CHAPTER 27

“Finally! Sem break na!”

“OMG! Tumaas rank ko!” Alice giggled habang nakatingin sa announcement board. “Hoy, Mark! Ang taas mo, ah! Nangopya ka 'no!?”

“Kapal mo! Binigyan kami ni Emy ng reviewer!” He glanced at me and gave me the paper bag he was holding kanina pa. “Thank you gift, Princess!”

“Hala! Hindi na naman kailangan ng gift!” I said dahil alam ko naman na they're really busy. “Congrats, Love! Top 2!” I glanced at Demon na nakaakbay sa akin.

“Kumusta naman kaya ang Love ko sa top 3? I'm so proud of you!” He kissed the top of my head. “Dumbbell na kami sa'yo, ah. Hindi mo naman kami kailangang gawan. Alam kong busy ka din—”

“Epal mo, Sky! Mag-thank you ka na lang! Baka sa susunod wala na talaga!” David said as he gave me a box of chocolates. “Thank you, Princess!”

“Mag-artista nga din ako. Baka gawan din ako ni Emy!” nabaling kami kay Mica when she suddenly talked. Kanina pa siya tahimik and it's really obvious na may problema sila ni David.

“'Yung hindi pa kayo pero may LQ na!” pang-aasar ni Andrew that made us glared at him. “Huy! Gagi! Joke lang!” agap niya.

“Mahirap din mag-artista. Lahat ng galaw mo ay nakikita ng tao tapos wala kayong privacy. Tingnan niyo si Emy at Sky, viral agad 'yung pagbibigay ng kwintas!” Alice said. “Sana all Sun and Moon!”

I sighed. “Yeah, but it's worth it lalo na kung kung you have trusted God's plan.”

“Any plans this sem break?” Mica asked out of a sudden. “If hindi kayo busy.”

“Tara sa church tomorrow,” I told them because we're having a youth night. Almost a month din ang preparation and planning no'n and I'm pretty sure that it will become successful.

“Sign na ba 'to na magbagong-buhay na tayo?” Marcus nudged at Mark na siyang ikinagulat niya.

“Basta sasama ako!” He said nudging at David also. “Tumanggi, KJ!”

We all glanced at David na tulala sa tabi at mukhang malalim ang iniisip. “Sama din ako 'no!” agap niya.

“I'll invite Shin, too, Love,” Demon said habang nilaro ang mga daliri ko.

“Papaiwan ba kami?” Mica laughed at umakbay kay Alice. “'Di ka kaya itakwil sa simbahan niyo kapag sumama ka, Alice?”

“Sira! It's been months since the last time I went to church, but maybe it's my calling,” She glanced at me and smiled.

“It's a deal, then! 6PM, ha!” I told them bago bumaling kay Demon. “You don't have any plans?”

“I'm going to studio this afternoon with the Premium. Want to come?” He asked while checking his schedule on his phone. “Short briefing about our album.”

“Nah, just drop me off sa metro. I just have a meeting to attend for my next photoshoot,” I told him dahil I need to fix my schedule also. It's sem break and I want to spend it with Mom and Dad as well as with Demon. A short break from work.

“You sure?” He asked again and I nodded. “Just text me after and I'll pick you up—”

“No need, Love. I'm fine with Kuya Romel and besides, you need to focus on your upcoming album!” I smiled dahil I'm so excited for their album. Alam ko na deserve nila 'yon and their sacrifices will all be all worth it in the end of the day.
