•Bea•

After ordering with Tina, we got our food and started looking for Jho.

"Tawagan mo nalang kaya Bea" Tina suggested cause for some reason we just couldn't get a sighting of Ms. Jhoana.

"Wag na. I'm pretty sure andyan lang yan" As I searched my eyes for her.

"Oh there! saw her!" I heard Tina.

"Where?"

"There oh! sa table nila Shaggy." she said as she walks towards their table.

"Ay grabe kung kelan patapos na ako kumain. ang tagal niyo." she said as I sat beside her.

"Gosh it is so chaotic. sabi ko kasi sayo eh. sana nag UPTC tayo"

"Do you not understand na wala tayong time to go there?"

"Can you two please stop bickering? nakakahiya naman kila Thirdy oh" Tina blurted out.

"Oh sorry ah" said Jho.

"Hahaha hey Thirdy! what's up? omg Shaggy. when did you got back?" I greeted the two.

I gave Thirdy and Shaggy a customary hug.

"Pretty good. how are you? Jho told us masama daw pakiramdam mo" said Thirdy.

"Yeah. but I'm feeling a whole lot better now, maybe it was just my gutom and this super init na weather"

"Yeah man. talk about heat. it is real. one of the few reasons I can't stop coming back to the states" said Shaggy.

"Oh so kelan ka nga bumalik?" I asked again.

"I got back about a week ago already. I wished I could've stayed a little longer in the states but Coach Bo told me that I needed to go back right away. the season is starting soon so I understood naman."

He took a couple of spoonfuls and started sharing his story again.

"You know what guys I met a girl when I was in the states"

"So how was it?" Jho asked.

"Bruh. I don't know. too mysterious."

"Mygod Shaggy you should really interact more noh. you have been single for the longest time" Jhoana added. 

"Nag salita yung in a relationship eh noh. inday baka nakakalimutan mo. 3 years na beh. tatlong taon ka ng single. wag kang ma ano diyan." Tina interrupted.

All of us laughed except Jho.

"Hoy Gaisano tigilan mo ako ah" said Jho while laughing.

"Anyways guy's what class do you guys have next, I have theo" Shaggy asked.

"I have Theology also!" Jho said.

"Philosophy" said Tina

"Bae ano nga yung next class mo?" Tina asked.

"I have Pol-Sci" I answered.

"I also have Pol-Sci" Thirdy said.

"Oh there Isabel you don't have to worry na kung may kakilala ka" said Jho

"Wait. how many classes do you guys have ba this sem?" Tina asked.

"I have 4 classes this sem. Accounting, Pol-Sci, Philosophy and Social Studies." I answered.

"I also have 4" Jho and Shaggy said.

"Me 4 also and it's literally all the same with Bea" Thirdy added.

"Oh edi kayo na mag kasama the whole time this sem" Jho said.

"4 lang ba talaga maximum?" Tina asked again.

"No. I think it depends kung ano lang yung kaya or gusto mo" Jho answered her.

"Anong time ba mag eend yung lunch?" Jho asked.

"Why?" Shaggy answered.

"I'm really craving for a milktea kasi eh." as she throw out a sad face.

"As in kahapon pa" She added.

And by that time we heard the bell rang.

"There. that answers your question" Tina said.

"Mamaya ka nalang mag milktea after school samahan kita." Tina told her.

"Di nga pwede eh. may athletes meeting kami later" said Jho while gathering all the plates to put back.

"Athletes meeting?" Thirdy blurted out.

"Kayong dalawa ni Isabel di kayo nakikinig sa mga announcements"

"Wala naman kasing ganun ah" Thirdy defended.

"What's the point of announcing it kung di naman kayo nakikinig"

"What did I heard about the athletes meeting?" Shaggy asked as he came back from putting the plates away.

"Hay jusko! ewan ko sainyong lahat. nakaka ubos kayo ng brain cells" Jho said as she walks away from us.

"Mamaya na shaggs sa class ko na ieexplain. we need to get going"

And then they walked away together. leaving Me, Tina and Thirdy behind.

"So bye for now I need to go na rin sa kabilang building pa ako" said Tina as she waved us goodbye.

"Shall we?" Thirdy asked.

"We should. hahaha" as I threw out a laugh.

Thirdy seems so nice, this is actually our first time to hang out, talk and surprisingly I enjoyed his company. a breath of fresh air.
