Beneath her Mask

4: Misunderstood

Thank God for Saturdays. Late na ako gumising dahil wala namang pasok. And i've decided to just stay home and be lazy for the day.

And after much contemplation, I've decided to just accept Sean Lockheart's request on facebook. Pwede ko naman siyang i delete once our project is over. I tapped the confirm button and instantly received a message that we're already connected in messenger. And after a few minutes of accepting his request, my messenger popped up a chat head with his profile picture.

Sean: Thanks for accepting my request, partner 😁

I can't help but roll my eyes nung mabasa ko ang message niya. Tsk, what a waste of time. I dragged the chat head down to remove it from the screen.

Hindi ko siya nireplyan at nagpatuloy na lang ako sa pag scan sa isang website. Naghahanap kasi ako ng mga tauhan sa kwento na pwede naming magamit sa character study. Ilang saglit ay nag pop up nanaman ulit yung mukha niya sa chat head.

Sean: Seener naman neto. Hanggang sa chat ba naman magsusungit ka?🤔

Hindi ko na napigilan at nireplyan na lang sya.

Me: At bakit ba ang kulit mo? Wala ka na ba talagang pwedeng gawin maliban sa asarin ako?

Sean: Haha chill lang! Baka mamaya atakihin ka dyan sa sobrang highblood mo.😂

Me: What the hell do you want ba? I don't want to waste my time talking to a nonsense person such as yourself. If we're not going to talk about our project pwede hanap ka na lang ng ibang kausap? 🙄

Sean: Alright, alright. We'll just talk about the project you can calm down now.

I really wanted to send him a GIF right now. The one that's rolling the eyes because of how annoying he is. But I prevented myself to do so.

Sean: So do you have a suggestion of which character are we working with?

Me: Not yet. I'm currently looking for ideas on the web.

Sean: So do I. Are you free today?

Me: Why do you ask?

Sean: I was hoping we could meet up somewhere. You know to talk personally. I really don't want to do this group project while just talking to you over the phone.

Tsk. Ang arte naman neto! Pero come to think of it, may point naman sya dun. And besides, nakakapagod kaya mag type sa phone lang ng ilang oras kaka chat sakanya! Ayokong mag video chat kami kasi baka maihagis ko yung paboritong laptop ko sa inis ko sakanya.

Me: Fine. When and where?

Sean: I know a coffee shop malapit lang sa school. We can meet up there. I'll send the location in a few minutes.

Ugh, so much for staying at home for a lazy saturday. Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang bumaba na muna para kumain. Habang papunta dun, tumunog ulit yung phone ko signalling Sean already sent the address.

"Did you know that mom is coming home in a few weeks? I guess not. Oh well, sino ka ba naman para sabihan niya?" - panimula ng kapatid ko pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko pa lang ng dining.

Tangina namang araw to! Wala na ba talagang titigil na mambwisit saken? 🙄

"Ate naman, hindi ka pa ba sanay? Hindi mo pa ba nahanap yung paki ko ever since? My god this is getting tiring" - I sarcastically replied

"What's with the 'ate' thing? You never call me that. Did my little sis suddenly had a change of heart?" - sabi niya at nagtangka pa talagang lumapit saakin at aakmang yayakapin ako.

"Gross. As if naman kaya mo akong yakapin. Mom's not here yet so you can stop pretending you're a good girl and not a witch, bitch, sister."

She ultimately stopped at that and glared at me. I just replied back with a smirk and went to get something on the fridge.
