"What does Chad like anyway?" Tanong ko kay Charry.

"Cars, branded shoes, and PlayStations," Sabi ni Charry kaya naman natigilan ako sa pag bibilang ng pera.

"The only car that I can afford is a toy one," I said and they all giggled in return. 

"Kahit ano naman na galing sayo, magugustuhan niya for sure," 

"She's right," Kelly said. 

"Sino bang nabunot niyo?" Tanong ko pero hindi sila sumagot.

"Secret," Cheska said.

After meeting Chad the other day, we celebrated at Elli's condo for passing the finals at dahil kumpleto kami nung araw na 'yun, nag bunutan na rin kami for Christmas. Two days from now, pasko na and I don't have any idea what to buy for Chad since siya ang nabunot ko.

"Maarte 'yung nabunot ko and for sure, I have to spend a lot of money to buy her a gift," Kelly said.

"Buti na lang nanalo ako sa pageant," She added before waving her sash in front of our faces.

"You could have won the first place if you weren't wearing a pastel pink scarf during the swimwear category," Elisse said.

"Swimwear and scarf just don't match," Dagdag pa ni Cheska. I made face to realize that they're badmouthing the scar that I gifted for Kelly. 

"It's just that the scarf was important to me," Kelly said, referring to the pastel pink scarf that I gave her as an apology gift.

"A boyfriend's gift?" Tanong nila pero ngumiti na lang si Kelly bilang tugon.

Three hours ago was Kelly's pageant and we were there to cheer her up. She won second place and right after the event, dumiretso agad kami dito sa mall to eat dinner and buy gifts for Christmas.

In the end, I bought Chad a watch as a Christmas gift. Chad is rich enough to buy himself luxurious watches and accessories so I don't know if he'll like my gift. Just as how much I want to buy him expensive things, I just can't afford it. But knowing Chad, for sure he'll appreciate it.

 Well, I hope so.

"Parang ang dami mo namang binili," Charry said while looking at Elisse's shopping bags.

"Well, I bought a new bikini since it will be a pool party and I also bought new clothes," 

"Why not just buy the entire mall?" Tanong ko.

"Wow, that's a good idea Naddy. I'll think of that soon," Sabi niya kaya naman napailing ako. 

"Crazy rich bitch," I said and she giggled in return.

"Paano? Kita kita na lang tayo sa pool party?" Tanong ni Cheska nang makalabas kami sa mall.

"Yeah, see you there," Kelly said before walking away. 

"Sabay na kami ni Cheska since we'll meet Ivan and Leo," Charry said.

"Sige, Ingat kayo," I replied before bidding them goodbye. 

"Take care!" Elisse said. 

"How about you, Naddy?" Elisse asked.

"Pupuntahan ko si Elli. Ikaw ba?" 

"Hatid na kita," She said and I agreed cause, after all, a free ride is the best thing in the world.

"What's your favorite color Naddy?" Tanong niya sa gitna ng byahe.
