"Lian, may susuotin ka na para sa Christmas Party?" tanong ni Tamara habang nakatingin sa hawak niyang magazine. It's the November issue of a fashion magazine. She's looking at best Halloween costumes for a party.
I leaned back on the swivel chair and turned it around to face her. "Wala pa. Do we really need to attend?"
Every year, may Halloween party na ginaganap tuwing katapusang ng October para i-celebrate ang Halloween. Naging tradisyon na 'yon dito sa campus. Light drinks are allowed and it's always held in the gymnasium. Simula nang pumasok ako rito ay hindi ako uma-attend. Ngayong last year na namin, required sa mga graduating students na um-attend.
"Yup, kundi lagot tayo kay dean," sagot ni Yvonne na nakahiga sa kama ko habang hawak ang kaniyang cellphone.
"I don't know what to wear either," sabi ni Jelyn habang tumitingin din sa magazine na hawak ni Tamara.
Muli kong iniikot ang swivel chair paharap sa study table para magbasa. Christmas vacation is coming too. After ng Halloween party, wala na kaming pasok. I wonder if Mom and Dad will go home for Christmas. Usually, hindi sila nakakauwi dahil madalas silang busy tuwing pasko.
"Should we shop for the costume? I don't want to order online. Gusto ko masusukat ko bago ko bilhin," sabi ni Tamara.
"What will you wear, Tam?" tanong ni Jelyn. "I might wear a white lady costume."
"Ah! Sa akin si Sadako tapos ikaw na lang si Kayako, Jelyn."
Pinapakinggan ko lang sila habang nag-uusap. The three of them decided to wear as white ladies from different horror movies meanwhile I can't even think of anything to wear. I'll probably wear ordinary clothes and say I'm a serial killer.
Kinuha ko ang aking cellphone. I haven't heard from the basketball team for a while because we were all busy with our acads. But surprisingly, they never skipped practice according to Coach Carandang. Mukhang desidido silang manalo next year sa fund raising event ng school.
Ilalapag ko na sana ulit ang cellphone sa ibabaw ng study table ngunit nag-vibrate ito.
Napataas ang aking kilay nang makita si Gio na nag-text. Kaagad akong nagtipa ng ire-reply sa kaniya.
