"YEAH. EVEN LAST WEEK, IT WAS ALREADY BAD. IT WAS LIKE EVERY NIGHT THAT HIS PARENTS WERE FIGHTING. OUR NEIGHBORS EVEN REPORTED THEM."
Maya shakes her head in sympathy. "Unya? Makatugtog pato si JR karong Wednesday? Diba sa parade man ang drums?"
"AND? WOULD JR BE ABLE TO PLAY ON WEDNESDAY FOR THE PARADE?"
Noel shrugs. "Ambot gani ani. Unya. Ingnan man nako si coach kung unsa among buhaton in case dili makaapil si JR sa final. Awon lang ani."
"I DON'T KNOW. LATER ACTUALLY, I'LL ASK COACH ABOUT WHAT WE SHOULD DO IN CASE JR CAN'T MAKE IT. WE'LL SEE."
"Good luck sa inyo, Noel. Ug kung magkita mo ni JR, pakigakos na lang ko sa iya."
"GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU, NOEL. AND IF YOU SEE JR, GIVE HIM A HUG FOR ME."
"Okay, Maya."
They fall into silence again, both pondering their next move.
"Erm..." Noel gestures toward the gate. "Mulakaw na siguro k—"
"I THINK I BETTER G—"
"Noel, katong imohang pangutana ba. About atong..." She swallows. "Katong kung kinsa ko..."
"NOEL, ABOUT YOUR QUESTION..."
"YOU KNOW, THE ONE ABOUT WHO I AM..."
Noel looks into her eyes, his expression calm and serene.
"Naa nako'y tubag ato. Pwede nato isturyahan ugma? Kanang kita lang duha."
"I THINK I HAVE ANSWER TO IT. CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT TOMORROW? JUST YOU AND I."
Noel smiles and nods. "Okay," he says. "Text lang kung asa ug unsang orasa."
"JUST TEXT ME WHERE AND WHAT TIME."
"Oka—"
"Maya! Sorry kaayo nadugay ko. Taas kaayo ug isturya si ma—hi," Mariz says, approaching them and realizing Noel is there.
"MAYA! SORRY IF TOOK A LONG TIME. MA'AM JUST KEPT RAMBLING O—HI."
"Hi," Noel replies.
"Sorry. Nakadisturbo ko?"
"SORRY. DID I DISTURB YOU?"
Maya steals a glance at Noel and shakes her head. "Unsa diay inyong giisturyahan?"
"WHAT WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
Mariz rolls her eyes. "Kinahanglan ko magpasa ug mga requirements para mahatagan ko nila ug grado sa prelim ug sa midterm. Hassle kaayo."
"I NEED TO SUBMIT SOME REQUIREMENTS SO THAT THEY CAN GIVE ME MY PRELIM AND MIDTERM GRADES. SO ANNOYING."
"Abi ba nakog naa ka'y connection sa Principal?"
"I THOUGHT YOU HAD CONNECTIONS WITH THE PRINCIPAL?"
Mariz shrugs.
Noel spots Aljun at the gate and waves at him.
"Dugaya nimo men uy. Gutom na kaayo ba." Aljun notices Maya and Mariz, and his eyes widen a bit. "Hi!" he exclaims, his voice trembling.
"WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG, MAN? I'M SO HUNGRY."
Noel laughs and shakes his head.
Adjusting his hair, Aljun tries to act cool as he joins them. "Tara na," he says, trying to act all cool. "Kumusta Maya?"
"LET'S GO."
"HOW ARE YOU MAYA?"
"Okay lang," she replies, giving Mariz a sidelong glance.
