Chances Between Us

"Guys! Attention!"

Gio shouted, nasa room kami ngayon and just taking a rest after the 4-hours class for our MedTerm.

Kylie put down her phone and ade walked closer as she was trying to find a good signal near the window. Sofie's so weird because she's dolling up herself kanina pang umaga, and the rest of the boys were having a match in their mobile games.

All of us were in a circle, ganito kami ka-close na isang tawag lang e lalapit na kaagad. From the looks of him, maybe interesting ang sasabihin nya.

"You guys remembered about the outing were planning? I found the place, sobrang mura lang!" he exclaimed, parang rinig na rinig pati sa kabilang room sa lakas ng boses nya.

"Oh my!! Legit ba? Saan yan?" kylie seems excited, as i said before she's really the ma-travel type.

"Batangas!" he showed the pictures in his laptop, maganda nga at parang mala-boracay ang datingan.

"Mura ba talaga to gio? baka mapa-mura tayo sa presyo nito!" Pabirong sabi ni ren.

"Mas mura pa sa mura, may kakilala ako rito kaya mabibigyan tayo ng discount! Ano, G ba?" Agad naman nag-thumbs silang lahat, i did the same too. Tingnan lang natin kung makulayan nga yan.

And yet the day was ending again, kevin was supposed to be with me but he said that he need to meet his mom. Tuloy ay mag-isa akong naglakad palabas ng gate, i was not expecting anyone when his car stopped by again.

Almost a week narin pala nung huli kaming nagkita, naging busy kaming pareho kaya hindi ganun kadali na mag-hang out sa ngayon. But i guess today is an exemption.

He welcomed me with a smile, he's wearing his uniform at nakatali ang buhok nya. I smiled at him too and buckle up myself, baka makalimutan ko e.

"Kain tayo, nagugutom ka ba?" he asked me, it took some minutes bago sya magsalita.
"Is it okay for you? i mean-- baka busy ka?" i asked out of concern, naalala ko kasi kung gaano ka-busy si kevin kaya baka sya din ay ganun.
"I have time, what do you want to eat?" i crossed my arms, showing him that im thinking.

"Should we go for lasagna today?" I suggested, agad naman syang tumango.
"I was craving on that for days, okay let's go for that," he announced.

20 mins drive lang at nasa mall na kami, bago umalis ay naglagay muna ako ng tint sa lips at cheek. Nakatingin naman sya sakin habang ginagawa ko yun.

"Why? Gusto mo rin?" tatawa-tawa kong tanong, he just shrugged his head.
"Would that even last long? I mean-- cause were going to eat?" he fixed his uniform.
"This is a good brand, this actually lasts longer than your ex'es, boom!" he laughed at me.
"I got hit! Dang!" he exclaimed, we left the car and went straight to the elevator.

"I feel like you got smaller," he suddenly said, masama ko naman syang tiningnan.
"When did i even get taller, duh?" the elevator opened, naglakad na kami papunta sa restaurant.

He did the ordering, ako naman ay nakaupo lang sa table while having some scrolling game in twitter with my phone.

"Dania?"

A girl approached me, it took me a minute bago ko sya nakilala. She was one of my team-mate nung invictus.

"Hi, Alex right?" she nodded.
"Sorry to disturb you, i just came to greet you. Are you with your boyfriend?" she smiled.
"No, uh-- friend lang," i replied.
