Hue
Nasa bilyaran kami nina Jaxon, Chandler at Pocholo. Si Pocholo ay naging kaibigan ko noong maging kaklase ko siya sa isa kong subject noong second year. Gago din kaya nagkasundo kami.
Tumira ako. Natamaan ko ang kulay berdeng bola. I smirk at Chandler whose about to lose. Kapag nanalo ako dito, tangina, ihanda na niya ang wallet niya.
Titira muli sana ako nang biglang magsalita si Pocholo. Nakaupo siya sa upuan na nasa likod namin. May pinapanood siya sa kanyang cell phone.
"Tangina. Ang ganda talaga nitong si Cygny." He hissed as if he is wanking. "Swerte nitong Harrie, mga 'tol."
I face him. As I narrow my eyes at him, I ball my fists. Napakamot naman sa ulo si Chandler bago siya binatukan nang malakas.
"Puta! Bakit?" He glared at Chandler and I decided to just continue playing. This douchebag doesn't know that I have a past with Cygny. I should let him off the hook.
"HarNy your face." I whisper as my jaw tensed. Tumira akong muli. I failed hitting the blue ball. "Fuck."
It's now Jaxon's turn when I saw a familiar obnoxious figure walking towards us. May isang tao talagang makita mo lang ay nasisira na ang araw mo. 'Yung tipong makita mo lang ang anino niya ay mapapamura ka na lang. Siya iyong taong iyon.
Tangina.
"Yo." Basthy smiled at us. I just glared at him.
The scar I made last four years on his eyebrow is still evident that I'm about to kill him that night.
"I gotta get going. Baka may mapatay pa ako dito." I said through gritted teeth.
I should go. The last thing I want is to beat that faggot's ass. I've wasted too much energy on him, nakakapagod ding magsayang ng oras sa kanya.
Magmula noong malaman kong may namagitan sa kanilang dalawa ni Cygny, hindi na nanumbalik ang pagkakaibigan namin. Noong gabing nalaman ko iyon ay halos mapatay ko siya. Nagtagal nga siya nang ilang linggo sa hospital bago nakalabas, eh.
Hindi ko lang kasi matanggap na all this time, he was a snake who is waiting for my falldown-- a traitor who is standing on the background while waiting for me to fail.
Alam niyang mahal na mahal ko si Novy. Alam niyang siya lang ang babaeng minahal ko. Doesn't he knew about that thing called bro code?
That time, he tried to resurrect our friendship. But, I know that he knows that shit won't ever happen. Not on this lifetime.
Padabog akong naglakad patungo sa University. Tangina, anong gagawin ko ngayon? Tangina kasing Basthy 'yon, susulpot pa, mukha namang tubol.
As I cotinued walking, my cell phone vibrated. I shove it off of my pocket. I read the text message.
Cayley
Which part of two thirty o'clock in the afternoon didn't you understand? Jusko naman, Hue, alas-tres na ng hapon. Lintik ka!What. The. Fuck.
Napapikit ako sa inis. Bakit ko 'to nakalimutan?
Tangina.
Tangina talaga.
May thesis consultation nga pala kami sa thesis adviser namin ngayong hapon. Tangina. Bakit sa dami ng bagay na pwede kong makalimutan ay ito pa?
Lagot ako nito kay Cayley, hayop.
Tumakbo na ako nang mabilis. Hindi naman kalayuan sa University ang bilyaran. Ilang minuto ang makalipas ay nakarating na rin ako roon.
