"Wait up for me later ha," Noah reminded Dior ng ibaba ito sa UPIS.
"Luh, mamaya kalimutan mo na naman ako!" She pouted habang inaayos ang pagkakasuot ng kaniyang backpack. Noah laughed and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"We'll see." He kidded, "Pero kapag ganon ulit. You know the drill!"
"Apaka mo, Kuya!" Dior laughed. Noah's pretty forgetful, wala naman dong bago, and she doesn't mind commuting naman. She wanted to learn how to be independent, feeling niya kasi masyado siyang binibaby ng mga friends niya but she likes it anyway.
She greeted the students na mga nasasalubong niya habang papunta sa room, her mood turned brighter when she saw Jordi in their classroom.
"Hi!" She chirpped, her lips twitching nung mapansin na katabi pala nito si Ria. Jordi gave her a tight lipped smile, hindi katulad nung dati na labas ngipin na ngiti tapos guguluhin pa buhok niya.
"Hi," He greeted bago bumaling muli kay Ria dahil may sinasabi ito.
"Oy, LQ na naman?" Collin, being his chismoso self, whispered ng maupo na siya sa tabi nito.
"Huh?" She blinked, and glanced at Jordi na tumatawa ngayon sa sinasabi ni Ria. Dior sighed and pouted.
"A Q without an L involved," She shrugged kaya natawa si Collin.
"Ang bitter?" He joked kaya napataas ang kilay ni Dior.
"Nino?"
"Both kayo." Collin shrugged, "Bitter ka kay Ria, then Jordi's bitter with Bryce."
"Bakit si Bryce?"
"Eh magkasama kayo nung last?"
"Tapos?" Dior was confused. Ano naman ngayon kung magkasama sila ni Bryce? Was Jordi jealous? She quickly shook her thoughts away. Ayan na naman, aasa na naman siya but then madidisappoint 'coz Jordi's not really saying or doing anything that can confirm it.
"Ay basta! Bahala kayo!" Dior laughed when Collin frowned and threw her a frustrated look.
"Well, he could just ask naman para hindi siya mabitter." Dior whispered kaya parang mas lalong nafrustrate si Collin.
"Eh ikaw din naman! You can ask what's with him and Ria para hindi ka din nabibitter."
"I'm not bitter." Depensa ni Dior, pero nangiwi din siya ng biglang magsalita yung sub-conscious niya tapos sinabayan pa ni Collin. Talaga ba?
Well, she's slightly bitter pero mas nangingibabaw yung pagtataka kung bakit parang ang distant bigla ni Jordi sa kanya.
"Eh ano pala?"
"Was just thrown off-guard with Jordi's sudden hostility towards me." She mumbled bago ngumiti ulit, "Hoy sabit mo ko sayo mamaya ha?"
Kasi for sure, she would be so awkward kung nasa iisang group sila ni Jordi tapos sasama si Ria. Hindi pa man din siya makakakain kapag may awkwardness sa atmosphere.
"User ka ha!" Collin laughed ng biglang sumimangot si Dior, "Joke lang! Hiwalay na lang tayo nila Abel. Awkward din kami don kay Ria eh. Medyo epal. Joke!"
When their dismissal came, Dior was left with Collin and Abel. Pare-parehong nakatunganga sa labas ng UPIS.
"Susunduin ka daw ba?" Abel asked habang kumakain ng Stick-O na binili niya kaninang lunch.
Dior glanced at her phone, pero wala namang text si Noah. She shrugged.
"Sabi ni Kuya kanina, oo daw. Pero mukhang hindi na ata. I'll just commute."
"Bakit hindi ka na lang sumabay kina Jordi?" Collin suggested pero blanko lang naman siyang tinignan ni Dior.
"Bakit?!" He laughed, "Nag-suggest lang naman! You can always talk to Kuya Joe, or Kuya Juan and Kuya Javi!"
"Pero ang weird kasi hindi kakausapin si Jordi. Obob ka din Collin," Abel shook his head.
"Nah. Don't wanna put those three in an awkward situation. Okay na ako na kayo lang malagay doon. Joke!" She laughed, "Nagugutom ako."
"Ako din! Tara UPTC. Gusto ko ng milktea."
