We just finished eating dinner. I will do my homework in General Mathematics first. I took my bag when my cellphone beeped.
Ephraim Sylvester (eph_sylvester) has requested to follow you.
Wait. Who's this?
I will see if he is my friend on Facebook or not. Because I don't accept friend requests from people I don't know. I looked, and I saw he was not my friend on Facebook.
I got confused. He first followed me on IG before Facebook ha. It's not that I think he will add me on Facebook.
Never mind. I'll do my homework.
The next day, I arrived at the campus. Hazel noticed me, so I smiled at her. "Emine!" Bineso niya ako.
"Ikaw haa. Hindi mo na ako binati simula noong dumating ako rito. Hmph!" Tampo niya.
Si Hazel ay kakilala ko na, noon pa. Hmm. I can call her my childhood friend na rin. We had been friends for as far back as I could remember.
"Saan ba ang room mo?" tanong ko.
"Uhmm.. section three kaming mga transferee. Alam mo naman iyong patakaran- AH! Sige sige Emine! Baka dumating na iyong professor niyo!" She hurriedly walked to her room.
I looked in the direction of her eyes were looking and saw Hayzam.
"Oh, hi Emine!"
"Hello," bati ko pabalik. "What's with that smile, huh?" I teased him.
"Wala. Halika na, baka late na tayo kay Teacher Kallie" he changed the topic.
I saw Aaron. He was with the man sitting with us yesterday. Aaron saw me then smiled at me.
Noah and I had lunch at the canteen. Maybe Aaron has a basketball practice because he is not with us now.
I opened my Facebook account, and I got notified by Facebook, saying that Ephraim sent me a friend request.
I no longer focused on that. I looked to see if Aaron had texted me pero wala.
I came home, and I texted Aaron.
To Aaron:
I have reached home.
I finished my assignments as well as those that need to be completed next week.
I went down to eat. I kissed My on the cheek before I went to Dy and also kissed him on the cheek.
I went upstairs, and I immediately took my phone and looked to see if Aaron had replied.
Unfortunately, nothing yet. What is he doing? Is he home yet?
To Aaron:
Nakauwi ka na ba?
My phone beeped.
From Aaron:
Yes.
Yes lang? Ang cold ha.
To Aaron:
Wala ka kanina. Nasaan ka?
From Aaron:
Basketball practice with Ephraim.
Familiar 'yong name. Ah! Natatandaan ko na. Siya 'yong nag send saakin ng friend request.
To Aaron:
Mabuti naman. Do you mean the man who sat with us yesterday?
From Aaron:
Yes.
And cold naman. I did not reply. Hindi naman kasi kareplyreply iyang sagot mo. Hmp!
It was late when I accepted Ephraim's friend request. I click on his profile. Hmm. He does not upload pictures of himself or even post anything.
He used a display profile of the anime characters he likes, maybe.
Sigh. I texted Aaron, "good night."
Three minutes passed, but Aaron did not text back.
