"Hey guys, I'm buying sa starbucks na. You guys want the usual ba or wanna try something new?" I ask them while looking for my wallet. Where is it na ba?
"Usual!" sabay na sabay nilang sabi
"I'll come with you!"
"Ako rin!"
"Alright, i cant find my freaking wallet, who among you guys get it from me?" tanong ko sakanila
"Luh mambibintang ka pa eh, oh ayan wallet mo. Pinahawak mo sakin kanina" said Jaylen Quinn, the only girl in this group
"Oh?, sorry i forgot, im arranging your schedules for this month kasi, you guys are getting big month by month" ngiti ko sakanila as i got my wallet from Jaylen
"Tara na at mag commute!" sabi ni Andryan Andreson
"Nope. As I said, you guys are booming, after you got your sweldos, umawas ako ng kaunti at nag-invest para sa van, I hope you guys won't mind. I parted your salaries naman equally diba?"
"WHOAAAAAAA!" sabi nilang lahat
"TEKA SASAMA KAMING LAHAAAAT!" at ayon nga nag-unahan sila sa pagbaba sa aming condominium
"WAAAAAAAAH! THE BEST KA TALAGA AEILEAU MASON HARRIS!" (ey-luwa mason harris-pronounciation)
"You guys deserve it naman, after years here you guys are, nakikilala na" ngiti ko sakanila
"Ako mag da-drive!"
"Shot-gun seaaaaaaaaaat!"
At muli nagka-gulo nanaman sila kung saan uupo, pinagmasdan ko naman sila habang ngiting-ngiti sa aking napag-isipan ibigay sa grupo.
"Mason! hinihintay mo dyan?!, tara na!" sigaw sa akin niJaylen
"Did you guys lock the condo?" tanong ko sakanila
"YES!" sabay sabay nalang sabi, natawa nalang ako at sumakay na. Dito sa may pintuan ako na-pwesto
"This is brand new, but i get it half of the price, I somehow know who's the dealer eh" sabi ko, pinagkakalikot na kasi nila itong van
"Yo! check it!, it has mini cooler intact!" sigaw ni Rehan Campbell mula sa likod, at dahil nga sa gustong makita ng lahat, yumanig ang van.
"Hey!, mamaya na yan!, masyado kayong malikot!, sit!" sigaw ko sakanila, nagsi-upo naman na sila kaagad at nanahimik
We got here naman sa Starbucks ng matiwasay. As usual matatagpuan mo silang maingay at nagtatawanan sa kung ano-anong bagay
"HALA! UNPREPARED!" napalingon kami sa biglang may sumigaw sa pangalan ng banda
"Ohh we got a fan here" bulong ni Brennon Carson na tama lang para marinig ng grupo
"Hi!, tara dito!" aya ni Jaylen naman sakanya, agad-agad ay napadpad siya dito sa gawi namin, mag-isa lang siya
"Hala hiiiii po! i'm a huge faaan!. I love your songs!, lalo na yung Broken?, super deep!, The Fantasy is so beautiful!, Reach It, is so inspirational!" tuwang-tuwa niyang sabi at nagtatatalon sa harapan namin, natawa nalang kami sa kakulitan niya, she's 15 or 16?, sa tingin ko lang
"We can take a picture if you want" ngiti ko sakanya na nagpalaglag sa kaniyang panga, mas natawa kami doon
"YES!!! HALA I LOVE YOU GUYS PO! THIS IS AN HONOR! MISS HARRIS!, YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL! HUHUHUHU! WAAAAAAAAH!" napailing nalang ako at nakitawa na, she's so hyper kasi!
We take a picture na, at talagang sinulit niya dahil napuno ata namin ang cellphone niya.
"There we go, thanks darling. See you some other time then?" sabi ko sakanya, nagulat kami dahil sa biglaan niyang pag-iyak
"Hala bakit ka nag-cry?" tanong ni Dalton Bennett, at dinaluha si girl na umiiyak
"Hey kid, what's your name?" tanong din ni Kade Ledger at lumapit na din
"France Parley po" oh what a nice name
"Hi france!, stop crying na okay?, pinapakaba mo kami eh" worried na sabi ni jaylen
"I am so sorry po, it's just that I'm so happy meeting you guys in person, this is one of my dreams po eh" at kumalma na siya
"Aww, hey France?" tawag pansin naman sakanya ni Alessio Smith
"po?" sabi ni France at pinunasan ang luha, tumulong pa nga sila Dalton and Kade. Cute!
"How about you visit us?, I mean punta ka? sa condo namin?" hinampas ko siya at binigyan ng masamang tingin, eh kung madaming ginagawa yung bata?, baka mahirapan lang. She's also a minor din.
"PO?!, SERYOSOO?!!" gulat na gulat niyang sabi na maski kami ay nagulat din
"If only you're available lang ha? and make sure na magpapa-alam ka sa parents mo. We dont want them to worry about your whereabouts" ngiti ko sakanya
"As if I have parents anyway, but HALAAA, legit po ba? totoo? hindi prank? weh?" then she jump at here place, she's so cute!
"Hmm..." said Hames Davis at pinagmasdan ang tuwang-tuwa na si France habang nakikipagkulitan sa grupo
"What do you think?, bad idea?" tanong ko sakanya
"No. It's just that I sense something in her..." mahina niyang sabi at baling sa akin
"Like what?"
"Sadness, loneliness, depression" said him then sip from his cup. I looked at France, she doesn't look like any of what Hames says, she's so happy. Or is it just her mask?
"For a kid?" takang baling ko sakanya ng mapagtantong imposible ang kaniyang sinasabi dahil bata pa si France
"It doesn't choose any age Mason. It's all exprience. Most teenagers in this century is either depressed or having anxiety. Don't get the idea that they're just kids. Believe me most of them now are having deep problems than most adults are" seryosong sabi niya
"Okay. Alright, noted boss" dalawang kamay na nakataas at nginisian ko pa siya. Iniirapan lang naman ako. Taray
"SHUTAA AS IN SERYOSO POOOO?" tuwang-tuwa na sabi ni France.
"Yes naman France, you know. You're the first one who has pictures with us. We're not that famous kasi, so we're really glad that you know us" sincere na sabi ni Jaylen
"YES!" said France happily, what a cute kid she is.
