Chapter 02
Ngiti
"May boyfriend ka?" tanong ni Yumi kay Maybel.
"Ka-fling lang. Dilawan. Basketball player. Rawr," Maybel replied, her hands were forming like a claw as she roared.
"Talaga? Eh, 'di ba 'yung pinsan mo, Lois, taga-UST? Si Tracy-"
" I don't know because I don't really care about her," I straightly said.
"Oh, okay..." yumuko siya.
Kasalukuyan kaming nakaupo sa SEC walk. Sabi kasi ni Jesther ay pupunta siya ngayon dito sa University namin.
I sighed and looked at my wristwatch. "9:58 AM na, ah. If he'll not be here at ten, I'll leave."
Maybel laughed. "Chill ka nga lang. You're always angry. Mag-boyfriend ka na kaya. Gusto mong hanapan kita?"
I raised a brow at her. "Do I look like I need boys in my life?"
Nakatingin lang siya sa 'kin, naghahanap ng magandang sasabihin. Pinagpagan ko ang suot kong itim na Chanel skirt.
"Alam niyo, I don't need a boy in my life. I'm independent and I'm happy alone. Besides, having a boyfriend would just ruin my life," sabi ko.
I have seen a lot of people ending up broken hearted. I'm actually a believer of love but sometimes, I think it's just so absurd.
I rolled my eyes and looked at my wristwatch again. One minute nalang at aalis na talaga ako rito.
"Ang bitter naman," Yumi joked.
I looked at her. "I'm not being bitter. I just love myself," I replied and flipped my hair. "That's it. Aalis na ako."
Saktong pagtayo ko ay kaagad na dumating si Jesther na nakangiti, hinihingal siya ng konti, probably he ran. Kaagad niyang hinawakan ang mga balikat ko.
"Kalma, nandito na ako," aniya.
I straightly looked at him. "Don't touch my branded blouse. It's from Paris so please... get your hands off of it."
I was clenching my jaw. Ugh! Ayoko talagang may humahawak sa mga mamahalin kong damit.
Tinanggal niya ang kamay niya at itinaas ito na para bang kriminal na nahuli.
"Okay, okay. Nakasimangot ka na naman," aniya.
I only rolled my eyes.
"Tara na, kain na tayo," yaya ni Maybel.
"Tara," si Jesther.
Naglakad na kami papunta sa JSEC. Pagkatapos naming bumili ng pagkain ay umupo na kami sa may malapit na mesa.
"Uy, I heard that you two went out!" Maybel pouted.
Tumawa si Jesther. "Lois was bored so she asked me to hang out."
"Saan kayo nagpunta?"
"Sa arcade lang."
"Yiee," Yumi teased. "Kayong dalawa, ha."
Seryoso kong tiningnan si Yumi. "Pwede ba? Stop teasing us. We're just friends. May boundary. May linya."
Jesther slowly chuckled. He looked at me and smiled but I only rolled my eyes.
"Sorry..." Yumi said.
Kinabukasan ay maaga na naman akong natapos. Instead of going home, I went to my cousin's house.
Like my mother, their parents are also busy going in and out of town. Kaso ang kaibahan, kapag may time sina Tito at Tita ay nagbo-bonding sila.
Pagdating doon ay kaagad akong binati ng mga helper. I saw Zia playing some clay dough in the living room.
