Better than Perfect (Period No Erase)

Chapter Twelve -You've got to be kidding me-

Naka lean ako sa hood ng car ko kasi sabi ni Tim magkita kami sa parking lot kasi may sasabihin sya sakin. Ano sasabihin nya? Di ko alam.

Tim: "hey Dyl!"

Me: "yo"

Tim: "so... I asked Bianca out."

Me: "no shit?"

Tim: "yes shit!"

Me: "hmm good for you. So ano na yung sasabihin mo?"

Tim: "may gagawin ka ba this saturday?"

Me:"pfffft. Of course wala. IM free as a bird."

Tim: "dont take this the wrong way but....i need a chaperone. We need a chaperone."

Me: "huh? Why chaperone? San ba kayo pupunta? Dba masyadong early pa para sa ganyan? I mean, first date nyu pa lang ito......"

Jesus Christ. First date? Agad agad?

Tim: "what? O.O" "jesus Dyl! I said dont take this the wrong way! Di kaya ganun intention ko! We need a chaperone para di mahalat ni kuya nya na mag de-date kami ng kapatid nya."

Me: "bakit? Alam nya na ba?"

Tim: "oo, pero ang alam nya mag ha-hang out lang with friends and sabi nya 'make sure na hindi kayo alone together or else...'"

Me: "nandyan naman si Paige ah." And Talwyn. Beautiful.

Tim: "busy daw si Paige. May gagawin. So si Talwyn yung friend na e sasama ni Bianca."

Me: "okay so?"

Tim: "soooooooo. Samahan mo ako? Double date?"

No fucking way in hell.

"No shit! What about them? Gab? Andrew? Nash? Scott? And why the hell are you asking me? No way! No, i will never do that double fucking date."

"It's easy. They're busy, Dyl. Come on! Its not like an actual double date. Well, lets put it this way then. A chaperone with a partner. Sa date namin ni Bianca. Okay na ba? Di na double date yan. Chaperone with a partner na."

Explain sakin ni Tim. Nakita kung lumalakad si Scott and Andrew papunta samin.

"Yo bros!" Sabi ni Scott.

"Please tell me na wala kayong gagawin sa Sabado."

"Sorry, may gagawin ako eh." Sabi ni Andrew.

"What about you Scott? Dba wala ka namang ginagawa every saturday? You better tell him---*tinuro ko si Tim*--- na wala kang gagawin"

"Sorry bff, pero grounded ako eh."

"Oh yeah? Why?"

"Gabi na umuwi kagabe eh. Hahahaha bakit ba?"

"Eh kasi..." Sabi ni Tim. "May date kami ni Bianca. And then ang sabi ko sa kuya nya na hang out with friend lang. And sinabihan ba naman ako na 'make sure hindi kayo alone together'. So ang sabi ni Bianca sa kanya kasama nya si Talwyn kasi may gagawin si Paige. Tinanong ko si Gab, nash at andrew kun may gagawin sila pero sabi nila may lakad dw sila. Pero si Dylan available. And parang ayaw nyang sumama eh. Nandyan kasi si Talwyn."

Spend how many hours with Talwyn? And get to know her more? Im in deep deep, deeper shit than i thought.

"Bro, samahan mo ng mag double date si Tim. Si Talwyn lang naman kasama mo eh. Di mo naman siya gusto diba? Diba?" Sabi ni Andrew.

"Dont call it a double date! Dont! Or else di sya sasama! Chaperone with a partner lang!" Sabi ni Tim. Mukha na syang mag papanick na baka hindi matuloy date nila.

As his friend, and also because he's like a brother to me. I said, "Fine." While slapping the hood of my car in defeat.

Napatahimik silang tatlo then nag sabi ng sabay sabay, "fine?"

"Yeah. I said fine, alright. Tell me what time sa sabado."

"You serious?"

"Deadly. Fuck okay. I'll be your chaperone on your first date."

"Thanks man! Damn. I feel so good."
