Chapter 8
"Guess what?" nagulat ako nang biglang pumasok si Julie sa kwarto ko. She flopped down my bed and hugged my pillow.
"What?" tanong ko saka pinihit ang swivel chair ko to look at her.
"Talked to Cielo awhile ago."
"Seryoso?!" di makapaniwalang tanong ko. Pinaandar ko ang upuan ko para makalapit sa kama at nakita kong nakangisi siya sa akin. "How?! Why?! Where?! When?!"
"Woah! Hold your horses cowboy! Chillax, bru." pigil niya sa akin.
"Eh paano nga kasi?" tanong ko. Pasuspense naman kasi to eh.
"Well. She was actually the one who talked to me first. Bwahahahaha. Kasi ganito yun. Diba nga opening na sa Friday. Tapos nagtanong siya kung kailangan daw ba ng photobooth ganun. Edi ako naman si mapagsamantala. Sabi ko kailangan yun pero sa acquaintance party pa. So, she told me na for free na daw yun since family business naman nila yun. And bam! Hahahaha." kwento niya.
"You are so awesome, bru!" sabi ko saka ko siya dinaganan at niyakap. "Galing mo talaga." dagdag ko and even gave her chicken kisses.
"Hahaha. Ako pa ba, bru? Ikaw lang naman tong walang bilib saken eh. Haha. And oo nga pala. I asked her to have coffee with me after school bukas and pumayag siya." nakangiting sabi niya.
"Astig ka talaga!" sabi ko. I hugged her again at nagpagulong-gulong kaming dalawa sa kama. "What will I do without you?" sabi ko.
"Maybe you'll grow old without a wife." sabi niya.
"You're right. Hahaha. Thank you Ms. Cupid. So alam mo na ba kung paano ako ipapakilala sa kanya?" tanong ko.
"Hm. Not yet. Let's wait. Kasi alam mo, if she likes you, she'll ask questions about you naman. Without me starting the topic ha. Basta if interested naman yung girl sayo edi siya na mismo bahalang magtanong about sayo." sagot niya.
"You're right. So bukas? What will I do tomorrow? Sasama ba ko? Susunduin ba kita? Ano?" tanong ko.
Naeexcite ako kahit na alam ko namang di ako makakasama sa kanila. Pero the fact na Cielo and Julie will be friends and soon, pwede ko na ligawan si Cielo? Exciting to!
"Chill! I think I'll bring my car tomorrow. I kinda miss it already." sagot niya.
"Ganun?"
"Yeah. Dito ako uuwi after namin dun. Syempre I'll report to you." nagtaas-baba pa siya ng kilay as she says that.
"Okay. I guess I'll just wait here tomorrow." sabi ko.
"Yup. But now, you should probably get off me coz you're kinda heavy." aniya.
"Ano? Ako mabigat?" tanong ko saka ko pa siya dinaganan.
"Ugh! Bru ang bigat mo! You're heavier than a pig!" angal niya pero mas lalo ko lang siyang dinaganan. "Fck! Elmo! Mabigaaaaaaaaat!!!"
"Hahahahahaha. Oo na." sabi ko and rolled to the other side of the bed. "I'm not fat, bru. I'm just full of muscles."
"Yuck! Feeling macho naman to. Hahaha." sabi niya. "Anyway. I'm going to PeeWee's room. She was actually the one who wanted me here. Medyo nagtagal lang ako sa pagkkwento ko sayo." sabi niya saka na tumayo at nag-ayos ng ponytail.
"What does my little sister want from you?" I asked her.
"She's asking me about stuffs."
"What stuffs?"
Ngumisi siya and looked at me na parang nang-aasar.
"It's for us to know and for you to find out." sabi niya saka na nagmadaling lumabas ng kwarto ko.
