"Kain muna kayo."

"Salamat po tita!" sabi ni Erwin sa mama ni Rylle na si Tita Jen. Ilang oras na ang lumipas at hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin kami tapos sa pagsagot ng mga answer sheets. Pasalamat nalang kami at dito kami nag group study sa bahay ni Rylle dahil meron talaga silang room for study purposes only. So nice.

Sa totoo lang, madali lang naman sana itong sagutan ang mga answer sheets. Kaso nga lang, hindi kami makapagsagot ng maayos kasi puro sila chika. Not me though. Kanina pa kasi ako tapos sa pagsagot, sila lang ang hindi.

Kaya rin kanina pa dikit ng dikit si Keith sakin kasi gustong mangopya. At dahil sa ayaw na ayaw kong magpakopya, tinuturuan ko nalang sya para atleast, sa kanya din mismo nanggaling ang sagot.

"Salamat po, tita Jen." I said to Tita and begin eating the pizza that she gave to us. Nang umalis na si Tita Jen ay saka lang nagsimulang kumain ang iba. At hindi lang basta kain. Ang ingay nila. At nag-aagawan na naman sa pagkain.

"Ano ba Erwin! Huwag mo ngang ubusin ang pizza! Hindi lang ikaw ang kakain!"

"Kumalma ka nga Rylle. Sinabi ko bang uubusin ko 'to? Hindi naman ah." kalmadong sagot ni Erwin sabay kuha sa isang slice ng pizza. Rylle just rolled her eyes and get a slice of pizza and continued answering the sheets.

Nakita kong napatingin si Tita Jen sa amin kaya I just smiled at her and turned to them, pointing Tita Jen to let them know that she's watching us.

At dahil sa wala na akong magawa, I turned on my phone and checked my Facebook. Una kong chineck ang notifications since marami na talaga and that's when I noticed someone.

Zedrick Fortaleza sent you a friend request.

Oh. That guy during the Intramurals. I accepted his friend request and scrolled down on my news feed. I was laughing when I saw some memes and would just shut up after when a chat head popped up.

Zedrick Fortaleza: Hi! Long time no see!

Keila Dela Vega: Hi.

Zedrick Fortaleza: Kamusta ka na?

Keila Dela Vega: I'm fine.

Zedrick Fortaleza: Anong ginagawa mo ngayon?

Keila Dela Vega: Studying and answering the sheets the subject teacher gave to us.

Zedrick Fortaleza: That's a lot of work.

Keila Dela Vega: How about you? Studying also? Exam is almost near.

Zedrick Fortaleza: Uh no. I'm busy teaching my lil bro right now but I'll study later.

Keila Dela Vega: Wow. Do your best teacher!

"Zedrick Fortaleza? That guy before?"

Agad akong napahawak sa dibdib ko dahil sa gulat. I almost forgot that Keith is beside me. His forehead creased while looking at my phone. There he goes again, invading my little privacy.

"Stop looking at my phone." I said firmly. He laughed a little and continued what he was doing.

"Zedrick? That guy before?" Tin asked.  I nod at her and her eyes widened in shock.

"You keep in touch after Intramurals?!" she is literally excited. Ngayon lang sya nakapag-usap ng matino sa amin. Might as well answer all her questions now.

"No, we didn't." I chuckled. "Ngayon lang sya nag chat sa akin."

When my phone ring, all of them looked at my phone. Nang makita kong si Zed ang nag message ay ini-open ko ito.
