To Fall Again

Chapter TWENTY-SIX

Matapos ihatid sakanilang kwarto ang kambal. Huminga ako ng malalim, hindi ko naman sinasadyang masabi ang mga iyon. Pero hindi ko na kasi napigilan ang galit ko! Paano naman kasi, sa mukha palang at sa sitwasyon na nadatnan ko kanina parang pambu-bully na nga ang nagyayari.

Naglakad ako pabalik sa kwarto ko nang tumunog ang phone ko. Kumunot ang noo ko at agad na kinuha iyon mula sa bulsa ng pants ko. Nagulat ako nang makitang galing kay Ellaine ang message. First, she's only texting me if something's serious happening. Second if it is really that important, charot. So in short we only texting each other if needed to, ewan weird lang talaga kami ng bestfriend ko. Me and Ellaine was the one closer from the group, it was a bit funny to think that we have the opposite personality. I'am the wild and aggresive one, I'am really straightforward and very impatient, sinasabi ko kung ano ang gusto ko. While Ellaine the very kind one. She's the softie of the group, she's prim and proper parang isang prinsesa. She's very simple, and she doesn't know the word bad. Minsan lang din siya magalit, kaya nga nagugulat ako sa mga sinabi niya sa gc noong isang araw. Nakaka-guilty nga kasi para kaming mga bad influence sakanya, charot!

Phillie and Lany we're very close too, halos pareho lang ang attitude ng dalawa, parehong maharot. Phillie was playful, Lany the sexy devil. Parehong may strong personality, that's why I admired them a lot. Si Lany kahit gaano pa kabigat ang problemang dinadala niya, hindi siya magsasabi at hindi mo mahahalata sakanya na may problema nga siya. While Calsey the neutral, she's close to everyone. She's the kikay one, maarte at kakaiiritahan mo talaga ang way niya sa pagsasalita. But if you'll know her more, you'll love her personality.

I opened her message and immediately got creased on my forehead when I've read it.

My clingy Ellaine: hey, do you have plan tonight? Can you have a drink with me?

Mabilis akong nagtipa ng mensahe sakanya.

Me: G!

Me: What time? Location? Do you want me to pick you up?

I bit my lower lip. I had a bad feeling about this. I'am not sure what is it but I knew I should comfort her. Kaya nga hindi ko na siya tinanong pa kung bakit niya ako inaaya mas maganda kung mamaya na lang baka pa magbago pa ang isip niya.

My clingy Ellaine: I'll pick you up at seven. See you!

I sighed.

Me: sure whatever pleases you.

Agad akong naligo para naman makapag-ayos na. It was early but I have to make sure I won't be late. Pagkatapos maligo sa loob ng isang oras agad akong pumunta sa walk in closet ko para pumili ng masusuot. I chose the beige spaghetti strap crop top and terno with a high-waist ripped jeans. I put a simple make up; red lipstick and eye liner. My hair was in a high ponytail, sinuot ko din ang white gold necklace ko para naman hindi ako masyadong magmukhang simple. May siyam na maliliit na bell na kumikinang kapag nasisinagan nang liwanang na nakasabit roon sa kwintas. Nang ma-satisfied nasa sarili umupo na ako sa couch para hintayin si Ellaine. I was in the middle of browsing on my social media when my phone rang. I bit my lower lip when I saw Primo's name in it. Oh-oh, I forgot he's stopping over here! My monggo!

"H-ello?" I hesitantly answered.

I heard him sighed. "Hey. I'm here. Outside of your house."

I bit my lower lip. Guilt dawned on me for forgetting him! I'm such an irresponsable girlfriend.

"Uhm..K-asi."

"Is there any problem?" I heard him said worriedly.

"No!" Agap ko. Yumuko agad ako, nahihiya. "Kasi..baba na ko. Wait me there."
