I was surprised nang makita ko si Nicholas pagbukas ko ng gate.
"N-Nich."
Is he going to kill me?
Napakamot siya sa kanyang ulo. "Oh sorry, mind if I join?" he smiled.
"N-no problem." I awkwardly answered.
We started taking our path to school. O my ghad. It feels so awkward ang magsabay kami ni Nich. Alam kong childhood friends kami. Pero... kasi...
"So why did you really join me?" I asked.
Nich looks at me. "Why? Is it bad to miss my childhood friend?" Then smiled.
Uhm... How can I respond? My heart pounds very fast. What the heck I'll do? I think my face is very red now.
"But someone can see us and it will be the cause of humor in school." I slightly look down. Despite the excitement I can feel in my whole body, I felt very far from Nich now.
Why did you request that stupid favor Nich?
"It doesn't matter basta makasabay ko lang ikaw." Tapos ginulo niya yung buhok ko.
"Nich don't touch my hair with you dirty hands!" I exclaimed.
"Dirty Hands? Never noh. Wala pa akong nagiging girlfriend or whatever your thinking. We're only some high school students."
"Anong whatever your thinking? I'm just joking noh. I'm not the same as you have perverted mind. Don't you know your childhood friend is still innocent! Innocent!" I slowly enunciate that word loudly.
"Then do you want me to teach you?" he said with a smirk.
"Yaaak, Nich. You're really such a pervert! Do you want to Tita know about that?!" I said with furious eyebrows.
"Hey, I just do you want me to teach you, I'm talking about our lesson. Maybe you really are the one who is her brain with lots of censored thoughts."
Suddenly, my face turned as red as tomatoes and I can feel the hotness of it.
I saw Nich is grinning.
"Get away from me, idiot! Or I will tell our parents about your bad attitude!" I'll run to school. Buti nalang malapit na.
I touch face. I'm sure Nich is laughing really hard right now. And I can imagine his has a black eye with little birds flying in circle on his head.
When I passed at the gate, nagulat ako nung batiin ako ni Scarlet na kasama ang mga friends niya.
"Good morning Stephannie!"
Scarlet's face is full of energy, maybe it's because her popularity was increased after she posted her picture with Nich at his house. While her three other best friend is so curious why the hell is the most influential women in the school is talking to me.
"Good Morning too, Scarlet. You seemed more popular." I greeted back.
"Oh, You see also my post on my IG? It got a hundred thousands of hearts. And I have to thank you for that."
"What?! Why do you have to thank that little bitch?"
Just call me a bitch, but I'm not going to be affected by that word.
"Because she is the one-"
I stopped her before she mentioned what I have done.
"Shh..." then I whisper, "It's just a secret between us as frenemies, okay?"
"Sure," she cheerfully replied. Without any complaints with the word 'us' and 'frenemies'. "By the way, this three is my girlfriends."
(A/N: The friend is a girl. No MALISYA!)
