"Si Jaz ba 'yong una niyang girlfriend?" Lara chuckled. "Hindi, 'no! Friend niya lang 'yon! Nagselos ka pala ro'n? Pero, hindi siya, high school pa no'ng nagkaro'n siya ng girlfriend."
"How can I not feel jealous? E, besides you, Jaz is the only girl he goes to when he's here." I said as if it was natural.
I mean, wasn't it?
"E, wala namang malisya 'yon, 'yong iyo, mayro'n. Kaya, tanggalin mo na 'yong jealousy mo." She explained before leaning closer. "Ikaw naman love no'n, kaya don't worry."
I stilled at her last phrase.
Graham and I have never said those words before, only 'I like yous.' Parang hindi pa applicable sa akin 'yon at sa kaniya, maybe soon, but not today. Besides, it had only been a few months since we'd known each other.
Love doesn't happen so quickly, right?
"Oh, sa'n ka?" Franko asked after our class, I was heading in the opposite direction as them. "RobMan."
"Kakain ka?" I shook my head. "I'll buy something from the grocery," I went on walking.
Tamang-tama ang pagpunta ko sa grocery ng RobMan dahil kaunti ang tao. Sakto, everyone else in the mall was eating lunch. I had eaten a ton this morning so that I can go here without feeling the need to eat.
I went to the section of coffee and roamed my eyes to look at the green powdered drinks. May ibang flavors pa, kaya kumuha na ako ng iba't ibang powdered tea. Graham's birthday was coming up next week, we talked about that before, so I thought of buying him these. I got 20 pieces since 20 na siya this year, mas matanda pala ako sa kaniya ng ilang araw lang.
"Ang dami, Ma'am, experiment po ba 'to?" kumento ng cashier woman nung nagbabayad na ako. "No, for my boyfriend, he loves tea."
Humagikgik ang babae. "Sweet mo naman po!"
I went back in campus to attend the rest of my classes. But when I got to RH's lobby, my prof cancelled our class due to conflict of schedule. Inis na inis ang aking mga kaklase na kadarating lang, ang ilang sa kanila ay malayo ang binabiyahe araw-araw para sa klase.
"Badtrip naman! Sayang 'yong pamasahe ko, ito lang klase ko ngayong araw, e!" rinig kong sabi no'ng babae kong kaklase.
"Iinom na lang natin 'yan, tutal maaga pa!" aya naman ng isa ko pang kaklase.
I walked out of there before they began suggesting I go with them. Hindi kami close no'ng mga 'yon, but they were usually open to the idea of drinking as a block. Kahit nga sa GC na may prof, e, mayro'ng nagtsa-chat tungkol do'n. And, I was not as open as they were.
"Dani!" I stopped walking when I heard William call me. He was still in campus habang ako'y nasa labas na ng gates.
"Kakain ka ng dinner? Sabay na tayo!" tumango ako at hinintay siya.
Inakbayan niya ako at hinila patungo sa RobMan, pero suwabe kong tinanggal ang braso niya habang naglalakad. I wasn't supposed to have a guy casually hold me now because I have a boyfriend.
"Sa'n tayo kakain?" tanong niya nang maramdaman ko ang lamig ng aircon sa mall. "I want pizza, ikaw?"
"Sige, pizza na lang tayo," again, he put his arm around me before walking.
This time, I had to tell him off.
"William," I took his arm off, then faced him.
Hinila ko muna siya sa gilid para hindi kami makaabala sa mga naglalakad.
"Don't hold me too much anymore. I have a... boyfriend now, so I can't-"
"You have a boyfriend now? Since when?" his brows met when he asked. "Last week, I didn't really tell anyone since-"
