"Ewan ko ba kung pinaglalaruan ako ng tadhana o ano!" I hissed. Padabog kong ininom ang iced tea na inorder ni Kelly. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa cafeteria dahil lunch na at tinatamad magluto si Ashanti.
"Favor pa nga 'yan sa'yo, 'no! He's your crush, remember?" Umirap ako dahil sa sinabi ni Kelly.
Crush? Psh, oo.
"But that doesn't mean na paglaruan niya ang feelings ko. Ugh, magm-move on na dapat ako tapos—"
"Tapos ano?" Celeste cut me off. Lumingon kaming tatlo sa kaniya samantalang prente siyang umupo sa upuan sa harap ko, katabi si Ashanti.

CELESTE"Do you think tama ang ginawa ko?" pangungulit ni Clio. Humarap ako sa kaniya bago tinapik ang kaniyang balikat."Ayos nga lang, okay? Chill," I assured her. Bumuntong hininga siya at napalabi."Bakit ba kasi hindi tumulad sa'yo si Jarvis? Napakakulit!" she whined. Napailing naman ako at bahagyang tumawa."Parehas kayo." Sinamaan niya ako ng tingin habang nagpatuloy naman ako sa pagbabasa. Nasa coffee shop kami sa labas ng Avalon para mag-aral dahil hindi raw makapag-focus si Clio sa library. May long test kasi kami bukas kaya't naisipan naming lumabas para mag-aral. "Ang astig niyo nga pala kanina ni Markus sa debate ah?" Napangiti naman ako at tumango."He's smart," pag-puri ko.

CELESTE"Where is... it?" I mumbled as I scan the bookshelf. I volunteered a while ago para hanapin 'yung librong gagamitin ni Ashanti para sa quiz bee niya. She's too busy kaya ako na ang nagpresinta na pumunta sa library at maghanap."Anong hinahanap mo?"Nag-angat ako ng tingin at nakita si Markus na may dalang tatlong libro."The History of the Ancient World," sagot ko.

ASHANTI"Himala," I remarked. Natawa naman si Celeste na halatang kanina pa gising. Bihis na siya at nakapag-handa na rin ng pagkain."Celeste prepared this for you, Ashanti," sabi ni Clio na may dalang iced coffee. Napangiti naman ako at tinanggap iyon."Siguraduhin mong mananalo ka ha," biro naman ni Kelly at umupo sa tabi ko.Psh, ako pa? History is just a piece of cake."Ewan," sagot ko lamang. Napailing naman sila kaya lihim akong napangiti.Tinikman ko naman ang iced coffee na tinimpla ni Clio. Napatango na lamang ako kahit na hindi naman ganoon ang lasa ng inii

ASHANTI"I warned you before to stop drinking coffee, right? Look at what have happened... Ugh! Hindi ka kasi nag-iingat," Celeste nagged.I just gave her a simple nod as a sign of defeat. She's right though, it's my fault."Teka nga, ilang baso ba ng kape ang nainom mo, Ashanti?" tanong ni Clio. My brows furrowed as I tried to remember."Two," I replied."Isn't it weird?" Bumaling ang tingin namin kay Kelly na prenteng nakaupo at umiinom ng... kape."Anong weird?" Celeste asked Kelly."Dati naman umaabot pa ng apat na baso ng kape si Ashanti pero hindi naman siya nagpapalpitate— sino nga bang katabi mo, Ashanti?" Her pupils dilated as if she figured out something."Si Courtney." Awe transformed her face. My brows arched an inch while looking at her."Hindi kaya may inilagay si Courtney sa kap

CELESTE"Jarvis Callum, ibalik mo sabi 'yan!" I yelled before I ran to chase Jarvis."Sabihin mo muna, 'Please, Jarvis'!" utos niya at iwinagayway ang salamin ko. Napasigaw naman akong muli nang muntikan iyong mahulog."Please, Jarvis!""Ay, hindi sincere! Gusto ko, 'Pleeeease, Jarvis!" I gave him a bitchy glare which made him laughed. I sighed."Fine! Pleeeease, Jarvis!" pagsuko ko.Ilang beses siyang umiling at lumapit sa akin. "'Yan ang dapat, Louisse!" saad niya at iniabot sa akin ang salamin ko.I sighed once again and wiped my glasses. "Anong trip mo, ha?""Wala si Clio, eh." He shrugged his shoulders and sat on the couch."Kaya ako ang pinepeste mo?"He clutched his chest acting like he's hurt. "Grabe ka naman! Peste talaga?"Ilang beses naman akong tumango. He po

CELESTE"Why are you so grumpy?"I heaved a sigh before shaking my head to Clio. "Wala lang."She sat beside me and crossed her arms. "Kahapon ka pa tahimik. Are you sure you're alright?""Don't worry, I'm fine," I lied."Fine. If you don't want to share your problem right now, tell it to me some other time. I'm always willing to listen, okie?" I smiled at her and gave her a continous nod."Uy! Anong meron?" tanong ng bagong dating na si Jarvis.May dala siyang plastic na may softdrinks at iniabot niya ito sa amin ni Clio."Sabi ko, bumili ka lang. Bakit inabot ka ng trenta minutos, ha?" Clio nagged at him."Hinarang kasi ako sa daan noong mga babae, nagpatulong lang naman." Jarvis answered and scratched the back of h

CELESTE"Ano ba kasing ginagawa natin dito, Louisse? Ang init-init," reklamo ni Jarvis sa tabi ko.Bumaling ako sa kaniya at sinamaan siya ng tingin. "Can you please stop complaining?" angil ko.He pouted before crossing his arms. "Bakit ba kasi tayo nandito? May okasyon ba?""Jarvis, hindi porque walang okasyon, hindi na natin pupuntahan si Dad. Kailangan natin siyang bisitahin, okay?""Bakit ngayon pa? Magrereview kami Clio," reklamo pa niya.I sighed. "Stop using Clio as an excuse, Jarvis Callum. Tumahimik ka na nga lamang!" iritable kong sabi at muling bumaling ng tingin kay Dad."Dad, how are you? Are you doing alright?"I bit my lower lip when no one answered me. "I hope you're doing well," I mumbled."Louisse, there's no point o

ASHANTIWhat is a dream?Is it really necessary for a person to have a dream?What if I don't have one? Am I not normal?I bit my lower lip as I massaged my temples out of dissapointment. It's been an hour since I started to write my essay for my English subject but up until now, the paper is still blank.I sighed. Why is it so hard?"Why do you look so grumpy?" I lazily looked at Celeste when she arrived together with our friends.Umupo si Celeste sa tabi ko samantalang kaharap naman namin sina Clio at Kelly."'Yan ba 'yung essay sa English?" Kelly tried to pry on my paper but she gave me a dissapointed look when she saw nothing on it.
