Chapter 21: Clues

"Yes, kaibigan mo ako... kaibigan mo lang ako! And I'm so stupid for making the biggest mistake of falling in love with my best friend!" Audrey keeps on mimicking Jolina Magdangal's line in the movie we watched in Zeus' house. We decided to go here to watch movies and to get our boredom relieved at the same time.

Today's Saturday, wala kaming magawa sa bahay, tapos na rin naman ang periodical test. We watched a movie that made Audrey got a LLS or Last Line Syndrome. Paulit-ulit niya 'yong sinasabi habang nakatingin kay Zeus, mukhang naiirita na nga si Zeus sa boses ni Audrey.

"Oh, mga bata, kumain na kayo," Tito Bernard, Zeus' dad, said from the dining room.

"Teka, hindi ba natin hihintayin si Matthew?" curious na tanong ni Ken, they all looked at me as if I were the one who's holding the rice cooker and viand container. I raised my left brow, Ken heaved a sigh. "Siguro kailangang hintayin muna natin siya, sabi niya naman susunod siya, 'di ba, Shanel?" they all looked at me again. I just shrugged my shoulders and refused to talk.

"May singaw 'yan!" Janee said and laughed. Yeah, right. Napangiwi na lang ako nang maramdaman ang hapdi.

"Eh? Nalagyan mo na ng gamot?" Ken asked, looking at me with concerned eyes. I just nodded and smiled a little.

And they began to tease us again, I just rolled my eyes. I can't speak. Everytime na magsasalita ako, I feel like something would prick on my gums. I hate this feeling, ugh!

"Anong ginamit mo?" Ken asked again, he was seated in front of me.

"Oral gel." I showed him the brand; he twitched the side of his lips.

"Naku, dapat tawas!" Zeus tried to scare me, I just gave him a glare. "Oo nga, tawas talaga! Sabi nga sa 'kin noon ni Papa, dapat daw lagyan agad ng tawas or else, magiging permanent 'yan!" I know he's just trying to scare me. I'm not buying that thing.

"Tangek! Ang hapdi no'n!" Iryn said while looking at me. Sabay-sabay silang napangiwi.

"Nakalimutan niyo atang magde-dentist si Brey. Hindi niyo siya matatakot!" Inakbayan ako ni Audrey, she shook her head while sticking her tongue out to tease them.

"Oral thrush, canker sores and mouth sores commonly known as 'singaw' was caused by a fungal infection and the best treatment for that is Miconazole and gargling warm water with salt," I explained.

"Oh, ano kayo ngayon?!" Janee laughed out loud when Zeus frowned, obviously disappointed that he couldn't scare me.

"Isa ka pa rin naman!" Zeus said. He took his phone from the center table. "Oyy! Nag-chat si Matthew, susunduin lang namin sa entrance ng subdivision si Baematt!" Zeus said before standing up.

"Baematt, amputs!" Ken laughed out loud before standing up, they went outside and left us here. We feel at home with each other's house. Lahat ng bahay ng mga kaibigan ko, napuntahan namin. Lagi pa nga kaming tumatambay para mag-aral. This is the first time Vince would go here.

"Oh, mga hija, nasaan 'yong mga lalaki?" Tito Bernard asked us. Syempre, we let Audrey answer, since she liked to have plus points from Zeus' dad.

"Ayy, Daddy, sinusundo po 'yong bago naming kaibigan sa entrance ng subdi. Medyo naliligaw pa po, eh." See? She called him 'daddy'? The audacity.
