Buong oras ng pagkain namin ay hindi na siya tumigil kaka-asar sakin. Tini-tease niya ako bawat subo ko ng pag kain ko. Sabayan niya pa ng pag ngiti niyang na pang-asar at loko. Konti nalang talaga ma ba-badtrip na ako nun. Pinigilan ko lang yung sarili ko na kutusan siya ng malutong dahil nilibre niya ako ng food.

It's currently tuesday and normal day lang naman as of now for me. We are currently discussing about different types of stress and how to cure it. When someone had stress, sobrang laking factor na ang naaapektuhan nun sa tao na iyon. Dahil it bothers them. They can't easily focus and some of them leads to overthink.

My gaze saw Juan. He is one sit apart with me. I can't believe it, sobrang gwapo niya pala in person lalo na kapag tinitigan mong mabuti. His jawline makes it more attractive and nag co-complement lang sa buong face niya. I-add mo pa na he gained so much muscles. Like, hindi ka makikipag away sa kanya kung ayaw mong mabangasan.

Hindi ko alam pero I suddenly remember Dave. Sabi niya pupunta daw siya dito, pero wala naman. Wala namang Dave Ildefonso na nag pakita sakin. It's fun to think pero umasa ako dun sa sinabi niya. Hindi ko naisip na maybe, he was just joking around. Na baka pinapaasa niya lang ako.

Or, gumaganti kaya siya sakin?

Our class ended and palabas na ako when Juan approach me. Nag mamadali ba 'to?

"Hanna. Are you free? Can you go with me?" He asked. Inalala ko muna kung meron akong gagawin or something. Mamaya sasama ako tapos matatarantang umalis dahil may nakalimutan si gaga.

"Uhm. Wala naman, why?" Ani ko. Anong meron? Out of a sudden ah.

"Nothing. I just want to have your opinion. You know, girls thing." He shyly said to me. Oh, mang hihingi ba 'to ng advice?

"Ah. Let me guess it... is it for the girl you like?" I asked him while smiling widely. He slowly nodded at me.

Ay, may gusto na siya.

Pero ba't ka affected?

Nasa tapat na kami ng kotse niya. Juan's car and things are kinda pricey. Napag hahalataan talaga na mayaman sila. Well, siguro their parents just really worked hard for them?

But me? My parents is also working hard naman ah.

Oh, isa lang pala. So, parent lang.

Mag sasalita na sana ako when a man speak behind us.

"Pssst! Where do you think you're going?" A man asked. Halata naman sa boses.

We both look behind and me, I was shocked to see Dave!

What the hell he is doing here?

"S-samahan si Juan." I said to him. Why I suddenly became nervous. I didn't do something wrong naman.

"Then what about me?" He asked. Kunot noo ako lalong tumingin sa kanya. Ano namang klaseng mga tanong 'yan?

"Anong what about you bro?" It is Juan who asked. Oh, no. Wag naman sana ha. Di ako ready.

"As far as I remember, she is scheduled to be with me." Dave said and pinandilatan ako. "Right?" He added. I was caught. Schedule ba 'yun?

"A-ah ano," Hindi ko alam yung isasagot ko sa mga ganitong sitwasyon!

Yes, may usapan kami ni Dave. Pero I already said yes to Juan! It is so shame if bigla ko siyang iiwan ng ganun? Like, hello?

"But it seems like she doesn't want to be with you." Taas noong sagot ni Juan. Oh, syet ka Juan! Wag naman ganyan! Don't make a scene here, please!

Dave silently mouthed WOW. Oh, my god. He is pissed!

"What did you just say? I mean, were friends and you don't know anything, bro." Dave said while emphasizing the word BRO. Ghad! What are you doing? Both of you!

"But I knew something that makes me wanna protect her." Juan said. Ano ba? Gusto niyo ba ng away. Pero teka, ano yung alam ni Juan? I never mentioned anything to him.

Mag sasalita na sana ulit si Dave when I speak. "Okay, I think tama na muna 'yan." I calmly said to both of them. Kailangan ko ng mag salita. The atmosphere here is so hot and nakakakaba! Hindi ko kayang umawat or something! Baka ang end ay parehas ko lang silang hampasin ng tungkod ko!

I first look at Juan. "Juan, I'm sorry. I can't be with you today. I just remembered that I still have some things to do. Uhm, alam kong nakakahiya kasi umoo na ako but can we re-schedule it?" Nag aaalinlangan kong tanong kay Juan. Sorry na.

"Of course. Just tell me when." He said to me and smile. Okay, he smiled. So, I can assure myself. "Sa friday? G?" I asked. He just nodded and smile at me. Okay, one down.

I slowly look to Dave which is pulang-pula na at alam kong nang gagalaiti na 'to sa galit. Ewan ko! Hindi ko alam kung bakit magagalit 'tong mokong na 'to.

"So, as I've said earlier. May mga gagawin pa po ako. I really have to go." I said to him. He just showed me a nothing reaction face. I don't want to speak further. The more you speak, the more mistake.

"Oh, paano? Ingat kayong dalawa, ha? Bye!" Ani ko bago mag lakad papaalis sa kanila.

STRESS AKO TEH!
