The weekdays went by fast, we were so thankful dahil walang iniwang school works ang mga teachers namin, though nag-iisip na kami ngayon ng mga possible topics at titles namin for the Practical Research 1 dahil malapit na rin kami magsimula, may groupings na nga kami.
May phone rang, I picked it up and I saw Seah calling. "Hi, what do you want?" I said.
"Vier's asking kung gusto natin sumama sa mall, kasama rin si Ethan, gusto raw nilang gumala." She said on the other line excitedly.
"Ha? Why, me? We're not that close, kayo na lang muna siguro... nakakahiya." Naguguluhan kong sabi, as far as I know kahit naman may small interactions na kami we're not that close to catch up on a lazy Saturday.
"Tara na, Alex. As if naman you two didn't talked ha and I'd also liked to shop for my art materials, pretty please?" Pagpapaawa niya pa sa'kin.
"It's okay if you'll go with them alone, sige na." Tinatamad kasi akong lumabas ng bahay, I'm reading a book din at ayokong naaabala ako while I'm at it.
"Okay. Bye." Pinatay na niya ang tawag kahit hindi pa ako nakakapagsalita. Nagtatampo na naman siya, ayoko kasi talaga lumabas ng bahay kasi mainit rin outside, I'll just get sweaty there.
I was still looking on my phone iniisip kung tatawagan ko ba siya ulit at papayag na sumama or 'wag na, but I texted her na lang saying my sorry.
Me:
Hey, love I'm sorry bawi na lang ako next time, okay?
Chelseah:
STOP IT!!!
Me:
I'm sorry talaga, I'll make it up to you.
Ingat, latersss!
Chelseah:
Okay :'(
I was about to reply nang biglang may nag-pop up sa notification bar ko.
Ethan Velasquez sent you a friend request.
I accepted it without second thought, wala pang ilang minuto ay nagchat siya sa'kin.
