The Perks of being a Fangirl

CHAPTER 16: New Friends?

TASHA’s POV

Pagkatapos kunin ni Jeric ang aking notebook sa statistics, agad naman siyang nagpaalam at bumalik na sa loob ng gym dahil tapos na ang kanilang break.

“Uy, thank you ha” Anna said.

“Ano ba, wala ‘yun” Sagot ko naman.

“Ahh… tasha, anong meron sa inyo ni kuya Jeric?” Kyla asked.

“Seatmates kasi kami sa stat, ako na rin yung naging tutor niya.” I answered.

“TALAGA?!” Sabi nilang tatlo. “Wow, so close pala kayo!”

“Ha? Hindi ha, hindi naman.” Sabi ko. Totoo naman kasi eh.

“Thank you talaga Tasha. Ang bait mo. Sana maging friends tayong apat.” Anna said.

“Ah, siyempre naman. Wala ‘yun. Mababait naman kasi kayo eh.” I said.

“So friends na tayo?” Kyla said.

“Ahhh…,” papayag ba ako? Hay nako Tasha, ikaw na nga kinakaibigan eh, ayaw mo pa. “Oo naman.” Ngumiti ako sa kanila.

“Talaga?” Napangiti din sila sa’kin. “Tara, kain tayo! Libre na namin Tasha!” Kyla said.

“Sure! Saan tayo?” Agad ko namang sabi.

 JERON’s POV

“Naks naman Jeric. Nag-aaral! Nagbabago ka na ah.” I told Jeric the moment I entered our room.

“Tumahimik ka nga diyan Jeron! Ang dami ko na kasing na-miss sa Statistics kaya naman kailangan kong bumawi” Jeric said.

“Anong lesson ba ‘yan? Malay mo naman makatulong ako!” I asked.

“Wag na!” Jeric immediately said. “Baka mali mali pa maituro mo…”

“Magaling kaya ako diyan! Gusto mo ako magturo sa’yo?” I asked.

“Wag na bro. Si Tasha lang pinagkakatiwaalan kong magturo sa’kin kasi siya tutor ko sa Stat!” Jeric said. 

What? Oh yeah I almost forgot. She’s Jeric’s tutor in Stat. 

“kay Tasha ‘yan?” I said that while I sat down beside him in the study table.

“Yup.” He said with irritation in his voice. “Can you just stop asking questions? Nag-aaral nga ako eh!” Jeric said.

“Okay…” Yun na lang nasabi ko. I stayed beside him while I check tasha’s notes. Wow! It impresses me how her notes are so tidy and organized.

”Ugh pano ba ‘to kukunin!! Ang hirap talaga!” I heard Jeric said.

“Let me see bro!” I answered.

“No!” He said. “I’ll ask tasha na lang” Jeric said. Akala yata niya imamali ko yung ituturo ko sa kanya eh.

Jeric got his phone in his backpack then opened twitter.

“Check ko nga kung online si Tasha…” Jeric said while browsing  tasha’s account. Ngayon ko lang nalaman twitter ni Tasha.

 “Otw home. Thanks for today new friends :’)”

“I don’t want to buy from Scalpers anymore. Their ticket prices are too high!! 2k? NOOO! MUST. RESIST. TEMPTATION. Kailangang magtipid”

“Can’t watch the Ateneo-Lasalle game live tomorrow L”

Did I just see that right? She won’t watch our game?
