Cannot Reciprocate

CHAPTER 3

"Let's eat and take a rest." aniya. Hinila niya si Annika sa gilid, umangal pa ang kaibigan ko pero wala siyang nagawa.

"What do you want?" Joshua asked while looking at the dishes.

"I can do it by myself." I said.

"Edi ikaw na." he mockingly said.

Kumuha ako ng pagkain at nagpunta sa isang upuan at naupo. Two tables ang nandito, mahahaba. May mga upuan din.

4th year engineering student ang mga kasama namin. They're just fifteen students. Hindi sumali ang iba dahil they cannot afford the fees.

Naupo sa tabi ko si Joshua. Kaharap namin sila Keanna. She was smirking at me. Beside her was Sean.

"Aww. Look at them, they look so sweet." Keanna said. Looking at the two person that sat on our left side.

Ngumiti sa akin si Lovely. She sat beside me.

I rolled my eyes. I don't like her smile.

"Here." rinig kong sabi ni Uno. Binigay nito ang water bottle na hawak niya kay Lovely.

"Thank you." mahinhing sagot nito.

Umusod ako ng upuan palapit kay Joshua. Tila nagulat si Joshua sa bigla kong pag usod dahil natigil ito sa pag kain. He look my side and me.

Hindi ito nag salita at hinayaan lang ako. He continue eating.

"Lovely, what's the feeling of having Uno beside you?" Keanna asked.

Kumain ako. Waiting for her answer.

"Wala naman." nahihiyang wika nito.

Natawa si Keanna at Sean.

"Hey, he's Uno. Kinababaliwan ng marami. Right, Ciara?"

Tumigil ako sa pag kain at tinignan si Keanna.

I smirked. This bitch wants to play.

"Yes, that's right. Be so grateful that you have him in your side, Lovely. Keanna is a bitch, she will do everything to ruined you." I sarcastically said. Keanna lokking at me, sharply.

Tinignan ako ni Lovely. She was about to say something but Uno interrupt.

"Eat up. The food might be cold." he coldly said. Tumango naman si Lovely.

Naunang natapos sila Uno. Keanna and Sean also finished eating their food. Pati na rin ang iba sa tables.

Ako na lang ang hindi pa. I'm just staring at my food.

"Do you have plans to eat that or you just staring at it the whole time?" Joshua said. Nandito pa pala ang isang ito.

Nakasandal ito sa upuan. His hands are crossed on his chest while staring at me.

Compared to Uno, Joshua likes black tee. Hindi ko pa yata siya nakitang magsuot ng ibang kulay.

"Mind your own business." I said at tumayo.

"I am minding my business now." sagot niya at sumunod sa akin. He was holding my waist again.

"Why are you holding me? Don't touch me." Binilisan kong maglakad.

"Bagay ang kamay ko sa bewang mo." he playfully said. Inalis ko ang kamay nito na nakahawak sa bewang ko pero ibinabalik pa rin niya. Hinayaan ko na lang. I'm tired to deal with him.

I went to the washroom area and taking a bath. May mga nakasabayan din ako, even Annika.

May mga cubicle and stuff na rin.
