Mysterious
"Wraia, babe!" I looked up from my food when I heard Ari call me.
Anak ng pusa!
"Wraia! This is the cousin that I'm talking about! Kuya!" She then pushed her cousin. "Ano ba, kuya! You're like tuod, move!"
"Uhh..." I trailed off. Damn. What am I supposed to say? Ari's cousin is that guy from the party! Parang mas okay na si Lisle na lang 'to. Yung pinsan ni Ari, I mean.
"Hey, uhm. I'm Russ Ezequiel Aguirre, Quiel, Russ or Zeke for short. Pili ka lang." Then he chuckled awkwardly while scratching his nape. This guy is cute! Kaso ang daming nickname, ano ba talaga?
"Uhh..." what should I say? Magpapakilala rin ba ako?
"What, Wraia? You're not moving na din!" She then went near me. "I told you, gwapo right?" She whispered at me while bumping her hips on mine a little.
"Uhh, Quiel, Russ or Zeke for short, sorry ulit for what happened, ah?" I apologized.
"You remembered." He laughed a little. "No worries, Wrailette. I had my spare clothes at my car anyway."
"Hey hey! What's this? You guys kilala each other? Why am I not informed?" Ari asked dramatically.
"Babe, siya yung sinasabi kong nabuhusan ko ng... tubig."
"O my M to the G! Destiny! O my M to the G! Destiny! O my M to the G! Destiny." Ari cheered. Ayos, artista na cheerleader pa. "Seriously ba? I'm so natutuwa." She then clapped like a sea lion. She looks stupid, actually.
"You guys call each other, babe?" Quiel, Russ or Zeke for short said.
"Yes, duh, kuya! Why? Is that not pwede?"
"No, it's cool, Carrie."
"So, what now? You want to eat here kuya or are you busy? Are you going to balik na?"
"I'm quite busy, Carrie. You know I just transferred here. Maybe next time?" Then he looked at me. Ako ba tinatanong niya?
Ari elbowed me.
"Uhm, sure."
"See you around, bulaklak sa flower vase!" Pamamaalam ni Russ.
Did I hear it right?
"He called me bulaklak sa flower vase?" I asked Ari.
"Oo, why? Have you lost your ear or something?" She asked playfully.
"Nothing." I just shrugged.
Bakit niya yon alam? Did he eavesdrop? That creep!
"By the way, you want his number?" Ari offered.
"Sige."
"Yie. You're going to palit ACB na?"
