"Ang bilis naman nilang sumagap ng balita" natatawang wika ni Phia habang kumakain ng ice cream

Tambay kami sa kwarto ko, dito na kasi kami dumiretso pagkatapos sa E.K

"Kung alam na nilang nandito tayo, hindi kaya mas lumala ang gulo?" Tanong no Claire

"Wag kang peke alam naman ng lahat na mahilig tayo sa gulo" sagot sa kanya ni Phia sabay tawa

"Minsan diko na din alam kung sino talaga ang kalaban naten" napapailing na wika ko.

Yun ang totoo, wala kang pwedeng pagkatiwalaan ng husto lalo na sa mundong kinabibilangan namin. Ordinaryo kami sa paningin ng iba pero ang totoo sangkot kami sa mga underground organization. Akala siguro ng iba biro-biro lang ang mga mafia o gangster dahil na rin sa ibang sibilyan na nagfefeeling gangster. May mga nagsasabing masama ang mga taong kabilang dito, maaaring oo pero hindi lahat. Minsan yung akala mong mabait at mapagkakatiwalaang tao sila pa pala ang mas masahol kaysa mga asong ulol. Mga pakitang tao na ulol pagdating da karangyaan.

"Babalik na ba tayo? O hiatus pa rin?" Tanong ni Claire

"Isang taon na din tayong hiatus e, comeback na tayo? Baka namimiss na tayo ng mga kalaban natin" pabirong wika ni Phia pero ramdam pa din na seryoso sya sa sinabi

"Maghintay lang kayo, babalik tayo ." Pinal na sabi ko

Hindi pwedeng palampasin ang mga nangyayari dahil lalo lang gugulo at hindi ako titigil hanggat wala pa ding kasagutan ang mga tanong sa utak ko

"C! Gising na! May pasok pa tayo" panggigising ni Claire ang totoo kanina pakong gising pero tinatamad pakong kumilos

Dito ko na pinatira ang dalawang bruha nang malaman ko na sa hotel pala sila natutulog. Aksaya sila sa pera palibhasa mayayaman.

Naligo nako at nagbihis pagkatapos ay bumaba para sumabay sa kanila sa agahan

"Hija, may kailangan akong gawin sa Ilocos at one month ako dun. Aalis nako ngayon kaya magingat kayo dito and don't forget to contact me if you need something okay? I'll miss you" paalala mi daddy sabay halik sa noo ko

"Bye dad, takecare" wika ko sabay beso

"Bye tito! Wag kayong manchichix dun ah? Nakoo" sabat ni Claire

"Tito ingat kayo, pasalubong pag-uwe" malokong dagdag pa ni Phia

Parehas na silang bumeso kay daddy bago ito umalis.

Ginamit namin ang kanya kanyang motor papasok sa school, ngayon kame magstart pumasok ng naka uniform at hindi ko pa din maintindihan kung bakit ang haba ng mga palda nila e above the knee lang naman ang dapat. Saktong above the knee ang saken samantalang sakanla ay isang dangkal nalang mula sa talampakan. Parepareho pa din naman kaming naka glasses

"Woy nerds! Bat biglang pumangit ang uniform ng school nung kayo na ang may suot?" sambit ni Clown1 na inintay pa ata sadya kame. Kasama nya yung alawa nya pang alipores.

"E ikaw bakit kahit maayos ang suot mo e ampanget mo?" Sabi ko

"Ano te? Inidoro ka palay. Barado" pangaasar pa ni Claire at sumabay sa tawa ni Phia

Iniwan ko na sila dun at pupunta na sana sa room kaso parang inuuhaw ako kaya nagtext nalang ako sa dalawang bruha na dadaan ako sa mini grocery. Agad namang nagreply si Claire.

Claire-ngot: Hoy gaga! Bili mokong cheesy, naglilihi na ako. Buntis ako suggest ka naman ng ama

me: ano bang itsura nun?

Claire: Basta may balat yun! Bilisan mo alipin ko

me: lagyan kong lason ha? wag ka sanang madapa ka sana

Tinago ko ang selpon ko at dumiretso sa finger food section. Di gaanong matao kase maguumpisa na ang klase. Teka ano ba kasing itsura nung cheesy na yun?

Kinuha ko ang sachet ng cheetos, eto nalang bibilhin ko wag na syang maarte. Aalis na sana ako pero napansin ko ang sachet na kulay blue at red na magkatabi. Takte eto pala ang walangyang cheesy! Binalik ko sa shelf ang cheetos at kukunin ko na sana nang may nauna nang kumuha nun sa shelf.

"yah! That's mine" I said while pointing at the blue sachet that is supposed to be mine

"If this is yours why do I have it?" he asked playfully

"Shit men! I'm about to get it, inunahan mo lang ako" I said then rolled my eyes.

"Don't curse baby"

"Don't call me baby, I'm not an infant...Nevermind" I said as I grabbed the red sachet of cheesy

"Yah! that's mine! You've already have one, aren't you contented? You little dimwit" I hissed as I keep on glaring at him

"Baby I already told you not to curse, besides you can't eat spicy foods" he said then left immediately

That little dimwit! Wag syang papakita saken sasakalin ko talaga sya! I am starting to get irritated and a bit curious about the fact that he knows my allergies in spicy food, maybe a coincidence. I picked the sachet of cheetos and make my way to drinks section. Gladly I've found my favorite drink there looks like there's only two remaining bottles. Why do they have limited stocks?

I'm about to get it when a man appear besides me and got the two remaining bottles.

"Can't you see I'm about to get it?" i asked irritatedly

"Should I say sorry cause you're too slow" he asked sarcastically

"That's supposed to be mine! Inunahan mo lang ako" I'm starting to get mad! Kanina pa ha! May sumpa ba etong grocery na to o sadyang malas ako ngayon?

"supposed to be... kung di ka lang sana nagpabagal-bagal" he said then left

what the? why am I so unlcky? Fuck this fucking day! breathe Eyen breathe.

I picked random bottle of juice and make my way  to the cashier and guess what? He's in front of me. I stared at his back remembering how he stole my soya. You'll pay for what you did dimwit.

I suddenly thought of doing something fun when I saw a small box at the shelf beside me. I get it and slid to his basket full of snacks and drinks. He slightly turned his head back and look at me with a straight face, am I doomed?

I raised my brow at him and he do the same then just look at his phone. At last it was finally his turn. He's busy looking at his phone with furrowed forehead. Looks like he's annoyed but he'll be more annoyed with whaf I did, I can't wait to see his reaction.

"Hmm sir? Is this included? Chocolate flavor, large size?" The cashier asked and look at the guy in front of me.

I can'thelp but to smirk at his sudden reaction. He looked at me with big eyes. I raised my brow at him while smirking.

"You picked the wrong size babe"  he said while looking at me intently

"Oh Im sorry. What is your size again? Small? Or perhaps Extra small?" I asked innocently

"Extra large. Wanna measure it again?"
