Of course, the couple rumors were dispelled nang dumating si Sophie sa buhay nila.

Sophie's the real girlfriend.

(Not her.)

Nakilala ni Jake si Sophie sa anniversary gig ng Daybreak sa isang bar, six months ago. Emilie didn't like her at first sight. May pagkamaarte at mayabang kasi ang dating ni Sophie at ramdam din niyang hindi siya feel nito. (Her father owns a chain of hardwares around the city. Legit reason na 'yon para magyabang.) All along akala ni Emilie hanggang sa landian at pacute lang ang relationship nina Jake at Sophie. Sa halos three years nilang magkaibigan ni Jake, ngayon lang ito nagkagirlfriend. She never expected him to fall for a girl like Sophie. As in.

(Kinilabutan siya sa In Love!Jake. He's like a fucking high school girl mooning over his crush: naging extension na ng katawan ang cellphone, parang tanga na pangiti-ngiti at literal na heart eyes pag nababanggit ang pangalan ni Sophie.

Si Sophie na rin ang kilala niyang may pinakamalalang resting bitch face. Sinabi niya ang observation na 'yon kay Jake habang pauwi sila galing ng Wanderland.. and his reaction?

Hindi naman resting bitch face 'yon ah. You have to admit, she's gorgeous.

Gusto niyang masuka sa narinig niya. She begged to differ.

She hated seeing Jake like that. Sobrang nawiweirduhan siya.)

Call Emilie judgmental, but she pegged Sophie as the non-committal type of girl. Pinansin lang naman ni Sophie si Jake nung binigyan siya nito ng free Wanderland passes. At ilang beses na ring sinabi ni Jake na hindi pa siya handang magkagirlfriend.

But three months and a change in Facebook relationship status later, kinain ni Jake ang mga sinabi niya.

(Since kailangang ihatid ni Jake ang girlfriend niya pauwi, no choice si Emilie na sumabay kay Darcy after ng Fall Out Boy concert sa Araneta. Pagod na pagod silang dalawa sa kakasigaw at kakatalon sa concert, kaya inexpect niya na tahimik lang ang biyahe nila pauwi. But.. she was so wrong. Wala pa silang five minutes sa loob ng taxi, nagsimula nang magrant si Darcy.

"Huh?"

Darcy did her 180 degree eye roll. "Dude, nabingi ka na ba? Hindi ko kinaya yung poser na 'yon! Fall Out Boy fan daw pero hindi alam ang lyrics ng Sugar We're Going Down!? I bet alam pa ng mga bata mo sa pre-school yung chorus no'n kesa sa kanya eh!"

"Sinong poser?"

"Si Sophie!!"

"Exagge mo talaga kahit ke--"

"Oh come on. Please please please tell me you don't like her too."

She wasn't expecting that from Darcy. Sa totoo lang, nairita nga siya sa tita ni Jake kanina. She treated Sophie like her BFF during the concert tapos.. pinaplastic lang pala niya. Nakakatakot banggain si Darcy. Ibang klase.
