"Ang aga mo naman gumising Jewel."Tumawa ako ng dahil sa sinabi ni Natasha. I turned the stove off and grab a plate and put the hotdogs and eggs. Umupo kami sa upuan at nagsimulang kumain.
"Na-inspired kaba?" Amber asked and I shook my head.
"Hindi no!"
We glance at the stairs as Sapphire heads down carrying her bag and tons of papers.
"Jewel, natapos mo na ba ang assignment?"She asked. I saw how Natasha and Amber shook their head.
"Yup." She sighed in relief.
"Pa-copy nga." She pleaded. I sighed and went to get my paper inside my bag, before giving it to her.
"Here."She smiled widely.
"Hayy, salamat talaga." She hugged me and went to sit down, before copying my work while eating. I only shook my head, took a seat, and continued my meal.
"Hoy Sapphire!Mahiya ka naman kay Jewel."sabi ni Natasha at ngumuso naman si Sapphire at pinagpatuloy ang kanyang ginagagawa.
"No, it's okay."
"Bakit hindi mo ginawa ang assignment kahapon?" kunot noong tanong ni Amber.
"Eh kase nga! Tumawag si Rigel at ganon nag-usap kami. Sa katagal namin mag-usap ay hindi namin napansin ang oras. I think 12:00 a.m. kami natapos."
"Ang tagal naman, mukha naman kayo hindi na nag-kikita. Eh, nagkikita naman kayo sa school."sabi ni Amber.
Hindi ito pinansin ni Sapphire at nagpatuloy sa kwento. "So ganon nga, pagkatapos namin mag-usap ay natulog na ako. Nakalimutan ko na may assignment pala."
"Huwag mo nang gawin iyon ulit, Sapphire. Isipin mo din ang pag-aaral mo." sabi ko at ngumiti naman ito at tumango.
"Okay-"
"Naku Jewel! Wala ng pag-asa na magbago iyan, noong first year ganyan na siya. Hindi gumagawa ng assignment, mas lalo pa nga lumalala na naging kaibigan kaming tatlo. Sa amin palagi nangongopya."said Natasha and Sapphire glared at her.
"Napakasama niyo!"
"Totoo naman. Bakit pikon ka?" Natasha asked, sarcastically. Lalong nainis si Sapphire sa sinabi ni Natasha at sususugod na sana sa kanya pero pinigilan ito ni Amber.
"Tama na iyan." said Amber. Sapphire went back to her seat, glaring at Natasha.
"Sige na, kumain na tayo."
Nang matapos kaming kumain ay binigay ni Sapphire sa akin ang papel dahil tapos na siya sa pag-copy at nagpasalamat din siya. Sabay kaming pumunta sa school at hanggang ngayon marami pa din nakatingin sa akin, hindi ko nalang sila pinansin at pumasok lang sa loob ng classroom dahil magsisimula na ang klase.
"S-sorry." I apologized to the guy I bumped into. I kneeled to pick up his books that lay on the floor.
"No, I should be the one apologizing." sabi niya at tinulungan ako. His gaze went to me and our eyes widened.
It was him.
The guy I met in the cafe.
"Oh, it's you." He smiled.
"Damon."sambit ko. Ngumiti ito at tumango.
"I still didn't know your name." He looked away and scratched his nape.
"Oo nga pala."sabi ko at nag-iwas ng tingin.
"Can we be friends?" tanong niya at napaisip ako. Hindi naman siguro patayin ni kuya ang lalaking 'to kapag maging kaibigan kami. Besides, he's at New York.
