Kabanata 1

I'm staying here at the library, reading my favorite book " A Thousand Pieces of You " by Claudia Gray when my phone rang.

I don't know if I should answer it. I don't want any disturbance right now, but it's just Quinno, though.

"Hey Mags! where are---- uy Cielo!" I was shocked nung boses ni Andy ang bumungad sa akin at mukhang nag- aagawan pa sila ng telepono ni Cielo.

"Mags, punta na kasi tayo please. We're not going there to get wasted, I promise. Ipakikilala na ni Penelope yung lalake niya," Cielo said, trying hard to convince me. I giggled at the word "lalake niya".

They're all excited cause finally Penelope will introduce someone to us, they kept on bugging me about it. I'm also excited pero may nais sana akong gawin mamaya.
"Cielo, I have plans later," I simply told her that.

"Please Mags, just move it tomorrow. Baka maghiwalay na sila at di mo na makita ang lalake ni Penelope. I know you're also curious about that guy so come on!" she said. It's been months nung nalaman namin na may kinikita si Penelope na lalake. It's not just an ordinary guy dahil mukhang seryoso siya rito.

Tahimik ang klase ng may biglang kumatok. Ang lahat ay napatingin sa may pinto, kumunot ang noo nang natanaw ko ang isang pamilyar na babae. Penelope.

why are you late this time?

Penelope said sorry to our professor before proceeding to her seat. I heard Andy whispering to her. Medyo napalakas ang pagbulong nito na kahit ang tatlo na sina Quinno, Niko at Cielo ay nadinig ito.
"You smells like alcohol, where have you been?" We're all waiting for her to respond, but to our dismayed she just ignored his questions and glued her eyes in front.

I smell something fishy about Penelope, she's been keeping her mouth shut for the entire class which is odd. Itinuon ko nalang ang atensiyon ko sa klase at binalewala ang napansin sa kaibigan.

Pagkatapos ng klase ay napag- usapan namin na sa labas kami kakain ng lunch. Palabas na kami ng hilain ko si Quinno. "What do you think about Penelope?" I asked him, she's really weird today.

"Is she sick? wait I'll ask her," tanong niya pabalik sa akin. Sumabay siya sa paglalakad kay Penelope at tinanong ito. "What happened to you?" tanong ni Quinno. Imbes na si Penelope ang sumagot ay si Nikolai. Bigla kaming napatigil sa paglalakad dahil sa pagharap niya sa amin.

"Guys, I want all of your attention," saad niya sa amin na tila may nangyayaring pagtitipon dito sa hallway. Sa lakas ng kaniyang boses ay napapatingin sa amin ang ibang estudyanteng dumadaan.

"I saw Penelope at a bar last night, but he's not alone!" Nikolai said, bigla namang tumutol si Penelope but Cielo shut her mouth using her hand. "Continue" Cielo told Nikolai.

"The great Penelope was dragged by a man, A MAN. Kailan ka pa tumiklop sa mga lalake ha?" Nikolai asked na may bahid na kuryusidad, bigla namang tumawa si Quinno kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya. Inakbayan niya lamang ako.

Nang napansin kong tahimik si Andy ay inilibot ko ang tingin ko. Amusement was all over his face, his mouth forming a letter "o". Bigla lamang pinasukan ng tissue ni Cielo ang bibig ni Andy. Inis niya naman itong iniluwa.

"Ba't nagkaroon ka bigla ng tissue?" asar na tanong ni Andy kay Cielo. "Ginamit ko pamunas sa laway ni Penelope, wag kang maarte,"sagot naman nito sa aming kaibigan. Nagpatuloy na kami sa paglalakad. Penelope remained silent kaya mas lalo siyang kinukulit ng tatlo.
