"Embarrassing," KJ hissed.
"Wow ha. Ngayon ka pa nahiya, kung kailan tapos na ang palabas. Kunwari ka pa eh. Alam kong gusto mo rin naman. Ang obvious kaya na super enjoy ka," sabay tawa ng nakakaloko.
Namula naman ito. "Y-you're talking nonsense." He looked away.
"Weh, weh, weh." Patuloy pa rin ako sa pang-aasar. Namumula naman si KJ habang nagmamaneho.
Pauwi na kasi kami galing mall. After naming kumanta, kumain lang kami sa favorite ng lahat: Jollibee. Tapos nag-ikotikot saglit.
Bumili lang ako ng isang skirt, isang shorts, isang dress, at isang tank top. Siya naman ay dalawang t-shirts, dalawang pants. Para saan? For school. Alam niyo naman sa UP 'di ba? Wala kaming uniform. How cool is that? Hehehe. Ang problema lang, nakakaubos talaga siya ng damit. But what the fudge! Allowed naman kami pumasok ng kahit ano'ng damit, kahit nakapambahay. Naranasan ko na iyon, maraming beses na no'ng nagdodorm ako. Pagnale-late ako, nagtu-toothbrush lang ako at hilamos, and I'm off to my classrooms. Nasa loob lang din naman ng UP ang dorm ko eh, so okay lang. Wala na ring nakakadiri o nakapagtataka, lahat ng students eh sanay na sa gano'n. I'll bet my entire money; all of us have tried that. Again, how cool is that? Well, UP is not UP without those horrendous and outrageous things, is it?
I glanced at the guy seating beside me, his face flushed. Mukhang kamatis si loko. Napahagikghik ako, remembering something that happened earlier.
*flashback*
“Hubarin mo iyan. Ayoko niyan,” naiiritang sabi nito.
Kasalukuyan kaming nasa SM Department Store para tumingin ng damit. Pinakita ko sa kanya ang shorts na sinukat ko. Pero iyon lang pala ang sasabihin niya.
“What?! What’s the problem with the shorts? I think it’s cute.”
“No, it’s not cute. It’s disgusting.”
“You dope!”
“Now, go back and look for something decent.’" He really emphasized the word “decent.”
“What do you mean by that decent word, Mister?”
“Well, something appropriate, something that will cover your body enough for those maniacs out there not to see,” he replied sarcastically.
Okay. That’s foul. Battle of wits? Fine. Hindi ako papatalo sa kupal na ito.
