call sign. That's very mainstream doe."

"Yuck. Did you know that using that call sign relationships doesn't last long?" Sydney bluffs.

"Can you not? You doesn't have a boyfriend kasi that's why you're bitter!" I said making them envious.

They both laugh and struck me at my arms.

Then my phone buzzed again so I opened the message that I got from Ricci.

"Ano? May nakita ka ng gwapo? I'm waiting for you to reply doe."

"Ay shocks. Dani and Sydney kasi eh. They poked fun at me because they saw your text na may babe. I forgot to reply na. I love you."

Ricci is so grouchy talaga ever since. Hindi mo lang mareplyan, magagalit na. You just forgot to text him he'll be in a bad shape na. Yun nga lang hindi ko hinabol from Starbucks, he avoided me na.

We decided to go back na sa dorm because we doesn't have anything much to do in the mall. I continued doing the papers and it's already 11:36 PM. I try texting Ricci but he didn't responds, he might be sleeping na.

It's already midnight and I decided to clear my mind for a while and stayed in the veranda. I stretched my arms and pumped up my muscles for a little bit.
