Harley also told me na matagal na rin niyang gustong makipagkaibigan sa'min. She's acquainted with Jean and she liked her company so much that when she found out Jean has other friends, she wanted to join us. Pero masyado raw siyang mahiyain.
Kuya Jacob even urged her to approach us saying that we're harmless, but hindi niya ginawa. Nakakaintimidate raw kaming apat 'pag magkasama.
Sinabi rin yun nila Harley nung first time naming lumabas kasama sila. 'Dun sa family restaurant nila kuya Glen. They told us that we look powerful together. Grade 7 palang, gusto na nilang kaibiganin kami.
Nag-aalangan lang silang lumapit kasi palagi raw kaming may sariling mundo. Nagulat nga raw sila when Jean invited them to her eighteenth birthday.
Actually...
We get that a lot. Believe it or not, wala kaming ibang kaibigan sa school. The four of us stick together every time.
I sighed. Gusto ko si Bern, pero hindi ko kailanman ginusto na maghiwalay silang dalawa. Gusto ko siyang kalimutan sa mabuting paraan. Hindi madali, but I'm getting there.
We don't really hangout inside the campus pero kahit ganun, ramdam parin namin ang tension between Irish and Bern. Magkaiba kami ng strand ni Irish but we always make sure na nasasamahan namin siya.
We don't think they're going to make up easily. Masyadong mabigat ang pinagdadaanan nilang dalawa.
Aside from her parents, may isa pa silang problema... Irish is already engaged to someone else.
