Novel & Cerita Our Friends

"Mahal din kita, Cora. Salamat dahil palagi kang nandiyan para sa akin." "That's what friends are for."

"Am I correct?" Hindi ulit siya nakasagot. How is she going to tell her friends that it's not really a relationship? That it's just a friends with benefits type of hook-up? Baka kasi bigla siyang sabunutan ng mga ito. They don't know her as the wild type of girl. But she has to tell them one way or another. She doesn't want to keep them in the dark. "Actually," nakangiwing panimula niya. The attention of her two friends are both pinned on her. Belinda nodded encouragingly while Kylie's eyes were wide with curiousity. "Uhm? How do I put this? it was uhmm.."

Bulong ko sa sarili. “We’re like childhood friends, right?” Bahagya siyang tumawa. Mukhang narinig pa ang sinabi ko. “Why? All this time, you don’t consider me a friend?” “As if you consider me like that. And no. We are not childhood friends.” Magkakilala lang siguro pero hindi friends. Palagi nga niya akong inaaway noon tapos sasabihin niyang friends kami? “Childhood sweethearts, then?”

They’ve been friends since high school and some went to the same college. It’s a chaotic circle but bearable. Considering they are good friends who’ll have your back when you’re down and kick your ass to the right path when you’re not. "Happy?" inis na sabi ni Nickos sa mga kaibigan na mukang masayang masaya sa ka-miserablehan niya. Nailing nalang doon si Matteo at nagpatuloy lang sa pag inom habang nakangising pinanonood ang kaibigan. Napapangitan at natatawa siya sa itsura nito ngayon.

May bahid ng kaunting ngiti sa kanyang labi pero nanatiling seryoso ang ipinapakitang reaksyon. "We're... uhm..." my frown deepened and I was so unsure of what to say next pero pinili ko na lang na... "just friends." I'm sure as hell we aren't. Kakakilala lang namin. But since we're already sharing a meal, it wouldn't hurt to answer it with that, right? Yeah. We're... kind of friends. Aren't we? I know that we already shared a moment. He lent me his handkerchief when I needed it and stayed by my side even though didn't need to. And that's basically the definition of a friendship right?

Natigilan ito ng kaunti pero agad ding nagsalita. "Simple! Pupunta tayong lahat sa bahay na tinutuluyan mo. Kasi... Kasi naandoon ang mga iba pang kaibigan ko! Yes! That's right." Kaibigan? Meaning sila Hiroshi, Braxton at kiel? Hindi ko alam na mag kakaibigan pala ang mga ito. "You mean sila kiel?" Singit ni Dianna samin. "Yes, they are actually my friends."

May pagkakaiba man kaming tatlo pagdating sa pag-uugali at paniniwala sa buhay, ang importante ay totoo kami sa isa't isa. We’d been friends since we were kids, way back in grade school. I don’t even remember how it started, really. Maybe it was just that unspoken connection people get when they realize they’re all at the top of the food chain. Beauty. Confidence. Presence. People called us The Three G’s, short for Gorgeous. And let’s be honest… They weren’t wrong.

R18 I sigh frustratedly. "Get me another bottle of water!" I demanded as I handed him my card. He smiled then stood up leaving my card behind. He jogged back to me and handed me the water bottle. "Ito sky! Hehehe friends na ba tayo?" he innocently asked "No! I hate friendship!" I immediately turn him down. I really hate betrayals. "Uy! Sige na. Sige more than friends nalang." I glared at him then kick his leg.

wika niya sabay hagikgik dahil naalala niya ang sumpaan nila ni GB nu'ng mga musmos pa lang sila. Promise, wala akong magiging ibang bespren kundi ikaw lang! sabay pa nilang sasabihin ni GB ang mga salitang iyon dahil pakiramdam sila ay mas effective kung magkasabay nilang sasambitin ang mga salitang iyon. "More than friends na tayo ngayon," mariing sabi ni GB sa kanya.
