“Uh, I don’t think so, Prez. I just… I can’t be friends with you.”
THIRTEEN
Wow. I am completely floored right now. Who would have thought… who would have thought na may lalala pa pala sa pagiging friendzoned? Ugh. Fine, then. Eh ‘di kung hindi pala talaga mutual ang feelings namin, pues, gagawin ko itong mutual. Ayaw ko na rin sa kanya. Hah, freaking bastard.
“Shet, burrrn! Hoy, Key! Bakit ka lumaki ng ganyan? Wala kang puso!” Milo sneered at Key, talagang pinagbubuhusan niya ng emosyon ‘yung pangangaral niya kay Keith Kato ngayon. Good job, Milo. Good job.
“Ihhh Pring! Don’t worry, there’s more to life than love! Pero syempre,” he paused for a few seconds, saka niya ako nginitian widely. And rather suspiciously, might I add. “Kung kailangan mo ng isang artistahing rebound, nandito lang ang poging ako sa iyong tabi. Tandaan mo Pring, rebounding is a virtue.”
Tsss, what the heck. As expected.
“Okay. Thanks Milo, that is my cue. Nasasayang lang ang magagandang mga minuto ng buhay ko dito.” I stowed my MacBook away at saka ako umirap sa dalawang lalaki na dumadamage ng kawawang mga neurons ko. “Meeting adjourned.”
I absolutely ignored the annoying duo right after. Ah, napaka-busy talaga ng buhay ko, kaya naman I’ve no time left to care!
Pinagtuunan ko na lang ng pansin ‘yung tally of votes para sa theme ng party:
Elisha – The Walking Dead
Key – Sherlock / Doctor Who
Milo – Ultra Sexy Bikini Party (?)
Officers from Finance Division – Cosplay / Masquerade
Class Presidents (majority) – Masquerade
Bakt nananalo ang masquerade?! Uck. Cliché! A masquerade-themed Acquaintance Party? Hell no.
I was so immersed with my plotting, kung papaano ko ba mabe-brainwash ang karamihan ng aking mga constituents para mabago ko naman ang eww at tasteless choice nila, kaya tuloy hindi ko kaagad napansin na pumasok na pala ng SC room si Harina.
Darn. What, in the effing world, is she doing here? Tch, asar. Bawal siya dito, no! This is sacred ground!
“KK!!” She squealed, gamit ang kanyang patented, high-pitched na boses. Grrr, must she use that voice every single time?! UGH.
The flour girl ran towards Key, and then hugged him tightly from behind, as if nawala ng matagal at nanggaling pa sa kabilang dako ng mundo ang lalaki. Yuck. Sagwa. Wala na, tuluyan ng nagtagumpay si Harina from obtaining my attention.
Ayaw ko sana silang tignan, nakakaimbyerna lang eh. Kaso, I got betrayed. Thanks to my useless brain, which keeps on commanding my poor eyes to stare at the cuddling couple. Ah, ngayon ko lang nalaman na masokista pala ako. Saya.
“Can’t… breathe,” tinanggal ni Key, hastily, (sa opinion ko it was hasty, at least), ‘yung mga nakapalupot na kamay ni Harina sa kanya. The flour girl pouted at that – halatang disappointed – but made me smile, just a bit, to myself. Ha.
