I'm Coming Back, Manila

"Taken? By who?"

My brows met while wearing my clothes. Time to go home, I guess. Hindi ko mapigilang mairita o magalit sa kaniya. Ang kapal naman ng mukha niya kung ganon. May girlfriend na, may fubu pa.

"Sabihin mo, tayo na. For her to stop." Iritado niyang sabi.

"No! It can't be! She's my friend! Magagalit siya sakin." Sabi ko habang inaayos ang buhok ko.

"Okay, ikaw bahala." Sagot niya sakin.

After that, kinuha ko na lahat ng gamit ko at tuluyang umuwi sa condo ko. Hindi na rin ako nakapagdinner dahil sa pagod. I went to sleep agad. The next day, I woke up early para maaga rin ako sa school. Magbabasa basa pa 'ko ng notes, If ever.

I was wearing a simple black halter top that hugs my body partnered with a white pants and white shoes. I comb my hair and spray some perfume. Kinuha ko lang ang tote bag ko at umalis na rin ako ka-agad.

"Uy, aga mo ah." It was Zoe. Nilapag niya ang gamit niya sa tabi ko, as usual. Magkakatabi naman kaming tatlo palagi.

"Tamang read read lang," I smiled while holding the pages of this book. "Hindi ako nakafocus masyado kagabi." Dahil kay Caeleb.

"Why? Kwento naman," Sabi ni Zoe habang nilalabas ang gamit niya.

"Wala lang," I chuckled. Hindi rin nagtagal, dumating na rin si Ellie na nagbabasa ng notes niya. Ang sisipag.

The exam started. We only have 2 subjects to take for the last day of our finals, good thing! Mabilis matatapos. The exam went good, halos lahat naman ng inaral ko ay lumabas don at buti na lang, medyo easy.

"Uuwi na kayo?" Ellie asked while fixing her things. "Wala bang something diyan?"

"Ako, baka oo." Sagot ko. "I need to do some stuffs." Pagsisinungaling ko.

"You've been busy these past few days ah. May kinikita ka sigurong lalaki no?" Siningkitan ako ng mata ni Zoe. "Hindi ka na nagkekwento ha!"

"Uy, no! Of course, wala! May kailangan lang ayusin." I denied.

"Alam niyo ba, hindi ako nirereplyan ni Caeleb." Zoe opened up the topic. "Hays, bakit kaya? Is he taken?"

"Yes!" My eyes widened. "I mean, yes. Yes, kasi uuwi na 'ko. Una na 'ko, girls!" I gave them a kiss on their cheeks before leaving. Gosh! I checked on my phone because It vibrated, It was Caeleb pala.
