Dahil malapit na ang tanghalian pumunta sila sa Mang Inasal.

|Harris POV|

Nakalalakad na si Harlette pero di masyado. Ang saya kasi masyado eh.

Dinala ko siya dito sa Mang Inasal. Ang mga kaibigan namin sumunod din. Ang mga loko. Kami ang magbabayad ng kakainin nila.

Ako na ang umorder ng kakainin namin ni Harlette.

Pagkatapos ay nagsimula na kaming kumain.

Nagkukwentuhan kami ni Harlette.

"How often do you play with your brother?" tanong ko.

"Everytime he's around. "

"Oh. Okay. When did you start playing chess? "

"Since grade 8. How about you?"

"Since grade 5. My father taught me."

Tumawa ako kasi naalala ko si kuya.

"Hey! Why are laughing? May dumi ba mukha ko?" tanong niya habang nakakunot ang  noo at itinuturo pa ang mukha niya.

"Wala. Ano ka ba. May naalala lang ako. "

"Ano iyon?" kunot-noong tanong niya.

"Kaming dalawa ni kuya ang tinuruan ni papa. Laging talo si kuya kapag naglalaro kami nun.  Everytime he loses, he will cry in front of me. Or not he will tell our parents that I'm just joking everytime I'll tell him that I win the game. "

"Oh that's it? Hahah. I imagined it. Dalawa lang ba kayong magkapatid? "

"No. May ate kami. Ikaw? "

"I have two elder brothers. I'm the last child. Hehe. Anyway I'm done eating," sabi niya at pinunasan ang labi niya.

"Ako rin tapos na akong kumain," sabi ko at uminom ng tubig.

|Third Person POV|

Habang kumakain at nagkukwentuhan sina Harris at Harlette ganoon din ang ginawa ng mga kaibigan nila.

"Glynne, you told us earlier that Harlette was the way why you and your boyfriend became couple. How?" Rex asked.

"Well, my bf and Harlette are cousins and best friends. Harlette noticed that Karl, my boyfriend likes me. So Harlette always teased me to him until he told the truth and asked help from Harlette so he can court me. By that time while he is courting me, Harlette always teased him to me. She tells Karl everything about me. That's why I fell in love. But now, I think our friend is in love," sabi ni Glynne at tumingin sa kinaroonan nina Harris.

"Haha. Yeah. It looks like. Same with my brother, " sabi ni Mark.

"Tell them Mark, how you and Jane became couple. To be fair," sabi ni Chris.

"Okay then. My brother know everything about me because I always inform him.  Except for one, I never told him about my crush, however, he was so observant that he noticed it. Jane was my classmate way back then. I didn't know Harris was following me during breaks. One time, Jane went to the garden. Harris was there with her. I felt jealous so I go near theme. My brother said, "Nandiyan na pala ang crush mo. Ang admirer mo. Bye you two, enjoy. " Then he moved away.  I was shocked with what he said and it's really true. I started courting her until she answered me," kwento ni Mark na masayang-masaya.

"Grabe naman yan. Nakakakilig!" sabi ni Lhyne.

"By the way bro, does your brother tell you something?" nakangising tanong ni Rex.

"Ano ba iyon?" nagtatakang tanong ni Mark.

"During that time, he uses as also to find out if Jane likes you. He also told us to take a photo of you during our class. Remember, Harris is not our classmate that time!" sabi ni Rex na ikinagulat ni Mark.

"Seriously? Why did he haven't told me?!" medyo inis na sabi ni Mark but deep inside he is overwhelmed.

"For him to show your pics soon when he wants to. Iyong mga litrato  and videos mo.  Nasa kanya. Haha. Wala na sa amin," sabi ni Chris.

Tawa lang ng tawa ang mga babae.

"See them guys, they seemed to be getting closer," sabi ni Kylie.

"Yeah. Let's find out what will happen sooner. " sabi ni Mark.

Lahat sila sinasabi sa isip nila na sana sila na lang talaga. Not just for one day.
