"Sure," Andrius said and clicked something pero tunog pa rin ito nang tunog. Pinagpapawisan na s'ya.
He then looked at us.
"I-I'm still finding where can I disable it," he said awkwardly. "H-Hindi kasi ako palagamit ng phone."
Casper smiled.
"It shows," he said. "Let me help."
Kinuha n'ya ang cellphone ni Andrius.
"The notifications are from instagram."
"Y-Yeah," he said like a child. "I created one last night and I don't know how to use it."
"Wow, famous," bulong ni Casper at maya-maya'y bigla nalang nawala ang ngiti sa labi n'ya.
"Why?" I asked.
Casper seemed shocked.
He looked at Andrius and in a sudden, he grinned.
"Ikaw ha," sabi n'ya.
Kumunot ang noo ni Andrius at napalitan iyon ng pagkagulat kinalaunan.
"N-No, man, y-you misunderstood-"
At walang anu-ano'y hinablot n'ya ang cellphone n'ya mula kay Casper.
"It's okay, no need to be defensive," sabi ni Casper. "If there's someone who'd understand it, it's me."
"No!" Andrius said and I can see his cheeks were burning red. "D-Don't misunderstand it."
Just then, he walked away awkwardly.
"Ano 'yun?" I asked. "Ano nakita mo?"
Casper grinned.
"Man things you won't understand," he said and sighed.
"Iba talaga mga tahimik, mas wild."
"Ha?" I asked.
"Hakdog," Casper said and followed Andrius.
"Brad! Papasa naman!"
"Don't talk to me!"
Napakunot ang noo ko.
Close agad sila???
From that moment, the door opened and a man wearing a formal attire came in.
"BON JOUR!" he said.
Everyone looked and greeted him.
It's him.
It's Newt.
He looked at me, Andrius, and Casper.
"Glad you guys are here," he said. "Let me introduce you to them."
He cleared his throat.
"EVERYONE'S EYES ON ME, PLEASE."
People then looked at him.
"Everyone, meet Neska Ellinor Harriet and Cliford Andrius Blake. Though kilala n'yo na rin naman si Casper, let me introduce na rin."
"Kilala na namin sila, sir," sabi ng isang naka-usa namin. "Sila papalit kila Manong June at Manang Emy. Na orient ko na 'yan, boss. Oks na."
Confusion swallowed Newt.
As I looked at Andrius, I saw his lips curved a sudden small smile.
"Huh?" tanong ni Newt.
"Magaling din bumili ng kape," sabi ni Ms. Superior. "Within 20 minutes narito na!"
"Ano bang pinagsasabi ninyo?" tanong ni Newt. "They are not the new janitor or janitress. At mas lalong hindi sila tagabili ng kape. They are your new bosses."
