Prince Chase Olivar's POV

|KINABUKASAN|

"Hahaha he was so funny dude! You should have seen his face!" pangaasar pa ni Andrei kay Troy na mukhang umuusok na ang tenga.  "He was so afraid of the cockroach! Pssshh hahaha"

"Shut up, Drei."

"Hahahaha nahihiya ka ba Troy?!" si Rich na ngayon lang muling nakausap ng maayos.  I stayed quiet not wanting Troy to get mad at me as well.  They continued teasing each other until our topic went to Reid who was still absent since he and his family went of town for vacation.

"I gotta admit it, namimiss ko ang panglimang miyembro natin."  Andrei.

"Yah Reid is a fun person to be with!" Rich.

"Hi mga fafa!!"  JM said happily. Mylene, Nia, and Laura went in the line to order some food since they were late for the break time.  "Narinig ko ang usapan niyo at korek kayo! Namimiss ko narin si Reid eclavu!"  He looked up and pouted his lips while he sighed heavily.  When the girls came Laura sat in Nia's usual place while Nia sat on Mylene's place who is now sitting on Reid's place.  I guess its because of Nia's and Troy's argument yesterday.

Troy is a hot headed person and even if he was wrong he would'nt admit it in front of you but he would find way to apologize.  We all acted as if everything was fine even if an awkward silence breaks in most of the time.  Mabilis natapos ang araw hanggang sa nagsiuwian na kami ng makita ko si Laura at Nia na papalabas.

"Guys!" I shouted because they wouldn't be able to hear me with the crowd's noise.  "May lakad kayo?"

"K-Kami?"  Nia asked while pointing herslef and Laura.  "Pauwi na kami, ano ka ba! Di kami katulad niyong mayaman na may pang gastos!"  she explained.

"You should stop saying 'mayaman' kapag kausap mo kami, ayaw namin ng ganon because we believe that everyone is equal.."

I don't like it when others calls me rich or something like that.  Its not only weird but because I believe that its an inappropriate term to use.

Napatingin naman ako kay Laura ng mahina itong tumango.  There is something about her eyes and smile that makes me have this weird tingling feeling.  I have to admit that Laura is indeed beautiful in her unique way.  She might not have a perfectly smooth, white skin like Mylene or as charming as Nia is but she is damn-- What the fuck is happening to me?

"Huy! Tulo laway mo!" biglang sabi ni Nia.  I quickly looked away and slowly checked my mouth.  Naglaway talaga ako?!

"Uy! Prince ah I smell something fishy hihi!"  pangaasar ni Nia. Napailing na lang ako habang si Laura ay tahimik lang tumatawa ng mapatingin siya sa may bandang gate dahilan para sundan ko ang kanyang tingin.

And there I saw a tall, good looking guy smiling at Laura while slowly opening his arms as if asking her a hug.  The next thing I saw shocked me when I saw Laura smile genuinely and run into the guy's arm to embrace him.

They both look so happy seeing each other.  Its like they haven't seen each other in a million years but who is he? bakit sila magkayakap ni Laura?

"Bye Prince, u-una na kami."

May boyfriend na ba si Laura?

Pero wala naman siyang nakwento samin ah?

Di ba si Reid yung best friend niya?

Sino ba kasi ang lalaking yun?

Natahimik ako ng ilang minuto ng mapansin kong wala na pala sila Nia. Nang dahil sa aking pagiisip ay hindi ko na rin namalayan ang kanilang pagalis.  After a few while I decided to stay in my car and think of the things that happened earlier.. was I jealous?

Laura's POV

Nagulat ako ng makita ang pamilyar na mukha sa may labasan ng school. Nakangiti siya sakin habang unti unting bumubukas ang kanyang mga braso para yakapin ako.  Hindi na ako nagaksaya pa ng oras dahil namimiss ko na rin naman siya.  Hindi na rin siguro ako napansin nina Nia at Prince dahil naguusap pa sila.

Yinakap ko ng ubod ng higpit si Led habang nakaangiti ng pagkatamistamis. Matagal ko na rin siyang hindi nakasama.

Miss ko na ang pang aasaran namin. Lalo na ang mga harutan at kung paano siya maglambing, pati na rin ang pagiging pilosopo at ugok nitong isang to.

"Let's go?"  tanong niya habang naka akbay sakin at hinatak na ako sa kotse. Pagkalabas namin ay nagitla ako ng makita si Reid na nakasandal sa kanyang kitse at tinatapik ang kanyang paa.  Lumapit ako sa kanya at yinakap siya habang siya ay tatatawang inakap ako ng mahigpit.

"Kailan ka pa dumating?"

"In the morning, I waited for him." sabi niya sabay turo sa lalaking papalapit na samin.  "Why? Missed me?" sabi niya na nakapagpangiti sakin.

"Désanos ir?"

(translation: let us go?)

Mabilis naman akong hinatak ni Led at dinala sa sumunod na kotseng nakaparada.  Isang Black Mustang V6 Coupe.

Napangiti ako ng makita ang kanyang bagong kotse na nasa gilid.  "I knew you'd be happy once you see this. Wanna drive?"

Mabilis akong tumango sabay abot sa susi na kanyang inihagis.  Pagkapasok ay nagngitian lang kami bago ko binuksan ang makina at inihanda ang kotse sa aking pagmamaneho.  Mula sa vintage look interiors, three hundred five horsepower and six-speed manual transmission, sinong hindi magugustuhan na imaneho to.

Bago pa man ako magsimula ay muli kong inalala ang masasayang alaala na mga nangyari kasama si Led.  Hindi ko siya nakita ng halos dalawang taon dahil sa kinailangan na niyang asikasuhin ang kanyang negosyo at dahil narin sa mga problemang aming hinarap noon.

"Te extraño tanto, hermanita."

(translation: i miss you so much)

Muli kong yinakap ang panganay bago pinaharurot ang minamanehong kotse paalis ng eskuwelahan.  Masaya akong muling makita si Led Monteverde, ang seryoso at kinatatakutan na panganay ng dalawa pang nakababatang Monteverde.
