"Jace! Come here, join us!"
REESE'S:
We're here sa canteen, currently eating.
Kanina pa kami dito but walang umiimik sa amin.
I dunno but, I think they felt it too..
Well, it's clear naman that there's a tension between me and Jace kaya sure ako na nahahalata rin nila.
"Jace! Come here, join us!"
Brent was the one to break the silence, he invited Jace to join us coz he's eating alone on the other table.
"No, thanks Brent. I'm done naman na."
"Then just join us here, come."
"I think I gotta go Brent. I have to buy covers pa kasi for these."
He stood up and showed the books he borrowed sa library.
Jace kasi is a bookworm, di halata but he is.
"You sure?? Need a company?"
"Haha no, I mean.. It's just a little thing, I can manage."
After that, umalis na siya.
When he was out of sight, everyone turned to me as if I did something wrong.
"Oh? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Reese, you know we can't take cold wars like this. I mean, like what you and Jace are exactly doing right now. You must talk to him and settle things down, it's hard lang kasi when someone treated another one like he doesn't belong to the group. You may be unaware but, it breaks our spirit too. Can't you see? Lahat kami apektado."
Vin expressed his frustration vocally as he usually does.
"Vin's right Reese. Talk to Jace and settle things once and for all. We know he's not brave enough to approach you first.. Well, likewise nobody's brave enough to do such thing kaya nga we're asking you to make the first move para naman hindi na kami nahihirapan sa setting na 'to dahil lang sa magkaibang pananaw niyo."
Brent gave second opinion.
"I agree to that, Reese. Kahit ako, nahihirapang mag adjust sa inyo."
Kier voiced out also.
I can't help but to reflect. They were right. Kahit din naman ako, I'm sick of bizarre moments like this.
I didn't hear Jah's thoughts so I looked at him.
"What?"
He asked.
"Tell me your side Jah. Kung hindi ka apektado, itutuloy ko pa ring dedmahin si Jace."
Pang-aasar ko sa kanila.
Napa facepalm pa si Vin nang marinig iyon.
"Well, they already said my opinion. We have the same thoughts, so.. Why don't you talk to him and get things right over?"
After awhile, I stood up.
All of them looked at me with full of admiration.
Cringey..
"Oh! Thanks!! Pupuntahan mo na siya?"
I frowned upon hearing that from Vin.
"Anong pupuntahan? Hindi ba kayo papasok? Ala una na oh? Tss."
