BETTINA

“So anong pinagusapan niyo?” I asked and nudge her with my shoulder.

“Later.” While jotting down notes – seriously? For real? Di nga?  

“Stop jotting down, I know you’re just scribbling.”  

“I hate you.”  She hissed.

“I won’t love you anymore if you’ll not say a thing---” </3

“I told you... Later!”

“That ‘later’ won’t happen!” I protested.

“Hay Bettina, ilang beses kang inire ng nanay mo?”   She muttered.

“Eww. Where did you get that?”  I asked.

“From your Wilson.”   Then she smirk. “Ikaw ha. You’re not making kwento.” 

“Joey, stop turning the tables. You’re just avoiding my question.” 

“I’ll tell you later. Swear.”

Dismissal. 

Joey told everything to me. Although I’m kinda thinking that it was such a bad idea. But Joey assured me that they (Fourth) could handle everything.

“Fine fine, as if I can do anything to change your mind.” I said. “But if you need me, I’m always here. Okay?”

“Yup. Thanks Bettina you’re the best!” then she hugged me. “But please, don’t tell anyone okay?”

“Promise. I’ll keep my mouth and my lungs shut.” 

“Wow, I’m rest assured.” 

“You bi tch.”   I lightly slap her cheek. 

“Okay, stop that. It kinda reminds me of what happened last Friday.”She muttered.

“Joey. Its fine, you still look awesome.”  I teased.

“Whatever Bettina!”   

“Anyway, let’s eat some kwek kwek.” I said as I shove my arms to her. 

“Oh no. I don’t like kwek kwek anymore.” She said – suddenly remembering something.

“Oh why? It’s your favorite kaya. Hello---”

“Let’s go to Mcdo na lang! Twister Fries! Yum!”

“Eww. Naglalaway pa.”  

“Dali! Your treat!”

After we ordered naghanap na kami ng table – medyo crowded yung Mcdo. Sad.  

“Bettina! Ayun oh? Near the playground!”

And just when we’re about to sit---

“Sorry, the table is occupied.” She said sabay tawa nilang mga friends niya at umupo.
