"Icy, tara bili tayo ng juice sa canteen!" aya sa akin ni Isha

It was just 8:30 in the morning, sobrang aga pa para uminom ng juice.

"Ayoko, ikaw na lang." I refused, my stomach is not used to that kind of routine, unlike her, sanay na siya.

Hindi na niya ako pinilit pa. She knew me already. I don't want to go outside. Besides, it's kinda cold out there.

"Icy, may assignment ka na?" Ziny asked.

"Yes, why?"

"Baka naman, pakopya ako!"

I just gave her my notebook. It's not a big deal for me, those were just answers.

Our friends went to canteen with Isha kaya kaming dalawa lang ang magkasama ngayon. Some of our classmates were here too, but we're not close.

"Icy, someone's looking for you." I heard my classmate called my name, I shifted my gaze at him and raised an eyebrow. Is my mom here? Did she still brought meryenda for me?

"Who?" I asked as I stood and began to walk outside. At first I thought it was either my mom or Jie, but turns out I was wrong. It was Demi. He's also a grade five student here, the one who had a crush on my best friend.

"Pabigay naman neto sa kaniya." He said as he handed me a pink paper bag. I don't know what's inside it, it's not mine so I shouldn't open it. I'll just wait for Isha, siya naman ang may-ari. "Thank you, Icy. Bait mo talaga!" Masayang sabi niya bago siya umalis at magbalik sa room nila.

Demi has been in love with Isha for a few months now. Ako ang nagiging tulay nilang dalawa because Demi always conveys to me what he wants give to her. Demi and I were not close, he's just really feeling close. Ayaw ko siyang tulungan na manligaw sa kaibigan ko pero dahil mabait ako, sige.

The class started, Isha was busy eating beside me. I kinda got distracted because of the sound of her munch. I couldn't participated that much, parang nagutom ako.

The discussion on three subjects went too long, it lasted for about 4 hours. Feeling ko sumakit na ang pwet ko dahil sa tagal kong nakaupo. Halo-halo na rin ang naramdaman ko, antok, gutom at inis.

"You can now take your lunch."

The world suddenly seemed to light up when I heard those words. Finally, I can now eat peacefully. Kanina pa nag-iingay ang tiyan ko sa gutom. They didn't even give us the time to rest on our health break, tuloy-tuloy talaga ang discussion. For real! I felt like my brain was drained.

At lunch, me and my friends went to the canteen. Hindi na ako umuwi ng bahay para mag-lunch, nagpaalam naman ako kay mama kanina. Jie ate lunch with us too.

"Alam niyo, parang kayo na 'yong magkapatid." Isaiah said. He's talking about Jie and Isha.

"Baka mamaya may crush ka pala riyan kay Jie, ah?" asar ni Ziny kay Isha

They were too loud through out the conversation, akala mo ay napakalayo ng kausap nila. Inilabas ko ang paper bag na pinapabigay ni Demi. My friends saw that, they looked at me like I did something wrong, plus, they were already giving me a teasing smile. What the hell! This one's isn't for me.

"Hoy, kanino galing 'yan?"

"Ate Icy, bawal ka pa magpaligaw. Sumbong kita kay mama!"

Umirap ako. "Will you guys please stop?" Inis na sabi ko. "This one's for Isha..." I told them. I wanted them to stop teasing me but it only went worse.

"Hala! So sa 'yo galing iyan tapos ibibigay mo kay Isha?"

"Anong meron?"

"Ate, bisexual kana ba?"
