I'm going home na sana kanina pa but I don't want to be rude naman. Sya kaya yung nag alaga saakin. Baka narape na ako kung hindi nya ako sinama sakanya.
We're here na at the dining table. It's so very awkward. When I look to him, he look to me too. When he look at me, I look to him too! And then repeat! Grr.
"Stop looking at me." I warned.
"Okay." Then he continued his eating. Ugh. I want to get out of here, as soon as possible.
"Ako na mag wawash." Sabi ko and then iswiswitch ko na sana yung faucet, but he stopped my hand.
"No. Leave it there. Your friends are surely worried to you. Get ready. I'll drive you to Bella's condo." What the heck? Siguradong iinisin ako ni Bella buong araw.
"Ha?! Bat ihahatid mo pa ako? Bella might think that uh..." I can't finish my word. Ano bang pwedeng excuse? Wag nya na akong ihatid kasi may dog si Bella na nangangain ng human? That's not even possible.
"You have no choice Louise." Yeah, yeah. I forgot that I don't have my bag.
We are here in the parking lot of the building where Bella lives.
"I'm going. Thanks for the ride." I unlocked my seatbelt. Lalabas na sana ako pero kinalabit nya ako.
"Why?" I asked him.
"Kiss ko?" Nagbibirong sabi nya. I rolled my eyes.
"Thanks, but no thanks, mister." Saka ko padabog na sinara yung pinto.
"Ugh, he is so, so, so annoying!" I yelled when I entered the elevator.
I stood up when I heard the doorbell.
"Oh, buhay kapa pala." Galit na bungad ko sakanya. Sino bang hindi magagalit eh she suddenly disappeared like a bubble.
"Sorry," she pouted. Hilain ko yang nguso mo Lucia ng makita mo.
"Sorry? Pagkatapos mong umalis ng walang paalam? You don't even text or tumawag man lang kung san ka pupunta! Nako Lucia puputi agad hair ko dahil sayo." Pinalo ko sya sa hita.
"My phone is dead bat last night!" She explained.
"So? Hindi mo ba kayang mag borrow ng phone? Memorize mo naman number ko diba? You're nakakainis. I almost die last night finding you, because bigla kang nawala!" I yelled at her. I almost called her parents kaya.
"Sorry na nga Bella eh," don't pacute pacute to me ha because it's not gonna effect!
"You know, I almost called tita! I can't even sleep last night because of you!" Hindi na nga ako nakatulog because baka narape na tong babaeng to.
"Sorry na nga. I was looking for you around, but I couldn't find you!" She explained nanaman.
"So? Kasalanan ko pang hindi mo kami mahanap sa 'couch na nireserved' natin?" Andon lang naman kami sa couch, but why is she saying that she couldn't find us? Asa syang maniniwala ako.
"Sorry na nga eh, I'm with Steve--" She covered her mouth.
"STEVEN?" Gulat na sabi ko.
"No! I mean, I'm with Stevenson! Yeah that's right! I'm with Stevenson!" She said other name pa eh it's obvious naman na si Stev yun.
"Sus, nagpapalusot kapa. Sana sinabi mo agad na si Stev. Nakakaloka. Ano? Nag jugjugan ba kayo?" Curious na tanong ko.
"Yang bibig mo Bella ang sarap hampasin." She glared at me. Sorry na man, Tao lang!
"So what happened nga? Are you two going back together or what?" Nakakacurious kaya! Malay mo nag comeback na ang mag ex lovers.
"Wala! It's nothing important." What? Nothing important? But why she sounded defensive? Nako Lucianne napaghahalataan kana ha.
"Why so sound defensive, babe? Is there anything exciting happened?" I giggled. Kahit ex lovers na yang dalawang yan boto padin ako kay Stev noh. I mean kahit sabi ni Louise na, nakita nya sila ni Kim na nag kikiss. Hindi ako galit sakanya. I'm more angry with Kim. Haliparot yun eh, pano kung she suddenly kissed Steven without consent? Ugh, that bitch.
She just gave me a stop asking look, and then leaved. She didn't even answer my question! I'm very curious here then she won't answer? What a rude human!
"Hey! Come back here! We're not done talking yet!" I said said, and followed her.
"Hey Caleb, wait up!" I heard a woman calling me. I looked at her. My eyebrows furrowed. How did she know my name?
"Yes, miss?" I don't even know her. She walked closer to me. Maybe she's five steps away from me.
"Miss? Are you kidding me? Hahaha!" Umakbay sya sakin kaya napayuko ako because she's not as tall as me. My eyes widened. Do I know this girl? I don't recognize her.
"Excuse me? Do I even know you, miss?" I calmly asked. I can say that she's pretty. I looked at her. My face is 8 inches away from her.
"What? You don't recognize me? I'm your childhood friend! How can you say that you don't know me? Tara kain tayo don!" She pulled me.
We're here now at a korean restaurant. I'm confused what's happening.
"Hey, miss. Do I even know you?" My eyebrows furrowed.
"I'm Xeña Miñez! Napaka ulyanin mo naman Caleb."
"Xeña? You are Xeña?" I asked. Xeña? Yeah, she's my childhood friend that came to states without saying goodbye to me.
"Sabagay, we haven't met in few years. But how can you forget me? We've been together since we're eight!" She sounded disappointed.
"Yeah? How can I not forget you? You leaved without saying goodbye to me." Nagising nalang ako isang araw na wala na sya.
"C'mon, Don't be mad! Nagpagaling lang naman ako dun. Atleast bumalik ako diba? Kaya don't be mad na!" She pouted.
"Nagpagaling? You're sick? And you didn't even bother to tell me?" My eyebrows furrowed.
"Don't worry, magaling naman na ako. Kaya wag kana magalit! Baka bumalik yung sakit ko tamo." She joked.
"Ha.ha.ha. so funny." I sarcastically laughed and rolled my eyes.
"Ha.ha.ha. sarcastic you." She rolled her eyes too. "Don't furrow your eyebrows always. Magkaka wrinkles ka, sige ka."
"Yeah, as if you can control my body." I rolled my eyes.
