I woke up with a bunch of notifications composing of 130 messages from a group chat just created last night. Nang buksan ko ito, puro messages nina Lilo at Maru na pinuno ang convo ng mga voice messages and memes about med.


I put my earphones on and see those memes one by one. I was enjoying it that I didn't realize the time. I looked at the clock, its already 6 in the morning. Our class today is 9 in the morning.


Since it's late for me to review here. I decided to prepare for class and study at school instead. I get my towel and personal toiletries. I sneak out of my room quietly thinking that Maru is still asleep, but then I was wrong. He's at the kitchen cooking for his breakfast.


"Good Morning!" Bati niya.


"Morning," I replied and proceed at the bathroom. 'di ba siya natulog?


After making myself presentable, inayos ko na ang mga dadalhin.


"Papasok ka na?" Tanong ni Maru nang makalabas ako sa kwarto habang siya ay nilalapag ang mga niluto niya sa mesa. I uncociously looked at his food. He's having a fried rice again. Just by looking at it I could easily recall how his cook taste like. His food looks inviting.


"Kain ka muna," Anyaya niya.


"'Di na—"


"Wala na, nakahanda na, ikaw na lang hinihintay," Sagot niya at lumapit saakin. His height towered me and once again he beam a wide smile exposing his remarkable fangs like a golden retriever he is.


In the end, I just saw myself sitting at the chair and he's starting to put foods on my plate.

We're here at room, I'm trying to have my peace but I just can't because Lilo and Maru is not yet done with their continuous sharing of memes and stories. 


"Kilala mo yung Glen sa kabilang block?" Tanong ni Lilo.


"We're not that close," I answered and shrugged, well—


"Sino yun?" Tanong ni Maru at tumingin saakin.


"Co-intarmed," I answered and get my eyes at the book again. Glen is one of my blockmate from intarmed, though this sem magkakasama sila sa isang block at ako lang ata ang nahiwalay.


"Bakit anong meron doon?" Tanong ni Maru.


"Wala, nakilala ko lang nung block dinner natin," Sagot ni Lilo.


"Bakit balak mong pormahan?" Rinig kong tanong ni Maru. Why is he so curious with Lilo, does he like her?


I looked at Maru who's waiting for Lilo's answer patiently.


"Duh, wala yan sa bokabularyo ko, 'tong gandang 'to, pinipilahan. 'Di pinahihirapan," She said with confidence
