His girlfriend

After a couple of hours, finally. I'm done with my exam. I mean entrance exam for college. Until now, I still can't believe that my summer vacation had already ended. I thought I will stay in Isla Naputad for too long. Pero hindi. Nagtagal lang ata kami ng isang linggo roon.

"Grabe. Ang ganda pala talaga roon ano?" I glanced to my friend, Trixie.

Oh. I forgot to mention that I'm with my girl friends right now here in Cafeteria of this University. We are all done with our exams. I'm just waiting for Clover before I decide to go home.

"You should bring us next time. Hindi na si Klaus lang lagi ang isinasama mo." Roxanne demanded.

I rolled my eyes. Kanina pa nila paulit-ulit tinitingnan iyong mga pictures namin sa Isla Naputad at sa San Lorenzo na inupload ko sa Instagram.

"You should've told me you want to come with us pala. I should've invite you." I smirked.

"But you didn't," Liza said like it's really a big deal.

"Duh? How would I know you want to come with us pala—"

"Mygosh, Nicosia! You're with the most hunks and handsome men. Sinong 'di mawiwiling sumama sa inyo? Ano ka ba?!" natatawang ani Trixie.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabing iyon ni Trixie. Ang akala ko gusto nilang sumama kasi gusto nilang marating ang Isla pero basi sa sinabi niya ngayon, parang lumalabas lang na gusto nilang sumama kasi may mga kasama akong mga gwapo na lalaki. Gosh! Ang lalandi naman ng mga 'to.

"Anyway, what's occasion is this? Mukhang masaya ah?" ani Liza at titig na titig doon sa picture naming dalawa ni Dwight.

Kumunot ang noo ko bago ako nag-angat ng tingin sa kanya. "Fiesta, they said."

To be fair enough, it was indeed fun. Sobra akong nag-enjoy noong naroon kami sa lugar na iyon para maki-fiesta. It was so sad nga lang na 'di kami nakapagtagal roon dahil bumuhos ang malakas na ulan noong mga oras na iyon. Nagtuloy-tuloy ang ulan hanggang kinabukasan kaya hindi na kami nakabalik roon para maki-fiesta.

"Kaso hindi kami nagtagal roon." dagdag ko.

Tumango siya at tinaasan ako ng kilay. Kumunot ang noo ko sa naging reaksyon niya.

"You seems very close with Dwight Titus Acosta huh?" She smiled.

Napakurap-kurap ako at pilit inaalam kung saan nanggagaling ang namumuong iritasyon ko kay Liza.

"Of c-course, we're close." sabi ko at nilabanan ang mapanghusga niyang titig ngayon sa akin.

Okay. What the hell, Liza?

"Because you're close with him, I'm expecting you know he's dating someone else while he was engaged to someone too." She said like she really knows what's happening with Dwight's life.

Kumalabog ang dibdib ko at seryosong pinukol ng tingin si Liza. She smiled more. What's wrong with this girl?

Tumikhim ako. "Well, Liza. From what I've heard the engagement is already off. So if he's dating someone now, then it's okay. And also, why our topic goes there?" tumaas na ang kilay ko.

I don't have idea why our topic goes there. Hindi kailan man namin napag-usapan nang ganito si Dwight noon. Isa o dalawang beses ko lang ata narinig ang pangalan ni Dwight na pinag-uusapan nila. Iyon ay noong nakaraang prom pa namin.

Tumawa si Liza. "You're outdated then." She said mockingly.

"What?" I said, irritably.

"Uh yes! I remember. I've read that article that Dwight Titus was engaged with Cornette Montenegro. But I think Nicosia is right. That engagement was immediately went off. Based on what I saw on internet, Cornette is secretly dating a mysterious guy—"
