"Ice!" sigaw ng dalawa sa likuran ko pero I didn't manage to turn around

"Uy sorry na, we just thought baka magwork-out kayo ni veronica" Daniel said ng maabutan nila ako

"So we pushed her to court you" proud na dagdag ni Stacey. They are my friends pero sa ngayon I think hindi, they are pushing me to like the campus princess Veronica.

"You know na magagalit si Amber pag nalaman niya mga pinaggagawa niyo" I answered with a serious tone.

"Eto nanaman tayo sa ka-loyal'an ng nag-iisang yelo sa campus" pang-aasar ni Stacey, I was named Ice because of my coldness 'daw' sa iba.

"Imagine this, si Amber libo-libong kilometro ang layo sayo. Si Veronica katabi lang ng room natin"

"Si Amber average lang, si Veronica almost perfect kung malamangan lang sana niya talino mo"

"Si Amber hindi mo nakakasama nakikita araw-araw. You can't even tell kung yung mga sinasabi niya ba totoo lahat diba? Si Veronica, well hindi ko yun kailangang bantayan kase deads yun sayo"

They fed me with comparisons of the two na halata namang they are siding with Veronica hanggang sa makarating kami sa classroom.

"Amber liked you after you showed everything. Veronica liked you eversince. There's a big difference" hirit pa ni Stacey pero nagpanguna na ako sa paglakad at umupo sa pwesto ko. Usually the most attentive students sits infront, sa right side ko si Daniel at si Stacey naman sa left side.

"Amber liked you after you showed everything. Veronica liked you eversince. There's a big difference"

Nagpaulit-ulit ang sinabi ni Stacey sa isip ko and I recalled what happened before.

I was scrolling at my social media account nang makita ko profile ni Amber sa 'people you may know' I clicked the add button. Within seconds she accept it. Days passed we've been chatting every single day, I've been telling every inch of details about me and all I knew is the basics in her. I barely knew her while she knew everything about me. After courting her she answered me yes at kami pa hanggang ngayon, but I never as in never felt loved by Amber my friends can sense it though i tried to hide kaya siguro nila ako pinu-push kay Veronica.

Meanwhile, our math teacher proceeded to his discussion. He's been talking about Mean and Median for almost 30 minutes now, I checked my phone for a message and luckily I got one from my girlfriend.

'Hello babe! How's school? Hope it's fun. Grab your snacks okay? Take care! btw babe I need a laptop for my research papers. Buy me one pleaseeeeee, Iloveyou'

Hindi ko alam na habang binabasa ko pala ang message nakikibasa rin ang dalawa. I looked at the teacher pero nagdidiscuss lang siya.

"let me reply your girlfriend bits" stacey said and I handed her the phone.

'Sure babe, gotta lot of presents for the most beautiful girlfriend I have'

"Halata naman ang modus ng babaeng yan, here's the plan. My laptop is brand new, give it to her. In person"

"Baliw ka ba Stacey? She's too far?" sabat ni Daniel.

"Nothing's too far with a chopper. Walang problema sa chopper kase may silbi ka right?" my friends are damn rich I mean we all are except Veronica. She's titled campus princess cause she's the most.

"no need guys. I can just send the money, I don't need to travel that far" sagot ko pero deep inside me I bet on Stacey's idea. After couple of months I wanted to hold and see her pero I'm so weak. I have all the money and time but I'm not confident enough.

The two eyed me na parang hindi sila convinced.

"Here's the deal. Tonight babyahe tayo, be romantic as you wished to be pero pag napatunayan nating tatlo na Amber wants nothing but your riches. Leave her and your feelings there before we come back to Manila"

Tumango nalang ako sa kaibigan ko, she have a point actually she's 85% right. I'm going to end this tonight.
