Darren Espanto? My ex-friend. (Darren Espanto and Juan Karlos Labajo)

Chapter 2: My treat!

Lygienel's POV

"It was fun being with you, guys. I hope that this lasts until the end of the school year. And I hope that your 2-hour lunch break will be enjoyable for all of us. I'll see you tomorrow, class," Mrs. Mariano greeted goodbye. I sighed. Thank goodness, it's lunch break already. I won't have to deal with these fangirls.

As Mrs. Mariano went out of our room, Juan Karlos slammed my desk to get my attention. I looked at him with a puzzled look then rolled my eyes. "Gienel, don't you dare rolling your eyes on me," he said then, sat on my desk. I rolled my eyes again. He leaned to my face, really close. My heart thumped.

"Yiie, KarGie!" everyone chanted, including Darren's group. I blushed. "Psh, Juan Karlos, ano ba?" I asked him. He grinned at me. "Let's go eat some lunch at McDonald's!" he exclaimed as he jumped from my desk and grabbed my hand. "What? No. No," I said, escaping from his grip. Ugh, this kid.

"Oh c'mon, Gienel. It's my treat and I barely treat anyone," Juan Karlos stated. I won't believe him.

"Then don't! I'm not forcing you to believe in me. Just- just come with me. It'll be fun," he said. I probably thought out loud again.

"Ugh. Fine. Where are we going?" I asked him. He grinned at him and grabbed my hand. "McDonald's!" he exclaimed.

Such childish. Yet, it's cute though.

"What would you want to eat?" Juan Karlos asked. I feel shy right now. I mean, it's the first time meeting him and now he's treating me already to lunch.

"I don't know. You decide," I told him. I really cannot decide right now. I feel pressured when I'm at a McDonald's counter and I can't decide what to eat.

"Okay. Miss, I'd like to order uhm.. 2 Big Macs with 2 large cokes and uhm.. BFF Fries on it but without drinks. And oh, add some hashbrowns. That's all," he said. My eyes narrowed. How can a 13 year old guy like him eat this amount of food?

"Karlos, are you serious? How are we supposed to eat that?" I suddenly asked out of the blue. The cashier person and Juan Karlos chuckled. "My dear Gienel, are you crazy?" he asked. I playfully hit his right arm with my fist.

"Ang sweet nyo pong dalawa," the cashier person said. I blushed as Juan Karlos placed an arm on my shoulder and replied, "Thanks,".

Ugh. This kid. "You're order's complete, sir. Enjoy your meal," the cashier person named Angelah said. I just smiled at her. I just feel so embarrassed.

"So tell me about yourself," he started. I looked at him as I swallowed my food. "There's nothing to be interested about me," I told him. He shrugged his head no. "So tell me, would I even ask you to tell me about yourself if I'm not interested about your life?" he asked. WHY DOES HE ALWAYS HAVE A POINT?!

I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Okay. So what do you want to know about me?" I asked him. He thought for a second. "Your interests," he said. Like what?

"I love singing, dancing, uhm, playing video and computer games, well, I'm also a sporty kind of girl," I told him. He smiled and nodded. "I can't see that," he said. I rolled my eyes and hit him in his head.

"Ow. Gienel! I was just kidding," he defended. I smiled and ruffled his hair. "Lygie," he started. I looked at him and he was already looking at me.

"Yeah?" I asked. He gave me his phone and told me to insert my number in it. I smiled and inserted my number. Then, I tossed him my phone and told him to insert his number, too.

When he returned my phone, I saw that he saved his name as JKPogi<3. This kid, really.

"It's almost time, Gie. We have to go back to the building," he said, almost panicking. We only have 20 minutes to go back to SMU.
