XL 35

I'm not saying that Treble did nothing wrong. He made mistakes that night but what I'm trying to say is that he went through a lot, too. I can't ignore that.

I knew he got sick but I had no idea that it happened right after I slapped him and left— which kind of tugs at my conscience dahil pakiramdam ko ay kasalanan ko, kahit hindi naman.

He then probably looked for me after that so he could apologize, but I wasn't there. Nasa Cavite na ako nu'n at tinatamasa ang hagupit ng lola ko.

"Don't mind me." Sabi ko at saka inexcuse ang sarili ko para magbanyo. Go and fix yourself, Denzel! How can you break down in the cafeteria just like that?

Pumasok ako sa comfort room at naghilamos pero pagkapa ko sa bulsa ng palda ko ay wala pala akong dalang panyo. Kamalasan ba ang tawag dito o katangahan?

The cubicle's door behind me flew open and a face I so freaking recognize reflected on the mirror in front of the sink. Serenity Acosta...

"You stare at me like you're looking at a ghost or something." She commented, sa girly at high-pitched niyang boses.

I snapped out of it and stepped aside, kasi mukhang gagamit rin siya ng lababo.

"Why aren't you wiping your face? Wala ka bang panyo?" Tanong niya.

"I forgot to bring one," sagot ko naman.

Kumuha siya ng tatlong piraso ng tissue mula sa box ng Kleenex na dala niya at binigay ito sa akin, which I accepted without hesitation. Iba si ateng, box talaga ng tissue ang bitbit. Ayaw pakabog.

"Thank you." Sabi ko pa.

Tinitigan niya ako habang pinupunasan ko ang mukha ko.

"I know you," she suddenly revealed. "I saw you with Treble a couple of times."

"Did you?" I replied nonchalantly.

"Oo, sa cafeteria, sa gate, sa hallway..." She enurmerated. "...and you seem pissed whenever he's around. Hindi mo ba talaga siya gusto? I want an honest answer."

And who are you to demand that from me? I groaned internally.

"What's it to you?" Sagot ko.

"What's it to me? It's simple. Kung ayaw mo sa kaniya, sa akin siya mapupunta. Well, joke lang. Kahit anong mangyari, he has to be with me." Maarteng sagot ng punyeta.

Oh, talaga? Sa taas ng confidence niya, hindi mapagkakaila na magkapatid nga sila ni Sven. But atleast Sven is not a bitch.

"Paano kung gusto ko rin siya?" Sabi ko.

"Then I'll give you a year. Kung hindi pa kayo kasal sa loob ng isang taon, I'll get him from you for sure."

My mouth fell. She's crazy.

"Maluwag ba ang turnilyo mo? Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng kagaya mo. Hindi ito teleserye, ineng. Pero baka akalain mo naman na bahag ang buntot ko kaya sige... challenge accepted." Sabi ko.

She gave me a smug look. "Good luck, Denzel Gazmin."

"I should be the one saying that, Serenity Acosta." Sagot ko at saka kinuha ang kamay niya para ilagay doon ang ginamit kong tissue. "Salamat dito. Highly appreciated."

At saka ako lumabas ng banyo. Damn, I was supposed to continue my breakdown or at least pull myself together but instead, I got myself into a ridiculous deal with Sven's sister. My god, Denzel! Kasal? Are you serious?!
