The Black Dragon Lady (On Going)

5

I was about to enter the garage but my phone rings..

 Oh, it’s just an schedule alarm. I know, I know.

 Pumasok na ako sa White Honda car ko at pinaandar na itong papunta sa Starbucks, doon kasi ako nag-set at dun kami kakain, just taking advantage, hindi pa kasi ako nag-aalmusal kaya doon nalang ang pinili kong lugar para mag-bond kaming tatlo.

 Pagka-park ko ng kotse ko sa parking lot ay may nararamdaman akong parang weird, it’s feels.. Strange? I think someone’s after me, stalking me rather, tss, ewan. I enter the the shop and saw the girls, there they are.

 “Thank god, buti’t maaga ka girl! Aba’t once in a blue moon ka lang maging early bird no!” Hell no, I came early, but to say that I’m a bird? Oh, c’mmon, tsaka, may blue moon ba? Kung meron, please inform me, goodness, hindi ako updated sa mga nangyayare sa mundo. Hindi kaya alien itong mga kaibigan ko? I’m very exhausted now. “Yeah, right, saang planeta ka ba galling at naka-discover ka na ng blue moon? And for god’s sake, I’m not a bird.” They burst laughing out loud, that make’s my eyebrow narrowed. “Why the hell are you laughing at?” Inis kong sabat at binigyan sila ng frustrated look.

 “Umorder ka na nga lang, alam naming gutom ka nanaman.” Emphasizing the word, ‘nanaman. Okay lang naman, wag lang nila akong masabihan ng patay gutom kasi hindi magfi-fit sakin ang word na iyan, they know that no one will believe them.

Umorder na ako agad sa counter, frappe coffee chaka cake lang ang inorder ko, atleast mabusog ako.

“So… What’s with the Mark-thalie issue? I heard he’s courting you sweetly-“ biglang pumasok sa usapan si Megan, “And obviously.” What’s with the emphasizing? Or just being sarcastic? That’s frustrating sweet, “I know right, he’s one of the obvious jerk and maniac.” I know he’s jerk, marami na syang nalanding babae, ikaw ba naman may nakaka-laglag pangang manliligaw o manlalandi, tignan lang natin kung hindi ka mangati sa katulad nya,

“You got it girl! He’s one of the obvious jerk and maniac, besides, maraming nakakakilala sa kanya sa ganung title! My point is, Hindi ka ba takot na mapabilang sa mga babae nya, hindi ka ba natatakot na madungisan yang pagkatao mo?” Woah, makapeste? As far as I know, he doesn’t pest me like what insects do. “Princess is right, paano kung malintikan ka? Well that’s a legendary, no one dares to dirt you and your personality, If someone does, mawawalan ka ng title na ‘Descent Chic’ tapos hindi ka na mapapabilang sa mga taong nirerespeto sa society natin.” Megan is right, too, kaya mahal na mahal ko itong mga babaeng ito dahil maasahan sila sa mga ganitong klaseng problema.

Kumain nalang ako ng inorder ko, dahilan para matahimik sila sa pang-iintriga sakin at sa issue na iyon.

Pagkatapos kong mangalahati sa cake ay nagsalita naman ako,

 “I never lose, I know how to play the game.”

 They’re lips parted, mukhang nakukuha nila ang pinapahayag ko, and the same time.. “What the hell is running in your mind, Nathalie?! You’ll risk your dignity just for nothing?!” Nothing? She didn’t even ask me what’s the reason and why, “You’r insane.” Princess said, and seemed frustrated.

“Just please cut the crap? Kaya ko nga kayo niyaya para mag exhale ng badvibes tapos bibigyan nyo ako ng ka-bullsh*tan?” Naningkit naman ang mga mata nila. “Just trust me and let my plan flaw on it’s way.” Kinindatan ko sila tsaka sila napairap.

Pagkatapos kong maubos ang pagkain ko ay nagpaalam na ako sa kanila, alam din nilang aalis ako, nagkausap na kami tungkol doon at isa ang unang nakaalam ng tungkol sa pag-alis ko, since they are my first friends in highschool.
