[ON HOLD] Nobody Else But You

18: It's A Date!

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: It's A Date!

"Quen!" I exclaimed in a surprised voice as I entered our house. I know I should be used to Quen appearing bigla-biglaan lang here at home because he has a key. (Just like how I have a key to the Gils' home.) 

"Saan ka galing?" He asked in his serious "fatherly" voice. Which I know means that he is a bit pissed because I didn't tell him where I went.

"I went to Manang Nena's. Mom asked me if pwede ba akong pumunta dun to give Aling Nena some medicine and stuff so she could get better." I explained.

Quen nods. And with that, I know he isn't pissed at me anymore. "Hey, wanna head to Jerome's? Everyone is there. Gusto daw kasi nilang ma-timing si Kath."

I nodded. "Sure," I tell him. "Anong ginawa niyo sa school?" I asked him.

"Hindi ba nasabi sayo nila Miles? Kasi ang alam ko, galing sila dito before going to school, diba?" Quen asked.

"Yeah. Pero di sila masyadong specific eh." We we're now both out of the gate. I gestured for Quen to wait. "Kuya Noel!" I called.

"Ma'am, bakit ho?" Our driver ran over to us, now huffing and puffing. He probably ran here as fast as he could.

"May lakad ako. May pagkain na iniwan si mommy sa ref. Yung nasa yellow na tupperware. I-heat niyo nalang po." I instructed him as I waved goodbye.

"Sige, kuya." Quen also bids him goodbye as he enters his Camaro. 

"So, anong plano niyo for homecoming?" I asked as he starts his engine.

"Hindi ko alam."

I turned to him. "Hindi mo alam? What do you mean 'Hindi mo alam'?"

He shrugged. "It's just a dance, Juls."

"Wag naman ganyan! You have to go! You never attend anything!"
