*Noah’s PoV*
The day before Isabel went back to Satella High nakausap ko sya and since then… She kept on helping me on how to get back Ryllie… we all wanted the old her back… Dumerecho kami sa starbucks pagkasundo ko sa kanya… she told me that she’ll be staying with Rylle for a while.
“as I was saying… I missed you guys… lalong lalo na si Jarred… hahahahah kidding” Sabi nya sabay inom sa frappe nya. Not much has changed in her physical appearance except she became more tan, and her hair was darker this time.
“You and Ryllie… under a single roof… that’s like a total wreck dude!” sinamaan nya lang ako ng tingin.
“Hey I’m kidding.” Sumimangot nalang sya bigla… she toyed with her hair at iniikot ikot nya ito sa mga daliri nya. Nakatingin sya sa kalsada sa labas.
“no really… iniisip ko palang yung nangyari nung araw nay un… sighs…” I forced a smile.
“there’s no one to blame… it’s all me…”
“stop covering it up. It’s okay… alam ko naman na ako talaga ang dahilan kung bakit ka nya iniwan… seriously tho… I came back to fix things… but we need to fix things quick… I only have a span of a month or two… I just don’t know when… after that I’ll be back to Hawaii…” Tuluyan na talagang nawala ung ngiti ko sa mukha.
“pero pano kayo ni Jarred? I thought you love him.” napangiwi sya bigla. She looked straight into my eye and scoffed.
“I do… and look what my love for him has brought you guys…”
“stop thinking that way—“ tumayo sya sa upuan nya at tinignan yung wristwatch nya
“It’s already 6, I have to be at ryllie’s before 7… sige see you tomorrow Noah… Just trust me… I’ll be fixing things.” I watched her as she took a cab. Sana nga lang may mangyari…. I mean… argh… Love is weird. REALLY weird.

Minutes before I asked Ryllie pumayag na sya… sabi nya libre daw sila this Saturday. Guess Isabel’s plan’s are pretty much working.
“Hey dude… what’s with the smile?” tanong sa akin ni Jarred nasa clinic kami ngayon. Malamig kase ditto naka full blast yung aircon. Kinuha ni Jarred yung phone ko… tss… To kase ayaw pang umamin kay Isabel na gusto nya rin naman… Pinapahirapan pa si Sab e.
“ah. May date pala kayo sa Saturday.”Hinagis nya uli yung phone ko sa akin. At humiga dun sa Medical bed.
“Minsan napapaisip ako… Kung gusto mo ba si Isabel… o gusto mo ba si ryllie….lahat nalang kase ng parang lumalapit sa akin… pinag seselosan mo. Ahahahaha” Napatingin uli ako sa kanya, pero nakapikit na yung mga mata nya.
*Ryllie*
Dumaan ang tatlong araw at wala pa ring ibang bibig sila Angela kungdi yung date namin ni Noah, I mean yung play date ng kapatid naming ni Noah. Si Isabel naman… ayun… may parang gustong ipahiwatig sa akin everytime na mag kikita kami… tsk.
At sila Thea, wala pa ring pagbabago…
“oh my god! I just remembered… Friday ngayon so It means Saturday na bukas… so it means bukas na yung date nyo ni Noah!! Oh my freaking gosh!!” Nagulat nalang ako at sumigaw ng malakas si Hartley sa kalagitnaan ng discussion naming sa physics.
“Vergara. Out. Now” sigaw ng teacher naming nasa menopausal stage.
“shut up you old hag.” AT nag make face sya.
“Rylle… may sosootin ka nab a?” tanong sa akin ni Sam, Tumango nalang ako at tumingin sa kanila.
“what exactly are you going to wear?” Tanong nila nelle at angela… sht. It just happens that I’m actually friends with one of the fashion polices at Satella.
“uhm… jeans and a white tee. Tas converse…” the four of them exchanged glances…
“Are you for reals? You’re going put with Noah Valenzono and you’re going to wear… those? THAT’S A BIG NO DEAR.” Hinawakan ni angela ung ballpen nya ng mahigpit… grabe… ganun ba sila na fr-frustrate sa style ko?
“what do you expect? We’re going on a amusement park… what do you want me to wear? A dress or something?” tumango silang apat like a complete retard. Tong mga to talaga.
“Malamang… can you imagine yourself kissing on the love tunnel and you’re just wearing a simple tee and a jeans… dapat maganda kaaaaa dun girl… like as In dapat super ganda kaaaa… pero di ko naman sinasabing di ka maganda pero kasi… You don’t know when’s the next time opportunities will come knocking at your door.” Nagulat nalang kami nang sumali na si Isabel sa usapan naming… uh…
“I hate to break it but…. Why the hell are you interfering with us? You’re not in our clique… so shooooo” Iritableng saad ni Hartley, and then the next thing I knew the 5 of them were laughing… how can an insult become a compliment? Tss seriously.
“But she has a point. Ahahahaha you should sit with us at lunch today. “ sabi ni angela, sumang ayon naman sila Sam… hangang sa di na namin namalayang nakatayo nap ala sa harap naming yung teacher namin.
“Fernandez, Florendo, vergara, Manalac, Catingko. Alam nyo na siguro kung anong dapat nyo gawin.” Lumabas kaming anim… then we burst out in laughter…
“You guys should have taken a look at Thea’s face nung narinig nyang may date kayo!! Ahahahahah” hysterical na sinabi ni Isabel. Tawa lang kami ng tawa hanggang sa….
“Bakit parang wala si Noah?” lahat sila binigyan ako ng makahulugang tingin…
Maybe being back to Satella Isn’t that bad…
“what?”
