CHAPTER 14

Meet up with my friends

ALBERT'S POV

The teachers' are having a meeting right now. So there's no class before lunch. I'm going to meet with my friends right now.

"Albert!" nagsilapitan ang mga kaklase kong lalaki sakin.

"You saw your father's shared post? Right now, on social media?" they asked and I was really curious.

"I didn't, what is it?"

They showed me the shared post of my dad.

"W-what, what with this girl?" I asked. They shared someone's picture.

"Just look at the caption, Albert."

'Albert Rodger, she's perfect for you.'

"What the! I won't give a damn with that girl!" I exclaimed and I slam the table.

"Does this mean, they'll arrange a marriage for you?"

"What? I don't want a fiancé! Never!" I exclaimed.

"But, what I know is mostly.. The child of those came from rich families usually have fiancé." the boy on my side said.

"That's why I don't want to be with my family!" I exclaimed again and all of my classmates looked at me.

I go out. I breathe in. I was very furious, I hate my parents!

"I don't care. I already like someone!"

I can't relax. So I'll just go meet with my friends right now.

I came to meet Jonathan first.

"Where's Jonathan?" I asked from one of his classmates near the window."

"It's Albert!"

"Albert!"

The girls were shouting when they saw me. I hide quickly, I stand with my back pressed on the wall.

"These girls really cause me trouble!"

I screamed when Jonathan showed up on my side.

"You know Jonathan, you might be quiet but please.. Don't scare me with your show ups! Ahhh, you really made me scream to death..I--"

"What do you need?" he asked.

"Albert!" the girls were coming out from their room.

"Oh.My.Gosh!" I grab Jonathan's hand and we ran away.

[Cafeteria]

"Ho-ho..those girls really made me run very fast."

"And I'm involved." Jonathan said and I looked at him.

"Sorry. I-I want you to be with me..."

"You're very early boys." the chef at the cafeteria said.

"Ahh..there's no class for the last subject." I said and smiled.

"No, he has nowhere to go--" Jonathan can't continue on talking because I covered his mouth.

"You shut up! You became talkative these days." I murmured and I looked again at the chef and smiled.

"Nowhere to go..ah, there's no other cafeteria here, right?" I said and chuckled.

"Yes..yes." the chef said and nodded.

Jonathan take off my hand from his mouth.

"Don't you do that to me again.." he said and crossed his arms.

"Just shut your mouth."

"You should be thankful I became talkative right now because of you." he said.

"Ohhh..because of me.." I smiled and hugged him.

"Is this bromance?" someone asked infront of us.

I pushed Jonathan away.

"W-what? Bromance? Who said that!"

"Me." the girl admitted and I faced her.

"It's a friendly hug. What do you mean? Boy's don't hug?" I asked.

"It just disgust me." she said and look away.

"Geez, so rude!" I said and look at her from toe to head.

"Albert, why push me like that?" Jonathan asked.

"Don't ask me, kakainis lang 'tong babae sa harapan ko." I said and she rolled her eyes and she walked and she even hit my shoulder.

"How disrespectful of you. If you're not a girl, I should have already beaten you up! Hey you!" I exclaimed.

"Stop it, Albert. There are students now at the cafeteria."

I saw Mark coming in.

"Mark!" Lumapit ako sa kaniya.

"Hi Albert. What is it?"

"You know, let's wait for Diana!" I said and tapped his shoulders.

"I think she won't forgive me." he said and looked down.

"So that's wrong. We should always forgive and forget what mistake that person had made to us." Jonathan said and I looked at him.

"Jonathan, you're such a good friend!" I said and Paul came in bringing lots of books.

"Paul, what's up with you bringing tons of books?" I asked in confusion.

"I have to study more." he said and put the books on the table.

"Just don't store it all together in your brain, i-it would result to abnormality." I said and he laughed.

"What about you? How did you store all the lesson in your brain, why are you called Brainiac? Maniac with Brains." he asked.

"I don't know, maybe my brain is big--" I wasn't able to continue talking when Jonathan covered my mouth.

"Just shut up. It might result to a fight." he said.

Lowanne came.

"Hi, pretty girl!" I said and smiled at her.

"Pretty?" she asked and chuckled.

"Don't.you.dare flirt with her infront of me." Mark said and his brows furrowed.

"I'm not flirting, it's just a compliment." I said.

"Compliment, compliment ha?"

"Okay just shut it, Lowanne, where's Diana?" I asked.

"Someone told me she's absent."

"What? Sayang naman."

"Mark can't apologize to her." she said and looked at Mark.

"Yeah. Just because of what happened last time at the cr."

"It's okay. Oh, there's Kian. I think we'll have reunion right now!" I said in excitement and danced.

"Woah..Kian's your friend?" Paul asked.

"Yes he is. Hey Kian!"

Napansin niya ako at lumapit agad siya.

"Let's eat together Kian." I said.

"Oh, this is quite embarrassing."

"Okay, this is my friend Mark, Paul, Jonathan and Lowanne." I pointed them one by one.

"Hi! But I wanna join with my friend Hera right now." he said.

"They why don't you let her join with us?" I asked. I was so friendly these days.

"Okay, I'll bring her with me." he said and went away.

"Well, looks like our friendship will be big now." Paul said.

"Let's create a group." I said and smiled.
