Eyven's POV
Ven: w-well, my family owns a little restaurant, yes, a restaurant
Sophia: really? Then let’s be friends, we’ll stop by to your restaurant soon, and I am expecting you to my birthday tomorrow, so for now, me and my boyfriend will take our leave na, bye~
(Then hinila niya si Kiefer na may sasabihin pa sana sakin, nung makaalis na yung dalawa,)
Ven: akala ko mamamatay nako sa sobrang kaba,
Rain: that’s unusual for Sophia to talk like that,
Ven: huh?
Rain: n-nothing, maybe that was just my imagination, anyway, it’s lunch time, she didn’t invited you today, maybe next time,
Ven: I’m not planning to go with her either,
Ven: but you have no choice about the party cause she invited you personally, turning down her invitation….. you know? War…
Ven: this is all your fault,
Rain: sorry okay? Anyway, parang nakikita ko na si boyfriend mo sa pinto,
(Nung tignan ko kung sinong boyfriend yun, si Gel lang pala,)
Ven: oh c’mon Rain, he’s not my boyfriend,
Rain: then what is he to you?
Ven: remove the first 3 letters ng boyfriend,
Rain: really? Then, pakilala moko,
Ven: (sigh) tara..
Ven: Gel! Sorry for the wait, nga pala this is Rain, Rain this is Gel,
(They extended their both hands to each other,)
Gel: nice to meet you Rain, wanna have lunch with us?
Rain: sure,
Ven: eh? What about your lunch with Kiefer?
Rain: out of place lang naman ako dun pag kasama niya si Sophia,
Ven: oh, then tara na, I’m craving for Chicken fillet,
Gel: I’ll buy it for you, one bucket,
Rain: one bucket?! Kaya mo yun ven?!
Gel: she can eat a mountain of Chicken fillet,
Rain: (jaw drop)
(Habang nasa canteen kami, umupo kami sa regular seats, may mga VIP seats kasi para sa mga VIP students, at dahil gusto ko maging normal student din, umupo kami kasama ang mga regulars, but,)
Gel: rain, are you sure you’re okay with this? VIP ka diba?
Rain: bakit kayo? Di VIP? Sanay nako kay Ven, kung saan siya masaya, dun nadin ako,
Ven: so sweet naman,
Sophia: may I join you?
(Napatitig ako kay Sophia sa sobrang gulat, then the regular students umalis sila para paupuin si Sophia,)
Gel: Sophia, this is not the VIP seat,
Sophia: I know, umalis kasi Kiefer, so lonely dun, iniwan pako ni Rain,
Rain: oh, I’m sorry, akala ko kasi forever na kayong magkasama ni Kiefer eh,
Muntik nakong matawa sa sinabi niya, this is the first time na ginawa ni Sophia to, I mean, maarte siya, nagsa-sanitzier siya every minute baka daw kumapit mga germs sakanya, and she never interact with regulars, but now, she’s sitting in front of us like normal, she’s eating her food like normal, what happened to her? But I can see na nahihirapan siyang kumain kasi left handed si Rain,
Gel: Sophia, dito ka nalang, para makakain ka ng maayos,
At yun na nga nagpalit sila ng pwesto. What I like about Gel is mabait siya, kaso SOBRANG BAIT! Katabi ko si Sophia! Katabi ko si Sophia!
Sophia: anyway, are you guys in a relationship?
Gel: pano mo nasabi?
Sophia: well, lagi ko kayong nakikitang magkasama, super close niyo, one time I saw you guys kissing,
Naibuga ko yung kinakain ko kay Rain,
Gel: ahh, yung kiss? Di yun natuloy, I was just teasing her, hehe
Sophia: teasing her? Haha, kakaiba kayo sa lahat ng mga mag-kaibigan, anyway, I gotta go, don’t forget my birthday party okay? Bye!
Yung mga students nakatingin lang sakanya habang paalis siya,
Ven: Rain, what is she trying to do? I mean, anong ginagawa niya? Di naman siya ganyan dati ah?
Rain: I don’t know either, wag niyo nalang siya pansinin, balik tayo sa KISS,
Gel: no, no, no, don’t talk about that, baka mahimatay yan kakaisip dun,
Ven: enough! Tara na!
Habang papunta kami ng classroom, napansin kong nakatitig si Rain kay Gel, why?
Gel: Ven, sunduin kita mamaya ha? And Rain, will you look her for me?
Rain: sure, basta ikaw,
Ven: gel, I’m not a kid anymore,
Gel: I know, but you’re still a woman, and you’re so clumsy and so careless,
Ven: okay na yung first sentence eh, dinugtungan mo pa, sige na, bye~
While preparing our stuffs for the next subject, pinagmasdan ko Sophia, yung mga mata niya namamaga, umiyak siya? And nag-skip ng klase si Kiefer
After the class, biglang dumating si Kiefer na excited,
Kiefer: Eyven! Congratulations!
Ven: huh? For what?
Kiefer: you won the free verse poem competition!
Ven: really?!
Rain: wow~! Let’s celebrate! Treat ni Kiefer
Ven: w-what? N-no Kiefer, it’s not necessary to celebrate and-..
Rain: wait Kiefer, where have you been? You skipped the class don’t you?
Kiefer: actually hinintay ko yung results ng competition,
Rain: what? You left Sophia during lunch and wait for that?
Kiefer: well, yeah, anyway! Let’s celebrate!
Ven: sorry but di na talaga kailangan, darating kasi si daddy mamaya galing business trip eh,
I just lied to Kiefer! O_O!
Kiefer: oh, maybe next time, congrats ulit,
Ven: t-thanks!
