Planet Acelatoria

"Anong ginagawa niyo rito? Akala ko natulog na kayo." I said and removed my heels. Lumapit na 'ko sa aking kama at pinatong ang pouch sa side table.

"Zain wants us to interview you, Clardia! About what happend to the dinner." si Nebula. Wow, mukhang close na siya kayla Zain, ah. Ilang oras lang namin silang iniwan pero bestfriends na rin ata sila.

"Interview talaga?" natatawang sabi ko. My girl bestfriend squinted her eyes at me.

"Well, that's how Zain name it." Kiefer shrugged while caressing Nebula's furs.

"Hoy, Clardia Halley Royaldes. Umamin ka nga sa'kin, may nangyari noong dinner 'no? Kaya ganyan mukha mo."

"Bakit? Ano bang itsura ko?" I asked to Zain while still laughing a bit.

"Ayan! Namumula ka kaya! Tapos tawa ka pa ng tawa! Parang kilig na kilig ka eh! Sabihin mo sa'kin, ano ba talagang naganap doon sa dinner, ha? Bakit bigla kang nagkaganyan?"

Gano'n ba talaga ako ka-obvious kiligin?

"H-Huh? Anong sinasabi mo, Zain? Wala naman 'to. Maanghang kasi ung kinain namin doon kaya siguro namumula ung pisngi ko. Tapos ano... nagkabiruan lang kami ng konti noong dinner kaya ayon, hindi pa 'ko makamove-on kakatawa,"

Zain and Kiefer stared at each other. Okay, they know me too well. Malamang alam na nilang nagsisinungaling ako.

"Clard..."

"Zain, Kief, lumabas na muna kayo. I promise! I'll tell you immediately about what happend tomorrow!" I said and made them stand on their sits and forcefully pushed them out of my room.

"Hoy, Clardia Halley! Anong ngang nangyari? Sabihin mo na!" pangungulit ni Zain while I continued to pushed them away.

"Secret! I'll tell you tomorrow!" I made them out of my room as I swiftly closed my door and locked. Sinubukan pa nilang kumatok ng ilang beses sa pinto but, I just ignored them.

Kaagad kong hinagis ang aking sarili sa kama at tinalukbungan ng isang unan ang aking mukha.

"Ahhh! Omy gosh! Omy gosh! Xavier kissed me! He kissed me! I can't believe this!" pigil na tiling sigaw ko habang nagpapapadyak sa aking kama.

So, it means, nagseselos talaga siya sa'min ni Lucas?! Ah-huh! That's why he's mocking my second name noong nagalit siya sa'kin nung nakaraan. Dahil narinig niya at alam niyang 'Halley' ang tawag sa'kin ni Lucas.

Well, that man really loves calling every person by their second name. Mas natatandaan daw kasi siya ng mga tao dahil mostly, sa first name tayo tinatawag ng karamihan. So, if he's gonna call someone by their second name, maalala siya agad ng taong 'yon dahil kaunti lang ang tumatawag sa kanya sa ganong pangalan. And actually, I think it works.

And oh right, speaking of Lucas... I don't know what to do. Should I tell him my feelings for Xavier? We already broke up but... he just told me last time that he still... loves me.

Ugh! Pa'no 'yon? Pero alam niya namang asawa na 'ko ng pinsan niya 'di ba? With or without my feelings for Xavier, kami pa rin naman ang magkakatuluyan. It's already been fixed.

Teka, naisip ko lang, ngayong may gusto na 'ko kay Xavier... ibig bang sabihin hindi na 'ko uuwing Earth at maninirahan na talaga ako dito sa Acelatoria? Pero hindi naman pwede 'yon. My family is waiting for me in that planet and I would also missed them once I don't come back. Isa pa, nandito ang mga kaibigan ko, they told me na sama-sama kaming aalis dito. And knowing them, talagang gano'n ang gagawin nila.
