“Wow you are here?” Ralph put his hands on his pocket. “And why Cy is not going to come with me?”
“Did she forgot to tell you?”
Bigla siyang lumapit sa amin. I felt something. When I saw V, I felt like my entire day was complete. What the heck, Cy. What the heck are you feeling?
“Kung hindi niya nasabi, ako na lang magsasabi” V looked at m and gave me a smile but I froze when he suddenly held my hand. “Me and Cyree? We are exclusively dating.”
“Exclusively dating? Through what? Tutoring Math?”
Napatingin ako kay Ralph. “Hey, guys stop”
“Bakit ka ba andito, V?”
“Let’s say, I received a invitation to compete here and then I saw you guys here and heard your conversation”
Nagtinginan kami ni Ralph.
“I’m going back to the hotel for a while. I’ll see you there, Cy and V, good luck to your comptetion.”
“Thanks, man”
I tell you, sa school, ok sila. Baka tumaas lang ‘yong temper nila kanina.
I watched Ralph as he went inside the hotel. I feel guilty as well na hindi natuloy ‘yong pagpunta namin sa kabilang side nung beach pero somehow, I also feel relieved. I crossed my arms and faced V.
“And ikaw, may competition ka ba talaga bukas?”
“Yup! Nasa luggage ko ‘yong skateboard ko. And nandoon teammates ko. Grabe, hinabol ko pa kanina ‘yong van na sinasakyan mo. Aren’t you thankful?”
“Why would I?”
“Hmmm kasi at least, naka-witness ka ng gwapong naghahabol sayo”
“Baliw ka talaga”
“I’m just kidding” Hindi ko namalayan na we started walking na pala. “You need to support me tomorrow, ok?”
“Mananalo ka naman eh”
“No kidding. Second round of eliminations na bukas. Kapag nanalo kami, we will be going to the championship. You need to cheer me up, ok?”
“My cheer is too expensive-“ I stopped walking and faced him. “So you should do good. You should win”
Gusto kong mainis sa kanya kasi iba ‘yong nasa isip niya ngayon when he should be reviewing because he might fail pero ano bang magagawa ko? His life revolved around skateboarding. It’s his happiness and if it’s happy in there, I will support him.
“Wow, hindi ka nagagalit?”
“Why would I?” We started walking again.
“Because you’re not mad. Because I’m not thinking about Math” I didn’t answered him. I can’t answer him. I just can’t.
