Mika

Good thing Kiefer and I were able to stand up right before the door was opened. Nakakahiya if maabutan nila kami na ganun. Shocks. Si Kiefer kasi eh, naughty as always.

We're on our way to the carpark when we bumped into the lady in blue. I can't say that we're really good friends, but she's definitely not my enemy. Saktong pakikisama lang. She's much closer to Kiefer for obvious reasons. Kiefer told me that they would sometimes hang out inside their campus. Coz they're good friends. Yah, good friends. Did I just say good friends?

"Uy guys, you're here din pala", she said while greeting us with a smile.

"Hi", I said.

"Uy, idol. Who's with you?", Kiefer asked.

"Just me. Pauwi na kayo?"

"Yah. We just bought something", Kiefer answered.

"Are you guys in a rush? You want to have coffee first?"

Kiefer was about to say something when I interrupted.

"Ah, sorry, I've got curfew eh."

"Ahy oo nga pala. Maybe next time. Hey Kief, I need to ask you something tomorrow sa school ah. I need your help dun sa thesis ko."

"Oh sure. Just text or call me. You know naman my vacant period eh", Kiefer answered.

"Oo naman. Ang lakas ng trip mo pag vacant mo eh. You know what Mika, your boyfriend is such a bully. Pag bored siya, ako lagi pinagtitripan niya. He'll text me. Sasabihin na pinapatawag daw ako sa admin office for something. Then pagpunta ko wala pala. And gugulatin niya ako dun."

"Haha. Ano ka, you like it naman kasi after bumabawi ako, nililibre kita ng lunch."

"Well. Ciempre noh. You're like giving me a heart attack everytime. So dapat lang."

"And ang dami mong order lagi. Ano nga yung favorite mo dun?"

"Everything. Haha. Ciempre, taking advantage kasi libre mo."

I can actually disappear right now, and I bet they won't notice me. I feel like they still want to continue it over coffee. Sarap ng usapan nila ha. Ganda.

"Hey, baka you guys missed each other, you can have coffee actually. I can just take a taxi." I said, while waiting for Kiefer to look at me and say something.

"Ahy hindi na, magkikita naman kami niyan bukas. Magsasawa din ako sa sobrang kulit niyan tomorrow", she said.

"Humanda ka bukas sa akin", Kiefer said.

My boyfriend and his friend. FLIRTING 101. Module 1: How to do it in front of bae. Galing.

"Uy sige, I'll go ahead na, nice seeing you guys", she said.

"Ingat idol", Kiefe said.

I just waved coz my jaw just won't bend for a smile. Hindi kaya. Kiefer's playing it cool though. Nakangiti pa ang gags. Obviously, he can't notice that I'm close to being sprak. Clueless. But I don't want to make a big deal out of it. This has been such a good day for me to end it with a sprak.

He's driving while I'm pretending to be busy with my phone.

"Nakakatuwa talaga siya babe noh?", Kiefer said.

"Who?"

"Si L. She's really like that. Sobrang jolly. You will never get bored pag kasama mo siya."

The heck. Nanahimik na ako.

"Pansin ko nga", I said. Hoping that that would be the end of our conversation about her.

"Actually, wala talaga akong close before sa Lady Eagles. Medyo mataray kasi iba doon. Kinda intimidating. Then nung naging classmates kami, ayun. Sobrang cool niya."
