Lost Girl From Neverland

Chapter II: Not By Blood But Hearts

**************************

Wynter Jesslyn Lim

Pag dating ko sa school, dumiretso ako sa Starbucks at doon ko nakasalubong sina Ember, Xandra at Jianna na kapwa abalang nag kakape. It seems like mga inaantok pa silang tatlo, what's wrong with them? Ang aga aga para silang mga patay na bumangon. Naging zombie na rin ba sila but yung gumagalaw version? As usual maaga silang pumapasok at sinasadaya nilang hindi kumain para pag masdan ang gwapong barista dito, he's not that handsome for me though.

His name is Bryson Kim, a part timer here at Starbucks. Don't get him wrong dahil nang galing siya sa mayamang pamilya, they own a water station at maraming branches yon dito sa buong Pilipinas. Well base on my sources, he wants to learn kung papaano mamuhay ng hindi dumedepende sa iba at mas lalo na sa mga magulang niya. He decided to work here dahil malapit lang sa school, hindi siya magkaka headache sa byahe.

Nag aaral siya dati sa ibang bansa but he went back here in the Philippines, ayaw niya daw doon kase masyadong malungkot. I think? Bumalik siya nung second year college ako, classmate namin siya ni Jian sa isang specific subject. Magka kilala sila ng kaibigan ko at nag uusap din sila minsan pero kami? Nope we don't talk to each other nor close to one another, maraming nag hahabol na babae sa kaniya at hindi ako kasali doon.

"Wynter! Over here!!". Masayang pag anyaya ni Jian saakin while waving her hand. Oh my goodness, how long do I have to endure everything? Jianna is my best friend pero minsan parang gusto ko siyang ideny, I mean you can call me but don't scream my fucking name for heaven's sake! Ngayon? Kilala na ako ng buong mundo, it's all her fault.

Agad akong lumapit doon dahil para siyang naka inom na hindi mo maintindihan, nakipag beso-beso ako then I tried to smell her and she's not drunk. Talagang para lang siyang naka takas sa mental institution, I can't help but sighed heavily then sat down beside her and Ember. These two are busy daydreaming while staring at Bryson, can I just wear a mask para walang makita ng mukha ko? Ang weird ng mga kaibigan ko.

"Ember for goodness sake naman, kaka-break niyo lang ng boyfriend mo bago mag pasukan tapos naka hanap ka na kaagad ng target mo? That's Bryson Kim, he won't even give you a single glance and to imagine na magiging kayo? That's too impossible". I reminded her. Jianna bursted into laugher, what? Totoo naman ang sinabi ko eh. That cold-hearted barista is neither a Casanova nor trans but he's just too introvert.

Kahit wala akong source, it's obvious. Naka ngiti siya sa mga customer pero pag tapos niyang mag serve? Babalik na kaagad yung labi niya sa dati, it's like para siyang may bipolar problems. I don't want to judge naman, at least hindi siya babaero or whatsoever. Kung sakali mang magka tuluyan sila ni Ember? I would be thrilled but of course, masama ang managinip ng gising kase baka masagasaan ka sa daan.

"Wynter, walang imposible sa pag ibig atsaka hindi ko boyfriend si Cj okay? He's just my fling, hindi uso saakin ang relationshits". She clarified. Well it's Ember Moon that were talking about so figures, I won't be surprised kung sakaling makaka hanap siya ulit ng panibong so-called 'fling' niya. Marami namang pwede diyan sa tabi-tabi eh, it won't be too hard for her dahil maganda siya.

"Alam mo ikaw Wynter? Ang bitter mo! Try mo kayang mag jowa? Baka sakaling magkaroon naman ng tamis yang buhay mo". Suhestiyon ni Jianna saakin. C'mon too much sweets aren't good for your health so stop that bullshit, magiging cause lang ng diabetes ang sobrang matamis and for the record? Nagka boyfriend na ako before, hindi nga lang siguro halata saakin or what but I had once upon a time.
