Bunch of MENDOZAs

Chapter 69

Xyzzy's POV

"Andeng, naninibago ako sa'yo. Ano ba nangyayari sa'yo? Ang tahimik mo yata. At ano'ng sabi ni Ken na kay Mavie ka raw tumitira." I asked loudly too Andrei.

"Eh gusto ko lang. Nag-away kasi kami ni Ken." Umiirap niyang sagot. "Nakapagpaalam ka naman na ba sa mga alagain mo na doon ka muna kay Ken ngayong hapon?"

"Hindi pa. And why would they say 'no'?" I asked and sat on a bench; and so are they.

Our class just finished and we straightly headed to the park near the parking lot.

"Because Xyzzy they care about you." Mavie snapped.

"It's just Ken. By night uuwi na rin naman ako." I frowned. "At bakit parang galit ka?"

She chuckled. "Oh sorry. Hindi. May period lang kaya medyo nasosobrahan sa emosyon. Naaway ko nga kanina si Breii ko eh."

"Do you know Naomi?" Andrei asked suddenly that made me look at him.

Pero bago pa siya makasagot biglang dumating si Raven at Zahir na pawis na pawis at naka-uniform ng... for soccer and basketball.

Yes, Raven is wearing a basketball uniform while Zahir's a soccer uniform.

"Ate!" Hinihingal na tawag ni Raven at basta nalang silang umupo na dalawa sa harapan namin. "Ate..."

"Baby hinga ka muna." Mavie said.

He sweetly smiled to Mavie and nodded.

"Bakit kapag si Mavie ang tumatawag sa'yo ng 'baby' okay lang? Kapag ako hindi." Andrei said with a tone that you wouldn't want to hear.

"Landi mo tumawag, pa'no." Zahir answered and rolled his eyes before leaning his head on my knees.

"Yeah." Sagot din ng isa.

Okay. Malayo ang sports field mula sa parking lot but here they are at 3 o'clock-

"Bakit wala kayo sa classrooms niyo?" Malakas kong tanong sa kanila.

Agad namang tumingala si Zahir at sinenyasan ako na 'wag maingay.

"Start na ng practice namin ate." He said. "3 o'clock to 6 ang practice na namin every day."

"And ate, excuse kami for our research subject, it's the last, 3 to 4:30 basta raw tutulong kami." Raven added.

Sumandal naman uli sa legs ko si Zahir at pumikit pa.

"Hinabol ka talaga namin para makapagpaalam." He said. "Bukas pa raw kasi mai-distribute yung wavers regarding with the practice eh. Siraulo kasi teacher namin."

"Hmm, okay lang. As long as hindi niyo mapapabayaan ng academic grades niyo and alam 'to ni Mr. Nick. Ipapasundo ko nalang kayo kapag tapos na ang practice niyo para hindi na kayo mahirapan." I sincerely said to them.

"We love you... you know that?" Raven said.

"Kahit hindi mo sinabi na kayo na pala ni Ken." Zahir added.

Before I can even utter a word, they already stood and kissed me on my cheeks; and Mavie too, before running back to wherever there.

"Bakit kaya wala akong kiss?" Andrei said and pouted.

Tumawa lang kami ni Mavie at saka siya binatukan.

"Ano nga yung tanong mo, Andeng?" I asked.

"Kung kilala mo ba si Naomi!" He said and I noticed how Mavie pinched him. "Ano ba Mavie? She needs to know."
