"Oh, hello!" greeted Celine.

"Hi!" I answered as I kissed her cheek.

"I missed you!" She said. "Like I don't." I murmured.

She went up to our limo just as it showed up infront of the restaurant.

"C'mon, girls. I'm hungry." Said Violet.

I let out a chuckle then walk with them.

Ang ganda ng restaurant. Ang laki. There are paintings that hung from the walls, bright chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, cool air from the aircon. I can't help but gasp.

Sinalubong kami ng isang lalaki na naka-bow tie. "This way." Turo niya.

Sinundan namin siya at binuksan pa niya ang isang pinto leading to a private table. Away from any other customers.

The lights flashed a dim glow. The delicious smell of the food welcome me in.

Umupo na kami sa table. Celine on my right, Darren on the left. Zoey sat infront of me, beside Kyle and Violet which is beside Brisa.

So far, sa tingin ko close na din sila ni Violet.

"You look gorgeous." Celine commented. "In fact, all of you look gorgeous."

"Mana lang sayo." Sabi ko.

"Hello everyone!" Greeted the lady that appeared to be at the other end of the table. "Today, we're here to have a tiny reunion together with new friends."

"Welcome to the Espanto Family. We're used to celebrate when we gain new friends. Close friends as we treat our relatives."

All of us listened carefully.

"And this, I announce, let the celebration begin!"

Itinaas nila ang mga baso nila, so ginaya ko sila at nakipag-cheers.

So para sa amin pala itong celebration na ito. Dahil malapit na kami sa Espanto Family. Ang bait naman.

I started eating my dinner. Dito nakilala ko ang mga relatives nila. Dito din nila ipinakwento kung paano kami nagkakilala and became friends.

Papanindigan ko na ba to? Ang pagiging 'Best Friend'?.

Sa dinami dami ng pwedeng ma-friend zone, ako pa ang pinili. Saklap.

Pero wala eh, babae ako, hindi ko kayang mag-tapat. Sabi nga nila di na daw bale kung ang babae na ang mag-tapat, eh ayoko naman nun, gusto ko yung kinasanayan ko na ginagawa ng marami. At saka, as if naman na kaya ko no.

Darren snapped his fingers infront of me. "Huy, nakatulala ka jan."

"H-Hindi ah." Sagot ko.

After namin kumain, sabi ng iba na lumabas daw kami sa garden ng restaurant. May mga cottages doon, at doon kami umupo at nagkwentuhan. Nag-laro din kami ng games, well, madali lang naman sila kaibiganin eh.

"Ang lamig no. Pero ang sarap." Sabi ni Celine.

"Korek." Sabi ni Violet.

Inikot ko ang tingin ko. Nakita ko si Zoey at Kyle naguusap habang nakaupo sa grass. Ang sweet. Sila na kaya?

Bigla kong napansin si Brisa. Wala siyang kausap. Nao-O.P. siguro siya. Tumayo ako at nilapitan siya.

"Ang sweet nila no." Sabi niya. Tumango ako.
