Look At Me

Chapter 41

He was grinning and I want to flick his forehead right now. Masyado na siyang masaya.

"Gutom lang 'yan, Cruz. Tara kumain." pag-aaya ko na lang dahil natameme na naman ako sa harap niya.

He didn't answer but I heard his low chuckle. Pinagtatawanan na naman ako.

"Puro kayo bebe time, respeto naman." Llyn complained after seeing that I'm with Zen.

"Ikaw na mag-adjust, puntahan mo si Basti sa kabilang university." biglang asar ni Prince kay Llyn.

"Bakit? May balak ka na rin bang sundan si Phillie sa kabilang university?" ngumisi kami ni Zen dahil sa ganti ni Llyn kay Prince.

"As if Phillie wants to see me." he hissed that made us laugh.

"Life goes on, Prinsepe." I jokingly comforted him. He glared at me so I poke Zen's shoulder and pointed Prince; nagsusumbong.

"Just court the girl, Prince. Wala ka pang ginagawa pero umaarte ka na walang pag-asa." Zen shrugged.

"Cause there is no chance," Prince insisted, "Saka, wow... ang haba ng sinabi mo ngayon, ah? Magpapalechon ako." Prince sarcastically exclaimed while looking at his best friend. Zen, on the other hand, just looked at Prince flatly.

"Gutom lang 'yan, ikain mo na 'yan, Prince." sabi ko na lang dahil halata namang problemado sa pagkakagusto sa kaibigan ko.

I may ship the two but I don't want to force Philomena Isle to like Prince.

"What do you want to eat?" Zen asked when the two already stand up to order their meal.

"Tara tignan kung ano meron." tinapik ko ang braso niya saka tumayo.

Pork chop na lang ang binili ko saka kanin at tubig. Bumalik kami ni Llyn sa table namin bitbit ang tig-isang tray na nilalagyan namin ng pagkain at hinintay ang dalawang lalaki bago kumain.

Zen suddenly placed a chocolate shake and soup in front of me. "Hoy, hindi ako nag-order nito!" angal ko.

Nakita ko na inabutan din ni Prince si Llyn ng isang shake kaya nagpasalamat ang babae.

"That's my treat right there, doc. Eat up," he patted my head and smile a little.

"Thanks, engineer." I smiled at him and start to eat.

"Magpopost na raw kung saan tayo duduty, ah? Nakita niyo 'yong announcement kagabi?" Prince shared.

"Saan nag-announce?" tanong ko dahil wala akong alam. Am I that preoccupied last night?

"Sa fb page." sagot ni Prince, napatingin ako kay Llyn at pareho kaming walang ideya sa sinasabi ni Ferrer.

"Taksil ka! Hindi mo man lang kami minention!" kunwaring sumbat ko kay Prince.

"Ikaw ang taksil, Aragon! Minention tayo ni Dale kagabi!" he fired back. I pursed my lips; guilty as charged.

"Hindi ako nag-facebook kagabi," I winced.

"Nakatulog ako," Llyn let out an awkward giggle.

"Hotdog, Aragon, minention ka rin ni Dale sa GC pero wala ka kahit seen!" hindi pa rin tapos si Prince sa sumbat niya sa'kin.

"She's busy talking to Reanne last night," Zen interfere.

"Si Sia po kabardagulan ko, respect mo na lang ako, pre." reklamo ni Prince kaya pasimple ko siyang sinipa. "Aray!" angal niya saka ako sinamaan ng tingin.

"Sabi sa'yo, Prince, manahimik ka na, eh. Si Zen talaga spoke person ni Sia kaya mag-shut the eff challenge na lang tayo." Llyn said, patting Prince's shoulder.
