Kisses' POV
I started walking away from the vendor sa sobrang hiya at nagsimula ng hanapin si Maymay. I saw her with Edward and two other guys kaya medyo nagdalawang isip akong lumapit when she saw me and waved me over. That's when I see him...
"IKAW!?"
What the hell is he doing here!? I mean... well, Kisses naman. Why won't the guy be here eh barkada nga pala sya ni Edward.. Hayy. Small world.
"She's studying here!?" Markus exclaimed to Maymay. Maymay just laughed because of his reaction bago lumapit sa akin at hinatak palapit sa table nila.
"Yup, Markus. She's new here. Dun sya sa section nila Donny at Edward. Kaya it would really be nice if you two get along..." sabi ni Maymay at napatingin sa akin, confusion all over my face.
"Seski, this is Markus and RJ from the party, remember?" pakilala nya sa akin sa dalawa. How can I forget?
"Yeah. I do remember. How can I forget?" I said and my mind went back to that night..
*Flashback*
It's been two weeks since I got back here in Philippines. To be honest, I'm getting a little bored already. I haven't gone out, not even once kasi saan naman ako pupunta? Buti nalang at naisipan akong dalawin ng bestfriend kong si Maymay at niyaya sa isang summer party..
It turns out it was an end of summer party kaya karamihan ng dumalo ay mga estudyante from the same school na papasukan ko sa susunod na pasukan. I'm not a party girl but Maymay convinced me that it would be good to know people before the class starts.
"Seski, I'd like you to meet Edward." she started introducing me to this guy with adoration really obvious in her voice. He must be someone special for her.
The guy just nodded at me and I just waved my hand timidly.
"Hi, I'm Kisses." just as I introduced my name, may dalawang guy naman na biglang sumulpot sa tabi namin..
"Pre, tara! Laro daw tayo ng Shots or Dare kasama sila Anikka!" excited na sabi ng isa habang ung isa naman ay kumuha ng dalawang red cups sa dumaan na waiter.
Hindi ata nila kami napansin ni Maymay dahil nagulat pa sila ng mapalingon sa amin..
"Hi guys!" bati ni Maymay..
"Uyy, Maymay! Musta?" bati nung isa habang ung isa naman ay nakatingin sa akin na para bang curious.. Medyo nacoconcious ako sa mga tingin nya kaya ibinaling ko nalang ang atensyon ko sa mga nagsswimming sa pool.
"Who's this beautiful girl you're with?" I heard the guy asked and from the looks of it mukhang sya yung tipo ng lalaki na bolero at playboy.
"Oh yeah, guys.. I'd like you to meet Kisses. She's my friend from the States. Kakabalik nya lang dito sa Pinas.. and this is Markus and RJ naman. Friends ni Edward." pakilala ulit ni Maymay. Si RJ ang naunang nakipagkamay at sumunod naman si Markus na para bang ayaw ng bumitaw matapos ang ilang segundo.
He was looking at me intently which was making me feel weird kaya napayuko nalang ako at agad na binawi ang kamay ko mula sa pagkakahawak nya.
"Hoy, Markus! Hands off ha! Wag mong itulad tong kaibigan ko sa mga babae mo.." babala ni Maymay na ikinatawa lang ni Markus.
"Sorry, sorry. Na-carried away lang. Hahaha. Nice to meet you though, angel." nakangiting sabi ni Markus sabay kindat pa. Hindi ko nalang ito pinansin pero ramdam ko ang pag-init ng pisngi ko sa sinabi nya.
