Prescripto

Isn’t it apparent that my last two entries were nonsense?

I believe I don’t have the capacity to make up for a gibberish entry but at least let me try.

As usual, I was late for the graduation practice again so I was not able to sign for the morning attendance. I’ve been terribly lethargic these days. When I wake up every morning, there’s always this fracas in my mind whether I should go to school or not. At first, my biological impulse, that is, impulse to sleep , seems to gain a perceptible advantage but after an hour of just lying in my bed and letting this war to go on, I will eventually decide to go to school anyway.

We (Linnae) were supposed to eat together (as we always do) in Mcdo today.

But I missed it.

Do you care to know why?

Well, it’s his fault I didn’t get to eat with Linnae so he had no right to wish me death if I talk about this. I’ll break his nose if he does.

Juan Carlos is a pseudonym. Pramis.

You see, we were playing Simpson-Samson (I’m not sure if the spelling is correct, nevertheless, it’s still that game that expunged my dignity in front of a junior) when he said that he needed to go to Rob to activate his card. I don’t know what he’s talking about so I didn’t ask any further. I just told him to go back and I’ll wait for him.

Fast forward…

I sat below the tree and later on chatted with Ninyo who also seemed to be waiting for someone. Jek, Abbey and Jennifer were there as well. To amuse myself, I content myself with bantering everyone (which is mostly singing a song to Ninyo with revised lyrics) and joking about…stuff. After some time, Jek, Abbey and Jennifer left.

Fast forward…

I was still teasing Ninyo when Llamas and Margaux came. They seemed to be waiting for someone too, or at least Margaux was. I guess Llamas was only taking her to the jeep stop. Nonetheless, it was fun mocking Llamas and making tall tales (I got that from Laarni) about Llamas getting himself in a fight with this and that. I even got to know some controversial stuff about Ninyo; thereby refilling my Asar ammunition.

Fast forward…

45 minutes… still no sign of him.

Fast forward…

“You’re waiting for…?”, Llamas asked.

“Yamada?”, Margaux smirked.

I smiled.

“Alam na.”

“Ah, oo nga pala! Nasa Rob siya. Nakita namin siya.”

“Yeah, he’s with-uhm… Juan Carlos.”

“Er – sino?”

“Juan Carlos.”

Silence.

“Hahaha! Pinagpalit ka na sa lalaki!”

Silence.

“Anong ayos nila?”

“Gidget?!”

(Ninyo and Llamas began guffawing hard.)

“Uhm…they’re like this oh (Llamas wrapped his arms at Margaux’s waist for a couple of seconds)…”

“WHAT?!”

“Oo, kaya pumunta ka na sa Rob. Ay hindi, sa motel ka na pala pumunta –“

“SHUT UP Ninyo!”

Fast Forward…

“Ayan na si Yamada!”

I stared at where Margaux was pointing.

And he’s smiling mockingly at me.

Juan Carlos was beside him.

And Juan Carlos was wearing a sleeveless shirt.

A sleeveless shirt.

Sleeveless.

Hahahaha!

Fast Forward…

“At dahil sa’yo, iniwan na ako ng Linnae! Ang tagal-tagal mo kasi!”

“Ganun na ba talaga ako katagal?”

“Oo! Palibhasa kasi, hindi mo napapansin ang oras ‘pag kasama mo si Juan Carlos. Wish mo sana tumigil na ang oras!”

“Nyeee….sino ba naman kasi ang nagsabi sa ‘yo na hintayin mo pa ako?”

Come to think of it, who told me to wait for him? That time, I could hear my stomach rumbling. I was supposed to sell my phone for a few thousand bucks…but I didn’t get to because – because – well…I waited for him.

“Papaactivate lang ng card more than 1 hour pa!”

“Eh hindi lang kasi pagpapaactivate ng card ang ginawa ko eh-“

“So ibig sabihin may iba ka pang ginawa?! Nag quality time kayo ni Juan Carlos!”

“Nyeee! Haha!”

“Oh kitams! Bakit ka kinikilig? Nagbublush ka pa nga oh!”

“Hahaha!”

I smelled my palm just now.

As I expected, I could still smell his perfume in my hand.

I’m planning to be absent tomorrow.
