"Take a look at what you did earlier!" Tate chuckled.
"You really shouldn't post it on social media."
"Oh, as if you care about the thoughts from those bitches" I rolled my eyes for what she said.
I don't give a damn for anyone else's satisfaction. I didn't do that for the purpose, hindi para ipahiya ang babaeng' kasama niya.
"Shay is right, it's delikado kasi she looks like a kontrabida on that show." Jael said.
Inayos niya ang skirt niyang' nakulangan sa tela. I hate that kind of outfit when I'm the one who wearing it, pero bakit ayos lang sa iba kung titignan ang ganyan na pananamit?
Unfair.
"You're one of the tomboy na Shay?" Halos ibato ko sakanya ang librong hawak nang makita niya akong nakatingin.
"Where he is pala?" Pag-iiba ko ng paksa.
Tate was distracted on her phone.
Umalis siya pagkakatayo niya at tumabi sa akin, hindi makitaan nang pagkabigla sa agaran kong tanong. She sighed and put her arms around me.
"We broke up months ago." Just as I thought. Jael and Eian aren't that couple pero nang' makitaan ko ng ganitong reaksyon si Jael, there's something up about her relationship with him.
"And right now Xyrell posted a picture of him with caption I got what I want with a big heart in the end." Jael snatched Tate's phone. And I completely say -
"What a bitch?" Jael already said it. I don't understand why they break up when in the first part of it they love each other? or I missed something that I can't figure out yet.
"So what are we gonna do?" I crossed my arms.
"I hate being hater here." Tate and Jael eyed me.
"Look - Xyrell is nice naman diba? At hiwalay naman na kayo ni Eian." Jael rolled her eyes while Tate agreed.
"But she's a bit bitchy." Dagdag ni Tate habang may tinatawagan sa kabilang linya.
"Kuya Samuel, can you pick me up here?" She glanced at me and gave me a smirk like a little bummer. Oh I hate that kind of idea.
She loudspeaker it para marinig ko. Bakas ang pagkagulat sa mga mata niya and it changed into irritation.
"You're with who? Kuya Sam." My heart went fast when I heard his voice clearly.
"I'm with Aurora here at a cafe." The earth curse.
"I'm with Yuri, here next to me.
"Its okay kuya." Mahihimigan ang mapaglarong boses niya, siniko ko siya.
"What?-" Tate ended the call right away. She laughed after. Jael on the other hand got upset about the photo of her ex.
"You're literally crazy, Tate." I uttered.
Inayos ko na ang mga gamit para makapag-handa na sa next class ko.
"I'm not the only one Shay." She smiled at me like a foolish. Inilingan ko na lamang siya.
Hindi na din kami nagtagal pa at mayroon din kaming' kanya-kanyang gawain, hindi ko nga lang segurado kung maayos na ba si Jael noong' umalis ako.
She can take care of herself anyway.
"Kuya sam is so furious, naabutan ko siya sa living room pagka-uwi ko!" Exaggerated.
Ang pinagtataka ko lang kung bakit ganoon ang naging' reaksyon niya nang malaman kong magkasama sila ng babaeng iyon, iba din ang ipinapakita sa mga kinikilos niya.
"And he's earlier than I thought." I heard her giggles. What a shipper Tate is going so far.
Sinimulan ko ang umaga ko sa pagtanaw sa malayo. Friday is a great day not until
"You're not going out with me?" Nagtatampong' tanong sa akin at pasalampak na umupo sa kama ko.
"Tate, pahinga day ko bukas and I can't go out at night alam mo yan." She pouted. May lakad sila ng kapatid niya kasama ang circle nito. I can't do anything about it since kasama naman nila si Aurora.
"Because of Aurora? Ayaw ko nga siya makasama but kuya already said it na she's in" I don't know much about Aurora bukod sa cheerleader siya noong' high school and they studied in the same school with them.
"Mag-tiis kana lang para sa kapatid mo, at isa pa diba nandoon yung crush mo?"
"Who's that again?" I teased her mas lalo lang siyang bumusangot. She throws the kuromi pillow.
"I- I don't know, wala naman na kaming' usap." Delusional. Tate is one of the most beautiful on my circle, hindi ko alam kung ano ginagawa niya para ayawan siya.
"At isa pa, he's not my ideal type anyway." Flicking a hanging stick on a wall. I nodded at her as if I'm convinced.
"Is he not that cute?" Inagaw ko ang unan sa kanya at itinabi sa akin.
She crossed her arms "Just one day that he was with me." Bluffing on him.
"How about kuya Tate? Is he good for you."
"Your kuya is a good friend, nothing else." I said it directly.
"Why? Simula noon hindi kana nagkagusto sa iba after high school days." Kahit hindi kami pareho na pinasukan noong highschool, nagkikita naman kami everytime na may event competition in every school district.
Kaya hindi malabo to have a conversation with her. Since she's jolly and all, she first approached me in meetings.
"It doesn't mean may gusto pa ako sakanya."
"That was in high school, move on Tate." She gave me a pity look.
"Okay fine, can't move on from that kissing scene-" I threw my mini kuromi pillow over her face.
"Ouch!" Overacting bitch but I love her. We laughed after the conversation.
"But seriously, it was over." I smiled without a second thought. Hope so?
I can't move on too from that moment but at least I got my way out.
