“Hi!”
*No answer*
“Do you wanna play basketball?”
*Looks down*
“It's fun you know.”
*Looks away*
Went close and grab the kid's hand.“Come on, the ball and the court is waiting to be played and is calling our names!”

“Stop sulking” ang sabi ng uggoy.
Ang dali! Ang dali-dali naman ng pinapagawa mo! Note the sarcasm.
Pano?! Ha! How! When you just don't know and can't do anything of the chapter that you chose to read even though you knew how things gonna turn out, huh! Tell me.
“You are just disappointed of how you knew what's gonna happen and that it will surely disappoint you but you choose to continue and let the words prove your assumption, which is by the way, never wrong.” sabi pa niya. Mas lalo naman ko pang nilibing ang mukha ko sa mesa.
Ugh..
Nasa canteen na kami ngayon, hinihintay ang iba. For some reason pareho kaming vacant ng unggoy. As usual canteen lang naman ang only destination ko, pagdating ko nakita ko ang unggoy na may sinusulat and little did I know that it was our homework in History.
Pinagsisihan ko tuloy ang paggawa ng mga assignments ko just then after ito ina-announce.
Hindi sana ako nalulunod sa mga thoughts ko ngayon!
Galing ko rin eh!
I sighed.
Narinig kong nilapag ng unggoy ang ballpen nito then shuffling was heard. Sinubukan ko na lang i divert ang attention ko sa iba.
O MY GOSH! I can't think of anything. I was about to dug my face further into my arms when a hand came to view.
Tiningnan ko ang nagmamay-ari ng mga higanteng kamay na yun at nakita ko ang unggoy na may pinapasok sa tenga niya na nakatingin sa akin. Binaling ko ang tingin ko sa mga kamay na nasa harap ko. May dala itong left part ng earphones.
A small smile came to my face. Kinuha ko ang bahagi ko ng earphone at narinig ko ang Girls Like You by Maroon 5.
Tinaasan ko ng kilay ang unggoy. He just shrugged.
Ipinikit ko na lang ang mga mata ko at muling ibinalik ang mukha ko sa mga braso ko. With the last awareness that the ape joined me, and I think both of us fell into slumber.

We slept for about a good 30 minutes before we were interrupted.
“Wakey, wakey time for launchy..” an energetic male voice called at the same time shaking me. I was pleased to wake up but then he ruined it by continuing, “You bitches!”
I heard the ape groaned at sure ako na sinapak niya si Dix na nagmamay-ari ng boses kasi narinig ko itong dumaing.
Inangat ko na ang ulo ko at inikuskos ang mga kamay ko sa mukha ko para mapawi ang tulog.
Sa pagdilat ko nakalapag na sa harap ko ang pagkain. After I thank God for the blessing I dug in.
“Who paid for this?” Ape asked after taking a bite of his cheese burger.
“The one you smack, you a-hole! Way on showing your appreciation! Your welcome!”
“Thanks” ang maikling sabi ng unggoy. Completely ignoring Dix's rant. “Here” sabi niya sabay abot ng pera kay Dix.
