How am I so into you? (RICCI RIVERO)

Chapter XXXIV: The Riveros

Z A U N E A

I went inside and tried my best to be comfortable in my sheets so I could have enough energy for my class tomorrow but I feel like I'm all hyped up until the next week.

Namiss ko sigurong kiligin.

From Ricci:

I'm home—again.

Baliw talaga 'to.

Me:
Well you should be. It's late na.

Ricci
Caring mo naman, Miss.

Me
Do you want your other hand sprained too? Para proportioned.

Ricci
Joke lang hahaha!

And we stayed happily and carelessly up all night together.

"Naguusap na kayo 'no? Daig mo pa bagong facial sa fresh eh." Bungad sa'kin ni Vich pagkaupo ko sa klase.

I smiled and my eyebrows played like an elevator.

Ito namang sila Grant chismoso. "Uy naguusap na kayo? Tanong mo naman kung open pa sila for try-outs.." tanong ni Grant nung nakitang umoo ako kay Vich. Ngayon isang kilay ko nalang ang elevated.

"Try-out? Eh 2nd sem na kyah!" Sabi ko naman at inirapan sya.

"Okay lang yun, kahit next year pa. Gusto ko talaga, please?" In fairness ang bait nilang dalawa sa'kin lately. Dati binuburaot lang ako nitong mga 'to lagi.

"Oh sige sige. Babanggitin ko pag naalala ko. " sabi ko naman and focused on my business.

My annoying ringtone did its work.

Ricci calling...

Joke favorite ko na pala 'to.

"Hello? Ricci?"

"Zaun, sorry hindi kita nahatid. Nalate kasi ako ng gising kasi wala talaga akong klase ngayon eh. Sorry talaga please?"

"Huh? Ano ka ba! Okay lang 'no, di mo naman trabahong ihatid ako. "

Ito namang si Vich, Kurt at Grant kung makichismis harap harapan. May mga comment pa. Patuloy ko naman silang sine-shh.

"Bawi nalang ako. Wala ka namang duty sa cafe diba?"

How did he know?

"Pinicturan ko sched mo nung nakaraan.."

Ehehehhehe Ricci beket nemen!!

"Ahh.. oo wala. Bakit?" i contained my kilig the best that I can.

"Our dinner has been postponed for a long time already, I don't want to break a promise again.."

Tss. Oo nga pala, inindian mo ko. I know, clearly, I could've done better that day. I could've sounded more inspiring when my inspiration belonged to crowd.
