"Omg, look at that dress!"

"Scarlet, hindi damit ang pinunta natin dito please lang." kalmadong bulyaw ko sakaniya bago pa siya maka apak sa loob ng shop na tinuro niya, nakita ko kung paano siya napa simangot.

"Ugh." she whined. "Sayang."

Devesin hummed before pulling a pushing cart the moment we all entered the store. "Better luck next time."

We're currently at the mall, bibili kami ng school supplies namin para bukas because it's first day of school which I can already feel the depression, kauuwi lang namin tapos may pasok na agad? Buti nalang nakapag-enroll nakami.

"Aren't we going home already?"

"Kadarating lang natin Xy." natatawang sagot ko kay Xyra na uwing-uwi na.

"How many textbooks do we need?" Devesin asked beside me while holding a book in hand.

"Three." I answered as I raomed my eyes on the list on my phone. "Grab yours ladies."

Nagsimula na kaming mag hiwa-hiwalay dahil kukunin na namin ang mga kailangan naming bilhin, I don't even know where to start dahil inaalalayan ko muna sina Scarlet at Krisha alam ko kasing gastarol sila sa pera. Isang stationary bibilhin nila pag hindi ko sila tinutukan.

"Ano pa ba- ballpen pala!" Scarlet rushed towards the corner to God knows how many did she grab for just a pen.

"I need two more textbooks." Krisha whispered beside me. "Magastos ako sa papel!"

I sighed in defeat. "Fine, dalawa lang ha!" sigaw ko dahil hindi na niya ako hinintay matapos mag salita at tumakbo na siya.

Hinanap ko si Scarlet at nakita ko siyang may hawak nang limang iba't-ibang kulay ng ballpen, this is what I'm saying. Juskong batang 'to, buti nalang hindi sinukuan ng magulang.

"Lima lang." inunahan na niya ako, "Please?"

"Oo na." tango ko, "Kumuha ka na din ng highlighters if you need."

Iniwan ko na sakaniya ang pushing cart nila at sinabihan niya ako na siya na daw bahala, may tiwala naman ako na wala siyang idadagdag sa cart nila ni Krisha kahit papaano may limit naman siya, makulit lang talaga at kailangan pag sabihan minsan.

I grab my cart and started searching for textbooks, I bit my lower lips as I hummed the song played inside the store while deciding what to grab carefully.

After grabbing textbooks natanaw ko si Xyra na naka pamaywang sa gilid, nang lapitan ko siya natanaw kong tinitignan niya ang buong collections ng color pencils, which is mahal dahil alam kong hindi bibili ng cheap 'tong bruhang 'to.

"You have plenty on your baggage." sulpot ko, "Are you sure?"

She grabbed it without hesitation, "Sure." she also grabbed three charcoal pencils, "You done?"

"Mag uumpisa palang, be sure to buy textbook ha!" I reminded before passing by her to grab pens sa kabila.

She's really artistic, that's her hobby actually. Nakakabilib nga yung mha artworks niya because it's unique, she literally have a whole ass stationary in her study table. She'll be a good artist someday if she'll persue that.

Sinunod ko ang keychains dahil nadaanan ko, oh how I'm such a sucker for keychains.

"What do buy.." I roamed my eyes around each adorable designs, but I frozed on my tracks as my eyes glued on a keychain.
