The Life Note At A Time

Kabanata 11

"Make a wish!" sabi ko pagkalapit sa kanya. Tumingin sya sa paligid saka ngumiti. He pinched my nose then closed his eyes to make a wish.

I place the cake on the table then walked to the living area. Nanduon na kasi si Mitch na may kasamang babae. To my surprised, it was Joann. Ex girlfriend of Ethan. Tumingin siya sakin kaya I smiled to her nicely.

Nakaupo na sila sa sofa. Bale may dalawang sofa. Sa left side ay ang si Ian, ako, si Shawn, at si Ethan. Sa kabila naman ay sila Iyah, Mitch, Tony and Joann.

Palipat lipat ang tingin ko mula sa amin patungo kila Mitch na nakataas na ang kilay sakin.

"Uh... I'll go get the drinks," binasag ko na ang katahimikan. Hinatak ko si Mitch patayo.

"Kaya mo na yan," reklamo nya. Pinanlakihan ko sya ng mata kaya sumunod narin. Hinarap ko kaagad sya. She look at me confused.

"What is it?" she said like she knows already why I drag her here.

"So, are you guys close, huh." kumunot ang noo nya saka tumawa.

"Why would I get along with that bitch," dere deretsong sabi nya.

"Low your voice sis," she rolled her eyes before speaking again.

"Pinilit nya ako okay. Gusto daw makipagbalikan ng gaga," hindi natapos ang sinasabi nya ng pumasok si Ethan. Napakagat nalang ako sa lower lip ko saka kumuha ng drinks. It has bacardi, blacklabel and smirnoff.

Naglakad ako pabalik at nakitang hindi sila nagpapandinan. Tumikhim ako kaya napalingon sila sakin. Tinaas ko ang hawak kong bucket habang nakangiti. Nilapag ko iyon sa center table saka umupo sa tabi ni Shawn. He wrapped his right arm on my waist after he get us a Bacardi on our glass.

"Thanks," I said when he poured the drink on my glass. I look at everyone. They are now talking comfortably.

"Guys, let's do Never have I ever!" Ian said while smiling playfully, pumalakpak pa na akala mo ay isang prof na nahuli ang estudyanteng natutulog. Hinila nya ang center table sa may tv saka umupo sa carpet.

"Yawa," sabi ni Tony. I laughed silently when Mitch pulled him to seat beside her on the carpet. They form a circle kaya hinila ko narin si Shawn.

"Oh ano, bro! Bilis," aya ni Tony kay Ethan. Kakamot kamot sa noo si Ethan paupo sa tabi ni Joann. Ayun nalang kasi ang vacant space. Ian started the game. We all raise our right hand. We looked like we're going to say Panatang Makabayan.

"Fold a finger if you ever kissed in public," I rolled my eyes to his statement. We all fold our fingers. Its my turn now.

"Uhm, Fold a finger if you ever dated before," No one's fold their fingers except Shawn. Yeah right she already had a girlfriend before. I felt his arm on my waist again before he spoke up.

"Fold a finger if you ever seen a ghost," he casually said. We all laughed in his nonsense statement. Of course we all fold our fingers.

Kinabukasan. Napabalikwas nalang ako ng gising nang marinig ang katok sa kwarto ko.

Pumupungay pa ang mata ko ng lumapit ako sa pinto hindi na nagabala pang maghilamos. Pagkabukas ay nakita ko si Shawn na naka uniform. His hair was fixed on the side while some strands of his hair was falling on his face. Napapalunok pa sya ng tignan ko ito.

"What?" I asked. Tumalikod kasi sya sakin.

"Get ready, you already ditch your morning class," sabi nya saka sinara ang pinto. Problema nya.

Umirap lang ako saka humarap sa salamin at nakitang nakabra lang ako. Oh my god! Buti nalang at naka shorts parin ako. I was so lazy last night. I look on the wall clock on the wall behind my bed. It's already 12:30. I was only have 30 munites to go in the Campus.
