"Hhm. Sabay na tayong maglunch mamaya sa canteen" I invited him. I look at him and surprise to see him looking at me.

"Sige"

***

"Good morning, class" Ms.Chaluer greeted us so we do.Q

...

"Class, before we start our lesson for today. I want to announce something"

Everyone got tense looking at Ms.Chaluer.

I turn my head in the backseat to check my stepsister.

Shes staring at the guy on my side. Red.

Nahagip ako ng paningin niya at siniringan lang ako nito at kaagad rin namang ibinalik ang tingin sa aking katabi.

"Sa dinami-dami, siya pa" I whispered.
"Sinong kausap mo?" I got shock when I heard Red.
"N-Nothing"

....

"Were going to have a masquerade ball"

It took 2 seconds before everyone have process in their mind what Ms.Chaluer said.

"A masquerade ball, huh?" I heard the man beside me.
"So boys, kung may gusto kayong makasamang i-date sa ball na yun. Sinasabi ko sa inyo, ngayon palang iinvite niyo kaagad siya. Sa March 25 gaganapin"
"Ohhhhhhh!!!!" nagsigawan ang mga lalaki habang ang mga babae naman ay nagtitilian.

Nagkatinginan kami ni Red.

"'So, ca—"'
"Red!" sabay sana kaming may sasabihin sa isa't-isa ni Red pero naputol yun dahil dumating si Stephanie.
"Ikaw na ang date ko, ha?" she confidently said. Without asking a permission, sila na kaagad ang magka-date.

Tumingin sa akin si Red.

"My princess!" eto pa ang isa.
"What is it?" I calmly said.
"For that night, I will be your prince and you will be my princess" same. Without any permission of mine.

....

"Shes my date" napalingon ako kay Red.
"But you are my date no—"
"He's already my date!" I rolled my eyes into Stephanie.
"Gggrrr..... Whatever!" then she walked out.
"B-But, my princess. I waited for this moment for so long. And your don't want to be my partner?" he sounds begging.
"I'm sorry, Terrence, but shes already my date. Don't worry you can still borrow her if you want to dance with her." the sarcastic Red attacks again.

#LUNCHTIME#

Nasa canteen na kami ngayon at kumakain ng burger. Of course, extra cheese parin itong sakin.

"You never ask a permission on me that I will be your date" pangunguna kong tugon.
"Ikaw rin naman." he just said as he bite on his burger.

....

"K-Kasi n-nauna ka namang mag sabi ng ganun kaya pambawi lang"
"Mabuti na rin yun"
"Pano naging mabuti yun? Ayaw ko nga sanang magkaroon ng date. Pupunta lang ako dun para mag-vlog"
"That's the point. Ayoko ring pumunta ng may kasamang date sa ball. So I need a person who's just like me and you are the perfect person I've searching for."
"Person who's just like you?" I made a questioning look.
"Love hater" he answered.
"Oh, ok. Same to my explanation" I said.

***

Nakabalik na kami sa classroom and all the eyes are with us.

....

"May gagawin ka ba after class?" Red coldly ask while were walking through our seats.
"None'' I answered.
"Ok. Pumunta ka sa bahay, sumabay ka nalang ulit sa akin"
"Hhmm? Are we going to ride a bycicle, again?" I look at him.
"No, nakakotse ako ngayong araw."
"Aahh... Ok"
