What If (St. Mary's U Series #1)

Chapter 25

Happy Reading!

"Good morning!" I greeted my friends while stretching my arms. Tumabi ako sa kanila Carlynn ng upo sa labas ng tent. Kumuha na rin ng gatas.

"Hmm... someone's in a good mood today." Carlynn gave me a meaningful  smirk.

"Bakit? What do you mean? Did something happen?" Chan innocently asked.

"Nagkita lang naman sila ni Vernon kagabi."

My cheeks suddenly burn. Sa pagkakatanda ko, tulog na sila ni Chantalle kagabi pagbalik ko ah? Don't tell me kaya siya nagyaya mauna sa tent dahil nakita niya si Vernon sa likod ko?

Chantalle's lips parted. "Omg! Kaya naman pala!"

Umikot ang mata ni Khalil at nag crossed arms.

"Paabot naman ng popcorn sa bag ko, Carlynn!" sino pa ba? no other than Benjamin Alexander. Inabot ni Lynn ang popcorn ng walang reklamo.

Hanggang dito ba naman may popcorn pa din. Hays.

As usual to Austin, he's just quiet but I know he is listening to us. Di niya lang talaga trip magsalita.

"Sana all my love life!" Lynn rolled her eyes and downed her coffee. "Nakaka-bitter kayo -- " as if on cue, her phone suddenly rang.

"Sino ba 'to?" Kunot nuong tanong niya sa sarili.

Sumilip naman kami ni Chan sa cellphone niya. That number seems familiar.

Carlynn answered the phone.

"Hello? Sino 'to? Ang aga aga nangiistorbo ka." Poker faces niyang sabi.

"What the ef?! Jacks? How did you get my number?! Alam mo bang kakapalit ko lang dahil sayo!" naiinis na tanong niya.

So, si Kuya Jacks pala. Kaya pala familiar yung number.

"Can you please lower your voice?" bored na sabi ni Austin bago ulit sinuot ang heaphones niya.

"Why are you shouting Carlynn?" si Benj na walang kamay malay sa nangyayari, na akala mo hindi kami magkakalapit.

"Shut up!" hindi ko alam kung sinong sinisigawan niya. Kung si Kuya Jacks ba o sila Austin.

Carlynn marched to a tree not far from us. We can still hear her loud voice, but not so loud like earlier.

Nagulat na lang ako ng biglang natawa si Chantalle.

"Euri, check this one!"

I can't help but to laugh as well. Pano ba naman kasi yung childhood story nila Benj at Khalil na pinagsasabi nila kagabi naipost sa freedom wall ng SMA. I continued to scroll down and my brow just arched on what I saw.

Mukhang mas dumami na ngayon ang fans nitong mga lalaking 'to ah.

'Aww how cute Khalil.'

'Tanggap pa din kita Khalil!'

'I love you Benj! Notice me pls'

'Let's go #TeamBenj'

'#TeamKhalilForever!'

'Whether it's true or not, I still love you Khalil'

'Huhu Benj koo'

'Waaah i kennat! Bakit ang cute niyong dalawa?!?!'

I shook my head in disbelief. Alam ko namang gwapo ang mga kaibigan ko, pero siguro sinwerte lang ako na naging friends ko sila.

After breakfast, I took a rest. I wore my white racer back and black leggings and did some stretchings and exercise to pass time.
