Something's Never Changed

II

I'm on my way to the room for my next subject when I heard someone mention my name.

"Di kaba nagsasawa kakabuntot dyan kay Naiga. Dinaig mo pa aso kung makabuntot sa kanya"

"Mananahimik ka Valdez o ikaw ang gagawin kung aso" madiin na sabi ni Bright

Yes. It was Bright and maybe that was his friends.

"Chill boss. Concern lang naman ako eh" sabi nung Valdez

"Kaya nga naman boss. Asan na yung Bright na habulin ng chicks bat nabaliktad na ata ikaw na ngayon ang nang hahabol ng chicks" mungkahi ng isa pa nitong kaibagan with blonde hair at kalaunan ay pinagtatawanan na nila ito.

"Pano ba yan boss mukhang nahanap mo na ang katapat mo" Valdez

Nanlilisik ang mga mata ni Bright na tumingin sa dalawa niyang kaibigan.

"One more word or else I'll rip both your freaking mouth part" he said to his friends.

Napataas na lamang ng mga kamay ang dalawa nitong kaibigan na parang sinasabing suko na.

Boss? Leader ba siya ng isang gang or what?
And the way he talk to his friends parang nakakatakot siya tumingin at magsalita. Is this the other side of him?

"pero seryoso na Bright. Are you hitting her for real or not?"

"Why do you think i follow her all over again and being called stalker if I'm not serious? To have fun? Nahh.. Not this time" saad ni Bright

"Shtty tinamaan na talaga si boss" sabay pang sabi nung dalawa na sabay rin nagtinginan at doon lumabas ang bungisngis ng dalawa

I was about to leave nagiging chismosa na ako ng biglang tumunog ang phone ko.

*My ringtone was the default ringtone of iphone. (sosyal. naol)

I clinched! Fvck

They heard it for sure. Di ako lumingon at mabilis na umalis upang sagutin ang tawag.

Narinig ko pa ang boses ni Bright na tumatawag sakin. Pero hindi ko na siya nilingon

When I saw who the caller is. A smile flash on my face.

"Nate. How's my baby?" Masayang bati ko

[Stop calling me baby ate binata na kaya to.]

"Whatever. I know you miss me! bat ka napatawag?"

[Tsk. Wala akong sinabing miss na kita]

"Ano ngayon. Miss mo naman talaga ako ah" pabiro kung sabi

[Fine] He laugh [Anyway ate. Baka hindi pa ako makabalik dyan 'til next week urgent kasi]
