Have you ever been awkward to the person whom you spend time with almost every day? Like, the two of you should get along right? Especially if you'll have to deal with each other for a very long time.


But no. Things do not work for me and Creed that way. We've been ignoring each other for years and we refuse to be even friends off cam. Well, most of the time, we're usually at each other's throats.


Things just cannot be civil between the two of us. I don't have any idea why, when, or how this setup started. It just happened that Creed's an expert in being a jerk.


Pero ngayon, para bang biglang nag-iba ang ihip ng hangin. Nope, hindi siya bumait okay? He's still a jerk. But he noticeably has serious issues with me!


Not that he never had some before but I really think this one is on a different level.


We're currently having dinner with the whole staff. Creed's sitting across my seat and his looks are making me uncomfortable! Kanina pa 'yang mga tingin niya sa 'kin na parang nanghuhusga eh. I told myself na hindi ko na siya poproblemahin but he's making it hard to do so! He's high-key bothering me!


"Bakla, masiyado naman yatang natuwa si direk sa outcome ng taping niyo at naisipang ilibre tayong lahat ng dinner." Frances whispered. They're sitting next to me kaya nagagawa nilang mag-chismisan.


Nasa isang long table kasi kami at sina direk ay nasa right end ng table. Kami namang mga actors ay nasa left end. Supposedly, the managers and the make-up artists should be at the other long table pero itong si Frances at Angel ayaw makisama sa mga kapwa nila make-up artists. Wala raw silang ka-close doon at baka mawalan lang daw sila ng gana. Ang aarte talaga kahit kailan.


"Kaya nga eh, galingan niyo palagi ni Fafa Creed para happy na ang tummy, happy rin ang aming money!" Nagtawanan sila ni Frances at nag-apir pa.


Hindi ba nila na-realize na katapat lang namin si Creed at malaki ang posibilidad na naririnig niya 'yung pinagsasasabi nila? Gosh.


"So... Fafa Creed," Napasulyap ako kay Angel nang bigla niyang kausapin si Creed. "Do you have a girlfriend?"


Bigla akong nabilaukan sa pesto na kinakain ko kaya napaubo ako. Nakuha ko ang atensiyon nina Direk so I signalled them that I'm fine.


Bakit ba walang preno ang bibig nitong si Angel? Can't she be more sensitive?


"Hinay-hinay lang baks, hindi ka mauubusan." Hinagod ni Angel 'yung likod ko kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.


"So ano nga, Fafa Creed?" At talagang itinuloy niya pa!


Tiningnan ko si Creed at saktong nakatingin lang din siya sa akin. Hindi siya umiimik. I can't read his eyes. Kumuha siya ng tissue at pinunasan ang bibig niya.


"Excuse me," Tumayo siya at umalis. I just followed him with my gaze hanggang sa tuluyan na siyang makalabas ng resto.
