Kabanata 2...
Just to make sure
Kunot-noo kong kinuha ang cellphone mula sa gilid habang nakahiga pa rin at balot ng kumot.
"What?" Mahaba kong sabi pagkasagot ng tawag.
"Get up!"
"WHY?!"
"Wha- Why?! You said to wake you up at this hour because you think you'll wake up late!"
Umirap ako bago pa umupo sa kama.
Before we end up our call last night, I told him to call me again at this morning because I really think hindi ako magigising ng maaga. I have a morning class today since it's Friday. Well, I didn't think he'd really call me, but I'm thankful though.
"Alright, alright..."
I heard him click his tongue and I chuckle.
"Sleepy head..."
"What?" Natatawa kong sabi.
"Nothing. So, you're going now?"
"Of course not! I'm not attending classes without a shower,"
"So, you're gonna take your shower right now?"
"Yes, thank you for waking me up. I almost forgot to thank you," I laugh.
"Small thing. Should I end this call now?"
"Unless you want to go with me in the shower?" Humalakhak na ako.
"Hm... If you want to,"
Muli akong bumunghalit ng tawa.
"Idiot! I was just joking! I'll end the call now," tumatawa ko pa ring sabi.
He chuckles at the other line.
"Alright, alright... but if you wa—"
Muli akong tumawa ng malakas bago nauna nang patayin ang tawag. Napailing na lamang ako.
Naughty boy.
"Morning!" Mabilis ko munang niyakap si Mommy na nasa hapag kainan, nagkakape. "Where's dad?"
"Went up early. May gagawin pa raw s'ya sa kanilang office. Hindi ka na ba kakain?"
"Hindi na po. Sa school na lang siguro,"
"Hm... naririnig kita kagabi. Sinong kausap mo sa kwarto mo?" Sumimsim ito sa kan'yang kopita.
"Bagong friend ko my," ngumisi ako.
"Bagong friend? Sino?"
"His name's Clyde Asher,"
Tumaas lang ang kilay nito at tumango sa akin.
Muli naman akong lumapit sa kan'ya ng nakangisi at humalik sa pisngi n'ya bago na tumulak paalis.
Naging normal lamang ang naging araw ko sa school na iyon. Typical schoolmates na tila lagi akong may ginagawang masama kung makatingin, typical teachers as well. Fortunately, hindi ko naman nakita ang pagmumuka ng isang demonyo, and typical Kai, Sawyer, Adonis, and Olivia.
Matapos umuwi at habang nasa hapag-kainan ay naikwento naman ni Mommy Kay Daddy ang naikwento ko sa kan'ya kanina ng umaga.
"May bago ka raw palang kaibigan, sabi ng mommy mo..."
"Opo, meron," sandali akong ngumiti bago ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain.
"Lalaki na naman?"
Kumunot ang noo ko kasabay ng paglunok.
