Three minutes later, people began to arrive in turns until the entire room was full. I sat separately with Nathaniel from a different angle because we have different guitar teachers. Also, he can't practice because he has a soccer practice schedule. So the seniors let us both leave earlier than the others.But before we could pack up and leave, the door of the room was pushed by a dogmouthedsenior. Mr. Tomas, who appeared as if accompanied by a trumpet sound. But he did not come alone, he also brought someone. And...That's Adrian! Shit!"This is our new members. From now on they will be practicing the guitar with everyone. Get along well, and do not play with each other." When he finished, he pushed open the door and walked away leaving these creatures who will become one of our club's new members. Didn't you say that you will not accept many people?"Introduce yourself." Kim spoke with a gentle smile.Then I turn to Nathaniel and scrape my mouth, ready to cry as if I am asking for
Cat cafe is owned by an alumnus from the Faculty of Architecture.On a normal day like this, wala nang mas masaya kaysa sa pagkansela ng umagang klase. What a great life. At this point, we are addicted to skipping class. It is becoming one of our nature. We would bring ourselves to sit chicly at the cafe in front of the Agriculture faculty.We really like the atmosphere here. Once we are fascinated with a store like this, we will stay here until the store closes. But the thing is, we need to arrive early here because if we will come late, this place will be filled by those muscular students wearing the engineering uniform. Some looked annoying but my friends and I are not afraid of them."Anong gusto niyong orderin?" Said Kat who was sitting on the sofa. Her eyes stared at the opposite table without blinking. Damn, if her eyes had legs, maybe she would end up looking for the boy on the other side."Anything," I answer."Anything." Yvonne says, too.All these stupid fucks who don't kno
I have been sitting here at Cat's Cafe for hours. At about noon, we are hoping to go get something to eat then go to our afternoon class. Yvonne and Kat put their copied homework into their bags. I separate from them to go to the toilet as I need to poop. I sit for a while and I hear someone walk in.I try really hard to fart quietly and poop politely, so I don't interrupt them. However, the person outside the stall is interrupting my private time with his guitar. I try not to scream at him out loud. I quickly finish my business, so I can get out tothrow a tantrum. And I actually get to throw it because the person on the sink counter is the popular guy. The guy that everyone admires and worships he is too perfect."It's you. Fucking Nathaniel! Why play the guitar here? It's annoying.""None of your business. I can play wherever I want.""Right." Arguing with him is a waste of energy, so I walked while stomping my feet to the sink and washed my hands. In a moment I realized that one o
I stared at my phone screen for a long time. The emotions in my heart were so chaotic that I could only say one sentence. I can only say... what the fuck!"Baliw ka talaga, ewan ko talaga sa’yo ‘no. Why did you only follow me? I don't want to be killed by your fans."The reason I said this is because I am worried about my life. Nathaniel’s fans are so scary. Once they find out, the explanation will be longer than the traffic in NLEX."I followed you because we're friends. ‘Wag ka na masyado mag-isip ng kung anu-ano”What the hell is this answer?"So, why didn't you follow your friends?""Stop asking. Or do you want to be something else?""Something else?""Umm. Be my girlfriend.""..." Okay, I don't want to argue anymore.It is better to take my time enjoying the food and ignore this man. He also swiped on his phone screen to play, while other people here are yelling like hungry dogs."Nathaniel, please like the photo I tagged you!""Nathaniel~""Go ahead. I think she is really crazy
The weekend is over. Life of Denise Merculio cool girl is still the same. Just living a peaceful life with my 'Male Leads', playing guitar in a music club, and attending or skipping classes. Adrian is still the same, still disturbing my life like a leech. He also tells everyone that I am pleased with what he bought for me.What the hell?Ang pinaka-importante sa akin ngayon ay ang relasyon ko kay Benjamin, siya iyong guwapong lalaki mula sa medical school. Nag-uusap kami halos gabi-gabi, pero saglit lang. Hindi dahil natutulog siya o takot na masayang ang pera sa phone bills, kundi dahil kay Nathaniel! He called me to interrupt us every night.And instead of taking a boy to buy ice cream or watch movies to build the seeds of love on Friday, my sweet dreams were destroyed by members of the music club. I should help them with the set up for the Music Festival, 'Alma matter fair event', this Sunday. Benjamin is also here, but not for long because he needs to do some activities at the M
I think bound has bound Nathaniel and I to be together. Even when we're in the music club, we still chat intimately."Kinain mo ba yung cake" I asked."Kinain ko naman… Medyo masarap." He answered with his usual deadpan face."I don't think that's delicious.""Umm. I think that's delicious."Huh? What?"Bakit bigla yatang nagbago ang ihip ng hangin, bumabait ka na, ha.”That's right... We're not the same as before. It's different from the first time we talked to each other in this music room. Hindi mo na ako sinusungitan masyado."Yeah, I think so.""So, how do we deal with this kind of strange something between us?""No need to do anything. Staying like this is good right now."Nathaniel and I sat cross-legged in a truly tragic position, very hopeless, because we're separated by Adrian. He sat between us and tried to squeeze us three together. I don't know what this is, and I really want to disappear from here."Can you please let go of my arm? Or Do you want me to kick you to make y
At night, my phone rang while I was happily playing a game. Curiosity rose little bylittle when one of my 'Female Leads', Kath, called. This is weird because usually, she won't call at this time because she only talks to her boyfriend every night.I didn't want to think that much so I picked up the phone and listened."What's up? Looks like..." Before I could finish my sentence, she immediately cut me.[O MY GOD, DENISE!]"Kat, Anong problema mo? Bakit parang naiiyak ka riyan?" I asked worriedly but he did not say anything. All I can hear are sobs from the other line. I have to wait for her to calm down before asking more questions. As a friend, I will support her and won't care about the phone bill."Hoy, Kath? Ano ngang problema?"[Denise, I'm so brokenhearted.]"Shit. Talaga ba?"[Everything is over. Damn! I caught him with that asshole.]"Kumalma ka lang muna, Kath. Maybe you just misunderstood."[What did I misunderstood? I asked him and he told me that the asshole is his new gi
I moved myself with difficulty while moaning under my breath. This kind of weather makes people not want to wake up, including me. So I pulled a pillow over my face to escape the morning sunlight. Kagabi, ako'y nagkaruon ako ng napakagandang panaginip. Napanaginipan kong nakikinig ako sa kanta ni Taylor Swift at pagkatapos ay nag-uusap kami ni Nathaniel tungkol sa isang bagay. Hindi ko alam kung kailan at paano ako nakatulog.Then suddenly..."Uhhh, umhmm..." Someone's moan reached my eardrum, but I did not care where that came from.The only thing I want to do right now is sleep. So I buried my head in the pillow and continued to sleep as if my life depends on it." Ummm...""Kath, stop moaning. It's annoying." I said without moving my body."Ang sakit.""...""Move, Stupid girl."I paused for a moment. The word 'stupid girl' kept ringing in my head. The only person who used that word is... Nathaniel! As soon as I thought of that popular man, I immediately opened my eyes."Stupid gir
