Maybe, One Day (The Six Ladies Series #1)

Kabanata 9

The next day ay medyo naging busy na. In the morning, we had our class and napaaga ang lunch time because the teachers were aware naman na madami ang nagpe-prepare para sa Foundation Day.

Lunch time, nasa canteen kaming anim. Ares was busy practicing basketball at excused naman sila simulang umaga. Hindi na nga niya ako hinintay sa labas ng gate kanina kasi maaga itong pumasok para mag practice.

"Okay na ba ang music?" tanong ni Danica. We all sat in a long table, medyo maingay ang cafeteria dahil nga lunch time and a lot of students are here.

"Outro na lang then, tapos na." Patrice answered. We started to pick our music last night. We didn't waste time at sinabay na ang pag-edit, Kian made a group chat kagabi at doon kami nag plano, kahit puyat ay worth it naman.

"Very good naman. Sabihin niyo lang sa akin kung may problema o kailangan niyo ng suggestions." Danica assured, she looked at me and Patrice. I smiled at nooded as an answer.

While we were eating ay napansin namin na kanina pa si Ella nakafocus at type ng type sa cellphone niya. She was beside me the whole time pero I didn't looked at her phone dahil privacy niya 'yon.

"Sino ba 'yang ka chat mo, Elaine?" Rhea asked.

"Oo nga, baka mamaya magugulat kami na may jowabels ka na." Shine let out a teasing laugh. Ella just shaked her head and chuckled.

"Wala 'to." Ella turned off her phone at nilagay sa loob ng bag niya.

"Hindi na din masyadong madaldal si Ella." I commented, napalingon agad si Ella sa akin with an amused face. I was just saying what I observed.

"Tama ka, Nyx." Danica agreed. "Palagi na lang busy. Daig mo pa 'yong mga online seller."

"Sorry, busy lang talaga ako promise." Ella smiled at us then, she looked at me. "If you feel that medyo malayo na ako sa grupo, please tell me. Madami lang talaga akong iniisip at ginagawa."

"Ano ba kasi 'yang ginagawa mo't sobrang busy ka?" Patrice asked as she sipped on her frappe.

"Family problems." she sighed, looking down. Natahimik ang lahat dahil sa sagot ni Ella, we stared at each other for a second before letting the topic fade away and we decided na lumabas na lang sa cafeteria.

"May excuse letter na tayo mamayang hapon, we can now practice this whole afternoon." excited na sinabi ni Danica. We all smiled at her, kahit ako ay naexcite na din konti na lang kasi ang oras na natitira dahil next week na ang Foundation Day.

Pumunta muna kami kay ma'am Requiza, she's the teacher in charge sa dance troupe, kukunin kasi namin ang excuse letter para i-present sa afternoon teachers namin.

Thank God, hindi ko muna makikita si sir Rico.
