I don’t care anyway.
Pft. That sucks, you know? Nakakainis talaga! Kumukulo talaga ang dugo ko eh. As if Andrew calling her was not pissing me off enough, she had to refer to me as just someone. Dude, that’s nuts! It’s really driving me crazy, man!
Nilapitan ko na lang si Avah na talon ng talon sa tuwa habang tinuturo yung mga kabayo na binarbecue at paikot ikot. Naramdaman ko na lang bigla si Nicolle sa tabi ko. Hinawakan niya ako sa may balikat at dahil sa inis, I shrugged it off.
I was kind of expecting her to react… I don’t know, maybe to retaliate. Sigawan ako pero hindi. Kalmado lang niyang sinabi sa akin na, “Pay.”
Sumimangot ako habang pinapanood yung mga batang tuwang tuwa na nakasakay sa mga kabayo. So feeling ng mga to nangangabayo sila? Bakit ba niloloko ang mga bata?! Ah! At yung lalaking naka-green. Bakit siya naka-green? Eh red nga sapatos niya eh. Ano yan, Pasko? Tapos tong babaeng to bakit to kumakain ng ice cream?! Anong karapatan niya?!
Ahhh!
Sa sobrang inis ko pati ibang tao kinaiinisan ko na eh.
Panay akong mag-tss habang naka-cross arms at nakasimangot ng sobra. Napansin siguro to ni Nicolle kasi tinanong niya ako kung okay lang ako.
“Yeah. I’m perfectly fine,” I spat, sarcastically.
“Okay, then. Pay for—“
“You know what, it’s your idea. Why don’t you pay for it?” iritado kong sabi. “And by the way, I ain’t ridin shit.”
Napanganga siya. Nagkatitigan kaming pareho for a long time.
“Hey,” sabi niya habang nakasimangot. “Watch your words. You’re with a kid.”
“So fucking what?! I fucking say what I wanna fucking say!” I smirked. “Hey Avah. Do you know what fu—“
Biglang tinakpan ni Nicolle ang bibig ko. “What’s wrong with you?!”
“Nothing. Nothing’s wrong with me! I told you, I’m perfectly fine!” sagot ko nang tanggalin na niya ang kamay niya mula sa bibig ko. I looked down, licking the inside of my cheeks, my nostrils flaring. “No, Nicolle. What is wrong with you?! We’re on a date. We’re with a kid. And Andrew’s fucking calling you. Then you’re asking me what the hell is wrong with me?! You must be—“
“You’re just jealous! Damn, Blake. You’re still not over that?!”
“Yes! I’m jealous! So what? And I’m still not over that…. this. So what?!”
“Move on, Blake. I’m with you. What else do you want?”
“He’s calling you and you answered it. You answered him. And you told him you’re with someone. Am I just someone to you? Huh? Am I so important that you refer to me as someone? Some random citizen? Just someone?!”
“Blake, you know what? I’m just tired of this. Everytime—“
“It’s just so fucking insulting Nicolle! I’m—“
“—No Blake! Everytime I talk to him. Everytime I go near him. Everytime I hang out with him…. you act like you don’t trust me!”
“No, Nicolle, listen to me—“
Hindi na lang ako nakinig sa mga sinasabi niya o sinasabi ko. Basta tuloy tuloy lang kami sa pagsisigawan sa gitna ng mall, not minding the people around. Siguro pinag-uusapan na kami ng mga to eh. Baka nga vini-video-han pa kami.
Napansin ko na pointless na ang pinagtataluhan naming ni Nicolle kaya tumigil na ako. Pero si Nicolle, tuloy tuloy pa din. Tumingin ako sa paligid at napansing—
