*munch munch munch*

"Rachel.."

*munch munch munch*.

Irritated, Wes snatched the tupperware off her hands. "Okay that's enough."

"HOY! BA'T MO INAGAW!?" she tried to steal it back pero tumayo si Wes sa kama at tinaas ang tupperware. "Para kang bata!"

"Sabing tama na e! I can't review properly because of your munching and grinding sounds!"

Rocky rolled her eyes. "Eeehh.. those cookies are so delicious! Work of the devil!"

"And I'm the devil now, huh?"

"Hoy Wesley akin na kasi yan, please?" she pouted.

"No. Magrereview tayo," he said sternly.

Sunday afternoon na ngayon at bukas na ang start ng 3rd quarterly exams sa Charleston. As promised, tutor pa rin ni Wes si Rocky. Nasa bahay sila ngayon ni Wes.. or make that solo nila ang bahay ng lalaki. Nagshopping kasi ang mommy at kapatid nya, if you know what that means XD

"Wes, it's not my fault that you bake beyond yummy goods!" napataas tuloy ang kilay ng kausap. "What? Those chocolate chip cookies are so yummy!"

"Oo na alam kong masarap akong magbake pero kanina ka pa kasi kain nang kain. Halos kabisado ko na nga munching patterns mo."

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Pahingi na, please?"

He tried to look away. "Don't you go cute like that. You know I hate it."

"Dali na kasi! Ang sarap!"

"Review."

Umayos na ng upo si Rocky at kinuha ang list nya. "Fine," she sighed. "Tapos na tayo sa TLE, Computer.. Physics.. El Fili na ang next."

Umupo na rin si Wes sa tabi nya, as in sobrang dikit sa kanya. She didn't mind it, in fact medyo natuwa pa sya dun.

Pero newsflash, hindi pa rin sila ni Wes.

After kasi ng game di na nila ulit napag-usapan yung sinabi ni Rocky. At ang babae, medyo nailang sa sinabi nya. Di nya kasi dapat sasabihin yun that time but it felt right for her. Pero di na nila napag-usapan. After ng chase me scene nila sa game wala na. Magkasama rin sila buong araw kahapon pero ni si Wes hindi nabanggit yun.

*minutes later*

"Wes.. I'm starving," she complained.

"Review. No more cookies."

Umayos sya ng pagkakadapa sa kama. "Eh kasi bakit ka pa gumawa nyan? You made that for me-"

"Di ko yan ginawa para sayo."

"Kahit na! They are really good! I love it! Kaya please penge ulit ako?"

Wes frowned. "Buti pa yung cookies mahal mo, pero ako hindi."

Namula agad si Rocky. "Wes don't be like that!"

"So bakit di ka makapag-I love you sakin?"

"I-I.. sinabi ko na sayo yan diba!"

Sinarado na ni Wes ang libro nya at hinarap si Rocky sa kanya. "Bakit di mo maulit?"

She can't stare back at him. Di rin nya alam kung anong isasagot. "Eh bakit ko ba kailangang ulitin?"

"Kasi akala ko.. panaginip lang yun. Seriously."

That struck her hard. Naguilty tuloy sya sa sinabi nya. "That wasn't a dream Wes. I told you already!"

"Told me what?" he countered, smirking.

"Ay ewan ko sa'yo! Review!" she rested her chin on the book and continued to read. "Pay attention to Basilio. Now."

"Okay fine. Di na kita pipilitin. Basta.. my ears are ready to hear it again. Soon," sumandal sya sa headboard ng kama nya at nagreview.

It took him 6 minutes para kalabitin si Rocky. "What now?" she asked.

Wes tapped the vacant space beside him, signaling her to take that place. Without hesitation, she went and comfortably sat there. "Ahh this is nice," sabi ni Rocky at sumandal sa balikat ni Wes.

Reviewing El Fili is so much better like this.

Si Barbs naman, nagkulong sa kwarto nya for 2 days.

No, it wasn't about the thing last Friday. Gusto lang nyang magconcentrate sa pagrereview for the QT, especially sa Math. Ni hindi nya binuklat ang phone at nag-internet. Todo review lang sya.

"Barbs!" katok ng Ate Cielo nya, na umuwi this weekend. "May cinnamon roll dito sa may pinto. At iced tea. Break muna!"

Iniwan ni Barbs ang Math book at reviewers nya para kunin ang pagkain. Kanina pa sya gutom! Tanda nya tuloy ang sinabi ni Eros Atalia, "Ang utak ay parang tiyan, sumasakit pag walang laman." K walang konek. Umupo sya sa bean bag sa kwarto nya at nagcontemplate. 5 hours straight na pala sya nagrereview. Non-stop.

Then.. she thought about that incident.

-FLASHBACK-

"Believe me Barbs, you can do that. And for the record, you're worth the embarrassment."

Nailang sya sa tingin ni Cyrus. May sinasabi kasi ang mga mata nito. Alam nya kung ano yun, pero ayaw nyang intindihin. Like what she said, she's not capable of those things.

Nagkatitigan lang silang dalawa. Si Cyrus.. naghihintay na may sabihin si Barbs. Na kahit ano. "Barbs? Are you okay?"

Di nagpatinag si Barbs. Pinulot nito yung bato malapit sa paanan nya at binato kay Cyrus. "Are you fcking kidding me!? Okay lang ako!! Dammit!"

"Barbs I--"

"Stop it. Kung anuman yang sasabihin mo, save it for someone who cares. I'm not that someone."

Cyrus' expression hardened. "Bakit ba ayaw mong makinig? Para kang China, ayaw mong pasakop!"

"BAKIT NADAMAY PA ANG CHINA DITO!! DI KA CREATIVE! PWE!!"

"Di mo alam.. kung gano kahirap 'to para sakin Barbs. K--"

"E di sabihin mo! Just this once, para maintidihan kita! T@ngina magkaka-aneurysm mga tao sayo eh!"

"It's really complicated. Ako di ko rin maintindihan minsan."
