Red Strings of Fate (Haunted Series 2)

Strings 7: Fate

I groaned pero natawa rin sa huli, she really wants to tease her sister. "No no no no, those guys are not cute. Puppies are, but them?" Lorraine moaned and I had to kick her seat dahil kadiri na siya. Gago talaga.

"Sinong pipiliin niyo sa kanilang lima? Since lima narin naman tayo." Marianne grinned at napailing agad ako.

"Pass." Lorraine scoffed.

Umirap si Riri, "Hypothetically lang naman, if you weren't dating Kuya Elijah."

"Ano?!" My head practically whipped to face Lorraine from shock. She's in a relationship with Rian's kuya?!

Nang maramdaman niya ang tingin naming lahat ay tumawa siya at napailing nalang.

"Alam ni Marianne? Now that's unfair." Rossana mused and Lorraine raised her eyebrows at her.

"You can't do that Rossana Saludaga, hindi ka rin nagkkwento sa jowa mo." Napanguso si Rossana kaya napangisi naman ang isa.

Umiling si Rian and glared at Lorraine, "To be fair, nalaman ko 'yun on my own. They weren't secretive about it."

"How did you know?" She asked, genuinely curious. "Hindi naman kami clingy sa isa't isa kapag nandon ka, we made sure of that."

Napairap siya, "Seeing you sneaking towards my brother's room at midnight isn't hard to know na there's something going on between you, is it?"

"Oh my Gooood Sandra Lorraine." I sputtered my own spit at ramdam ang kahihiyan ni Lorraine sa pagpula ng mukha niya.

I laughed out loud together with Rossana's scream, "Dilig na dilig ang ating friend!"

"Kailan pa?" Tanong ni Ellena sa kaibigan namin at binigyan siya ng patagilid na tingin.

"Months na." Nagtilian uli kami. Gagi masyadong maraming balita ngayon!

Rossana fanned herself, "Okay. Ate, wag mong sabihing meron ka rin? Baka may pamangkin na pala ako ng hindi ko alam ha." 

Ellena looked scandalous at the question before giving Rossana her murderous glare.

"Oh! Si Mark. Mark's decent, he's hot. Medyo hyper pero... bagay kayo El." ngumisi si Lorraine. Trip na trip talaga asarin ang Nanay namin.

"Wag nga kayong highschool." Umiling agad si Ellena at nagreklamo pero walang nakinig.

"Noooo Mark is handsome but he's too... bubbly." Sabi ni Rian.

"Maganda nga yon, you know opposites attract right? Para silang Yin Yang, balanced sila. El is serious, Mark is not. El is responsible, Mark is not. She's innocent while he's not."

Humalakhak si Rossana sa sinabi ni Lorraine, "Judger."

"Believe me, I know Mark William Luna. He was one of Chance's friends when we were in school. Although hindi naman kami nag uusap, anyway, he has a reputation for having a lot of girls."

My alarm bells immediately went off kaya nagsalita na ako, "A lot of girls pala bago binubugaw mo kay El."

Kumibit balikat si Lorraine, "Junior High 'yun. I think matino na siya ngayon... I think."

Napailing nalang ako at napaisip, "James is their friend, bakit hindi mo siya nakilala sa diner?"

"I don't know him. Hindi ko rin siya napapansin sa school if ever he was a student, maybe he was in a different school? Baka abroad? I only cared for myself before Scar." Tumawa siya and I see her squint her eyes at me through the mirror, "Yii curious siya."

"Nagtanong lang!" Napasigaw tuloy ako. Di naman ako curious!

"Nung naiwan kayo sa loob ng kotse, anong pinagusapan niyo?" Tanong ni Rose aat napangisi silang lahat.

Literal mahuhulog na mata ko sa laki, "Nothing."

"That wasn't nothing! I heard him chuckling." Tumitiling sambit ni Rossana.

"What happened in that car?" Bulong ni Ellena.

Inirapan ko sila. Wala naman talagang nangyari, tinanong niya lang ako kung nagsasalita ba ako etc. etc. "Nothing happened, wag kayong OA."

"No no no. Biliiis magkwento ka." Tanong ni Rian sabay palo sa'kin.

"Yung isang 'to nawalan lang ng love life pursigido nang mang chismis ng love life ng iba." Tumawa si Lorraine, and Riri cursed at her.
