"Asan na yung boyfriend mo?"- Steph

"Umalis na."

"Yees. Feeling girlfriend ka naman."

"Sira."

"Sige. Uwi na tayo."

Kasey's POV:

Tuluyan na ngang nag transfer sa school si Eron. Pero mula nung araw na naging "boyfriend" ko sya, di ko pa ulit sya nakikita. Sabi nya magkaklase kami pero di pa sya napasok.

"Kasey, tapos ka na sa assignment sa math? Namfufu! Ang hirap eh! Di ko pa rin mahanap si X sa number 4!" naiinis na sabi ni Steph habang nakain ng french fries.

"Eh i-mumultiply lang yun ah." sagot ko.

"Kaya nga. Walang nalabas!"

"Umm... Excuse me can I join tables with you?" tanong ng isang babae, wait.. Pamilyar sya. Parang yung bipolar dati.

"Nagtanong ka pa, nakaupo ka na." Steph whispered sarcastically.

"Ah, yah. I see. By the way, I'm Lucy, Lucy Alvarez. I've been part of Eron's life."

"Oh... So ex ka nya?" tanong ni Steph.

"Technically yeah. But for some reasons, no."

"Ah Lucy, meet Kasey. Eron's present girlfriend." Steph said and smiled sarcastically.

"Ano ba Steph?!" pinagalitan ko sya ng pabulong.

"Yah. I already know her." -Lucy

"Then, can you tell me? Pano naging kayo ni Eron?" tanong ni Lucy.

*sigh*

Sabi na nga ba dadating ang tanong na 'to. Namfufu. Anong sasabihin ko?

"Well, actually.." -Steph

"No. I'm talking to Kasey." -Lucy

*Gulp*

"Ah.. Nagkita kami sa.. Ah.."

I kept on perspiring. Pano naging kami? Pinilit ko sya. Yun lang naman yun eh.

"Oh, Eron?"- Lucy. Napatingin ako.

Naglalakad sya at napadaan sa table namin. One hand on the back holding his bag and one hand in his pocket.

"Hi Eron! Long time no see!"-Lucy

"Yah. Bye" he said without an expression.

"Wait! Why don't you join us?"

"I'm busy"-Eron

"Kasama ko si Kasey, your girlfriend"

Pagpaparinig nya. He stopped walking.

"So?"

"Wala kang pakielam?"

"The hell I care." sabi nya at tuluyan nang umalis.

"Geez. That guy. He's always like that when it comes to girls. Is it alright with you? Kahit wina walang bahala ka nya? Are you that obsessed with him?" -Lucy

Hindi ako makaimik. I'm stunned.

"Umm.. Excuse us.  May klase pa kami." hinigit ako ni Steph palayo.

"Oy Kasey, bakit ang tahimik mo?" tanong ni Steph habang naglalakad kami sa hallway.

"Ah...wala." -ako

"Wag mo sabihing- Hay naku Kasey, affected ka noh. Na winalang bahala ka ni Eron. Kasey, di mo sya boyfriend. Natural lang yun. Di ka nga nya kilala eh."
