Masters of War

LXI.

INT. CLASSROOM — 6:15 PM

Brod, I saw you talking to a pretty chick earlier. Who was that?

A friend, Xander. Interested?

No. Parang may kamukha kasi? Like I've seen her somewhere before?

Pick-up line mo bulok na! Do you want her number?

Oh, I know now! That was your ex, asshole! A friend ka d'yan!

Huh? How did you know?

She was your lockscreen before you and Dione got together. That's why she looks familiar!

Shut up, brod! That's all in the past now.

Oh, yeah. There's Hera now, right? You lucky ass! Puro magaganda ang nagiging girlfriend mo.

Well, just because they're all pretty doesn't mean that I'm lucky. Io left me. Dione cheated. I just hope it's different with Hera.

Ikaw ang umayos kay Hera, Zeus. Most of our brods find her beautiful, baka paiyakin mo lang?

That won't happen, Xander.
