"MISAO. MISAO! MAY TRICK AKO SAYO!" I watched as Toshiro excitedly laid 9 coins on my table and then arranged them so that there were 4 coins across and 5 coins going down. Dumb smile playing on his lips. "Ayan! Kapag nagawa mo ito, makikinig ako sa kahit anong request mo. Kapag hindi, Ikaw naman ang makikinig sa request ko. Call?"

My eyes travelled from his face to the coins on my table. "Anong dapat gagawin?"

"Kailangan mo iarrange ang coins na may tig-limang coins pataas at pababa, pero isang coin lang ang pwede mong galawin."

"Okay." I stared at the coins and thought for a second. Then I lifted the fifth coin from the line that was going down then placed it on top of the first coin. With that, may limang coin na pababa at may limang coin na rin pakanan. Tinignan ko ulit si Toshiro at bakas sa mukha niya ang hindi pagkapaniwala na nagawa ko yung trick nya.

"Ha?! Alam mo, Misao?"

"Ginawa mo na yan dati." I gave him a small but mocking smile.

His eyes widen. "Ginawa ko na sayo 'to dati?"

I shrugged as I turned my back on him. "Bumalik ka na sa pwesto mo dadating na si Sir."

Nagmamadali naman siya ulit pumunta sa harapan ko. "Hindi nga? Ginawa ko na sayo yung trick dati? Hindi ko maalala."

"Hindi sa'kin pero nakita ko nang ginawa mo yan."

With that, natigilan siya at nag-isip.

"TOSHIRO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY." Bati ni Youjin kay Toshiro ng makalapit sila ni Eisuke sa table namin. They are our friends from another department and Youjin is Keita's boyfriend. Mula ng naging si Youjin at Keita, palagi na rin namin sila kasama kapag breaktime. Their friendship and relationship had been ambiguous right from the start that they suffered great pains just to be where they are now. It was never easy to admit that kind of love. Somehow, deep down in my heart, I'm envious of their courage.

"Thank you, Youjin. Sama ka mamaya, ha? Magcecelebrate tayo."

"Hmmmm..." Tumingin si Youjin kay Eisuke, I think mentally asking him if he'll come too. Youjin and Eisuke are best friends.

"Youjin, sumama ka. Kapag hindi ka sumama, siguradong hindi din sasama si Keita." Fumihiro said from across Youjin.

"Hindi talaga ako sasama kapag hindi sumama si Youjin." Sagot ni Keita pagkatapos nya akbayan si Youjin.

Eisuke made a face at him. "Ang clingy..."

"Eisuke..." Suway ni Youjin sa kaibigan.

"Ano naman kung clingy? Inggit ka lang." Sagot ni Keita kay Eisuke. Right, para silang aso at pusa. Minsan hindi namin maintindihan kung in good term ba sila o hindi.
