My Alter-ego ♥

Chapter Three: Another Girlfriend

"Yeah. Girlfriend." Sabi ni Toni with a proud smile on his face.

"Paano nangyari 'yun?" Napatingin sakin si Steven.

"Kasi he--"

"I courted her last night. Actually I was planning to make ligaw and harana but were in a bar last night and the environment wasn't that encouraging serenading her so I thought, what the heck just ask her." Tumawa si Toni. Tumingint ako Kay Steven and he's face is not that happy.

"You should have at least made an effort to do so." Emotionless yung mukha ni Steven.

"Okay naman na Steve. No prob na, okay?" Tumingin ako Kay Steve na nakatitig parin Kay Toni.

"Whatever." Tumayo siya at nilagay sa lababo yung pinagkainan niya. "I'm going to the studio. You coming bro?" Tinanong niya si Toni.

"Sige susunod nalang ako. I have to take Kayla to school." Sagot ni Toni.

"Teka, hindi na naman kayo papasok?" Tanong ko Kay Toni then Kay Steven pero hindi ako pinansin ni Steven at dumiretso lang siya palabas sa sala.

"Well we have to record a new song today so we're gonna have to borrow your notebooks again haha." Tumawa si Toni, sinakyan ko nalang din. Pino problema ko si Steven bakit siya nagka ka ganun.

"Well, I'm leaving. Thanks Kay." Lumabas na siya bago pa kami maka sagot.

"Okay then. Let's go?" Tanong ni Toni sakin with a gentle smile.

"Sige teka lang kukunin ko muna yung bag ko." Sabi ko.

"Okay. I'll wait for you in the car." He said. Another smile.

"Okay. Thanks." Sabi ko at Lumabas na siya ng dorm room at ako naman pumasok sa room ko para kunin yung bag ko.

Tahimik lang kami on the way sa school ko. Hindi pa naman kami ganoon katagal mag on kaya okay lang naman siguro itong awkwardness nato. Speaking of relationships, galit ba kanina si Steven? Bakit ganun yun kanina? Baka naman siguro kasi first boyfriend ko si Toni. Hindi naman kasi ako kagandahan at walang nagkaka interest saken. Paano ba naman, buhok ko ting ting, may split ends, patay na patay, hindi rin makinis or flawless ang katawan at mukha ko, in fact chubby nga 'ata ako eh, hindi rin mala model tong katawan ko gaya nung mga dinidate ni Steven or ni Mayne or ni Joreid or ni Stanley or ni Raffy or yung ex ni Toni 2 years ago. For short, I'm not the type of girl that boys would like.

"Toni, pwede ba magtanong?" Sabi ko para manahimik naman tong utak ko.

"Yeah sure basta ikaw." Sabi niya.

"Well uh--alam mo naman siguro na first boyfriend kita." Pinagsisihan kong sinabi ko yun dahil biglang napatingin na natatawa si Toni. But well, it's already out there so better continue it right?

"Yeah I'm aware and--hey, I'm not expecting anything like you know, if that's what you mean." Sabi niya. Tinabunan ko nalang yung mukha ko ng buhok ko kasi nahihiya ako dun sa sinabi niya. Awkward.

"No that's not what I meant but thanks anyway. Ang gusto kong itanong eh kung bakit ka ba nagkagusto sakin? I mean wala akong binatbat sa ex mo no." Sabi ko.

"Hey, you know what Kay, not everything is about beauty and I'm not saying that you're not beautiful because you are, okay? You just don't flaunt it like other girls and if you do, I bet you would be SO beautiful." Hinighlight niya talaga yung "SO" pero in fairness, it was one of the most beautiful things I've heard. Sana lang di siya nangbobola.

"Thank you."

"Besides, there's so many things to love about you other than your beauty." Sabi niya habang nakatingin sa daan.
