"order na daw kayo, treat ni Luis!" sigaw ni Matthew.

Lahat sila ay napatingin kay Kuya Luis. "Totoo ba? Ikaw ang pangalawa sa pinaka kuripot, pang una si Vincent, pangatlo si Sandro?" gulat na tanong ni Kuya Michael.

"Hey! medyo masakit ah, i am not kuripot" sagot naman ni Kuya Luis.

Should I volunteer na i'll pay nalang? ahhh! thank you na den toh para sa pag alaga nila saakin, lalo na si Sandro.

"U-Uh guys, can I pay?" I asked.

all of them looked at me. "D-Dala ko naman wallet ko, i can pay!" inilabas ko ang credit card ko sa wallet at ipinakita sakanila.

"Yay! Libre-"

"I'll pay, Athena." putol ni Sandro kay Matthew.

"No ako na, thank you na den toh dahil sinama nyo 'ko dito." I said.

"I said No. I'll pay, wag ka na mag salita." medyo pasigaw nyang sagot saakin. Galit ba tong maliit na toh? ano problema mo. Inirapan ko s'ya at tumingin sa labas kung nasan ang mga mag jowa na nag lalandian.

"Edi sana pina-bill board nyo." Bulong ko.

"If stares can kill, you probably killed them already. Even Kuya" bulong ni Vinny saakin dahilan para matawa ako.

"Pag naging multo ako, kuya mo uunahin kong hilahin ang paa." I answered.

I looked at Sandro and he's smiling at his phone. Edi wow! sino ba may sabi na nag seselos ako? aanuhin ko naman sya? pakielam ko sa red flag na 'yun. Madami pang lalaki d'yan, madami pa ako pwedeng mahalin. Hindi sya..

Hindi kami bagay..

Hindi nya ako gusto...

"M-May checheck lang ako, Vinny. Balik ako ah" Bulong ko at tumango naman at tumayo para makadaan ako. Parang wala yata si Simon? Diba kapatid nila yon?

Naglakad lakad ako at ibinilin nalang kay Vinny na tawagan ako para makabalik ako kapag na serve na ang foods. I can't survive another minute with Sandro already since it's so awkward.

I grabbed my phone and decided to call Ino's yaya on how he is since I'm a bit worried. [Hi Ate, how's alfonsino?]

[Good Afternoon po, Ma'am. Maayos na po ang lagay ni Ino, nakatulog nga po kasi inaantok pa daw po sya. Asan po pala kayo? nag aalala na po sola Ma'am at sir para sayo]

"Uh... I'm with my friends po." I replied. Di ko naman masabi na kasama ko sila Sandro kasi alam nila is kasama ko si Elliana sa Antipolo ngayon.

[Ah ganoon ba. Enjoy ka po dyan Ma'am! Oh siya, gagawan ko lang po ng cookies si Ino para pag kagising nya po mamaya..]

"Okay po. Bye" I ended the call amd went inside the book store to explore. My eyes lit up when I saw a familiar book from the shelf, the way to wonderland. It was my favorite when I was young, I had collections of them when I was in London. I looked at the price and I almost cursed when I saw it was 4 hella digits! I have money but I won't buy a book that's worth this much and besides I couldn't read any much books like this because of my readings in school.

I looked into my wallet to check If i still have cash. Surprisingly, yes.

Bente pesos.
