Nagrereview si Erika ng kanilang hand outs for Business English sa classroom nang dumating si Jayson at tumabi sa kanya. He is not the usual listless him that day. He was obviously giving her a grin. A grin Erika actually mistook for insanity.
“Hoy loko ka. Ang creepy mo!”
“Hindi ah, 15 days na ako sa diary ni Abby” tugon ni Jayson.
“At nakapagreview ka naman para sa quiz mamaya?” tanong ni Erika.
“Hindi gaano. I can muster the winds of Lady Luck”
“You could use a little of your flowery words Jay. Technical writing ito. Hindi Creative, ha?”
“Walang mali sa pag ibig”
“Sheez. Iyan ba napupulot mo sa diary na yan?”
He nodded.
“Romantic si Shadow girl. Akala ko isang emotard. Ayun, para akong nagbabasa ng pocketbook.”
“Really? So isang diary ng tweentard ang binabasa mo” sabi ni Erika.
“Oh yes, holler than thou Erika” sabi ni Jayson. In sarcastic laugh.
“Adik ka talaga!” tugon ni Erika, saka pabirong sinuntok si Jayson. “Say, sino si shadowgirl at si Paul?”
“Si shadowgirl ay si Abby, si Paul ay kathang isip ni Abby”
“Wait, me psychosis si Abby?” sabi ng dalaga.
“Matalino ka ano? Kaso walang common sense.” Pang asar ni Jayson.
“Ah ganon? Good luck mamaya sa quiz sa Economics, gamitin mo common sense mo run” saka tumalikod si Erika.
“Uy, BFF. I love you. Haha. Huwag ka nang magtampo oh”
“Okay. Okay. Joke lang. Ikaw kasi eh”
“Okay na, Sorry na po. Si William Mendez yung lalaki.”
Erika stopped as she heard the name.
“William Mendez? Siya. Eh bakit? Eh di ba, wala pa ring girl friend yon? Baka nga keme yun eh”
“I don’t know. Ang sweet ng description niya sa nangyayari.”
“I want to talk to William. Ikaw?”
“I’ll finish reading the diary first. Then, let’s investigate, okay?”
Erika trusted her friend’s instinct. She knew it is for best. For unknown reasons, she said yes.
Sa likod ng utak ni Jayson, mas uunahin niya nang makilala pa si Abby kaysa kay Erika. He knew his bestfriend, baka ma offend ang dalaga kapag nakaharap niya siya.
“Jay, dala mo ba?”
“Yes. Magbabasa muna ako run sa likod habang wala yung teacher natin. Day 16 na ako”
