"Umuwi ka na August. You have your classes at 9 right?"
"Hindi ako papasok"
Minsan naiinis ako dito kay August. Tamad siya pumasok pero ang taas pa rin ng grades niya I mean how can he do that? Eh samantalang ako eh halos mabaliw na sa mga minor subjects na feeling major.
Well, bakit ko ba siya pinoproblema? 'Ofcourse, because you are inlove with him' my subconcious answered.
I just didn't mind my thoughts and took a bath. Pagkababa ko kumakain na sila ng breakfast. Masaya lang na nagkkwentuhan si mom and August. Wow, they're close again.
"Saya niyo a."
"Eto kasing si August e' namimiss daw ang mommy niya"
"Sus, drama ha. Eh kapag nandiyan naman si tita Hazel ayaw mo kainin yung luto niya hahahahahaha"
"Si mommy ang namimiss ko not the adobo okay?"
Tumawa naman si mom. My mom and titha Hazel became close friend also because of me & August. We're neighbors before and then ayun close na. I just can't remember exactly how it happens.
"Dalian mo kumain Kirs. Hahatid pa rin kita kahit di ako papasok" he winked at me and I rolled my eyes at him
Nauna ng umalis yung mom ko since she has a work. She's a secretary of the CEO of Esteban Enterprises, she's working there for almost 7 years.
"Bakit ba ayaw mong pumasok?"
"Ayoko naman kasing mag flat 1 lahat ng grades ko"
"Yabang mo!"
"Atleast may ipagyayabang."
"Oo na, oo na!"
Kinuha ko na yung bag ko at dumiretso na sa sasakyan ni August. Sumakay na rin siya at inistart ang kotse "wala ka talagang balak pumasok?"
He shook his head "magppractice lang ako ng basketball, maliligo lang ako pagkatapos kitang ihatid"
"Buti naman naisipan mong maligo, ang baho mo na e"
Tumawa lang siya. I waved my goodbye to him, he told me that he will text me later once their basketball practice is done para maihatid niya na rin ako pauwi.
"Hey" he handed me a cup of frappe. I wonder if this is really for me.
"Uhmmm...what's your name again?" I asked, I suck at remembering names
"So, you just receive a frappe from a stranger?" He bit his lower lip para hindi siya matawa
"You're not a stranger, we're friends but...ay ewan, basta I forgot your name"
"Ang talino sa acads ang hina sa memorization ng names? That's unbelievable"
Napakamot ako sa batok ko, kahapon lang naman kami nagkausap bakit nalimutan ko kaagad yung name niya? Urghh..
"so, hindi ka na magpapakilala ulit?" I raise a brow
"Oliver Louie Esteban. You can call me Oliver, Louie, Mr.Esteban or babe"
I roll my eyes. Rolling my eyes is like my mannerism, I always do it. "did I really consider you to be my friend?" sarcasm as it finest
"yes, yesterday" and he smiled at me
Sabay kaming pumasok, buong araw kaming classmate ni Oliver. Ganito ba talaga ako? I mean lagi ba talagang si August lang ang naiisip ko at hindi ko napapansin na may gwapo din pala akong classmate?
I received a text from August
"pare, 6 pa tapos ng practice namin"
August is basketball varsity player. Like father, like son. No wonder kung bakit babaero rin siya. Ganiyan din daw si tito James before e.
