Dagdagan pa ni Red na panay tanong ng kung ano-ano. Hindi yata makaramdam na nahihiya si Rain. O baka ramdam niya ngunit makulit lang talaga siya.
I just hope we don't make them, especially him, uncomfortable.
They even invited them to watch our basketball game, something even I was not aware of. Hindi ko alam na maglalaro pala kami ng basketball mamaya.
"Maybe next time?" alangang saad ni Rain habang sinasabit ang kanyang bag sa balikat.
I watched how his cheeks turned pink as we all looked at him while he was speaking. I think he's kind of embarrassed and intimidated.
Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti habang tinitignan siya at ang kanyang kaibigan na mukhang hindi sanay sa atensyon na ibinibigay namin sa kanila.
"Next time then. Pasok na kayo." sumabat na ako upang mabawasan ang ilang at hiya na nararamdaman nila. Pakiramdam ko ay magsasalita pa ang mga kaibigan ko kaya inunahan ko na.
"I told you to find another table!" Kiel hissed as we walked out of the cafeteria. Rain and Clara left first, then we followed.
"We also want to befriend your new friends." Elijah said.
I let out a faint chuckle when Kiel rolled his eyes. You know you reached Kiel's boiling point when he started rolling his eyes on you.
"Cute mo, Kiel." saad ko na mas nagpakunot sa noo niya. "Sana sumama ka na lang sa kanila para sabay na kayong pumasok." dagdag ko pa ngunit hindi niya ako pinansin.
We attended our afternoon classes and I'm in a good mood because it ended early.
"Hindi ko alam na magbabasketball pala. Good thing I always have my shoes and jerseys with me."
I told Aiden as we entered the basketball gym where some of our acquaintances were waiting. We headed straight here after class, except for Ram and Kiel since they were still in their classes when we left the campus.
"Emman said he asked you earlier."
I licked my lower lip while putting my gym bag on the bench and watched some familiar and unfamiliar faces on the court.
"I nodded my head but I was not planning to play today, dude."
A familiar place suddenly popped up my mind as I remembered the main reason why I didn't plan on playing basketball after class.
I wanted to go to the library today.
Hindi ko pa naisasauli ang libro na hiniram ko kahapon. Masyado akong naaliw sa pagbabasa noon kaya hiniram ko bago ako umuwi. And it's the main reason why I wanted to go to the library. I need to return the book.
I looked at my friends who were stretching, getting ready for the game. For a second, a ridiculous plan was on my mind, but I stopped myself.
Why do I want to ditch this game and go to the library instead?
"Blake, first five." I took a deep breath and started stretching.
Maybe I can finish this first and go back to the university so I could return the book?
That's what I did. The game lasted around two hours, which is why I was already in a hurry. Baka sarado na ang library dahil lagpas alas-sais na.
"Why are you in a hurry?" Nathan asked when he saw me moving fast.
"I'll go back to the campus. I need to return a book to the library."
"Book?" Some of them asked in unison.
"Libro." I said, stating the obvious.
Anong hindi nila maintindihan sa book?
"You borrowed a book from the library?"
