Allexa's POV
"Sino yung mga kasama mo kanina?" tanong ko kay Allen nung hindi ko na mapigilan ang dila ko. Tumingin siya sa akin with a small smile and answered:
"Friends".
"Ahh," sabi ko sabay nod ng dahan dahan, tumingin na naman siya sa labas ng window while I fiddled with my thumbs.
Baka mainis siya sa akin kung bobombahin ko siya ng questions, will he? I mean, hindi ko pa siya nakitang nainis sa akin, pero sabi nga nila, there's always a first time for everything.
Bahala na.
"Kailan mo pa sila naging kaibigan? Saan mo sila nakilala? Mababait ba sila tulad ng mga kuya mo? Ay wait, yung ibang kuyas mo lang pala. Saan sila nakatira? May mga—"
"Huy!" tawag sa akin ni Kurt kaya napatigil ako sa pagtatanong, "isulat mo nalang kaya sa papel, isa isa lang naman, maawa ka sa bat—sa tao" he almost said 'bata', awww! Hindi na bata si Allen sa paningin niya! Huhubels!
"Oo isulat mo sa papel, kung gusto mo lagyan mo rin ng true or false at multiplication choice para sulit" dagdag ni Nathaniel.
"Ano'ng multiplication choice? Baka naman multiple choice koya?" tanong ko and he thought for a moment.
"Yun din yun, tinanggalan mo lang ng ilang letters" he said and went back to his phone.
"I swear bigla kong namiss sina Pekto just now" I said to myself while shaking my head.
"Bryce oh! Nangangaliwa si Lexa!" sumbong ni Nathaniel habang tinuturo ako, para siyang batang nagsusumbong, kaya naman itinaas ko yung isang paa ko't sinubukan siyang sipain pero nahuli niya ako't hinila pa ako lalo, I wasn't wearing anything on my foot kaya naman kiniliti niya ako.
"Bryce oh!!" sumbong ko while trying not to laugh while doing my best to pull back my foot. Bryce just grunted and tried to go back to sleep.
"Anuba! tumigil nga kayo! Ang ingay!" reklamo ni Kurt.
"Tigil!" sigaw din ni Jason. Nagsisigawan na kaming apat pero nagawa parin ni Bryce na makatulog. "Mababangga tayo niyan eh!" reklamo niya.
"Siya kasi!" sabay naming sabi ni Nathaniel but we kept on moving, trying to hit each other.
"Ahhh! Mas lumalala kayo!!" sigaw ni Kurt.
Allen's POV
It's so noisy. But I didn't complain. Mas mabuti na iyon para hindi na ako tatanungin ni ate Lexa. I took the chance to text my friends-other friends.
I can't let my kuyas and ates know about this. Lalo na't iniwan na nila yung ganitong buhay. It's my turn to protect them as they have protected me these past years.
"Anyway-" said ate Lexa kaya bumalik agad yung ngiti ko, biglang tumahimik sa loob, "nagugutom na ako. Jason, kain na nga muna tayo please?"
I looked around pero hindi ko na makita si kuya Tan, until I heard someone moaned below the seat kaya sinilip ko, nasa floor pala si kuya Tan and he's holding his groin, baka sinipa ni ate Lexa.
"Kakain? Ang aga aga ah?" asked kuya Jason pero he already turned to the road going to Mcdo 24/7.
"Syempre!" siksik ni kuya Tan na sinusubukang umakyat sa upuan niya while holding his junior, "Baboy eh" he continued.
"Ikaw, kanina ka pa ah!" reklamo ni ate Lexa and tried to grab kuya Tan's hair pero agad siyang umiwas at sumiksik sa pagitan nina kuya Jason at kuya Kurt.
"Ninja moves!" sigaw niya habang iniiwasan yung mga kamay ni ate Lexa, how did she get there anyway? Katabi ko lang siya ah.
"Tan! Hindi ako makakambyo!" reklamo ni kuya Jason.
"Rasengan!" sigaw ni kuya Tan and threw an invisible Big Ball Rasengan to ate pero she just grabbed his hand and hit him.
"Ano ba! Mamamatay ako ng maaga dahil sa inyo ah!" reklamo ni kuya Kurt, giving kuya Tan a big slap behind his head.
But they didn't stop.
Halos nagpagewang gewang na yung sasakyan.
They started bickering again, saktong nakareceive ako ng message, pero kay Ashley galing.
'Len, gising ka pa? Bakit iniiwasan mo na naman ang mga messages ko?' she asked. Tinignan ko lang yung message niya, I took a deep breath and kept my phone away.
She can't be involved.
Konting tiis lang, matatapos din 'to.
Few moments later..
Allexa's POV
Thankfully, magkalayo kami ni Nathaniel ng upuan, kung hindi, baka hindi lang yung 'junior' (according to Allen) niya ang masipa ko. Ewan ko ba, lumalala naman na ata siya.
"'Pag ako hindi maka-anak, magdodonate ka ng limang babies sa akin" banta niya sa akin while applying ice pack down there.
"Ano ako? Baboy?" tanong ko.
"Ops! Di na sa akin nanggaling yun ah!" natatawa niyang sinabi, I gave up.
"Hindi mo ba talaga gigisingin yung asawa mo?" asked Kurt and we all looked outside the window, our car was just parked in front of the building.
"Hayaan niyo na, beauty rest niya yan eh" I said. They all shrugged their shoulders and went back to eating. "Pero sandali," I continued and looked at Allen who is sitting across us, siya lang ang nasa other side of the table. Jason and Kurt need to sit between Nathaniel and I kasi, iniiwasan na naming ma-band from any establishments. "Hindi mo pa sinasagot yung tanong ko kanina" I pointed my fork to him.
"Speak! Or forever hold your peace." ginaya ni Nathaniel yung gesture ko.
"Uhhh, I will forever hold my peace nalang kuya, hehe" Allen answered with a cute smile.
"You and your big mouth" sabi ko kay Nathaniel.
"Bakit na naman!?" He asked as he dramatically slammed his fork on the table, "ako na naman ang may kasalanan? Ako na inosente? Ako na gwapo? Ako? Ako? Ako?" drama niya, "My brother is not a pig!" he added and I laughed.
"You're good" sabi ko't naghigh-five kami.
"Bilisan niyo na ngang kumain, may pupuntahan tayo" siksik ni Kurt bago ko pa dagdagan ni Nathaniel ang silly acting niya.
"Oooh, interesting, saan?" I asked and tried to act cutely, but they cringed, kaya I dropped the acting. "That used to work before, hindi na kayo nakyukyutan sa akin?" drama ko.
"No." they answered in unison. I dropped my head in defeat.
"May alam akong lugar kung saan tayo makakapanood ng sunrise." said Kurt and I lifted my head.
"Beach!" sabay naming sigaw nina Nathaniel at Allen while throwing our hands up.
"Better" he promised.
"Yeah!" sigaw uli naming tatlo.
"Gising na kaya si Mary Jane?" biglang siksik ni Jason while looking at his phone, he just whispered it, unconsciously ata.
"Bro," tawag ni Nathaniel, "Bros only" he reminded and looked at me, "Bros" diin niya. Loko 'to ah.
"Ahh so maiiwan tayong dalawa?" tanong ko and the three guys snorted.
"True sis!" he said, acting like a girl, ayaw niyang magpatalo ah.
"Teka nga," siksik uli ni Jason, putting his phone down at tumingin siya sa akin, "kanina ko pa napapansin ah, naglilihi ka ba kay Nathaniel?"
Nabulunan si Kurt sa spag niya.
Nabulunan si Allen sa Mcfloat niya.
Uminom ng coke si Nathaniel at sinadyang nabulunan.
I just stared at them.
They stared back at me.
"Holy sh*t" said Nathaniel.
