Tale Of Lucy Nakahara

Chapter 47

LUCY

"Should I introduced myself?" Mark asked while looking intently at me.

A memory suddenly flooded me. Series of images, mga pangyayari kung saan kasama ko siya at ang dalawa pa naming kaibigan na hindi kilala nila Eveyth. My memories about that other circle of friends of mine is still in unclear, my memories are still incomplete. His identity is still mystery to me but I feel like I already unveil it when I was kid but I just can't remember it.

I have this feeling... this feeling that I've known him already for a long time. As I stared back to his blue and green eyes, the familiarity is becoming more intense.

I slightly arched my eyebrow. "Should you though?"

Mark smiled.

"I am Mark Maruu Flitwick and I am an old friend of yours Lucy." nakangiti niyang saad.

I heard Eveyth's awe.

"Oh Holly cow! You're also a Marru? Coincidence, yun din ang pangalan ng boyfriend ni Lucy." saad ni Eveyth na tunog na pang aasar habang nakaturo sakin ang hinlalaki niya.

Lance suddenly gasped and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Boyfriend mo na yun?!"

Lahat ng mata nila ngayon ay nakatingin sakin, specially Mark. His eyes never left mine. Napatikhim ako at napaayos ng upo. Hindi ko alam kung sasagutin ko ba ang tanong ni Lance, kasi kahit ako di ko rin alam ang sagot sa tanong niya.

Kami ba ni Marru?

"Nah, hindi sila." Chaerin answered after a minute of silence waiting for my response. I wanted to thank Chaerin for answering for me, unti-unti na kasi akong nakaramdam ng uneasiness dahil sa mga titig nila.

"Really?!" pang eechos ni Eveyth. Tangina ng gagang to sarap lagyan ng electrical tape ang bibig. "Eh anong meron sa inyo ni Marru?"

Napahinga ako ng malalim at nilingon si Eveyth. Bago ko pa maibuka ang bibig ko ay biglang nagsalita ulit si Chaerin.

"Platonic landian."

Or maybe I should put also an electrical tape on Chaerin's mouth.

Mabilis akong napalingon sa kanya.

"Nandito ba tayo para pagusapan ang buhay pag-ibig ko?" puno ng sarkasamo kong tanong.

Eveyth laughed in a most annoying way.

Inikotan lang ako ng mata ni Chaerin. "Is that even called love? The guy can't even commit on you, ni label o assurance hindi maibigay sayo."

Napahilot nalang ako sa tngki ng ilong ko.

Eveyth is still laughing while looking at Mark na parang nang-aasar habang si Mark naman ay walang emotion na nakatingin sakin at sandaling tinapunan ng tingin si Eveyth.

"Remember our bet Lucy when we were like 10? The bet we made? Kung mapaibig ko si Lance ay liligawan mo itong si Minecraft?" tanong niya sabay turo kay Mark na masama na ang tingin sa kanya. Forget about it—"

"Because the former won't happen." putol na saad ni Mark then Eveyth responsed with a smirk.

"And same goes to the latter. My money is on the other Marru. Di ko kayo ship ni Lucy. Sorry minecraft boy, kikilos ka pa lang talo ka na agad."

"Di nga nakakilos eh." Chaerin added.

Napahilot nalang ako sa nose bridge ko dahil sa pinagsasabi ni Eveyth. "Hindi parin kayo tapos sa ship-ship na yan?" I flatly asked.
