"Eh ano? Leonardo?"
He gave me a disgusted look. "Please. Matagal ko nang ibinaon sa limot ang pangalan na iyan."
I laughed. "Oo na. Lea na kung Lea. By the way I brought some foods"
"Kaya ka pala nagtetext kanina. May plano ka palang bumisita. Sakto ang dating mo, wala akong ipapakain sa kanila" he chuckled. "Siya nga pala, we have a new teacher" he led me to where the teachers are. "Si Conrad"
He extended his arms. Ayoko sanang makipag-kamay but I don't want to be rude, tinanggap ko ito. "Nice to meet you" tipid akong ngumiti.
"The pleasure is mine." he said and even kissed my hand. Nagulat ako kaya nahila ko bigla ang kamay ko.
The teachers are also shocked, lalo na si Leo. It's a good thing hinila na niya ako palayo. "Bakla ka wag ka nang umeksena, ibigay mo na yon sakin"
"Iyong iyo na. Wala akong interest sa kanya" tawa ko.
To make the surroundings a little bit unawkward, kumain na lang kami.

Third Person's POV
Back in the mansion, Greggy finally woke up. Before going downstairs, pumunta muna siya sa kwarto ni Irene pero walang tao.
Bumaba na siya at nakita sila Imee sa sala. He went to the kitchen and only found Imelda and Bongbong and Liza who's eating their breakfast.
"Gising ka na pala. Sabayan mo na silang kumain." aya ni Imelda.
He nodded and sat on his chair. "Asan po si Irene, Tita?" he asked.
"Hala ka, iniwanan ka na" pangdadaot ni Bongbong kaya siniko siya ni Liza.
"She didn't let you know? Kanina pa siya umalis. She went to visit her friend's school" Imelda answered.
"May I ask for the address po?"
Nagkatinginan silang tatlo. In the end, they gave him the address.
After eating, he huriedly took a bath and change his clothes. Dahil magtatanghali na medyo mabagal na ang daloy ng traffic.
Nang makarating siya, tinanong siya ng guard.
"I'm here for Irene" he said.
"Kaano-ano ka po?"
Napatigil siya sa tanong ng guard. "A very close friend." He looked at the guard and it's like he's not taking it.
"Kahit ihatid mo pa ako kuya. I will not do something bad. I'm just here for Irene."
Hanggang sa nakumbinsi niya ang guard. Talagang hinatid niya ito sa third floor. Kumatok ang guard at sumilip sa loob.
Napabaling naman silang lahat doon.
"Excuse me po, may naghahanap po kay Ms. Irene."
Leo looked at Irene but Irene just gave him an 'i don't know look'.
"Papasukin mo na lang kuya" sagot ni Leo.
"Pwede ka na raw pumasok Sir." baling ng guard kay Greggy at umalis na.
When he stepped in to the room he saw his girl. Bukod kay Irene, may isa pang tao na naka-agaw sa atensiyon niya. The only man among them, well obviously he can see that the person beside Irene is gay.
He looked at the man who is staring at Irene as if mawawala ito pag pumikit siya. And that makes Greggy's blood boil.

Irene's POV
Pumasok ang isang matangkad na lalaki dito sa loob.
"Ang pogi" I heard Leo whispered.
