"Marion offered na doon na raw sa condo nila gumawa ng mga lab reports," Maru said while fixing his things inside the bag
"Sure," I answered.
Days have passed when Mom took a surprise visit. We never talked about it as if it never happened. Good thing he never dare to talk about it more or so share it to anybody else. After all, I'm not comfortable sharing it to anyone—Even him.
"Sa condo na rin ba tayo kakain?" Tanong ni Cassiel habang nag aayos rin ng gamit.
"Oo, tapos order na lang, pagod na ako maghugas ng pinggan," Sagot naman ni Bless.
"Ako na magplace ng order ano sa'yo Heidi?" Tanong ni Lilo at tumingin sa akin.
"Chinese fast food na lang," I answered and held the books in my arms. I was about to get my bag when Maru lift it in his arms and fixed his chair after he moved out.
"Sa'kin din," Sagot ni Maru.
I started eating lunch with them again. Aside from their relentless asking I realized that I can't always refuse and I still need to eat either way.
After series of exams and practicals, Maru remains the top of our class. He continuously perform well, though he stopped teasing me unlike those past few weeks.
The doctors praises him and our classmates adores him. I can't blame them since Maru have it all. Intelligence, the looks, and good character making him easy to vibe and blend with anyone.
If I wasn't raised with the fears of failing I would also love to hang around and explore things on my own. I want to live with a peaceful mind and a light heart. Maybe by then I don't have to always compare myself and constantly blame myself for the things I have no hold.

We went to their condo and start preparing our own gadgets in preparation for our papers. The rest would be vacant so we have a lot of time to do our papers together. Nagsisimula na akong mangolekta ng ilang related articles nang magsalita si Lilo.
"Mga ante, may problema," Bungad ni Lilo dahilan para mapatingin kami sa kanya.
"For pick up pala yung nailagay ko imbes na delivery. Kanina pa handa yung pagkain natin hinihintay nalang na i-pick up, sorry," Sabi niya habang kumakamot pa sa batok.
"Ano ba naman yan, Lilo," Pagrereklamo ni Marion.
"Sorry na be, natulig lang," Sagot niya naman.
"Pero dyan lang naman sa malapit na mall," Sabi ni Lilo.
"Malapit lang pala ehh, kaya mo na yan," Sagot naman ni Kane.
"Bumoboses ka, wala ka namang pagkain doon," Sagot ni Lilo.
"Ohh talaga? Order nalang ako, yung nakadelivery," Sagot ni Kane.
