Everyone's is busy for the coming intramurals, for the program, for their sports to chose and to play, My bestfriends, I dont know with them what's their plans.

Mira know how to play cheese, Belle wants to enter the volleyball team, Bev she can go for Miss Intramurals or she can go to cooking show, me, I guess I can wait for them or cheer for them, I'm tired being the Miss Intramurals representative I guess, others can try as well. Pwede ring sa nga booth nalang ako.

"Ikaw, Eunisa, I think you should join Miss Intrams, dagdag class points na rin sa atin pag nanalo ka"

Lira said, one of my close friend here in our section.

"Oo nga, para lumaki na yong grades ko I bet this competition would do good for my grades, sasali na rin ako sa volleyball, so that we can earn silver"

Mona added, while looking around.

"Hindi ko din alam, I guess others can try, Jenny can do, she's persistent also about it" 

I said at napalingon kami sa direction ni Jenny na kausap niya si Dom. 

"You know what, Jenny likes Arnello, I heard she dm him and ask yesterday to meet her" 

Sabi ni Mona sabay lahad kung saan niya nakuha ang ganyang news. 

Jenny is a pretty woman, she's matured too, I'm pretty too and sexy, I can pass to the beauty queen but compared to her she's more pro in boys and in bed 

"She's good at it, I heard she had a make out session with Ivan" 

Lira dropped it, I don't know how they know these kind of news. 

Ivan is known and popular about his girls but he's kind also, mabait at approachable pa. 

Kaya lumapit pa kami kay Lira, I pulled my chair and we went closer to Lira to gossip para walang makakairinig sa usapan namin, since wala namang teacher dahil busy sa prepration for the coming intramurals. 

"Saan mo yan napulot?" 

Ako nga na kaibigan ako ni Mira na kaibigan niya si Ivan don't know this issue. 

"Di nga?" 

bulong ko kaya she point her hand like to come closer to her, so we did even ang lapit na nang mukha namin sa mukha niya. 

"Meron din siyang video, you know like a couple of fubu did, I just heard it in the comfort room" 

"Really?" 

We both looked shocked to Lira's chika. Kaya napatingin kami sa kanila at bumalik sa dating upuuan. 

Napahiyaw kami nang may sumundot sa aming baywang. 

"Gago ka ba" 

"Nakagulat to, gago to" 

"ay halimaw" 

Sabay naming hiyaw naming tatlo at lahat ay nakatingin na sa amin. 

Sino bang hindi magugulat nagchichismis kami dito tapos may mangugulat, akala ko nahuli na kami. 

We touch our heart, baka magkakaheart attack. 

Sila lang pala ni Zeus, Zeus's group, the gamer, mga mahilig lumiban sa kaklase at patagong pupunta sa computer lab or sa labas ng school. 

"Problema niyong gago kayo" 

Lira wanted to punch them for making us startled, habang si Mona ay kinuha ang ballpen niya habang inaimagine na sinusundot sundot sila. 

Umupo sila Zeus, Jason, Mark, and Fin sa tabi namin. 

"Nagchichismis na naman kayo sa?" 

Jason said while moving closer to us. 

"Ali may chika ako, may multo, kababalaghan sa computer lab" 

Mark said while pulling our chairs close to them, Zeus, Jason and fin ay tumawa lang habang imitating Mark's voice . 

Hindi ko alam if nagbibiro lang sila or may chika talaga, dahil multo naman ang ichichika nila kaya seryoso kaming naghihintay sa sasabihin nila. 

"Wag ka kasing kayong tumawa" 

Nagagalit na sabi ni Lira nang hindi pa nila na sinimulan yung story nila pero tumatawa na. 

gago talaga, tawa muna bago storya. 

"eto na sure na" 

Saad ni Mark, I don't know if they really were talking about ghost or wala lang silang ginawa kundi lokohin kami. 

Napalingon kami nang bitbit na ni Arellano yung chair niya papunta sa amin. 

"Nice, nandito na naman si Arellano, maganda to" 

biro ni Zeus habang hinintay na si Arellano. 

He put his chair beside me while I raise my browse, dikit ng dikit eh. 

"Ano yan" 

Arellano said while roaming his eyes around these three boys. 

"Arellano, may chika kami, multo ay hindi kababalaghan" 

"pucha, pareho lang yon" 

Sabi ni Fin sabay batok ni Mark

"Umalis na nga kayo, naiirita na ako, matatapos nalang yong oras pero hindi niyo pa nasimulan yung story niyo" 

Galit na galit na sabi ni Lira. 

"Hey, chillax, Miss Walang Pasensya, at tayo'y magsisimula sa unang storya ni Mark The Talker Gamer" 

Natawa ako dahil sa nga pinagsasabi, I bet for sure ngayong desididong na and the way they laugh seems so fishy , I bet he's talking shits, I can get it now.

While these boys trying to surpress their laughs. 

"What's funny?" 

Arellano whispered while looking at me. 

"Manahimik ka nalang, makinig ka nalang" 

Sabi ko habang ang atensyon ay nasa tatlong lalaki na nagsisimula nang magsalita. 

I felt a hands in my lap searching for my hands. My hands are inside my skirt pockets 

"Bigay mo kamay mo" 

"Ano na naman?"

Pagalit kung sabi dahil pupunta lang dito para magdisturbo.

"Ang arte, wala may magic"

Titig na sabi, at may halong iritasyon sa mata kaya pumutok na naman ang buchi ko.

"Wala akong paki sa magic, problema-

Naputol ang sasabihin ko nang sumigaw na din si Mark. 

" Sige hindi ko na itutuloy, mag-aaway nalang kayo! "

Kaya napalingon ako sa kanila na titig na din sa amin habang si Lira ay gusto nang sumabog, basta chismis talaga. 

"Sige, simulan na, mananahimik na po" 

Malumay kung sabi pasimpleng sabay bigay sa kamay ko kay Arellano. 

Talo na naman. 

"eto, na, diba naglalaro kami, tapos, kaming kaming apat ganoon trashtalk nang trashtalk" 

Pasimple kung kinurot ang kamay ni Arellano when he intertwined our hands, 

hindi nato gawain nang mag bestfriends ha. 

"tapos, may umiyak!" 

"tapos tumawa" 

"tapos naging malumay ang iyak" 

oang sigaw ni Mark, pero yong tatlo nagpipigil lang tumawa.

"Ano ba talaga! umiiyak? tumatawa o malumay ang iyak baka hindi yan muto, baka baliw yan!" 

Sigaw ni Lira. 

Jason just hush them and let Mark continue his story telling. 

Ngayon focus na focus na sa anong maisasalawat ni Mark na multo o kababalaghan. 

"Don't listen to them, that's spg, their not talking about multo their talking about kababalaghan" 

Arellano murmured, I know but still I remained my attention to them. 

Parang tanga to. 

"tapos, ano" 

Mona complained to continue the story fast. 

"Wag mong tagalan Mark, tangina!" 

Lutong na mura ni Lira kay Mark. 

"Ayon, pag tingin namin sa sofa, may multo, may dalawang multo, nag-aano" 

"Anong nangyari sa multo? Anong ano-ano? " 

Tanong ni Mona na naguguluhan, ano naman ang gagawin nang multo kundi manakot ng tao. 

Nang marealize ni Lira na hindi multo ang pinag-uusapan kundi mga kababalaghan ng mga studyante. 

Natawa ako dahil he give Zeus's group a punch, at yon tawang tawa ang apat na lalaki, at ngayong lang din na realize ni Mona na hindi multo yong pinag-usapan ay tumayo na at sinampal bawat isa, kaya ayon humiyaw sa sakit. 

"Hindi mo kami sasampalin o susuntukin?" 

Gulat na sabi ni Zeus sa akin, may gagawa na niyan para sa akin. 

"Bakit gusto niyo?" 

Napabangon na sabi Arellano kaya tumayo na sila Zeus na natatakot. 

"Ito talaga si Arellano di na mabiro, hali na kayo baka tayo pa makakita ng multo dito" 

Before they could vanished they stopped at lumingon na. 

"Walang klase, di ba?" 

Pangconfirmang sabi nang apat. 

"Wala, pero may attendance" 

We said while pointing our lips to the secretary, tsk, I know magagawa nila nang paraan yan. 

Dominique were busy holding my hands, while our attention went back with Lira. 

Siya lang naman madalas magsabi nang mga kuwento at chika. 

"Since nandito na si Arellano, why won't we ask him to confirm if it us true or not" 

She pulled her chair to come closer to us, kaya I pulled my chair para makalapit narin. 

"Hoy, Arellano, gumising ka, may itatanong kami" 

"Bitawan mo kamay mo Eun-

Hindi natapos ang sasabihin ni Mona nang bumagon na si Arellano. 

He lazily sits his chair waiting for Lira's question while still holding my hands, I tried to pull my hands but everytime I did it he only hold it firm and strong. 

Sometimes I wonder is this the hold of a bestfriend? a boyfriend? or a brother hold?

"We heard that Jenny dm you" 

"Yes, what about it" 

Napahikab niyang sabi as if hindi importante, why did he get laid? who got him first? that words break my heart, my little Dominique is not a innocent anymore, tasting for the first time means then tasting another women to know the difference of it and imagining him with women broke my heart but pinasantabi ko yon. 

You said you won't be greed of him, na kaya mo siyang bitawan... 

"What's the text about?" 

Kuryusong tanong ni Lira at Mona. 

"I guess that's private, I can't share, what's on you mind is right. I don't want to elaborate since this my little bestfriend, I don't want her to exposed something like that" 

best-bestfriend... 

You confirmed it on your own mouth. 

I don't know if girls knew that I have feelings for him, I feel like alam nila dahil babae rin sila, alam nila yung pakiramdam. They don't have to ask dahil kita rin at pansin din nila dahil ganoon din sila magmahal. 

"You don't want to exposed Eunisa in that kind of thing, what if she knew better than that, she's experienced than that" 

Lira communicate her stares through my eyes like she's challenging him, I'm virgin and always be unless for him. 

He got my first kiss when I was young, he only the one I hugged, the one I sleep in his shoulder, sa lahat ng bagay sa kanya. 

Is there a day na sa iba ko maibibigay? Na hindi na sa kanya umiikot yung mundo ko pero sa iba na. 

"What's your point" 

Dominique looks so serious now while leaning his head closer to Lira and now having a serious tone at ang atensyon wala na sa kamay ko kundi sa kaibigan ko. 

"I saw Eunisa and Ivan talk outside" 

That's was after three days noon naming mag-away. 

Ivan went to me and ask for Mira's whereabouts, and talked about it and I confirmed that something was off between them. 

Arellano had training that time that we didn't went home together. 

"They talked outside, so that's means they only talk something don't put meaning to that normal thing" 

May halong galit narin we know Ivan, he's a bed fucker addict and women don't compain about it since he got also everything, money, wealth, power, and the looks and body to be proud of. 

"They went to hotel" 

Kaya napabangon na diin ako, wala namang ganoon. 

Before I could complain about it, Lira and Mona just just kicked my feet to ride in. 

Wala na akong magawa dahil gusto ko ring malamang yung reaction niya. 

He's that protective over me, over my father who didn't warn me about boys, about that thing not even my mother atleast to advice to never do that thing.

It feels like he didn't want to continue anymore, at may galit na rin kinokontrol lang, the way his vienz shown I know magagalit talaga to.

"Is that true Sanchez?" 

Galit na sabi na niya habang pinakawalan ang aking kamay. 

Ang oa talagang magreact. 

Before it looks so soft holding me  and right now ay nakita namin kung paano kumuyom yung kamay niya at natakot na rin sina Mona at Lira sa pinapakitang emosyon. 

He's like that, He's protective more than my father more than anything else. 

He moved roughly the chair while trying to open his upper first button shirt, kaya nagulantang sila Lira and Mona dahil napalakas yata yong upuan niya. 

Everyone know how Ivan works, and I know that Dominique know better cause he also a man, they talked shits together, boys to boys.

"Better don't do something or else you know me" 

He angrily said to me and left us there, walang lingon.

"Hindi mo ba yon hahabulin?" 

Natatakot na sabi nila. 

"Pabayaan niyo na, Mawawala din yong galit niya." 

"Baka, pun-puntahan niya si Ivan? eh, joke lamang yong hotel eh" 

Parang naiyak na sabi ni Lira

Kaya ayan ginagalit niyo eh. 

"That's his problem to solve" 

Walang gana kung sabi sabay lingon sa teacher na paparating, baka magmemeeting for intramurals sa classroom.
