Hashtag // Nineteen: #TheCall
Avery's POV
♬ ♬ ♬
I was woken up by the sound of my ringtone. Alright. I looked around and found it there on the bedside table. Gumalaw si Raven nang abutin ko iyon. I glanced at the clock and saw it was still 10:53 pm. Who'd call me this late?
"Hello," I answered. My voice still low, halatang kagigising lang. Maaga kasi kaming nakatulog ni Raven dala ng sobrang pagod sa mga ginawa namin sa school.
"Good evening. Did I wake you up?" No shit Sherlock. I rolled my eyes. It was a man. He also has a deep voice but it seems familiar.
"Yes.. No.. I mean, not at all. Who is this?"
"Oh." The man chuckled on the other line. "Avery, this is Dylan Villacampa from The V Group of Companies."
The way he said my name... It's like he knew me, personally. Dylan Villacampa? I can't remember that name...
Oh. On the second thought... DYLAN VILLACAMPA? THE V GROUP? Oh, right. He was the one who offered me last time with that modeling job. Why did he call?
"Still there?" He asked.
"Uh, yeah. I remembered you. Why did you call by the way?"
"It's about the job I had offered to you, Avery. Have you thought about it already?"
I glanced at Raven who was sleeping peacefully. I sighed. It's not yet the best time for this.
"No... I still need to sort some things out. I'm sorry." I replied to him. I still want to finish my studies and also, be with Raven. At tsaka, ang creepy din nitong lalaking 'to. Tumatawag out of office hours. Like hello? Sinong maniniwala rito?
"Oh.. That's alright Avery. But you will always be contacted by us... Just in case you changed your mind. Okay?"
"Uh, I'm sorry. I find it creepy kasi that you'd call me at this time of the night for your offer. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung legit na doon ka nagwowork. But anyway, thank you for the offer kung totoo ka man." I sighed. Mahirap paniwalaan kasi it's too good to be true.
"Oh, okay. I'm so sorry, Bams." I heard him chuckled before ending the call.
Bams. Did he just... just called me Bams? Oh my God. That was the endearment my best friend and I had for each other.
Who could that be? Could it be him? But as what I've remembered his name was not Dylan! H–How did he?
I called back but it cannot be reached anymore.
Damn.

"Galit ka pa ba?"
I glared at him while holding my fork.
"Sa tingin mo?" I rolled my eyes. Of course, kahit naman mayroon siyang rason doon tingin ko pa rin that was a lame decision. Well, I couldn't do anything about it anymore but pwede naman siguro ako mag-galit galitan diba?
"Galit nga." He said and continued eating his breakfast.
Ganon? Hindi man lang ako susuyuin?
I rolled my eyes again. Raven will always be Raven. Hindi talaga siya sweet na pagkalalaki. Pero 'pag sa mga panahong naging sweet naman siya, talaga namang mahihiya sa tamis niya ang mga langgam.
Oh well. Di pa kami bati.

"Ahhhh!"
I covered my my ears after hearing simultaneous shouting all over the campus.
I, together with the officers, have been roaming around the campus to make sure everything's alright. Dito pa talaga kami natagalan sa Horror Booth na ang mga estudyante ay parang nakalunok ata ng amplifier. Lalakas ng sigaw eh.
"Can we take a break guys?" Olive, our treasurer, suggested.
They all looked at me for a sign of approval. Tumango na rin ako dahilan para ngumiti sila. Nakakapagod din kaya lakarin itong buong MHAU.
"Okay guys, time to go back." Joshua said cheerfully na halatang nakahinga rin nang malalim. They must be that tired, eh?
I turned around and saw Raven behind me, playing with my phone. I beamed. Siguro bored na 'to. Well, we had a deal. Ang sabi ko sasamahan niya lang ako kapag dinner na. But he insisted to join us in walking. Edi okay rin.
"Raven." I called him nang medyo nauuna na ang ibang officers.
He still didn't look at me but replied, "Ano?"
Aba. Ano ha? I scoffed. "
"Give me my phone nga! Ano bang ginagawa mo?"
"Maya na, by..." That endearment. God, may mga kulisap na naman sa tiyan ko. Nagbabalik! Sa bagay, sa tuwing tumitingin naman ako sa kanya, lagi naman eh.
Hindi pa rin siya nakatingin. Kaya nilapitan ko na nga siya. Nakita ko ang pagkunot ng kanyang noo habang may pinipindot sa cellphone ko.
Nagtama ang aming mata nang bigla siyang tumingin sa akin. "Sino 'tong Archaic Luis na 'to?" Kalma lang naman ang boses niya.
"What do you mean?" I asked him, confused.
"Nag–chat sa'yo sa Facebook." Cold na cold niyang pagkasabi. His jaw was also clenched. Nagffacebook pala siya kanina gamit ang account ko.
"What? But... I really don't know him?"
He stared at me, coldly. "You don't?" He said and motioned towards me. "He said I miss you Bams, well..." He narrowed his eyes and disapprovingly looking at me.
"Care to enlighten me?"
