Amber Alert (El Vicente Series #1) [COMPLETED]

Kabanata 2

"Oh? In-add mo?" Si Alis. He is chewing chips while his other hand is wrapped around my shoulder. It was heavy as fuck.

Bakas sa mukha ko ang inis na tinaboy ang kamay niyang may butil pa ng chips dahil sa kinakain niya. Even his breath smelled like onions. Wala na lang akong magawa.

"Oo. Hindi pa nga ako inaaccept, e." I frowned more while looking at his page.

I added him last night yet he's still not responding. Isang daan lang ang friends niya Facebook pero thousands ang followers. I can't find his name on his Instagram.

Wala naman kasi akong makitang matino sa Facebook niya kundi ang profile lang at cover photo na uploaded. He's so private!

"Baka poser?" Alis peaked on my phone. I immediately covered it with my palms.

His profile was him, leaning on a veranda wearing a baseball cap, and looking on his sideways. His side profile was breathtaking, as expected.

His cover was his band poster. They were on a small stage in the picture. Simple.

His comment section was full of silly praises from girls. I laughed at some but some aren't so funny.

"E, paano ka iaaccept niyan? He got tons of followers! Mas madami pa sa pera ko!"

"Because he's famous."

"Kaya nga! Why would you think he will accept you?" He started laughing out loud.

Mukha kaming tangang nakaupo sa batibot ng school at parehong nakabuka ang hita. We're on our P.E uniforms, anyway.

Hinampas ko siya dahil sa inis. "Stupid! Who knows if he recognized me from yesterday?"

He laughed more, holding his tummy now. "He'd just think you're one of his fans!"

Sa tingin ko'y may point siya. 

Umirap ako. "Shut up, Alistair. I-aaccept ako n'yan, maganda ako, e."

He leaned forward to whisper at me. "Kung gusto mong mapansin ka n'yan, ganito ang gawin mo.."

"Ano?"

"Ayain mo ng fubu."

"Ew?" I shouted and slapped his face. "Yuck, Alistair! Ang bastos!"

"Fubu! Fun buddy!"

I stared at him longer. I can't help but laugh, too, because his laugh is pulling me to laugh with him.

Alistair was my long-time friend since freshman. I never had a friend except for my cousins who live out of the country.

Isa sa mga dahilan ay ayaw nila akong kaibiganin. I was bullied when I first came here because I was from States. It's confusing. Hindi ko alam. Maybe because my attitude seems to be intimidating and rude to them. I annoy them with my accent and how I dress. But what can I do?

Alistair is good looking. I know someone that has a crush on him. May mga kaibigan naman siyang lalaki pero kadalasan ay ako ang kasama niya. Don't get me wrong, we never had a thing. He never tried to strike up a flirty conversation with me.

I looked at Bea when she accidentally throw a paper on my feet. Napabilog ang labi niya at kunyaring nagulat pa sa pagtapon niya ng papel.

She giggled. "Sorry, pakibasura, please. Malapit ka naman d'yan, e."

I picked up her trash and stood up to throw it. Pagkatapos ay dumiretso ako sa upuan ko na walang salita.

Tumitig na lang ako sa sinasagutan kong seatwork. This is what I'm talking about. This happens every fucking time. Nasasanay na ako. Minsan pumapatol naman ako lalo na kapag below the belt na kaso kapag ganito'y hinahayaan ko na lang.
