Chapter 6: Ruin-er

"Yes, reasonably if that's what you want to hear again." I rolled my eyes. Before they could laugh, my door opened and Casselle entered the room.

"Hi, Cass!" Chelle loudly said.

"Hi," she said with a medium-pitch voice, her get-up seems like she was about to sleep but just remembered that my friends are here. "I was actually about to sleep. But then I remembered I should just sleep here because you pretty girls are here." Her voice was still jolly but I can sense that she's really sleepy.

I haven't asked her for a while what are the things that occupy her day. She always seemed busy.

She sat on my bed, and we followed her. I just realized that we are standing for minutes instead of relaxing in my couch or in my bed.

"Aw, thanks." Chelle said with a baby voice, it even made me cringe. Vien just smiled, she was sitting beside Casslie.

"Why don't we watch a movie? Or make a girls talk?" Chelle said, her one brow raising.

"Girls talk?" I asked.

"About what?" Casslie asked.

"About stuffs." Chelle replied, she was grinning. We look at her suspiciously.

"Stuffs.. hmm.. about what?" Vien was chuckling when she said that.

"About.. good looking guys, handsome people we passed by.. unintentionally, guys we like, guys we preferred." She said, chuckling.

Her words made us laugh so hard. I even throw her a pillow beside me.

"You're such a flirt!" I yelled. She just laughed at me and grabbed the pillow that I had thrown to her on the floor. She placed it on her lap and continue chuckling.

"Yeah, yeah you can say that." She said, grinning.

"So what thought was insisting you to talk about those 'stuffs'?" Vien said. She stood up and sat beside me.

"Oh my gosh, I'm not ready to tell you guys about this," she chuckled and bit her lip, she even placed her hairs behind her ears and took a deep breath. She was making us laugh so hard, my tummy was even hurting because of her. She chuckled again, "So... I've encountered a guy at the mall while I was buying some chips and stuffs... and assuming as always I thought he was following me!

Because I was feeling that someone was really stalking me behind my back, I became so alert.. and guess what? I made an instant turn to confront who that alien is!

Ugh, it's a bit embarrassing to tell you about this.. but my mouth gaped when I saw him! He was freaking gorgeous, he's not an alien but the word perfection! Yes, it's dumb.

And because of that stupid action, he looked at me like 'what are you doing?' I felt nervous and ashamed of course, like who wouldn't!? I just made an overreacting turn to him and suspected him with my stares and action! I said sorry to him, but I was still assuming that he was really following me. And me being myself, I honestly said that.. that not because he is handsome I will not assume anymore that he was stalking me."

What the heck.

My eyes widened, "What?" Did she really said that to a stranger she thought was stalking her? That was so embarrassing!

"You did what?" Vien said, exaggerating her breathing.

"Yes, I know I'm stupid. Good thing that we're in a mall, tho. Or else if he was really a stalker or some bad guy and I shouted to him like that. I'm gone by now." She said, shooking her and laughing. Seems like 'something more' happened.

"Then what happened?" Casslie asked. She looks so hooked to what we're talking about.

"I-.. I-.. I mean he just laugh. And he apologized. He said he didn't mean to follow me. That he was just looking for a certain food too, the same food I was looking for. I tried to be humble, okay? But the best I did was to roll my eyes. And.. and he followed me! Like what the? Right? He started trying to make conversation for I don't know what reason. I can't take his humbleness and we ended up talking nicely and me.. me getting his number."

Woah.

Our chuckles filled my room. I, I mean we and especially her, can't help but to laugh harder.

"That was such an ungirly thing." Vien commented. She was shooking her head like she can't believe that our friend did that.

Like that was not a usual thing in the Philippines! That was so kind of liberating! And very embarrassing for me. The pride? Like where is the pride she showed him at first? That was the embarrassing thing for me, it was like she was very easy to get! Ugh!

"Excuse me. Me, a girl?" Chelle with a meany voice said.

"Then, an unwomanly thing. Happy now?" I said, laughing at her meanness. She's just really like that.

"Yes.. but.. that was so beyond the line! Like.. really, an unwomanly thing!?" She even held her chest.

Gosh. Is she my friend?

It's was an ashaming fact of me.. lol.

***

Honestly, I don't know what time it is right now.

After the topic we had earlier, it continued to one topic to another. Mostly were about the school, guys we like or prefer, and many more nonsense stuffs. Literally no sense at all.

And now we just planned to watch a movie. We are here in the kitchen because we are cooking some popcorns and fries. Casslie doesn't want to go down anymore so we just left her in my room, selecting an enjoyable movie to watch. I told her to pick an American horror movie to be more enjoyable and thrilling.

"I didn't catch even a single glimpse of Lock by the way. Where is he?" Vien gently asked, as if she can hide her curiousness to me. Well, not anymore. She is my bestfriend and I know for a long time that she really like him.

And I noticed that she really like him since she started asking about him when we were just 13. So young and until now I can sense that she's still into him.

"Curious as always. Okay, let me just let it pass..." I looked at her who's helping me to guard the popcorn on the stove. I saw her bit her lip, she seemed a bit shy but already used to my words. I chuckled with a low voice, only audible for her. "For the information you want to know, he is in Siargao, enjoying his single life with his guy friends.. and maybe with beautiful women around him. What do you think?" I teasingly smiled at her. Making her more paranoid. I can see the way her brows furrowed, her eyes became unfocus, and the way she tried to gulp for a voice she's trying to aim.

She didn't look at me when she opened her mouth for a reply, "Uh.. uhm, good for him. I wish him a happy vacation. Tell him not to prison his self in studying to much. It's.. it's bad for his body and mind."

"Yeah, I always tell him that. And also, he will be there for 2 long weeks. So he must be very blooming when he got home. You think?" I asked, smirking discreetly.

She glanced at me, "Uh, yeah." She said uneasily and out of focused.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"It's done!" I exclaimed when I saw the dried popcorns popping into it right size.

She gave me a bowl, still out of focused. I glanced at Chelle and saw her busy with our Pomeranian and Chinese Sharpei babies.

Our babies followed us even when we got in my room.

"Perfectly cook or perfectly burned?" Casslie asked, a bit harsh.

"Common sense. Can't you see the thing I'm holding?" I said, rolling my eyes, and handed it to her who's now resting in my bed with the remote of the tv beside her.

Last time we watched a movie, I cooked a popcorn and it was so much a fail. I was wrong 'cos last time I thought it should be cooked like a hotdog or an egg.

She chuckled, "I just thought..."

"Things can be improve by practice." I mumbled. She just chuckled again.

"Affected much."

I frowned, "Shut up."

She played the movie and the opening of the movie started. Seems so scary.

Vien and Chelle squeezed theirselves so hard between me and Casslie. They haven't prepared yet because they were finding a charger that is why when they heard the thrilling sound, they immediately jumped in the bed. It made us laugh.

The movie was starting when we heard a phone call.

Who is that ruin-er? As if there is such a word like that. Oops, yes, there is.

Seriously? Whose phone is that? And who would call to that person this time in the middle of the night!? Ugh!
