Chapter 3
I was able to join their lunch because I didn't know that Cherry was that serious when she said that she will talked to my driver.
Kung ano-anong palusot ang sinabi niya kaya naman hindi na rin ako umangal. I figured out that it wasn't bad to join them, anyway.
Cherry owned a car so she gave us a ride to the Mall. Doon ko palang din nakilala sina Calix at Israel. They were sitting on the backseats of her car while I was the one in the shotgun seat.
Hindi na sumabay sa amin si Rex dahil may sarili pala itong motor.
When we arrived, I noticed that Calix is too loud even when we are inside the car. He's also sipping on his yogurt drink even while he's talking.
"Saan ba tayo kakain? Tangkana! Mcdo nanaman? Hindi ba kayo binubuni sa kakakain ng chicken fillet?!" alburuto niya nang pumasok si Cherry sa Mcdo.
"H'wag ka nalang kumain kung puro kay reklamo." sabi niya rito.
Israel laughed at Calix when he pouted like a child being scolded.
"Parang tanga," sabi niya rito at naiiling na umuna sa kaniya sa paglakad.
Agad naman akong na-excite dahil matagal na rin akong hindi nakakain rito.
Nawala lang ang ngiti ko nang makita si Rex na nakaupo na sa banda roon kung saan patungo si Cherry.
Iba talaga kapag may motor. Mas matulin pa sa hokage.
"Anong oorderin mo, Iris? You want a happy meal?" Calix snorted as if he's trying to suppresed a laughed.
Siraulo sa happy meal. Ano ako? Bata?
Bumaling ako kay Israel dahil napansin ang titig nito sa clip na suot ko. He immediately looked away when I noticed it.
"Regular meal lang sa 'kin. Please add some large fries 'tsaka na rin coke float." sabi ko. Kumuha ako nang pera sa wallet ko at iaabot na sana kay Calix. Nga lang, marahang tinabig iyon ni Gino.
"Ako na ang magbabayad," aniya.
Umiling ako agad at inilahad ulit ang pambayad ko.
Sumipol-sipol si Calix sa gilid namin. He's nodding his head slowly while humming a song playfully. Umiling naman si Israel at umuna na sa pila.
"Hilig sa bata," rinig kong sambit ni Calix kaya napakunot ang noo ko.
Ako ba ang tinutukoy niya?!
I sat on my seat because Gino insisted to pay for my meal. Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang maghintay sa order nila at sa tapat ko si Rex na nagta-type sa phone niya.
I rolled my eyes when I realized that Cherry is ordering for him. So ungentleman!
"Why do you keep rolling your eyes?" he asked, not looking at me.
"Ano naman sayo?" mahina kong sambit pero rinig niya.
This time, he looked at me while raising his brows like I did something interesting.
"Sometimes, a talent gives someone an attitude." he mocked.
Pinagtaasan ko siya ng kilay at asar na tumawa. "Are you telling me that I have an attitude?" I fired.
"Yes," he said in approval.
Umirap ako at sumandal sa aking upuan. I even crossed my arms so that I wouldn't look offended.
"You're too quick to judge." puna ko sa kaniya.
He probably noticed that I was offended when he chuckled.
