"Ycarrie," I called her.

"What? You're so nakakakaba naman. Don't call me like that, you sound like a dad ready to scold." She paused whatever she's watching, which I bet is a drama, and removed her earphones.

It's a hobby of hers to watch before taking the examinations. She told me it lessens her fear 'pag actual exams na. I think it actually works for her, though. She tried not watching once, she just stared at her test booklet the whole time. She ended up having a failing grade.

Sinisi niya pa ko. Hinamon ko daw siya. Tinanong ko lang naman kung dysfunctional ba talaga siya pag di siya nakanuod. Is it my fault na sinubukan niya naman?

"Daming sinabi."

Then her brows furrowed. Pikon talaga. "What nga?"

"You know someone named..." I trailed off, trying to remember the guy's name. Sino nga yon?

"Who?"

"Uhm, I'm not quite sure but the name's kind of close to... Piel?"

"Piel, none. Quiel, meron. Why?" Quiel nga siguro yon? Katunog naman ng Piel, eh.

"Someone added me on facebook. Friend mo siya."

"That's probably my cousin. Remember the one I told you na cousin ko that's studying here? Maybe that one?" Pinsan niya? So, pinsan niya si ACB? And she didn't even mind telling me?

"Why would he add me?" I eyed her suspiciously. Why would she lie to me, right? Pero parang mali naman kung si ACB yung isa? My cousins from mom's side live far away from Foretrieth, how would kuya Zeus knew him, right?

"Heaven knows." Seriously?

"Ang ayos mo kausap."

"I answered your tanong na nga even if I'm watching eh." Then she pouted. May point naman. "By the way, kuya Zeke's gwapo." A smirk was now plastered on her face.

"Zeke?"

"Kuya Ezequiel."

"Ah. Walang nagtanong."

She rolled her eyes. "I'm just informing you. I'll introduce him sayo next week, okay?"

Something is not right. This girl thinks she can fool me, huh? Balak niya siguro akong isurprise na kilala niya si ACB.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night." I shrugged. "Pinsan mo pala si ACB?" I asked, fishing for information.

"Huh?" Nagmamaang maangan pa ang isang 'to. I'm not that smart but I'm not dumb either.

"Huhtdog." I just shrugged. I guess I'll see ACB next week, then. I need to prepare for another encounter. Paniguradong di ko na naman siya makakasundo.

"Ang bad bad mo!"

I'm every bad thing.

I was busy last minute reviewing when someone sat beside me. Last subject na kasi ito. Ari and I planned to shop after. Pumayag naman si mommy. Aniya'y siya na ang bahala magsabi kay daddy. Beside's Ari and I have been doing this for years.

Andito ako ngayon sa mini garden na nasa gitna ng senior high school building at engineering building. Bawat pagitan ng mga building ay may ganito. 

May mga iilang estudyante rin dito, medyo malayo sa akin. Ang iba ay nag-aaral, ang iba ay nagkekwentuhan lang. Dalawa lang yan, eh. It's either they're done reviewing or they're not reviewing at all.
