Dive (La Melodia Series #2)

Their chatters made me feel warm kaya nagtago ako ng ngiti, "Elle had a dating rumor with a rookie actor, balita ko." kinalabit ko si Huey. "Ah yes, they're actually working together lang. Elle was a hot topic sa Ateneo dahil doon."  The Philippine media likes romantic rumors so much huh?

I posted a picture of with Zosia to confirm their assumptions, since na-reveal na naman ang mukha ako sa official webpage nila ay ginawa ko nalang din 'yon. "I wouldn't be surprised if you and Rheagan will be on the news for dating assumptions." Biro ni Mai, I poked her side kaya naman ay napatawa siya.

"Hindi mo pa sinasagot? Ano ba 'yan, Imogen. Akala ko ba jowang-jowa ka na?" Aniya habang umiinom ng iced tea. "Ilang buwan ka na niyang nililigawan?" She asked again, I counted the months and showed my fingers, "Almost five months." sagot ko.

Nasira ang mukha ni Zosia at ngumwi siya, "Ang pakipot mo rin. Baka pinapaasa mo siya ah." she turned her back at me to talk to Khaleesi.

I was scared of that but with my recent actions parang ganoon ang ginagawa ko, I had no intentions pa na sagutin si Rheagan dahil parang ayaw ko pa. But I like him, sobra. I just can't afford to hurt myself again dahil lang sa pag-ibig. Huminga ako ng malalim bago nakipag-usap ulit sa mga kaibigan ko.

September came, and Naimh wanted us to have a costume party dahil birthday rin ni Cassius on the first day, early halloween daw. Ang dami talagang alam nang dalawang 'yon.

Which most of my friends agreed kaya nahila rin nila ako, I decided to be Betty Boop and had my make-up done with my team before. "Very sexy naman!" Naimh peeked at me when I finally got done dressing up.

"Ano kayo ni Cash?" Tumayo ako at nagtakip ng blanket dahil sa suot ko.

"Strawberry and shit!?" Napatawa ako ng malakas nang makita ang costume nila, Naimh was the strawberry and Cassius was literally shit. For the pictures lang daw, magbibihis rin daw kaagad sila after.

My make-up team took a lot of pictures of me para daw i-post nila sa make-up account nila. I helped them in cleaning the room para hindi na sila mahirapan, "Nako, salamat, Imogen!" I nodded and smiled.

I grabbed my bag and got out of the room not forgetting to say thank you to them again, "Imogen ikaw na muna sa front seat, baka masira ang costume ko." Naimh gleefully grinned, Cassius took off his poo costume dahil he will be the one driving. Pumasok ako sa sasakyan at tiningnan kung ayos lang ba si Naimh sa likod.

She gave me a thumbs-up before telling her boyfriend to drive, hindi raw makakapunta si Sha at si Huey dahil may importanteng subject silang papasukan bukas. We got off the club and we were immediately greeted by Khaleesi who was dressing up as Katniss from The Hunger Games.

"Ay hindi bagay sayo ang Katniss, pandak ka eh." Naimh teased Khaleesi again,

"At least hindi ako tae. Joke. Happy birthday, Cash!" tinapik niya si Cassius sa braso at binati.

Pumasok kami sa loob at kaagad na napuno bg bati para kay Cassius, it was funny looking at Cassius' costume at first but he didn't mind dahil gusto niyang mapasaya ang kaibigan ko. He loved Naimh so much that he doesn't care about his appearance anymore.
