Prince POV
James did all the talkings, Raphael seems serious while his dude is talking, as for my bestfriend naka tingin lang sya sa mga koko nya minsan kay James. It's obvious that she really wants to go but she's got no choice, I was even surprised nong tinanggap nya ang kamay ni James. Simula naba ito?
"Is it okay with you? If we have free time, or even after class we can go and find some stage decorator and a band." JD asked, he looked at us one by one.
"Fine with me since same naman tayo ng sched, 'bout you Alvarez?" Raphael and JD then turned to me.
"Okay lang din, I have the same free time as yours" And then we all turned to Rafielle. Ayoko mag salita, I want JD to ask her nyahaha! I eyed Raphael and signaled him to hush.
"Ikaw Raf?" JD asked.
Nagkatinginan kami ni Raphael at sabay patagong ngumisi, peste mukhang makakasundo ko 'tong gagong 'to sa plano namin ni Rossy ah.
"I dont know, hindi tayo same ng vacant time." walang gana nyang sagot kay JD. But JD seems not bothered with it.
"when's your vacant ba? i think we can all adjust naman" JD still asked her politely. My dear bestfriend, umayos ka wag kang umatittude jan!
"Friday" she answered again and looked at James with so much coldness in her eyes.
"Oh"
"Bro, how about after training?" I suggested.
"Okay lang din"- Raphael
"I'm cool with it, what about you Raf?" once again, James asked Rafielle.
"Tingnan ko, nakakapagod na kasi lumakad after ng training and I still have to cook for Prince and myself-"
"WHAT?!"
Rafielle was cut off with James and Raphael's OA reactions.
"Okay ang oa ninyo" diretsong sabi ni Rafielle, she even rolled her eyes.
"Are you guys..." pinaningkitan kami ng mata ni Raphael
"fckboy, tell them" Raf said, parang sumusuko na sa takbo ng pag uusap namin.
"We live together but we are not together. Gets?" I shortly explained. Yun naman talaga ah!
"And youre parents are okay with it?" JD asked, shet ang seryuso nya na nag tanong.
"Sila pa nga bumili ng condo para sa amin eh" bali walang sagot ni Raf.
Raphael and James leaned back on their seats after I explained. Tumikhim si James bago nag salita ulit.
"k so, are you okay kung kami nalang tatlo ang lalakad then you'll just stay sa condo nyo?"- JD
"yeah just cook for us Raf" sabi ko, gulat namang napatingin si Raf sakin, she gave me her 'are you freakin serious' look.
"We'll be back after we find someone who can help us with this, hindi mo naman siguro kami hahayaang magutom diba?" i said and gave her my paawa look. umepekto sana.
"pwede namang sa labas kumain ah" angal nya.
"Prince, it's okay" awat ni James.
Sensya ka na bro, I'm not going to loose to Raf this time, para sa future nyo 'to!
"Ang gastos Raf"
"Malaki naman allowance mo ah"
"I already texted tita and mommy about this" pagsisinungaling ko.
"seriously? that fast?"
I just nodded and smiled, I'm winning guys!
"Okay, just tell me kailan kayo aalis so that I can buy some ingredients" she agreed calmly now. calm... why is it that I'm nervous.
"Talaga Raf?" excited na tanong ni Raphael.
"Yeah, kahit yun man lang maitulong ko since di ko pa alam kailan ako makakasama sa inyo"
"Nice!" masayang sabi ni Raphael while JD on the other hand..
"Raf, if you dont like Prince idea, just forget about it, tutal tama ka naman. We can just eat out." nag aalinlangang sabi ni JD, too bad Raf won't fall for that anymore dude, inaway mo kasi eh.
"I already said its okay" sungit nyang sagot, JD seemed to notice it, I heard him gulped.
After the meeting, Raf left us kasi tinawag sya ng TC nya.
"Is she like that Prince?" biglang tanong ni JD sakin habang naka tingin kay Rafielle na nakikipag usap sa TC nya.
"Like what?"
"Cold and sarcastic" he said then turned to me. Mataman ko syang tiningnan bago ngumiti.
"Yes and no bro"
"What do you mean?" lito nyang tanong.
"Her being sarcastic and sometimes bored is part of her personality. But the coldness? nope, she's sarcastic but never cold to anyone. Until someone made her think she's useless, ayun medyo nag iba sya slight."
"Her ex?" curious nyang tanong. Oh God, di nya talaga maalala si Raf
"Mas okay sana kung ex nya kaso hindi eh, it's someone whom she idolized" maka hulugan kong sabi. Kita kung kumunot ang noo nya.
James was about to ask again but Raf was coming towards us.
"Nagpa alam ako kay Terrence, kung maghahanap na kayo bukas, I can come" she said the moment she reached us.
"Great, I'll just dm you tomorrow, follow kita sa IG, ano usn mo?" patay malisyang tanong ni James, naubo naman si Raphael na kakarating lang at may bitbit na gatorade, and then I turned to Raf na mukhang isang tanong nalang ni James ng usn nya sa IG ay mawawalan na ng ulirat
"W-wag na sa IG" utal nyang sabi.
"Sorry, I dont usually use messenger kasi naka deact ako" patay malisya paring paliwanag ni James.
Tiningnan ako ni Raf, yung tingin na nanghihingi ng tulong. Ewan ko kung matatawa ba ako o maaawa sa kanya this time. I mean, pabor na pabor 'to sa plano namin ni Rossy, but at the same time kawawa si Raf. I know she's still hurt about what happen but what can I do? tadhana na naglalapit sa kanila.
"Ano kasi.. h-hindi ako active don"
"di rin kasi ako gumagamit ng ibang communication app aside sa IG, messenger sana, kaso ang bulabog eh"
"Sabihan mo nalang si Prince if ever may plano kayo" mabilis nyang suggest. I smirk and remembered what she told me the other day. Hanggat kaya nya, iiwas sya. Fine then, we'll see kung hanggang saan ang kaya mong itakbo Rafielle.
