Because He's My First Love (BARKADA SERIES #1)

Chapter 3

It's a busy week, so wala kaming ginawa kundi' mag-aral nang mag-aral.

Research papers, defense, and debates.

Hindi narin kami maka gala with our barkada kasi napaka busy naming lahat. Hindi ko na din masyado nakikita mga friends namin na nasa STEM.

Si Kidlat hindi ko masyado nakakausap kasi busy mag review. He's one of the top students kasi here in HUMSS.

Sila Francine ganoon din.

Ako? Basta nag-aaral ako ng mabuti.

Nasa-iisang room lang kami pero parang may kanya kanya kaming buhay at di' mag kakilala.

Kapag lunch, ako lang mag-isa kakain walang sasama sa kanila.

Edi sila na mga masisipag na estudyante.

Basta nga ako, nag-aaral ng mabuti oks na yon.

Sometimes, I bought them some foods so that they have time to put some stuffs on their stomach naman.

While me, all I wanted is to sleep.

Sa bahay ko na kasi tinapos lahat. Ayokong ma-rush dito sa school.

Sila naman tapos na rin nila yung kanila eh.

Ewan ko ba bakit binabasa pa nila ng paulit-ulit.

Ganoon talaga siguro pag nakikipag sapalaran sa Top.

Sumandal ako sa upuan ko at kinuha ang phone ko sa bag.

Nag scroll nalang ako sa ig at fb.

"Lunch"

Nag lapag si Kidlat ng Iced tea at isang Ensaymada sa table ko.

Tumalikod na agad siya at bumalik sa ginagawa niya.

I heard a fake cough from my back so nilingon ko.

"Ano yon ha?" Eunice teased at kinurot kurot pa ako sa tagiliran.

"Nampapatos ka ng tropa, Selena ha!" Pang-aasar pa ni Francine.

"Caught in action!" April added and they laughed together.

"Shut up! Can you please go back to your businesses nalang?" I replied to them and rolled my eyes, hiding my smile.

"Sus! Kilala ka namin Selena. Yung mga paganyan ganyang galaw mo may halong kilig yan!" April teased and laughed again.

"He's so stupid! Hindi manlang niya sinabi satin na nag fi-fling na pala sila ni Selena. I thought we're barkada!" pag-iinarte ni Francine.

"Manahimik nga kayo para kayong tanga!" hinampas ko sila isa-isa but they still laughed out loud.

Lalakas talaga mang-asar.

After class, sabay sabay na kaming lumabas ng room.

Akala ko ako nanaman mag-isa uuwi kasi ngayong week halos lagi silang nag papaiwan sa room para may gawin.

"Sila Lucas?" Kidlat asked us.

"Let's go to their building!" Francine shouted in excitement.

Nag lakad na kami papuntang STEM building, nangunguna sa lakad sina Francine at naiiwan kami ni Kidlat dito sa likod.

"Kinain mo ba bigay ko kanina?" he asked still looking straight.

"Uhh... Y-yes" I replied.

Bakit ako kinakabahan?!

"Why are you blushing? Napapansin ko everytime that I talk to you, you're always blushing," he said in a teasing voice at di' ko napansing nakatingin na pala siya sakin habang nag lalakad.

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at inirapan.

"Shut up, Kidlat"

"Yieeee kinikilig" he teased and pinched my cheeks.

"Hey, stop--AH! It hurts!" I slapped his hands causing him to remove his hands on my face.

He laughed and winked at me.

Napatigil kami sa pag lalakad nang mapansing pinapanood kami nila Francine.

"W-what?" I asked them.

"Wat wat ka diyan watwatin ko mukha niyo eh, haharot niyo! Mag jowa na ba kayo?" April asked habang nakapamewang.

Sila Francine at Eunice naman nag hahampasan habang tumatawa.

"Of course not!" I denied. I looked at Kidlat and I saw him laughing while looking at me.

"What's funny?!" I asked.

"Nothing. You're so cute, Selena" he replied.

Napayuko ako sa sinabi niya at napakagat sa labi ko.

Wag ka ngumiti Selena. Huhu.

"Hoy lalandi niyo ha! Tara na nga!" April turned around and continued walking.

"Bitter!" Francine and Eunice teased her and laughed.

What's with that?

Di' ko nalang pinansin asaran nila at nag lakad na.

Nang makarating kami sa STEM building, nakita na naming pababa na ng hagdan sina Lance, Lucas at Riane na pababa ng hagdan.

"Yey! We're complete!" Riane shouted and hugged us one by one.

"Parang isang dekada di' nag kita ampotek" Lance mumbled and smirked.

"Pake mo ba?! Can you please shut up there nalang?! Hmp!" Riane replied her.

Nag-aasaran sila habang nag lalakad kami palabas ng school.

Napa-iling nalang ako sa kanila.

"So after a long long busy week, anong balak natin guys?" I asked them while walking.

"Mall!" Riane and Francine said in chorus.

"Hays, girls stuffs" Lucas murmured.

"What's new bro" Kidlat murmured back.

"Uh, let's go for a dinner! Tutal almost 7 pm na" I suggested to be fair sa boys.

Lagi kasi sila nag tatalo dahil nga sila Riane gusto lagi sa Mall. Nag sho-shopping sila at sila Kidlat naman tambay sa arcade. Kami ni April laging buntot lang sa kanila. Kung hindi kila Riane, kila Kidlat kami sasama.

"I'm in." April replied.

Narinig kong sabay-sabay na huminga ng malalim ang boys.

"Buti naman" Lucas mumbled and crossed his arms while walking.

"Libre mo ba, Selena?" Francine asked and gave me a don't-you-dare-to-say-no look.

"KKB duuh" I replied and rolled my eyes.

"Taray!" Lance said and gave me an "o" habang nakahawak sa dibdib niya.

"Wow, you're so arte huh may pahawak pa sa dibdib," I replied and rolled my eyes again "What an actor kuno"

"Woah inulit pa!" he said in a shocked tone of voice.

"Shut up!" I shouted and he just laughed at me.

"Shut up!" Kidlat mocked.

"Hoy, di' ka kasali dito si Lance kaaway ko!" I replied and crossed my arms.

"Si Lance o Ako? Sino mas pogi?" he asked and laughed out loud.

"Syempre ako!" Lance shouted.

"Gago lamang ka lang ng isang jakol sakin pre" Kidlat replied and laughed.

"Hoy bunganga mo!" I said in a shrilled voice.

They all laughed out loud like we're not in a public place. Feeling ko tuloy kami lang nandito at walang tao sa paligid.

I'm really happy being with them.

I hope we're always like this.

I hope so.
