Chapter 8
Natapos ang lahat ng kaniyang klase nang maalala niya na magK-KTV pala sila mamaya sa imbetasyon ni Stacy. Dumiretso na siya sa kanilang dorm at agad nang nag shower. Natapos na siya at lumabas ng banyo na nakatapis lang ng tuwalya. Tinunggo niya ang kaniyang cabinet at namili ng damit habang sumi-sipol.
At sa mga oras na 'yon ay hindi niya napansin ang tatlo na kanina pa siya pinapanood.
"Anong ginagawa ni Henry? Bat kanina pa 'yan nandyan sa harap ng salamin?" Honda asked while holding a cup.
"Hmmm... May gusto pa rin siguro siya kay Stacy?" Andrew said.
Napatigil ang dalawa at sabay na napalingon kay Nate.
"May alam ka?" Andrew asked and Nate just shrugged.
"May alam 'to eh, hindi lang nagsasalita." Honda said.
Honda looked at Nicholas who was in front of the mirror and doing something on his hair pagkatapos nagpabango ito. He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans.
"Henry!" Honda shouted.
Napatalon sa gulat si Nicholas, "ay pusang gala ka! Ano?" Inis na sabi nito.
"Did we miss something? Hindi kasi nagsasalita 'to si Nate." Honda interrogated.
"Wala naman, ano bang pinagsasabi niyo jan?" Nicholas answered while combing his hair.
"May gusto ka pa rin kay Stacy noooo?"
Napatigil naman si Nicholas sa kaniyang ginagawa at hindi nalang sila pinansin.
"Grabe, pa-pogi mo ah."
Talagang napatigil si Nicholas at ibinaba ang suklay na hawak. Pucha! Bakit ako nagpapa-gwapo? Nakakahiya. Nakakahiya. Nakita pa nila ako. He thought and glanced at Nate who was smirking at him. Napapikit nalang ito dahil sa hiya.
Wala nang sinabi ang dalawa at napatawa nalang. Pagkatapos nag-ayos na. Lumapit naman si Nicholas kay Nate.
"Ano sa tingin mo?" Nicholas added.
"Anong ano sa tingin ko?" Nate teased.
Nicholas rolled his eyes, "kay Stacy," he said. "What do you think of her?" He asked.
Nate chuckled, "she's... she's..." Nate teased again.
"Ano ba 'yan. Wag mo nga akong asarin." Nicholas said and crossed his arms.
"Hahaha. Ito na, she's fine."
"She's fine?"
"Yes, and she's nice."
"Sure ka? Kasi grabe bro, unang tingin ko pa lang, I know she's the one. Joke lang." He said and laughed at his own joke. "Di ito na, kasi diba naalala mo 'yong pinagtanggol niya ako kay Yena? May naramdaman nanaman ako eh, ibang-iba kay Yena na parang nakilala ko ang pang habang buhay ko..." and he told him the story. "Nagmamahal, Charot," and he laughed at his own joke again.
"So, that's why you asked me. And with that, you will pursue her?" Nate asked and Nicholas nodded. "Then do it. I am 70% sure that she's not what you think."
"Paano naman ang 30%?"
Nate shrugged, "ikaw ang bahala."
Lumalim na ang gabi at bihis na sila lahat. Nauna lang si Nicholas dahil excited lang ito.
"Teka, anong oras tayo magkikita ron? May sinabi ba si..." Nicholas pouted because he smiled, "Stacy?" Kakasabi lang niya ng pangalan nito at naramdaman nanaman niya ang tibok ng kaniyang puso.
