Best Part of Me

6

As soon as arrived home, I opened my phone and saw messages from Zeph.

Zphny: Girl r u home na?
Zphny: Girl binilin kita kay Ryker, ginising ka ba?

I sighed and sat at the couch. Tinago ko nalang ang phone ko, ilang linggo pa lang. I felt really tired.

"Let's eat dinner." Aya ni Jonas. I stood up and followed him to the dining area.

"Jonas kailan mo balak magresign?" I asked, nagulat ako ng bigla siyang mabulunan sa kinakain niya. Mabilis naman siyang nakainom ng tubig. Good, akala ko mamamatay siya sa harap ko. That's creepy.

"Wala akong balak magresign." Sagot niya habang umiiling. I rolled my eyes and started eating.

"Are you aware how annoying you are?" I asked him but he just laughed at me like I was joking.

"Siguro nga. Pero baka mamiss mo ko pag nawala ako madam." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Kahit umalis ka na ngayon magpaparty pa ako." Sagot ko. He just laughed at me and we continued eating.

After that annoying dinner, I went inside my room and took a shower. Humiga ako at nilabas muli ang phone ko.

I typed a message to Zeph to let her know I'm home then I opened my Facebook to go to Ash' timeline.

I sent him friend request, pero ilang minuto na ang lumipas ay di parin niya ito inaaccept.

I turned off my phone and lights. I decided to sleep early, this day was tiring enough.

Kinabukasan ay maaga akong nag ayos para sa pagpasok. Naabutan kong nagkakape sa Jonas sa garden, naka-uniporme na ito at tila ako na lang ang hinihintay.

I just took a bite sa hotdog na niluto ni Jonas, uminom rin ako ng coffee at lumabas na sa parking lot. Nakastart na ang kotse at nasa loob na si Jonas.

"Aga natin ngayon ah." Bungad niya sakin.

"Goodmorning din sayo Jonas." Inis na sagot ko. Kaaga aga puro kasarkastikohan lang ang alam niya.

"Kamusta naman sa school mo?" He asked. I looked at him, I never thought he would ask something like that. Parents ko nga hindi ako kinakamusta. I immediately diverted my gaze and looked outside the window.

"Daldal mo Jonas." Sagot ko. He just laughed, I smiled secretly. He was always laughing like everything that I'm saying was a joke. Napakababaw ng kaligayahan.

"But to answer your question, I'm doing fine." Sagot ko.

"How bout the guy you like?" Tanong niyang muli. Since when did he became so interested in my life?

"He's fine and he will be mine in no time." I answered confidently.

"One day you'll realize that love isn't easy as what you think it is." He said. I just scoffed at what he said and just ignored him.

Mabilis akong bumaba sa kotse ng marating namin ang school, I did not bother to bid goodbye to Jonas because he was very annoying.

I arrived early, I still have an hour before our first class start. Balak ko talaga magpaaga dahil gusto ko libutin ang school which is hindi ko pa nagagawa simula ng tumapak ako rito.

I was about to walk toward the other building when someone suddenly grabbed my hand. Mabilis akong napatingin dito, and saw our class mayor panting.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Buti nalang maaga ka Zoe." Hinihingal na sabi niya. My forehead instantly creased, she looked very haggard considering that class haven't started yet.
