CELINE
"Alam mo napaghahalataan kang mukhang pera." Agad naman akong nagtaka sa sinabi nya, tumingin ako sa paligid dahil baka may nakarinig sa kanya, i-judge pa ko.
"Pinagsasabi mo" Irita ko syang tiningnan at ibinalik ulit ang tingin sa labas.
Nasa bus kami ngayun papuntang UP, nagcommute lang kami ni Claire para sabay kaming pumunta. We are wearing casual clothes kasi di naman required na mag uniform as long as may slip.
"Kasi sinabi ko lang mayayaman nag aaral dun, sumama ka kaagad" Pang-aasar nya sakin.
"Sira, hindi ako gold digger kasi may sarili kaming gold duh" pagyayabang ko sa kanya. She just flipped her hair to my face, at tinalikuran na ko.
"Kung ipagyayabang mo yung pamana na gold na ngipin ng lola mo, talk to my hand." I just laughed at her reaction masyado kasi syang maarte kaya ayaw nyang pinag uusapan yun cause I will say disgusting things about that, like there's still cavity in there.
"You know that Ian's family is rich right?" She raised her brow before nodding.
"I just thought na baka sa UP sya nag aaral that's why I give it a shot, malay mo dun na pala sya nag aaral." Nakakunot pa rin ang noo nya and thinking something while looking at me.
"Tanong mo nga kung bakit sya palipat lipat ng school" Napangiti ako sa sinabi nya, every year kasi Ian would transfer to other schools na para bang goal nya pasukan lahat ng school.
"I actually message him last night."
"You did?" Wait nag uusap na kayo gabi gabi? Kailan pa? What his reply? Is he asking your true identity?" Excited na tanong nya.
"Una hindi kami nag uusap gabi gabi, pangalawa nag usap lang kami yesterday kasi nireplyan ko sya, and his reply was okay." Dismayado ang mukha ni Clare I know it wouldn't satisfied her.
"His so boring." Sumandal ulit sya sa upuan nya, I just ignore her opinion cause for me it wasn't.
"You reply right? Ano sabi mo?" Akala ko hindi na sya mag tatanong pero she still curios.
"I ask him if we could be friends."
Nagulat ako ng bigla syang masamid, umiinom pala sya ng tubig. I didn't notice.
"Why would you ask that?" I just give her a what do you mean look, is that inappropriate?
"Sis ang naive mo, try to put yourself in his situation. Are you going to accept his offer without knowing him?" I think not, don't talk to strangers ika nga. But he said it's okay.
"He said it was okay, what's wrong with that?" This time nabuga na nya sakin ang tubig na iniinom nya shit lang. I immediately get my handkerchief para punasan ang mukha ko, Claire just laughing at me, she almost cried.
"Alam mo kung magiging kayo, your the weirdest couple I could ever imagened.
Magsasalita pa sana ako, kaso andito na pala kami sa UP. We immediately go to line up but before we could enter the university, sinita pa kami ng guard.
"Miss bawal po ang naka shorts dito" I looked at Claire's annoyed faced and smile a bit.
"Kuya, were not students here napaka-" Hinila ko na sya agad bago pa mag eskandalo.
"Sabi sayo bawal yang suot mo, yan tuloy di ka makakapasok hays." I can't leave here her, kaya uuwi nalang kami but before I could ask her to go home tinulak na nya ako.
"You can go in, magpapalit lang ako ng damit mabilis lang toh. Susunod ako" Na weirduhan ako sa inasta nya dahil panay tingin sya sa likod ko. I look back but I saw nothing.
"Sure ka? walang malapit na shop dito ah, mag uukay-ukay ka?" Sinapak nya agad ako.
"Just go, susunod ako. Ill text you bye."
Nakita ko nalang sya na tumatakbo papalapit sa may bus station.
I've been wondering here in UP for almost thirty minutes, until now di ko pa din makita ang library nila. Umupo nalang ako sa pinakamalapit na bench sakin, I checked my phone if Claire's already text me pero wala. Ano na kaya nangyari dun, naisipan kung ichat si Ian using my dummy account hoping that his online.
ISILY:
I'm lost:(
After a couple of minutes my phone beep, I thought it was Claire. I smiled to myself.
Ian Suarez reacted to:I'm lost:(
I actually chatted him everytime since that day Claire give me this dummy account, I just dont want to tell her baka asarin nya lang ako, I look like a desperate girl but who cares as long as sineseen nya message ko I'm fine with that. These past few days he always seen my chat, once in a blue moon lang sya kung mag reply.
ISILY:
You're improving na ha, may pa react na. What's next? Voice message?
I gigled before sending him my reply, just the thought of sending me a voice message coming from him. Is a dream.
I waited to his reply but he just seen it, his really a seener. Kaya lalo akong nahuhulog, tangina.
Binalik ko nalang ang phone ko sa loob ng bag ko and started walking again, kanina pa ko pabalik balik dito. Nakakailang nadin ang titig ng mga studyante dito, ngayun lang ba sila nakakita ng magandang outsider?
I try to call Claire but she's not answering my calls, nagaalala na din ako kung saan sya nag punta. Ayoko naman mag chat sa gc namin dahil baka iseen lang nila ako, and I wont let that happen only Ian can seen me.
I chat Ian again para malibang ako. Hindi ako sanay na mag isa and that's my weakness.
ISILY:
I'm literally lost, can you tell me where you are?please.
I'm just trying to joke at him I'm not hoping that he will answer me, I could be a kidnapper asking for his location. But Im not a kidnapper, I'm just a thief ready to stole his heart.
My eyes widened, when I realized that he give me his damn location.
Ian Suarez:
UP.
