"What?!"
Nanlaki ang mata ko habang si Rein ay narinig kong tumawa ng mahina.
"S..seryoso Min?"hindi ko makapaniwalang sabi.
"Wow.. the gentleman turned into a horny one" Rein chuckled.
Siniko ko si Rein kaya napakagat sya ng labi at pinigilan ang pagtawa.
"I..It's an accident! Pareho kaming lasing! Ruan.. I hope you don't get upset" saad ni Min.
"Why would she? She's not inlove with Kyle. She's inlove with me"sabat ni Rein.
"Hindi naman ako apektado. Pero...nakakagulat lang talaga yung sinabi mo" saad ko.
"Argh! Hindi ko na alam kung anong mukha ang ihaharap ko sa kanya! ayokong maalala nya yung nangyari! Waahh!!"napatakip sya ng mukha sa kahihiyan.
Pulang pula ang mukha ni Min kaya tinap ko nalang ang balikat nya.
"It happened already, you can't do anything about it" saad ni Rein.
"Bakit ba tuwang tuwa ka pa dyan ha?!"inis na sabi ni Min.
"Of course, now Kyle has a reason to forget my baby. Let's just hope you're fertile—"
"Jerk!!" Nakatanggap ng sapak si Rein mula kay Min.
Hinayaan ko nalang dahil masyadong madaldal si Rein at kailangan nya talagang masapak ngayon.
"Ouch! Baby, you're friend is also a sadist!"reklamo ni Rein.
"Tama lang yan sayo, ang daldal mo kasi" nakangiwi kong sabi.
"Sayang hindi ka nabuntis nung nag ano tayo noh?"bulong sakin ni Rein.
*PAK*
"OUCH! What's that for?!"
"Umuwi kana nga! Psh! Kahit kailan ka talaga!!"inis na sabi ko.
"Tch! Oo na, bye baby.. I love you"Rein kiss me on my temple tapos tumayo at tumingin kay Min.
"I really hope you are fertile—"
"Lumayas kana nga!"inis na sigaw ni Min.
Rein chuckled and wave a goodbye. Natawa nalang ako at nag wave din sa kanya bago umalis.
Napatingin naman ako Min, I found her staring at me kaya napataas ako ng kilay.
"Iba talaga ang nagagawa ng pag ibig no? Kahit mali gagawin nyo ang lahat para lang magkasama. Sabagay... kayo naman talaga dapat kung hindi lang dahil sa Tania na yun."she said.
"I hope you can keep a secret Min.."I said.
"Of course, your secret is safe with me. Magkaibigan tayo kaya dapat i-secret mo lang din yung nangyari sa'min ni Kyle!" Min said.
"Oo naman. Pero hindi ka ba nababahala? Paano kung mabuntis ka?"
"Wag naman sana, baka patayin ako ng nanay ko. Promise ko hindi ko na uulitin yung pagkakamaling 'yon" saad niya sa kaniyang sarili.

Nang mag monday ay sabay kaming pumasok ni Kyle, sinadya ko talagang sabayan sya dahil gusto kong makibalita.
"Wala ka bang nakakalimutan?"tanong ko.
"Like what?"takang tanong nya.
"Like... saan ka pumunta noong friday? Basta ka nalang umalis"saad ko.
"Oh. I just had fun"He said.
"Oh really? Meron pa"saad ko.
I want to provoke him. Didn't he want want to tell me about him and Min?
"Oh! Your cellphone! I forgot to gave it back! Here.."inabot nya ang cellphone ko.
"Kyle.. you left us last friday. I am worried about you. What happened?" tanong ko.
"Ruan, I'm still not getting over you. Don't show your care for a while" he pouted.
"Baliw! Kaibigan mo parin ako no! At pwede ba? Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about!"I said.
"About what nga?!" medyo nairita sya.
"About you and Min!"
Namula naman sya bigla at hindi nakapagsalita.
"We are here. I'll go now" agad syang bumaba sa kotse.
Hindi ko napansin na nasa school na pala kami.
"Wait! Kyle! C'mon, don't avoid the topic" I said and get out of the car quickly.
Lumingon naman sya sakin with his disappointed face.
"Ruan, I don't care about what happened to us. It's an accident okay? I am inlove with you and I am thinking about you that time."he said seriously and walk away.
Napatigil naman ako at hindi makapagsalita sa sinabi nya.
What the hell did he say?!
"Did you two just had a quarrel?" Biglang sumulpot si Jett sa likod ko na ikinagulat ko.
"Jett?"
"Having a quarell with him? Balita ko may match sya with Rein last friday. Mukhang dumadamoves na ulit si Rein ah"he said.
Oo nga pala, he don't have any idea yet.
"Uhh.. sa totoo lang break na kami"saad ko.
"Seriously?"taas kilay nyang sabi.
"Y..yeah. for some reasons.. and I know I can't love him back"saad ko.
"As I expected, you're still not getting over Rein. Should I be glad? Or disappointed?" he touch his chin para mag isip.
"Uh.. atleast hindi ako nagsisinungaling sa sarili ko diba?"I said.
"Sabagay... mas okay maging single! Haha!" He teased me and messed my hair ng biglang may bumunggo sa kanya.
"Aray! Dude! Dahan daha—"
"Sorry, you're such a big poop fooling around" a harsh voice came from nowhere.
It is Rein with Tania clinging on his arms. Napakunot na naman tuloy ang noo ko. Diba sabi ko wag syang magpapakapit?!
Napansin naman nya ako kaya tinanggal nya agad at medyo dumistansya kay Tania
"Ano bang—Rein? H..Hey dude!" Nagtaasan pareho ang kilay namin ng magbago ang mood ni Jett.
"Dude? I don't remember we are close" Rein rolled his eyes
"Rein, I saw this guy with Alex once.." Tania said.
Napakunot naman ang noo ni Rein at tinignan ng masama si Jett.
"I said, you stay away from my cousin" Rein warned him and gave him a death glares.
"At ano namang masama dun?" Tanong ko.
"Rein don't want Alex to have a boyfriend yet. Right baby?" malambing nyang sabi kay Rein at kumapit na naman sa kanya.
You know, everytime I see her face, my hands starting to get itchy. I want to slap her right now. At tinawag nya pa talagang baby si Rein huh? Ang kapal nya.
"Ah ganun ba? But still you can't do anything if they are inlove with each other. Hindi mo mapipigilan ang puso"umirap ako kay Tania at Rein tsaka hinila si Jett.
"Woah.. did you just defend me a while ago?"
"Don't mention it Jett"Sarcastic kong sabi.
Sa totoo lang, medyo nainis ako or should I say.. nagseselos ako. Bakit lasi kapit ng kapit si Tania sa kanya?!
Now I know how it feels.. kapag hindi mo pwede ipagdamot yung taong mahal mo kahit selos na selos kana dahil secret on lang kayo. Argh! Nakakainis!
"What's with the frown all about?" taas kilay na tanong ni Jett.
"Ikaw, diretsuhin mo na kasi si Rein! Sabihin mo kayo na ni Alex! hindi yung nagtatago tago pa!"inis na sabi ko.
Bigla tuloy akong nabadtrip.
"Okay? Bakit sakin ka nagagalit dyan? Parang kanina kampi ka saken. Psh"
I just rolled my eyes at pumasok na sa room. I saw Min staring at Jett as we enter the room pero bigla syang namula at pinalo palo ang ulo nya na para bang may naisip syang hindi kanais nais.
"Okay ka lang?"takang tanong ko kay Min.
"Everything that happened last friday can't take out of mind. Pakiramdan ko tuloy nag cheat ako behind Jett's back" Min pouted.
"Seriously naisip mo pa yan?" nakangiwi kong sabi.
"A..actually.. t..that night. I was thinking about J..Jett. Pero kapag naiisip kong si Kyle pala yun, parang nababaliw ako! That was my first! Argg!!" Min can't help but to pull her hair and shake her head.
"Sana hindi ka mabaliw katulad ni Tania" I teased.
"Are you two talking about me?"taas na kilay ni Tania.
As I saw her face, my mood automatically turned bad. Err.. she's always ruining my mood.
"Uhh.. no, it's not you. Maraming Tania sa mundo" saad ko at inirapan sya.
Nang maglunch time. Kasama ko si Min at Jett sa canteen, Min is still in her awkward status while Jett noticed Min being so weird today.
"Is she okay?"bulong sakin ni Jett.
"Yeah she is."tipid na sagot ko dahil badtrip ako ngayon.
"Min? Kanina ka pa namumula. May sakit ka ba?"tanong ni Jett.
"Huh? W..wala! Naiinitan lang ako"saad nya at kumain.
Kumakain ako ng meatball spaghetti ng maramdaman kong may nakatitig sakin. Actually kanina ko pa nararamdaman na may nakatitig sakin.
Tumingin ako sa kabilang dulong table. I saw Rein eating with Tania. Nakahalumbaba si Rein sa mesa habang nakatingin sakin. As our eyes met, he winked at me secretly. Flirt talaga. Inirapan ko nga sya at kumain nalang.
"Ate.. may nagpapabigay po" maya maya nagulat ako ng may kumalabit sa aking freshmen.
Nilapag nya sa harap ko ang isang soymilk na bote na may sticky note na
'Hey baby, stop frowing and enjoy your lunch. I love you 😘' —You're sexy and hot baby 😜
Napakagat ako ng labi para pigilan ang pag ngiti. Hot and sexy baby talaga? Ang hangin talaga ng mokong na 'to!!
Napasulyap ako kay Rein. He smiled and teasingly winked at me again pero ng mapansin sya ni Tania ay bigla syang kumain ulit na parang walang nangyari.
He's really a jerk! Gusto nya ba talagang mapansin kaming dalawa? Can't he hold himself a little bit?
"Hey.. can I eat with you guys?" Nagulat ako ng makita si Kyle sa gilid ko.
"Diba break na kayo?"takang tanong ni Jett.
"Yeah. But we are still friends, bakit? Bawal na ba magsabay ang mag ex?"taas kilay na sabi ni Kyle.
"Probably that would be awkward? Lalo na kakabreak nyo lang? Err.. I don't get the both of you.. right Min?"
Napatingin naman ako kay Min na medyo namumula. Oh my.. is she remembering that night again?
"Oh hi Min. I didn't notice you"Kyle smile at her a little.
"Hello"Min tried to act normal.
Nagtama naman ang tingin nila ni Min. Si Min ang unang umiwas at kumain nalang. Si Kyle naman, ayun...cool lang.
Hindi ba sya nakakaramdam ng awkwardness??
Tahimik lang si Kyle kumain, minsan nakikipag usap sya sakin ng casual hanggang sa matapos sya. Si Min naman, nararamdaman ko ang pagka ilang nya. Habang si Jett, inaalam kung bakit walang awkwardness samin ni Kyle matapos ng break up.
Actually hindi ko rin alam kung bakit magaan parin kami ni Kyle sa isa't isa pagkatapos ng break up namin. Siguro dahil sa nangyari sa kanila ni Min, nasa mindset ko na baka magka chemistry sila so there's no need to worry about the awkwardness.
"Well.. I have to go now, may practice pa kami. See you around guys... Bye Ruan.."tumayo na si Kyle at umalis.
"I can't believe he can act like that..."naiiling na sabi ni Jett kaya napatingin kami ni Min sa kanya.
"Siguro wala talaga syang pakielam sa nangyari. Ako lang talaga yung apektado at masyadong nag big deal sa lahat" biglang sabi ni Min.
"Huh? Are you saying something Min?"hindi na gets ni Jett yung sinabi ni Min.
He's clueless about Min and Kyle after all.
