Days passed at lagi ko nang kasama si Khash at Raven kapag lunch. I can't refuse at them since Khash always interrupts me when I'm about to say something.
We already got our food and naghahanap kami ng mauupuan. Minamalas yata kami dahil wala ng bakanteng table.
My eyes were roaming around to see if may bakante na when I saw Jake eating alone. Takam na takam siya sa pagkain niya.
Alam kong nakakahiya kung doon kami makikiupo lalo na't tinatarayan ko siya. Pero hindi ko na kaya, gutom na gutom na ako.
I sighed and gained confidence. I walked straight to his table with Khash and Raven who were following me.
"Uhm Jake?"
"Yeeeeesh?" he answered.
"Can we sit with you? Tingnan mo oh, we already got our food and I can't afford to stand up a little longer." I said with a pleasing voice na naka pout pa. Ew nakakadiri. I hate myself na.
"Oh yes, Raven and Khash can sit. But you."
Like what the hell bitch? Ako na nga tong nakikiusap. Tss..
"I'll let you sit here in one condition." he said with a grin.
"Yeah what the heck is that condition?" i said in dull tone.
I'm really pissed right now. Can't he see? Kanina pa ako nakatayo dito eh.
"Sabay tayong apat mag lunch lagiiiiii!" he said in a jolly tone.
I looked at Khash and Raven with a face like 'okay lang ba?'
Both of them just nodded. I honestly don't like to be with him. Pero wala na akong magagawa.
I simply nodded while Jake smiled widely. Wala naman sigurong mawawala kung sasama siya sa amin diba?

Since magka klase rin naman kami, sabay na kaming bumalik sa classroom. Habang naglalakad kami, they always talk about nonsense things, and laugh at their own corny jokes.
"Anong fish ang pwedeng panulat?" Jake asked with a grin.
"Ano?" Khash and Raven asked.
"Edi LaFish." Jake laughed hysterically.
Seriously? Hindi naman nakakatawa 'yon ah. Tsk. Tiningnan ko ziya nang naka pokerface while my arms crossed.
"Oy JaSungit! nakakatawa 'yong joke ko diba?" sabi niya habang inaakbayan ako.
I was taken aback by what he did.
I can sense a lot of stares from other people. Hindi naman mapagkakaila na gwapo itong si Jake. Narinig ko nga sa mga kaklase ko na center of attraction itong si Jake dahil sa taglay niyang kagwapuhan ngunit salungat naman pagdating sa room.
Ni hindi nga siya pinapansin ng mga babae naming kaklase. Pero ibang-iba pagdating sa labas ng room. Ang lagkit ng mga titig ng mga kababaihan sa kaniya. Na para bang hinuhubad na siya sa kanilang isipan.
It sounds absurd pero ganoon talaga. He got a brown eyes that could melt you by just staring at those. He got plump luscious lips. At ang kaniyang matangos na ilong. Wait? Why am I even complementing him? Geez.
"Hey! Why are you are staring at me?" I snapped back to reality.
"No I'm not!" depensa ko.
"And please get your hands off of me." sabi ko sabay tanggal ng kamay niya na nasa balikat ko.
I heard some giggles from my back.
I rolled my eyes at them. Ayaw na ayaw ko nito. Dumating na kami sa room at inayos ang sarili para sa pang hapon na klase.

"Uy Jas, sabay na tayong umuwi." sabi na Khash sabay kalabit sa akin.
I was about to say No nang biglang dumating si Jake.
"Oo nga, sabay na tayo~ we're living on the same apartment and its three blocks away from your house." sabat niya habang turo ang dalawa.
"okaaaay." I said in a tired tone.
Dumating na ako sa bahay na nakapalumbaba. I went straight in my room. I got my phone from my pouch and typed my password.
I logged in my Facebook account para tingnan kung may messages or notifications ba ako from other people.
I was about to click the notification button when a chat head appeared. Black lang ang profile picture niya. Since I'm curious. I clicked it.
"Hi miss."
Who is this? Bakit naman siya mag cha chat sa akin? Bago ako mag reply, inistalk ko muna siya. I scrolled up and down but there's nothing useful here.
"Who are you?" I replied.
The stranger quickly replied.
"Someone who'll kill you :)"
Tsk. Ni Hindi man lang tumayo ang balahibo ko. I'm sick of playing games. Nakakapagod na. I just wanted this shit to end.
"You know what? I'm not buying your shit. Bye." I replied sabay block sa kaniya.
Tsk. Sinayang niya lang ang oras ko.
"Honey! Come down! You have to eat." my mom shouted.
"Yes mom." I shouted back.
I went down and joined my mom. We ate peacefully.
"So, how's school?" mom asked.
"Okay lang po." maikli kong sabi.
"Good. Make friends okay?" she said with a smile.
