"C, nagri-ring ang phone mo," ani Wendy.

Nang maproseso ang kanyang sinabi ay nagpaalam na ako sa kagrupo ko para lapitan si Wendy na kasalukuyang hawak-hawak ang aking phone.

"Salamat," I said.

"Pahiram ulit, ha? Hindi ko pa naka-copy 'yung file," abot niya sa akin sabay salikop ng mga kamay.

Naparolyo ako ng mga mata habang tinitignan kung sino ang tumatawag. It's Thea.

Sinilip ko muna si Wendy bago ilapit ang phone sa tenga nang sagutin ko iyon.

"Am I your database or something?" I scoffed and shook my head.

Tinawanan niya lamang ako at nagpasalamat saka na umalis sa upuan ko.

"What are you talking about?" I heard from the other line.

"Wala. Kausap ko si Wendy," I answered to Thea. "Bakit ka napatawag?"

I fixed the stuff on my table that Wendy used. She probably just robbed my things again to do her unfinished homeworks.

I heard Thea grunted from the other line. "Coleen Allester, bitchesa ka talaga! Kanina pa ako text nang text sayo tapos hindi mo nababasa?!"

My lips parted. "Sorry, busy lang dahil sa group project. Wait, let me see-"

"Huwag na! Ito na sasabihin ko na lang!" Biglang sumigla ang kanyang boses. "After this call, visit the link that I sent you immediately! Paniguradong magugulat ka! Oh, my ghad. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako maka-get over!"

"Tungkol saan 'to?" My forehead creased.

Wala akong maalala na may kung ano na dapat kong abangan. Thea here was very random and out of a sudden kaya naman sobra akong naging kuryoso roon.

On the other hand, I heard Thea shrilled. But after a short while, she took a deep breath and composed herself.

"Okay, okay. I'll put the call down so you can see it now. Tignan mo na, ha? Sabihin mo sa akin kung anong opinyon mo roon! Abby and I are just waiting in the chatroom. Bye!"

"H-Huh?"

Hindi na siya nakasagot pa at tuluyan na ngang tinapos ang tawag. Napailing ako. I bit my lip when I was maneuvering my phone and just like what she directed, I really saw a link on my dm. Base roon ay halata na agad na galing iyon sa Instagram at nang pindutin, kailangan ko pang ilapit ang mukha sa screen ng aking phone upang intindihin ang ibig noon sabihin.

I cocked my head in confusion. Well, nothing's so surprising in Peter's Instagram post aside from my proximity with Ghunter.

I pursed my lips and I felt my cheeks flushed when I zoomed it in. Kailan ito nakunan? I mean, anong oras?! I looked so engrossed with something and I was too close to Ghunter! Nasa hamba kami ng hagdan. Mukha akong tangang nakahilig sa kanyang dibdib at naka-peace sign!

Napatakip ako ng mukha nang ilang sandali. The photo was taken during the party. Sigurado akong pagkatapos na iyon ng nakakahiyang sayaw namin ni Ghunter dahil base sa litrato ay iaakyat na ako nito patungo sa room ko. Kaya nang maalala na naman ay binuhusan ako ng kahihiyan.

What the hell was I thinking? I was just lucky enough that Ghunter didn't bring up that topic ever again after that night. Or else, I'd surely go in my closet for weeks just to hide my shameful face from him!

Napapikit ako nang mariin bago ulit pagmasdan ang litrato. We were happily posing for the picture at the living area while hmm... Allan was raising the champagne. Ano naman ang dapat kong ikagulat dito? Was Thea just pulling a prank on me?
