The Wait in United States

-10-

"Malapit na yung SHS prom niyo ah." Amber drank a shot.

"Yeah, next week, diba Cam?" Tinanong ako ni Maya at tumango nalang ako.

"Malapit na rin alis ni baby Camilla." Valentina pouted.

"We can still video call naman eh."I laughed.

"Pero bakit kayo nag clubbing ngayon? Monday na finals niyo diba?" I asked taking a shot.

"Kaya nga eh!" Napakamot ng ulo si Valentina.

"Ewan ko ba kay Levan Vincent, may celebration daw eh." Sagot sakin ni Amber.

"Anong celebration?" Tinaasan ko si Levi ng kilay.

Binigay ni Levi sakin ang isang envelope, nag-gather sila Amber sa tabi ko para makita ano yung nasa loob ng envelope. I pulled out the paper, and glanced at Levi before reading it, mukhang relax at proud yung mukha niya, binalik ko yung tingin ko sa papel at binasa, I covered my mouth in shock when I saw what was written on the paper.

'Congratulations Brillante, Levan Vincent, You have been accepted to Harvard University...'

"Oh my God, may kasama na ako!" I rushed to Leven and hugged him.

At first, he was shocked but he hugged me back, Maya and the others glanced at the paper because they didn't really get a chance to read it well.

"Congrats baby boy!" Maya ruffled his hair and chuckled.

"Yuck, kinky much?" Tumawa si Amber.

"What the fuck?" Maya gave a death glare to Amber.

"Wala na yung dalawang youngest natin!" Valentina's eyes started tearing up.

"Hey, look on the bright side, at least my kasama si Camilla doon sa US, diba?" Maya told Valentina.

Valentina is the oldest in our group, next was Amber, Maya, Levi then me.

"Since when did you take the test?" Tanong ko kay Levi at umupo sa tabi nya.

"Noong nalaman namin na kukuha ka ng test." Sagot ni Levi.

"Namin?"

"Actually lahat kami nila Valentina kumuha ng test noong nalaman namin, tapos hindi namin sinabi sayo kasi surprise daw."Levi chuckled.

"Did you guys pass?" Tiningnan ko sila nang may pag-asa sa mga mata ko.

Umiling sila, I sighed, and just opened a bottle.

"Ang hirap naman talaga makapasok sa Harvard, halos puro mga adik sa pagaaral nandoon." Pinulong ni Amber ang kanyang mga mata.

"Di naman ako adik ah!" Levi protested, placing his hand on his chest looking like he was insulted.

"Hindi nga, pero Top 1," Amber argued.

"Hoy Levi, anong sekreto mo? Halos di ka nga nagaaral, pero top 1 parin." Valentina pointed at Levi.

"That's what you call Einstein." Maya crossed her arms.

"Hindi naman si Levi scientist eh, lawyer siya sis." I laughed.

"Shut up, Anastasia!" Maya said annoyed, mas lalong akong natawa.

"Oh, Camilla, I didn't know you ang your pathetic friends were here." Dumaan si Amalia sa table namin.

Kumulo agad ang dugo ko nang makita ang mukha niya, tumayo agad ako sa upuan ko, I noticed she started getting scared but tried to maintain a calm face.

"I wonder why you're here in the V.I.P section? Have new friends that can spoil you?"
I let out a cold laugh.

"Camilla, tama na, baka mag sampalan pa kayo." Valentina grabbed my arm.
