CHAPTER VIII
ZEE’s POV:
Right after talking to Tris, I gave Fire a ring. I need to seek help. Kailangan may magawa din ako to get over Tris’ ex boyfriend. Mahal ko ang bestfriend ko. I know how tough she is and it takes sure lot of pain to make her cry. She’s just fragile just as I am. Thing is, we’re just good on concealing. She taught me how to be strong. She’s like the sister I never had. I never want anything nor anyone to hurt her.. It’s like hurting me as well. After 7 rings, Fire answered. Nakakapanibago, kasi dati di na umaabot sa 3 rings bago pa nya masagot. I wonder what took him long.
“Hey babe.” he spoke.
“Uhm, hi. ‘Zup?”
“I’m sorry I took time to answer and sorry again kasi hindi ako makakatagal. Dad needs me to help him entertain visitors. Dumating yung mga investor sa company and it seems like they have serious matters to talk to. So as much as I wanted to keep our conversation long, I can’t. I’m really sor--”
“No, no. I understand. I know it’s a lot important. I just called to ask help for my plan against Lance and his friends. You know I won’t let them get away just like that. Not too fast..”
“If that’s the case. Then I’ll ask Prim to help you out.”
“Ohhhh.. okay! Go ahead na babe. Baka hinihintay ka na nila.” napaisip naman ako kaagad. Pano naman ako matutulungan ni Prim? Eh hindi nga ako tinatapunan ng pansin nun eh. Kahit siguro pagpaplano, di sya makakatulong. Paano? Eh puro ‘hayst’ lang naman kayang sabihin nun. Akala ko nung in-add nya ako sa Facebook, friends na talaga kami. Pero parang bula lang ako sa kanya lagi. Minsan tuloy naiisip ko, siguro ayaw nya ako para sa bestfriend nya. Bahala sya! Basta in love kami ni Fire, mamatay sya sa kasungitan!
“Sorry talaga babe ha? Sige na, I have to go. I love you.”
“I love you too.. Bye.”
I prepared myself to bed and was fast asleep. The day after, I woke up feeling good.
PRIM’s POV:
I’ve been standing for 3 hours now. Waiting for this girl to wake up. Oh god, how can she sleep too long. It’s already 12 nn and I’m losing my temper. Kanina ko pa sya ginigising pero parang walang pakiramdam. Tulog mantika.
“Hayyyy, good Lord. That was a nice sleep.” she said, yawning, still in bed.
“Hayst. You sleep like a log.” at last, she woke up.
“Ano ba yan. Nananaginip pa ata ako. Parang kaboses ni.. monsteriffic.” tinapik tapik pa nya pisngi nya. “Magkaboses? Pano ko malalaman? Eh hindi naman ako iniimikan nun. O nagsasalita ba yun? Tsaka boyfriend ko lang naman kinakausap nun. Hahaha! Grabe talaga.” she added and closed her eyes. I smiled intently. How weird can she get. She thought ‘twas as dream.
Sure enough, she’s pertaining to me. “Monsteriffic, huh?” I voiced out. Napabigwas sya at napaupo sa kama. She saw me. I managed to act cool.
“HAHAHAHA! AKALAIN MO NGA NAMAN! Grabe! Bat parang nananaginip pa din ako?” tumayo sya at lumapit sakin. Tinapik tapik nya ang mukha ko.
“What the?!”
“Hahaha! Kamukha mo yung monsteriffic na bestfriend ng boyfriend ko.” she really has the nerve to call me that stupid name. I smiled. I’m really annoyed now but I must say, she looks good on her just-woke-up hair. I smiled at the thought. “Mas gwapo ka nga lang. Ikaw kasi ngumingiti. Si monteriffic, ohhhhh. Scaryyyyyy!”
