Ang boring ng araw ko ngayon.Tapos dumagdag pa yung balitang MS daw kami ni Keliam.Kahit saan talaga e mayroon mga chikadora at chikodoro.Chika here,chika there---chika minute!

Sa sobrang kainisan ko e niyaya ko yung mga kapatid ko at sina Yeshin, Sheyna at Haliah na magpunta muna ng Cafeteria at magsnack.Maging dito rin e pinagchichimisan nila 'ko at si Keliam.

"Having a bad day?"rinig kong boses galing sa likod at nilingon ko naman ito.

"Ohh...H-Hi, Keliam."pagbati ko sa kanya.

"Ang aga-aga at nai-stress ka kaagad ."tugon ni Keliam at naupo sa tabi ko.

"How can I calm down when those bitches keep on spreading rumors about the two of us."galit kong sabi.

"Which aren't true,right? So, why would we even bother ourselves to think about it when we have lot of things to prioritize than wasting our time getting angry with them."sabi niya at tiningnan ako.

"Keliam's right."pagsang-ayon ni Zihan.

"Btw, I'm Ayla Zihan Elavelda."pagpapakilala niya.

"Nice meeting you.It's such an honor to closely witness the ethereal beauty of an Elavelda's."sabi niya.

"Parang sira 'to."sabi ko.

"Makapuri naman to oh."nahihiyang sabi ni Zihan.

"Well, you all deserves it.Every girls,ladies and womens deserves to be compliment.You may have differences when it comes to appearance still you all are gorgeous.But the sad fact is yung iba maganda itsura pero basura yung ugali."pagpapakatotoo ni Keliam."Sabi nga nila 'no one is perfect' kaya let's just accept the fact that you can't have everything."

"I like you."marahan sabi ni Reign."I mean, I like the way talk, the way you boost and cheer every girls, ladies and womens confidence."

"Your girlfriend must be really lucky to have you as her boyfriend."sabi ko at tinapik yung likod niya.

"But sadly, e wala pang jowa 'yang si Keliam."pambubuking sa kanya ni Yeshin.

"Oh, really?"di makapaniwalang tanong ko.

"Uh-huh, though I'm not sad.I just pity myself for loving a person who's blind to face the reality."seryosong sagot nito.

"Then who's that lucky girl?"pagtatanong rin ni Viena.

"Let's just not talk about her.She might be around here as well and heard us.And if that happens, it will result no good to all of you."sabi niya kaya hindi na kami nagpumilit pa na alamin kung sino ba yung gurla na yun.

"Btw, about the rumors spreading about the two of us, just ignore it.We both know that were not doing anything wrong."dugtong niya.

"Yeah, I will."pagsagot ko.

Pabalik na kami sa room ng biglang makasalubong namin sa daan ang grupo ni Leyna.

"It seems that the two of you are getting closer towards each other.Well, it's good thing."saad ni Leyna.

"As what I've said, just ignore them."bulong na sabi ni Keliam at hinawakan ang kamay ko at naglakad palayo kanila Leyna.

Pagkarating namin sa room e binitawan na niya yung kamay ko.

"By the way, I'm sorry for what I did kanina, I did it on purpose."paliwanag niya.

"It's okay."saad ko at nagtungo sa upuan ko.

Wala daw si Prof. Bora kaya heto nag-usap-usap nalang kami.

"Yeshin, do you know who's the girl that Keliam used to liked before?"pagtatanong ko.

"I don't think if I'm in the position to tell you about this 'cause it's a hot issue 'till now."tugon ni Yeshin sa mahinang boses.

"Why you're lowering your voice? Does it mean that the girl is also here?"tanong ni Zihan.

"Parang ganun na nga."

"Ehem,"pagtikhim ni Keliam na nasa harapan namin ngayon."I knew it, you're still curious about it."

"A-Ahm...curious lang kami."saad ko.

"Okay,fine.I'll tell you about it now."saad niya."It's Leyna."bulong niyang sabi samin.

"Hell no!"Zihan exclaimed.

"Come on, seriously?"tanong ko.

"Keliam is telling you the truth."sabi ni Sheyna."The person she liked, like someone else."

"Are you referring to Yanes?"

"Absolutely."

"Oh, ayan na ha, sinabi ko na sainyo."nakangiti nitong sabi.

"God has reasons why you and her didn't ended up together.Don't worry God has reserved someone for you."pagpapapanatag ko sa loob niya.

"Akira's right.Someone who'll see your worth."dagdag ni Zihan.

"The one who'll love you as well the way you love her."sabi rin ni Viena.

"You deserve a hug."tugon ni Reign at niyakap si Keliam.

"Si Reign lang ba yung yayakap sakin? I mean, malapit niyo na 'kong lahat paiyakin."tugon ni Keliam na naghihinatay na yakapin rin namin siya.

"Okay, fine. Let's give Keliam a group hug."sabi ko at niyakap naman namin siya.

At bigla naman dumating ang TOP at Trios.

"Woahhh...Haliah, why are you hugging him?"pagtatanong ni Sef na bakas sa mukha ang pagseselos niya.

"Don't be such an overthinker,Sef.That hug was just to comfort him."pagtatanggol ko kay Haliah.

"Akira's right."pagsang-ayon ni Haliah.

"But you already have a boyfriend, have you forgotten about it already?"

"No,it's not like that."

"Just because she already have boyfriend, she's not allowed now to make friends with others, that's unfair!"sabi ni Keliam.

"What do you mean?"galit na tanong ni Sef.

"The fact that you have a lot of girls around you everyday yet you never heard Haliah complain about it,right? And now that you just saw him hugged me, you're getting angry now.And after all, there's no reason for you to get mad 'cause I and Haliah are just friends."paglilinaw ni Keliam.

Umalis naman si Sef at sinundan ito ni Haliah.

"Sa susunod kasi Keliam, kung alam mong may nagmamay-ari na wag ka ng umiksena pa."sabi ni Yanes.

At bigla naman kaming isa-isang niyakap ni Keliam.

"How about now? Is there still a problem hugging them? No one owns them and I think there's nothing wrong hugging them,right?"pagsagot ni Keliam.

"Just ignore him."bulong kong sabi sa kanya.

"A-Ahm...If you don't mind, you can now go to your seats and mind your own business."sabi ko kina Yanes at umalis naman sila.

Tinuloy naman namin yung usapan namin hanggang sa lahat kami ay nagtawanan ng biglang may kwinento si Keliam samin.

"I was young at that time when a friend of mine asked me what booger tastes like.Therefore, as his friend, I told him that for him to find out about it, he must eat his booger."tugon ni Keliam.

"Eeeee...Keliam ang baboy mo."nandidire kong sabi sa kanya.

"Come on...I was just joking at him but that idiot literally did it.He eats his booger infront of my handsome face."saad ni Keliam sabay hawak sa mukha niya.

"Kilabutan ka nga noh."sabi ko sa kanya.

"So did he tell you, what it tastes like?"tanong ni Reign.

"Uh-huh."

"Sira kasi talaga yun.Pagkasinabi ko, ginagawa niya."natatawang sabi ni Keliam.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA."At nagtawanan naman kaming lahat.

"May I remind you all, hindi lang kayo yung tao dito kaya please minimize your voice!"galit ulit na sabi ni Yanes.
