Manic Pixie Dream Girl

Chapter 4

"Francis!!"My name was called by a familiar voice.

Napalingon ako sa direksyon kung saan nanggaling ang boses na iyon.

"Francis!!"

It was...

Ruby... With..

Four people in total

They're making their way towards me.

"Uyy Keiffer!" Tinapik niya ako pagka-sabi niya. It was Rad. Radical Anghelo, my only guy bestfriend.

They all sat around me. Rad was beside me and nasa tapat namin ang tatlo.

"Long time no talk boss pogi. Kamusta ka na baby?" He's the only one na tumatawag sa akin na baby na hindi ako na-akwardan. Nasanay na lang ako siguro.

"I'm fine," I said in response.

"Wow. Kelan ka pa naging matipid magsalita. Parang dati lang..." Rad looked at Ruby.

"Hmm?" Pagtataka ni Ruby. You already know her. One of my girl best friend and my highschool crush.

"Wala akong sinasabi ah." That's Rad na nangaasar na naman.

"Anyways... My boss baby poging Keiffer, ano namang pinagkakaabalahan mo at mukhang busy ka dyan? Daming mo dinudotdot dyan sa laptop mong mukhang mamahalin." Pagiiba ng topic ni Rad.

Sasagot na sana ako pero tinignan niya ang ginagawa ko sa laptop.

"Itzyo Watch?"

"I wanna be me me me." He attempted to do Ryujin's shoulder dance. Tumawa na lang kami kasi mukha siyang tanga. Wait? Ngayon na lang uli ako nakatawa. It feels light and so good.

"What's that?" Tanong ni Ruby at tumigin siya sa loptop ko. "VP and USP?" Tanong niya at tumango ako.

"Ang astig mo talagang makaisip ng product. Naalala mo iyong ginawa mo Senior High tayo?" Tanong ni Ruby. We have the same strand when we were in Senior High. We're both ABM at parehas kami ng section .

"Yeah that spy contact lens wherein you will be able to send messages in just a blink of an eye. Morse code of course." I informed.

"Can you believe that our teacher once said that it's not feasible? And you manage to defend your product that we are already in the 21st century. Naging bida ang kompanya na mamanahin mo sa hinaharap. Ang astig mo talaga. How to be you boss?" Napangiti ako sa tono ng pananalita ni Ruby at parang ipinagmamalaki niya ko. These four people sometimes called me 'boss'. Ewan ko lang sa kanila. Maybe because I was first in the rank among all of them. Take note that five of us are the top five in academic when we were in tenth grade. We were called 'The Birthstone with two Handsome Guys Squad' or 'TB2HGS'. Ewan ko kung sino nagpangalan nun. Naging pangalan tuloy ng group chat namin sa messenger. Hindi ako nagkamali ng piniling kaibigan.

But now... It's different.

"Oo na kayo na magaling. Di kami makarelate. Sorry business students." That's Rad again.

When we we're in Senior High school, Rad taken up GAS because he was undecided at that time. He's very good in almost every sport and now he's taking up Bachelor of Science in Physical Education. He's going to be a good player someday of whatever he wants to be.

Lianne, Sugar Pearlianne, took HUMSS because she's a language genius. She can speak her mother tongue which is Filipino, English, Korean, Japanese, and Thai because she used to travel around Asia. She took up HUMMS because she thought it can help her improve her knowledge in language. Ewan ko lang kung totoo. Now she is taking up Bachelor of Arts in Asian Studies major in Chinese Language. Nakukwento niya noon na sa Chinese siya sobrang nahirapan kaya iyon ang napili niyang kurso.
