"Huyyy!!!"

"Ano na naman? Jusko pwede bang tigilan mo muna ako?" Reklamo ng isa kong katrabaho.

"Wow, ang aga aga naman nagsusungit ka 'na naman"

"Oo nga, dapat good vibes lang. Tsaka dadating yung mentor nung mga bata, kailangan 'in peace' tayo" Sagot ko.

Nagtawanan silang lahat sa office.

"O bakit? Totoo naman diba?" I said while putting my brown coat on.

"Baka nga ikaw pa unang magalit dyan" Arie muttered.

"Tsaka nga pala, sino yung mentor? Araw-araw ba sya dito? Anong name?"

"Eto, tignan mong mabuti ha?" Ms. Rye handed me a couple of papers stapled together.

I saw the list and the names of other professors and mentors etc;

Kumunot ang noo ko nung mabasa ko yung pangalan nya.

Professor/Adviser

Mentor

"Can someone explain this to me?"

I showed them the paper.

"Oh see? I thought good vibes?"

"So, all of you...so alam nyo 'tong lahat ng toh? And you didn't even cared to tell me! That's so disrespectful!" I slammed the paper at the table.

"Hoy, akala ko ba naka-move on ka na?" Devin asked.

"Shut up"

I walked out the office, baka kasi mapuno ako.

No one told me na sya pala yung magiging mentor nang mga students.

Fvck. So I will see her again? And everyday?

Magkasunod pa nga kami.

"Excuse me? Hi! Can I take a picture of you? Ang pogi mo lang kasi?"

"Hi! Ahh, babae po ako!" Sagot ko habang natatawang nakatingin kay Tricia.

"I know! You're just damn attractive" The girl smiled.

Gurl, save me.

"Ah, meron na po akong jowa, sorry po hehe aalis na po kami" Sabay hila ko kay Tricia papaalis.

"Bakit di 'mo ko niligtas? Ano ka ba!"

"Ha? Dagdag angas daw kapag niligtas mo sarili mo" Barumbadong sagot ni Tricia.

Hindi ako umimik at hinayaan nalang sya.

"Oh sya, diretso tayo sa condominium ko ha?"

"Huh? Bakit?"

"May.."

"May?"

"May pag-uusapan lang tayo, importante kasi" Sabi nya sabay tawa.

"Hala? Anong nangyari? May problema ba?"

"Wala, wala"

Dumating kami sa condominium nila, may important chores daw si Tita, Ate Aiks and Jill kaya dalawa lang kami sa bahay.

"Mauna ka na, ipa-park ko lang tong kotse"

"Sige, basta umakyat ka ha?"

Tumango ako at nag-park na ng kotse. Hindi ko masyadong inisip kung ano yung problema.

Alam ko namang, mahal namin ang isa't isa...bilang mabuting kaibigan.

For years of being friends, naging malapit na kami sa isa't isa.

"Rocco, sit"

Umupo si Rocco, aba syempre.

"Good boy!!" Tuwang sabi ko.

Lumapit si Tricia saakin at binigyan ako ng coke.

"Huy, masamang maraming coke ha?" Pagpapa-alala ko sa kanya.

"Minsan lang yan..." Sabi nya sabay tingin sa bintana.

And that's when I knew that there's something up...

I tried to ignore it.

I've been telling Rocco some tricks but Tricia was just sitting in the sofa, looking at us.

"Pst, selos ka kay Rocco?" I teased her.

"Mas pipiliin ko pa si Rocco kesa sayo"

"Aray" Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko at umaktong nasasaktan.

"Halika nga" Tumayo ako sa kinauupuan ko at lumapit sa kanya.

Umiwas sya ng tingin saakin.

"Hey, look at me, this isn't you" I teased her more.

She looked at me with an expression I can't explain.

I hugged her and placed my face on her neck.

She pushed me away from her.

I was shocked by her actions. Was she uncomfortable? Since when did she became uncomfortable with me?

"Hey, what's wrong?" I kneeled in front of her.

"What..."

"What? What...ano?"

"What..what are we?"
