STORMIE's 

Gosh! I'm about to get late. And here I am, droppin by pa sa Cafe Luna to get my daily dose of matcha. Susunduin pa sana ako ni Riri but I told her na nadala na ni Mama yung car ko sa unit. Hayy, I miss bluu na tuloy! I mean, my motorbike though. Mahihirapan rin naman akong gamitin since maulan ngayon.

"One Iced Matcha Latte for Ms. Stor---" hindi ko na rin pinatapos at kinuha ko na agad yung order ko kay Ate Camille. 

"Oh my- --"

"Oh.. crap."

. Natapunan ako. Natapunan ako ng MATCHA sa damit ko! Oh my god! I'm wearing my uniform and. Ugh. 

"- ~ Sorry, Miss!" Sorry? 

"No, no I- Ako naman yata yung nakabangga?" Yea, I do think ako nakabangga sakanya kakamadali ko. 

Oh. She's the girl! She doesn't have mask now.

Ang pogi nga?

"- Sorry talaga, nakawhite ka pa naman and uhm.. Wait." gumilid kami and binaba niya yun bag and yung tube. She removed her jacket and gave it to me. "Uhmm, nagcolor green na yung damit mo, you can wear that muna." 

"Thanks." bago pa matuloy ang sinasabi ko tumawag na si Riri asking where I am na.  Dumerecho na rin yung girl sa c.r I think? Baka magpapalit? Since medyo nabasa rin siya nung matcha ko. 

Hinabol rin ako ni ate Camille para sa order kong natapon, pinalitan niya na rin. Ang babait talaga ng mga staff nila mama sky dito. 

We're having lunch here sa Cafe Luna habang chinichismis nila ako about what happened daw kanina dito sa Cafe Luna because I am wearing "that girl" jacket.

"Nakapagpalit na siya ng shirt pero suot pa rin niya yung jacket ni Mavy hmm.. I smell-"

"Shut off, Vinci. I'm just cold, that's why."

"Yea, my shirt just that thin. We still have vacant after lunch do you want to get changed sa unit mo?" Riri asked, I shooked my head.
"No na, last class na rin naman."

"Where's Maxi na ba? Gosh! That girl talaga so harot!" mahinang sigaw ni Isla. 
"And where's Ali? I didn't see her kanina pa after I came back from the washroom?"tanong naman ni Riri.

"Nasa bff niya, dumaan dito kanina eh. Hindi ko nga napansin kung kasama niya yung mga frenny niyang sila Mavy." sagot naman ni Vinci. 

"Marites ka talaga!"
"Ano naman sayo, Mariposa?"

"Wh- Mariposa?!"

"Stop that. Nagaaway na naman kayo."

I'm about to get my coffee here sa Starbucks since we have early dismissal today when I saw a familiar person na pumasok inside the cafe. 

.

Wrong timing naman 'tong kumag na 'to! Why am I here ba kasi sa SB?

Well, you're gonna get your coffee lang naman because you still have class ng 6pm to 7pm. UGH.

! What am I going to do?! Help! Somebody!

He's getting closer??

".. Uhh.. H-hey.." ewan ko rin, bahala na si lord!

Lumingon naman yung katabi ko na nakaupo, "Hmm?"

Oh. It's Mavy! Oh good lord! Buti siya itong nandito.

"C-can you do me a favor? Please?" puppy eyes na lang tayo, sis. Tangina, this is not me. 

She looks at me confused, I know. I know! 

I sat beside her. Agad naman siyang umayos ng upo. 

"I need you to be my girlfriend for like five minutes or so?"

Hindi pa siya nakakasagot sakin when this kumag calls me. Nasa harap na pala namin siya. Bwisit naman!

"Hey, Babe. Lune.." napataas naman yung kilay ko sa pagtawag nito.
"Stop don't call me that."

"Lune naman.. I told you that's not-"
"Stop. Matagal na tayong tapos, Kali."

"Lune.." 

Nagulat ako sa biglang paggalaw ng katabi ko. She removed her headphones before stretching. "Hey, love. I think that's your drink. Excuse me, I'm gonna get it."

Ah. Yea, right. My coffee. 

"Here you go." I smiled at her.  "Thanks!"
"And who-" 

"Ah, he's just my friend, love."

"Love?! Lune, is this-"

"I'm done here, love. Let's go?" Ah, nakapagligpit na pala siya ng ipad niya.

"Y-yea, let's go."

"And if you're wondering, bro. Yes."

"What?"

She leaned to his ears and whispers, "She's my girl." before holding my hand.

Gosh, that's not bulong! I heard that! Clearly!

"Sorry.. Is it good?" tanong nito ng bitawan niya ang kamay ko, medyo nakalayo na rin kami from SB LaCons. 

I purses my lips. Crap! I don't want to smile. This is so not me. 

I think I'm kinikilig?!

"Y-yes. Uhm. Thank you.."

"Maverick Montenegro. Mavy will do."

"Mavy. Yea, I heard you're quite popular with your twin."

"Ohh. Not really. Yung kambal ko lang yun."

"Still. But yea, thank you, Mavy. I'm Stormie by the way."

"Cute.. And still wearing my hoodie huh?" 

"Ha?"

"Ah wala. I thought Lune name mo since that guy called you Lune kanina.."

"Ohh that.. That's my name too. It's Lune Storm. But people call me Stormie."

"MAV!!"
"Maveeeeeh!"

Nagulat naman kaming dalawa na napalingon kung nasaan man ang mga sumigaw. 

Oh. San Beda unif. 

Ah. Yea, right. His twin brother is a law student here nga pala.

"Ah- Stormie, sige. Una na ako, andyan na yung dalawang not-so-kuya ko."

"Ohh ah, yea yea. Sige.. Thank you ulit!" she smiled. Gosh! Ampogi?! "No worries."

"Oh, Mavy- wait! Y-yung jacket mo pala?" I was about to take it off pero pinigilan niya. "You can give it back next time, Lune."

MAY NEXT TIME?!
