"Kasi ate kaaway namin siya sa soccer, diba Zeke?" Creios elbowed Zeke in the gut. Zeke clutched his stomach and nodded fast, "yes ate, kaaway namin yun... masama ugali non."
They looked at me with eyes that wanted me to believe in them. "Wait, bat hindi ko siya kilala? Kilala ko naman lahat ng kaaway niyo ah," I replied. "You guys never keep secrets from your ate," I added to make them guilty, pero for sure hindi nila talaga 'to kaaway.
If kaaway nila edi kinuwento na sana nila sa'kin o baka tumatanda na sila at nagbibinata that's why they didn't include me anymore... nakakadisappoint pag ganon.
They were at loss for words when they heard what I said. Seconds later Creios eyes lit up and he shouted, "mali pala ate mali! Pinsan siya ng kaaway namin!"
"Ay oo nga ate nakalimutan namin, hindi kasi siya ganun ka importante!" Zeke chimed at nakita ko silang nagtitinginan ng palihim parang sikretong usapang nagpapasahan ng mensahe ang mga mata nila.
Huminga ako ng malalim at inisip na hayaan na lang sila, bahala na si batman. "Sige, I believe you guys just like how I believe that crush kayo ng crush niyo," they both flinched at my words, "dahil malaki ang tiwala ko sa inyo, I believe you guys."
I smiled at them acting like I truly did believed them, pero deep inside sinusumpa ko na sila. I know how to manipulate people, bring it on... sooner or later you guys will tell me.
'Grabe ka te, ayaw nila sabihin sayo bat pilit ka ng pilit?' Ah the feeling angel a.k.a my inner self appeared again, 'pake mo ba? Ayaw ko lang na may tinatago ang mga tao sa'kin.'
'Yeah and like you aren't used too it.' Yeah, totoo naman ever since I was a kid... ayaw ko lang na may tinatago na naman.
"Ate are you ok? Kanina ka pa tahimik," I could hear Creios concerned voice, saving me from those painful thoughts. Ngumiti ako at nagsingungaling, "pasensya na, may gagawin pa pala kami ngayon... I have to go, bye ingat kayo."
Even the birds knew that was a lie, first day pa lang tas may gagawin na. Paying no mind, I quickly left after saying good bye to them not bothering to hear their replies.
Now what? Kain nalang muna ako, hindi ako nabusog kanina.

Weeks passed and the exam week was already over. Many things happened, like for example me and Aster got pretty close, we were close enough to swap numbers and text each other every night.
At nalaman ko na same classes din pala kami ni Samael, so naging close ko din siya pero hindi gaano kasi parang takot siya kay Aster. Why would he be afraid though, ang cute kaya ni Aster parang Siberian Husky.
'Baka chihuahua ang nakikita niya pag nakikita niya si Aster,' my inner voice made its presence known and I thought over what it said.
'Hindi naman nakakatakot ang Chihuahua?' Then suddenly videos of the said dog flashed on my mind and I silently agree to what my mind said.
"What's gotten you scared?" I heard a voice questioning me, looking up I saw Aster with his jacket hanging on his shoulder. Making me drool at the muscle that was noticeable, slapping myself from thinking such perverted thoughts, ngumiti ako sa kanya and waved a peace sign.
"Wala naman, may iniisip lang ako," I answered his question when he sat down and decided to arrange my things. Kapal naman ng mukha nito, Aster arranged it in a neat order and said, "ako bang iniisip mo?"
"Oo natatakot ako sayo," rolling my eyes at his flirtatious advance. I ignored him and decided to busy myself with drawing, ugh sa lahat naman ng hindi ako magaling ba't sa drawing pa?
"As long as maganda ang nagbebenta kahit stickman pa yan or line lang, may bibili talaga." Aster noticed my frown.
"Lalo na ako, I'll buy hundreds of it even if it costs a million," Aster held a lock of my hair and looked at me. Kikiligin na ba ako nito? I looked at him weirdly, ano kayang nakain nito?
Slightly blushing, I pouted, "sige, promise bilhin mo ah? Eto sayo na to, now give me my one million." I teared the piece of paper from my notebook and handed him the drawing of a mutilated stickman.
"Wala pa akong pera, would you like to accept another offer? Ito muna sana ang ibabayad ko," Aster said while smiling at my drawing.
"Sure, ano yon? Basta bayaran mo ah, seryoso ako," I joked.
Aster grabbed something from his wallet and showed me what he was holding. I gasped and looked at the two movie tickets, omeygash it was the movie that I desperately wanted to watch but it's already sold out.
"Would it be alright if I take you out on a date?"
