Jennie

I woke up at the loud noises from the living room. Eyes still close, I let my hand searched for Lily beside me but I felt nothing but her plushies.

"Lily!" Lumabas agad ako ng kwarto and there I saw Irene, Seul and Chaeng eating breakfast with Lily.

"Your mom's being paranoid again." I heard Irene said then Lily giggled.

"Hey, Joohyun I heard you!"

"Oops. Gising kana pala! Good morning. Breakfast?" I went to Lily's side then planted a kiss on her head. Irene handed me a cup of coffee.

"Mommy! Gigi made me pancakes." Lily said. Tumingin ako ng masama kay Seulgi.

"Oh! Bakit? Walang lason yan! Grabe ka. Nagustuhan nga niya eh. Diba Lily?"

Lily nod happily. "Mommy, you should eat. Nangnang said we're going out today."

"Going out? Saan? Kaya ba ang aga niyong tatlo dito?" I said as soon as I sat beside them.

"Yep. We're setting you up on a date." Kalmadong sabi ni Irene.

Ano daw? Date? No way.

"Woah there missy. You what?"

"We're setting you up on a date. Paulit ulit?"

"Hindi naman ako pumayag ah? And besides, day off ko ngayon. It should be just me and Lily."

"Unnie, we will set you up on a date with Lisa naman. Don't worry. She doesn't know it's you." Chaeng said.

Huh? With... Lisa?

"Wait.. what? Why? Anong gagawin ko?"

I panicked a little. Bakit ba nila to ginagawa?

"Pupunta ka lang sa Pop's. Mag usap kayo. Catch up a little. Pakilala mo si Lily. Kung gusto mo sabihin mo na din sa kanya yung totoo. Basta! Ikaw na bahala. And oh, please wear stripes. Black and white." Irene said.

"Teka, naguguluhan ako eh. Bakit? Bakit niyo to ginagawa?"

"Kasi... alam namin na ito yung gusto niyo pero hindi niyo kayang gawin?" Seul said.

"Unnie, she doesn't know na ikaw yung ka'date niya. Ang alam niya, ang kikitain niya today is yung pinsan ni Kai from Canada. Sabi namin naka'suot siya ng stripes na black and white eh."

Kahit naguguluhan ako, ginawa ko pa din yung sinabi nila. Kinakabahan ako. Ano namang sasabihin ko kay Lisa?

"Gigi, where are we going?" I hear Lily asked Seulgi. Binibihisan nila si Lily na almost kaparehas ng suot ko.

"We're going to meet Barbie. You like that?"

"Barbie? Ooh. The girl from last night?"

Seulgi looked at me confusingly. I just shrugged. Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa din pala nalilimutan ni Lily yun. I thought kapag naka'tulog na siya, hindi na niya maaalala yun eh.

"What if pag nalaman niya na ako yung ka'date niya... bigla siyang umuwi?" Papunta na kami sa Pop's. Kinakabahan talaga ako.

"I doubt that. Sabihin na natin na, sige may galit pa siya sayo, pero kasi matagal na panahon na yun eh. Hindi nagtatanim ng galit si Lisa ng ganun ka'tagal. And isa pa, it's you who'll she meet after all." Chaeng said.
