TODAY is Wednesday. Pagpasok ko palang ng room ay namataan ko agad si Lance. Nakasimangot? Bad mood yata. Ang plano kong batiin siya ay hindi ko na tinuloy.
Dumiretso na ako sa aking pwesto.
Dinumog agad ako ng mga kaibigan ko.
"Hey! What we're you thinking?"
Inis na tanong ni Alexa. Huh?
"What are you talking about?"
Pinasadahan ko sila ng tingin.
"May tsismis na naman na kumalat. Someone saw you with James yesterday. Magkasama kayo? Kelan pa kayo naging close?" Jaybee asked. Nasa harapan ko si Alexa, Nicolie, Jaybee at Les. Nakaupo naman sa kaliwa ko si Margaux at kanan si Hailey.
"Uh. Bumili ako kahapon ng gitara. Then I met him there." Lito kong sagot. What's wrong? Masama ba yon?
"Some are saying na you're cheating at Lance. Dahil nga may kasama kang iba." Hailey said.
"What? Cheating? How come na naging cheating iyon eh we're not even in a relationship. Psh." Napairap ako. What's wrong with those people? Puro sila gossips. They're here at school to study not to fish some gossips. Tss.
"Diba nga I told you, Frey. Pinagkalat na Lance na kayo raw. Kaya iyon ang pinaniniwalaan ng lahat. Of course, sa kanya na mismo galing." Si Les.
Napatingin ako sa likod. Kay Lance. Na nakatingin na pala sa akin kanina pa. Looks like alam niya ang pinaguusapan namin. I glared at him. He just raised his brow at me.
Iniwas ko ang aking tingin. Siya ba talaga ang nagpakalat niyon? But he did not admit it when I asked him. Baka naman hindi siya?
Nawala ang inis ko. Baka hindi siya.
"Pero in fairness. Gwapo si James ah. Ang galing pa sumayaw ang lambot ng katawan. Shems." Maharot aniya ni Nicolie. Napairap lamang kaming lahat. Nangisay pa ang baliw.
"How's James? Mabait ba?"
Jaybee asked.
"He's kind and friendly. He approached me. Kumain kami sa Pepper Lunch. He paid the bill. And.. he took my number."
They all squealed with what I said. Causing to get our classmates attention. Napailing na lang ako.
"If I let you choose. Between Lance and James. Who will you choose." Sa tanong ni Margaux, lahat sila ay napatingin sa akin. Anticipating my answer.
Sino nga ba? I like Lance. I think I like him since last year. While James, I just met him yesterday. Hindi ko siya gaano pang kilala. So for now, I'll choose...
"Si Lance." Wala sa sarili kong sabi.
And there goes their annoying squeal of them.
My phone beeped. Who would text me? Rade? Oh. Si James.
James:
Hey, Freya. Are you busy? Can you come with me later?
Tinitigan ko ng ilang segundo ang kanyang text. Am I busy? I think I am. I'm with Lance. I want to be with him.
Freya:
Where?
But, I want to know him more. Should i come?
James:
Mall. Tell me if you're going. I wanna hang out with you.
Hindi na ako sumagot pa at ibinulsa na ang aking cellphone.
Palabas na kami ng gate nang bigla siyang tumikhim. Si Lance.
"Hey. About the MWF deal. Let's stop it for a while." Napalingon ako sa kanya. He avoid my eyes.
"Why?" I can hear my disappointment from my voice.
Tumingala siya at pumikit.
"I'll be busy so..."
