Rule #1: Never Fall In Love

Chapter 04

"No way!" I exclaimed. "Ipagawa niyo na lahat wag lang mag comment sa post niya."

Snow's forehead furrowed. Halata sa kanyang mukha ang pagtataka. "Bakit naman? You'll just leave a comment, Phil." Pagpipilit pa niya.

"So, you now agree about us joining the frat?" Flynn inquired.

"Of course not! Bakit ba ang kulit niyo?"

"Mag cocomment ka lang naman ng kahit ano Phillene. Bakit ayaw mo? It's not like Yvo is your ex boyfriend." si Snow.

Kasi nga inintroduce niya ko sa Papa niya as his girlfriend! He didn't even say sorry to me!

Hindi ko talaga gusto yung ginawa niya. Sino ba siya para gawin akong panakip butas?!

Baka isipin no'n nag kunwari pa akong galit sa kanya kasi nagawa ko pang mag comment sa post niya.

Inis na inis talaga 'ko. "Bakit sa lahat ng tao si Yvo pa? Pwede naman kahit kanino ah."

"Why? Do you have someone to suggest?"

Natahimik ako.

"See? Wala. Besides simple lang naman ang favor namin bakit ayaw mo pa." Snow frowned. "Plus, he's very famous sa school natin. Wala siyang pinapansin sa mga nag cocomment sa post niya."

"Seriously, why him?"

"Why not him?" Tanong pabalik ni Snow.

"Basta ayoko lang." 

Flynn heaved a deep breath as if a sign of giving up.

After that Flynn and Snow looked at each other as they slightly shook their head.

I thought the conversation was over but I was wrong.

"So is it okay with you if we join that org?"

"No," 

"You know there's only one thing to stop us." Snow sounded serious at this point. Flynn stood up and sat on the chair beside me.

"Alam niyo siguro mas matatanggap ko pa yung kabaliwan niyong ipagtulakan kami ni Reiner sa isa't isa." Inilapit ni sa'kin ni Flynn 'yong shawarma na kinagatan niya kanina. 

I took a bite of his food. Natigilan ako saglit kasi malaki pala nakain ko. 

"Akala ko ba ayaw mo kay Reiner? Hindi ba mas okay si Yvo kasi di mo naman siya kakilala?"

Alam kong ipipilit talaga niya ang gusto niya hanggang sa pagbigyan siya.
Kailan ba ko nanalo sa pagtatalo namin?

Before I could answer, Flynn offered me his food again. "Fine, I'll do it." I said while chewing the shawarma and rolling my eyes.

I fished out my phone inside the pocket of my skirt. Hinanap ko ang ko ang post ni Yvo kung saan tumutugtog siya ng piano. Most of the comments there say 'Congrats, Yvo', then I discovered their basketball team just won the competition last week. Kaya naman pala puro Congrats ang comment sa post niya.

Gumaya lang din ako sa ibang mga nag comment. I typed 'Congrats' nothing more, nothing less. Hindi ko naman talaga siya gusto batiin, pake ko ba sa kanya.

Time goes by very quickly. Right after our class ended, I went straightly to the library to borrow some books.

Because truth to be told, I kinda doubt the information I see on the internet. I'm not certain if those were the answers I am looking for. I'm not really sure if those are correct, while some lack information.

Nagtitingin ako sa mga bookshelves ngayon nang mapalingon ako at makita si Snow sa dulong gilid na table. She was sitting there alone, looking stressed as she looked at her phone.
