"Deanna, the next scene?" I looked at Romania who was looking at me while she's sitting on the monoblock chair. I walked towards her then handed her the pages with the next scene and script.
Everyone's doing their respective tasks. Lahat kami ay busy sa kani-kaniyang trabaho. Patapos na kami sa isang tao, we still have two people to interview pa pero sa mga ibang araw pa 'yon. This documentary is expected to be two hours long.
Hindi pa rin namin alam kung about saan o sino 'yung susunod na dalawa. I already asked Romania about it but she told me she'll look pa. When I asked her if I can look for someone, she said no. Sabi niya trabaho niya kaya hinayaan ko.
"You should take charge na. Romania doesn't even know what to fucking do," galit na bulong ni Lou. I shrugged her off.
As much as possible, ayoko ng gulo. Kaya bahala sila. As long as hindi naapektuhan ang grades ko, hindi ako makikialam. Nakakapagod mag lead lalo na kung tinatake nila in a bad way. Ayoko ng ganon. Pagod na ako sa ganon.
Romania proclaimed herself to be the leader and I let her be. Hanggat wala naman talaga akong nakikitang mali. Maybe she's just pressured or whatever.
"Hi," I heard a guy's voice from my side so I threw him a glance. He was smiling oddly. My forehead creased. I don't remember who this guy was.
Nagpatuloy ako sa pag-aayos ng gamit.
"I'm Dan, do you remember me?" Pagpapatuloy niya pa pero tinignan ko lang siya saglit at kinuha 'yung ilang gamit ko at mabilis na naglakad papunta sa sasakyan ni Lou.
Nilagay ko doon ang gamit ko dahil isasabay niya ako pauwi. Magkatabi lang kasi building namin.
"Psst," Lou.
"What?"
"He's been trying his best to get your attention, oh."
Nilingon ko kung saan nakatingin si Lou. Sinara ko ang pinto ng backseat niya at tumabi sa kaniya. Naka sandal siya sa may trunk ng sasakyan niya ngayon.
The guy was talking to his friends and he was barely laughing unlike his friends. He looked okay but I don't care.
"Nagpapareto siya pero sabi ko may boyfriend ka but some people told him that you're single so I guess he believes that I'm just gate keeping you." Humalakhak naman siya. Hindi ko na lang pinapansin at hinila na siya dahil gusto ko nang umuwi.
Lou's good. Among her friends, she's the one I can bare to stay long with. She's not that talkative but not so quiet and I appreciate her for that. Pero lahat naman silang magkakaibigan ay mababait.
Maraming nagkakagusto kay Lou mapa lalaki man o babae. She's both beautiful and handsome. She's pretty and masc. Bagay rin sa kaniya 'yung tomboy style niya. Her shades was resting on her head like a headband.
"Is Miguel your boyfriend?" She asked. I looked at her while she's busy looking at the road. She's driving to our place.
Hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko. Hindi ko boyfriend si Migo. Hindi ko rin siya manliligaw. I don't know if we are in-a-no-label-relationship. Ang alam ko lang gusto niya ako at gusto ko siya.
Ang alam ko lang ay masaya kami.
At sapat na sa akin 'yon.
May part kasi sa akin na ayoko pa talagang mag commit but if it is with him? I'll think about it.
"No," I simply answered.
I thought Lou would gasp in disbelief and such but she just nodded her head habang nakatingin pa rin sa kalsada. Wala siyang sinabi at mukang hindi naman nakaka insulto 'yung reaksyon niya.
