A Chasing Misery

Labing-isa

I'm still wondering sa paalala na ibinigay ni Sir Urian. It's not that big deal pero kasi di ba iba mag payo ng nakakatanda, minsan double meaning pa.

"Pre-occupied?" saad niya

"Wala ka na naman sigurong makausap kaya ako na naman pinuntahan" masungit ko agad na saad

"Judger"

"Sorry akin" natatawa kong saad

"ka na lang?" and I stopped laughing

I looked at him seriously but a smirk from him showed up.

I don't know how he can made someone stopped from what she doing with his words. Again and again, the guys with their flowery tongue.

"Ilan na pinagsabihan mo niyan?" banat ko naman

"Ikaw pa lang" maagap niyang sagot

"Ako pa lang sa araw na 'to"

"Ano tingin mo sakin, babaero?"

"Sayo nanggaling yan, hindi sakin ha"

I heard him 'tsk' before looking at me with his serious and dark face.

"I may be a playboy but when I love someone, I'm stick to one like a tape" he said

"I doubt you, Gabriel Cruz. Once the soaked with water, nawawala na yung dikit even glue."

"And that's the point" and he laughed like there's no tomorrow.

Napailing na lang ako sa banat niya. Bakit ko ba 'to nakakasalamuha. Sa dami ng tao ngayon, nakakasama ko pa 'tong kupal na 'to.

"I heard, you have a boyfriend. Nasaan na siya?" pagbaling niya

"He's busy" sagot ko

"He's busy or no time for you? Baka may iba na naman"

"You didn't even know him, so who are you to judge my boyfriend?" matigas kong saad

"Oh chill, I'm just joking" he said but I left him

Hinanap ko na lang ang mga kaibigan ko para samahan akong mag-ikot-ikot dito. Maraming mga events ngayon, open na rin ang rides and food stalls for everyone. Each level ay mayroong mga stalls.

I saw my friends and we roam around the campus. Tinignan din namin ang ilang booths to have an ideas. Hindi ganun ka-crowded kaya hindi mahirap mag-ikot.

We decided to ride a roller coaster pero ayaw sumama ni Nickie kaya hinayaan na lang namin siya.

"Caterpillar or Witch Fantasy?" nagtatalong saad ni Claire at Isobelle habang nasa gitna nila ako

"Bakit hindi na lang natin subukan pareho? We can go first to Caterpillar and enter the Witch Fantasy ride next" sagot ko naman

"Well, that's good" Isobelle agreed.

No choice naman si Claire but to follow us. We paid for the ride and choose our seats. Dahil dalawahan lang per seat, ako na ang humiwalay sa kanila. Nasa harapan ko sila habang ako ay nasa likuran katabi ang isang lalaki na para bang walang pake.

"Staring at me is kinda rude" he said

"Pinaglihi ka ba ng nanay mo sa Encyclopedia or Thesaurus, masyado kasing makapal" iritado kong saad

Napalingon naman sa amin si Claire at Isobelle na may pang-aasar na tingin.

"Alam mo, jan nagsimula lolo't lola namin" Claire giggled.

"Alam mo, pwede kita ihulog jan kung gugustuhin ko" mataray kong saad

"Paano kung ikaw ang gusto ko?" Gabriel uttered.
