Chapter 6

#GT006

As soon as Thirdy was dismissed in his last class, he headed straight to the mall to buy a suit for Bea's graduation ball tomorrow. He was pretty excited for this event that he had a hard time falling asleep at night.

"Sir, bagay po sa'yo 'to." the sales lady suggested to Thirdy while handing him a navy blue colored suit.

Thirdy smiled. "That actually looks nice but I don't think bagay 'yan sa gown ng partner ko."

That made him stop for a moment. He didn't know what would be the color of Bea's gown. He wanted to punch himself for not asking her.

"I think I'd go with this one instead, miss." Thirdy said, handing the white suit that he chose.

"Prepare ko lang po 'yung suit niyo, sir." she replied. "For the payment, kindly have it settled at the cashier po."

Thirdy made his way to the cashier and settled his suit, after he was done, he waited at the couch and decided to call Beatriz.

"Bei," Thirdy started when Bea picked up his call on the third ring.

"Yes, Thirds?"

"I was wondering... what would be the color of your gown tomorrow?"

Bea chuckled on the other line. "Why does it feel like you are so shy to ask me that?"

Thirdy hissed. "Sige, pagtripan mo pa ako, Beatriz!"

"Fine. Hindi na! My gown is pink, okay na?"

"Yeah. Bye, thanks." Thirdy immediately ended the call.

Bea got pissed at Thirdy because she was about to ask him a question but he ended the call just like that as if he didn't have some phone etiquette.

"Bwisit talagang Thirdy 'to!" Bea blurted out.

Ana's brows furrowed. "Why?"

"He ended the call agad! I was going to ask him sana if he will pick me up tomorrow or sa Crowne na kami magkikita." Bea explained.

Ana laughed out loud, much to Bea's annoyance. "The guy was tensed, Isabel Beatriz!"

"Why would he?"

"For crying out loud, Beatriz!" Ana exclaimed. "Hindi mo ba napapansin? May gusto sa'yo 'yun si Thirdy!"

Bea rolled her eyes, dismissing the idea that Thirdy likes him in a romantic way. "We're good friends, Ana. Stop making an issue."

Ana sighed. "When are you going to accept the fact that you are already falling for Thirdy, too? Bea, you're not like that. Aminin mo na kasi."

Bea gathered all her things before she stood up from her seat. "I gotta go, Ana. I'll see you tomorrow at the ball."

"You're running away from me because I was right, Bea." Ana shouted. It was loud enough for Bea to hear.

"Why did I fall for Thirdy?" Bea mentally asked herself when she got inside her car.

Bea closed her eyes and rested her head on the window to shrug off all the thoughts that were running on her mind. She didn't want to think of anything right now.

"Hija," Bea's driver called her attention. "Hindi mo ba sasagutin 'yang cellphone mo? Kanina pa may tumatawag sa'yo."

She quickly took her phone out and answered the call.

"Hello, Ma!" Bea excitedly greeted her mother on the other line.

"Where are you, Bea? Someone's waiting for you here at the house."
