I left Von dumbfounded. I know I acted weird infront of him, pero it was the easy way para hindi niya mahalata. Ayokong magtanong pa siya. So yun na yun. Sabi nga nila overthinking kills, kaya mas mabuti na yung ganito. Tutal ang pagkakaalam ko e, lilipas rin naman ito. So yun I decided to go to cafeteria, gusto kong libangin ang sarili ko.
*****************************
I was about to it nang biglang may umupo sa harap ko. It was Gracey together with Nathan. Yung crush ko nung High School. Anong trip nila?! Psss
"Anika, Bff omg I just bumped Nathan and aOmg guess what?! IKAW AGAD ANG HINANAP NIYA! AYEEE. I remember crush na crush mo siya nung High School, and humayo pa talaga siya sa Katipunan at mag enroll just to be with US! Isn't that sweeet? Oh wait up, what happened to your eyes? It's swollen!" sabi ni Gracey! If you only knew Gracey kayo ni Von ang reason kung bakit pugto itong mata ko. Hmp
" Aw, my eyes? Nakagat lang ito ng ipis kaya ganito, Anyway akala ko ba Nate, nakapasa ka sa UPCAT? Bakit ka nag enroll dito? Hello Nate, It's UP!!" sabi ko pa
"Aren't you happy he's here Anika?" Gracey asked
"No, that's not what I meant, I mean of course I'm happy he's here. Of course. Gusto ko rin namang makita si Nathan. Kayo naman!"
"Osiya, mauna muna ako bff ha? Von wants me to watch his practice. See you around guys! Anika, ikaw na ang bahala kay Nathan ha?" she said before leaving
"So, Nathan kamusta?" I asked. Ang awkward kasi he's not even starting up any conversation
"Okay naman. Ikaw?"
"I'm good. Medyo busy na nga lang. Alam mo naman." I said
"Do you know kung sino yung Von na tinutukoy?" He asked. Abaaaa, ang fishy naman neto! Chismosoo!ha
"Uhh, Yeah, I know Von, why? Hindi mo ba siya kilala or something?"
"No, magtatanong ba ako kung kilala ko?" he said then I laughed, sabagay magtatanong nga ba naman siya kung kilala niya, Hello Anika?! Utak please?!!
"Boyfriend ni Gracey yung Von. Bakit ba interesado ka? You like Gracey no?"
"No, I just wanna ask lang naman. Ikaw ba may boyfriend na?" Tanong niya
"Ofcourse meron nu! Ikaw ba may girlfriend na?"
"May boyfriend ka na? Who is the lucky guy then?"
"Ba't ba naging interesado ka sa mga relationship status namin Nathan ah? Hindi ko alam may lahi ka na pala ni Boy Abunda?" I said trying not to sound irritated. Ibang iba siya sa Nathan way back then. Hmp
"Naaa, gusto ko lang naman malaman, and to answer your question. I don't have a girlfriend. SATISFIED?" Sagot ni Nathan.
"Aw, ganun? i can't believe it! Ikaw, single? I thought sinagot ka na ng nililigawan mo? Sino nga ba yun...... Is it si Clarissa?"
"It's complicated, long story" he replied. I checked my wrist watch and it's already quarter to 6. I think I have to go home na.
"Aw, By the way Nathan, I think I need to go na. Mag gagabi na rin kasi e, see you around Nathan ha? Take Care!" I said then waved at him.
This day was really a blast! First inintriga nila ako sa pugtong mga mata ko na sabi ko kinagat ng ipis pero ang totoo umiyak ako magdamag ng dahil sa pag-ibig na yan, and secondly dumating sNathan na first heartbreak ko at naging interesado sa relationship status ko, This day was really a long tiring day for me! What's new pa nga ba diba? Bigo ka na nga sa pag-ibig, stress ka pa! Well, life sometimes are full of surprises.
