The next day, naging busy ang mga Senior Students for the Acquaintance Ball. Especially ako.
“ Maam? San ko po ilalagay tong flowers? “ The delivery boy asked.
“Dun oh. “
“Issa? Navy blue or turquoise blue? “
“Turquoise. Absolutely. “
“Jen, did you confirm the caterer’s ? “
“ Yea. Complete na Iss. “
As you see, ako kasi ang Chairman sa committee. I’ve been waiting to be the chairman for two years, and finally. Finally. Ako na talaga.
I looked around in satisfaction and finally put down my ever-trusty clipboard.
Sana, maging ‘THE’ Best Acquaintance Ball toh.
“ It will be. “ A voice replied.
Oops, I guess I said that out loud.
“ Coke ? “ offer ni Nathan.
“No thanks. “
Rembering our deal, umandar nanaman ang topak ko. I dug out my handkerchief.
“Ang pawis mo, oh. “ Sweet ko namang lambing sabay punas sa pawis.
Pero sa isip ko : BWAHAHA! Let my plan, commence!
Hindi naman pumalag si Nathan kaya pinunasan ko na lang talaga.
“ Sweet niyo ha. “ Comment ni Mr. Drummer, that appeared out of nowhere.
“ Dude, get a life. “ angal kaagad ni Nathan.
“Ikaw naman. Ma-istorbo lang kayo sandali, pikon kaagad? Hi, im Nikko, by the way. “ Ngiti ni Nikko sa akin.
“ Naku, miss. Sinagot mo itong bestfriend ko? Kawawa ka naman. Buti pa ako nalang sinagot mo.”
I smiled confidently, pero mataray paring sinagot : “ Im, so not his girlfriend. Di yan ang type ko. “
As usual, The Best in Pagmamaldita Ako.
I looked at Nathan and he just kept looking at the other way. AAAY, Affected?
“Hmm, ganun ba. “ Asar ni Nikko. “ You guys look cute together panaman. “
“Pare, pumunta ka ba dito para maki-tsismis sa akin? Tsssk. In love ka sa akin noh? “
“Lakas ng topak mo Nathan. Bulgar kita si chicks mo eh. “ Ismid ni Nikko.
“Anyway, ang sasabihin ko lang naman is, sabi ni Sir Mac, kausapin mo daw yung chairman sa Acquiantance Committee. It will be a great gig he said. “
I smiled. So hindi pala nila alam na Ako ang chairman? >: )
“Ayos yun Nik. Sino ba yun? Ka’tropa mo ? “
EH?! Lalaki kaagad? How sexist. Point 0.
“Ewan. Di ko nga kilala. All I heard is, tigasin daw yun. Daming napapahiya dun eh.
Naman. Ganun na ba talaga ang image ko? Ice Queen?
“ Sus. Resbakan mo na lang ? “ Tawa ni Nathan.
Suddenly, the radio announcer was on the P.A . : “ Miss Issa Dela Pena? Issa Dela Pena. Chairman of the
said committte ? Please come to the faculty building. You are badly needed. “
Sinilip ko si Nathan. It was kinda cute, the way na nakanganga siya. Hihihi x)
I looked at Nikko and shook his hand. “ Nice meeting you Nikko. Issa pala. I’d love to stay and chat but it seems like I have to go. Easy lang ha? Baka RESBAKAN mo ko eh . “ I smirked teasingly and walked away, leaving both boys in awe.
