Night above the City Lights

"Congratulations Agriculture Department!" Everyone inside the Natatorium shouts as the host of swimming competition announces the winner. I took a photo of all the winners before putting the strap of my camera around my neck.

"Are you done?" I heard his Perseus' voice beside me so I looked at him and slowly nodded. "Okay. Let's go."

It's already 12:30 in the afternoon and kanina pang 8:00 nagstart yung competition so we spent almost 5 hours of taking pictures. As we went out inside the natatorium, we go straight to our club's room to give the all the photos to our editor. After kase ng event ay kailangan na agad ito ipasa para macheck agad ng chief namin before ipasa sa mga journalist para mapublish yung paper.

"Where do you want to eat?" He asked. Kanina ko pa kase nililibot yung mga mata ko sa food stalls dito pero wala akong magustuhan.

"I still don't know..." I sighed. "Are you already hungry? You can eat na naman if you want. I'll look na lang outside. "

"Then let's go outside." He smiled bago kinuha ang kamay ko para hilahin pero hindi pa naman kami nakakayo ay narinig ko ang pangalan ko.

"Cass!" The girl with shot hair running towards us.

"Hello Dana." I give her a smile.

"H-hello." She smiled and looked to the person beside me.

"Ah! Dana, this is Perseus. Perseus, this is Dana, my friend." Dana cutely waved her hand to Perseus but this guy beside me seems he doesn't care. He's really rude. Hindi man lang sya ngumiti.

"Ah... san kayo pupunta? Diba tapos na yung swimming contest?" Bumaba ang tingin nya sa kamay naming magkahawak pa din kaya I immediately take my hands back. Baka kung ano pang isipin nya.

"We will eat lunch." Perseus said without taking his eyes off me.

"A-ahh g-ganon ba? Pwedeng sumama? Hindi pa din kasi ako kumakain ng lunch eh."

"Sor—"

"Of course!" Binigyan ko ng masamang tingin si Perseus bago tumingin kay Dana at ngumiti. "Let's go?"

We went sa isang Korean Resturant because Dana was craving samgyup daw since last week. Ako yung nagluluto habang kinakausap naman nya si Perseus na walang ginawa kun'di tumango ng tumango. I know how to cook naman since mag isa lang ako sa condo ko pero hindi sobrang galing. Mga instant and ready-to-cook na yung usually na niluluto ko.

"Cass, is this already done?" She pointed yung mga beef na niluto ko kaya tumango ako.

"Persues, here oh." Kumuha sya at naglagay sa plato nito.

Dana started eating na. She said na masyado daw busy sa stall naming kaya nakalimutan na nya maglunch. She seems really hungry that she finished all the beef.
