Denver's Pov
I woke up Early this Saturday morning, for my groupmates Nick, Bob, Rein, Lei, Ricci and joy will come over.
The film will document my life and all, so of course we have to do it at my house. I just Hope things will go as we planned.
NO surprises please!.
My Mom and I already prepared things for our task. My Mom is kind of good at preparing when visitors are coming.
Rein was already at my house, since she just live a few blocks away from my house. She helped me prepare things. as for Lei and the others, they texted me last night that they will come together.
"So what happened to Ocampo? did you talk yesterday?" Rein said, asking about Rum.
"Well, Yeah. He told me it was just nothing. Since I was comfortable calling him that." I answered.
Rum told me yesterday about everything. I told him about the canteen incident and stuff. until Now, I seriously think He shouldn't have done it. I guess he has his reasons.
"hmmmmm" Rein gave me a weird, teasing look.
"Stop it!" I was annoyed. "he's not my Type you know it!"
"Just be careful Denver, last time you had a relationship, he almost got you kicked out of the school." Rein told me. My memories about my ex-boyfriend was still fresh. Especially the one he used me and I almost got kicked out.
"Advice taken." I made a grin.
We talk for a couple of minutes when We heard a Car honking from Outside! beep...beep!
We were about To head for the main door when my phone ringed. So I had to tell Rein to go first. The reason my phone ringed, was because I received a call. it was a call from Lei
I answered it. But the one who answered was not Lei. it was Rum.
Rum : Hey where are you?
me: I told you we have something to do today!
Rum: I know. but house owners should meet his visitors Denver. not a friend.
****call ended****
I cant believe he hung up on me, what does he mean house owners should meet his visitors.
I was interrupted when Rein shouted from the door. "Denver!"
"what?!" I shouted back
"I think you should come here" Rein told me.
I led myself toward the door, when I noticed a very familiar Car parked at the front. I got excited. I know they're friends, but is it necessary for them to have matching cars. I mean-
"Hey! Everyone has a mini cooper except me-"
Standing near the car's Driver seat was Rum. "Hi Denver"
Lei walked close to me. "I don't know Denver. He just went to my house and said he's picking me up."
I nodded. I told Rein and Lei to Lead the others towards our living room, while I discuss something with Rum. We talked yesterday and I said, I'm busy. I don't know why he's here. but lets hear his reasons.
"hey Rum, Why are you here? I thought we made it clear!" I told him, my right brow raising.
"hey, cool down! This is the teacher's fault." Rum protested.
"its because-" He continued. "we're the only pay that does not belong on the same group, and partners should go together even on Saturday- if there are activities"
This Buddy System is such a stupid idea. It can ruin your weekend.
"oh, ok." I said to him.
I'm really sure our group isn't the only group that decided to meet today. I asked Rum, "Wait, what about your group? "
"I'm just the editor. I can edit it tonight." Rum assured me.
Good thing. If he wasn't the editor, I know it'll ruin his Group Activity. Ok then, since he's here, I cant let him go home.
Rum and I headed for the others and started working. We worked at my backyard, since we have many kinds of flowers there and my mother just mowed the grass. Such a good Mother.
I think Rum's presence is actually useful here. He helps my teammates in other stuff, and helps me like bringing me snacks or water.
"thank You Mr. Assistant" I told him jokingly. As he gave me a bottle of Orange Juice.
I've already told him yesterday my favorites, so did he.
"I'm gonna get revenge" Rum let out a smile. Which I immediately put on record.
"You Laughed again Mr. R" I teased him.
"You've already called me many names huh?" Rum asked. Both of us having fun.
It was still Break time for me so I have time to do this. Nick and Bob are filming my house, I don't know what are they planning. I'm usually a director, but today guess I'm an actor.
"I can't believe You Prefer Mr. R than Yan-yan. Yan-yan is a good name." I tried to tell him.
"Don't you dare call me Yan-yan"
"Just kidding.. ahahah"
We talked to each other, until I noticed the others were coming to us. I don't really know if he was filming us since all of them are holding a camera.
Then we continued with our Filming. Will the Video turn out great?
***********************************************************************
We took our lunch break, around 11AM quarter to 12 noon, because I worry that some of this people have exact eating schedules or something like that.
I am responsible for everything that goes here in this house today. My mother is not around today, she has class reunion today, and had to leave but she helped me earlier. My younger brother is away, he lives in a dormitory for his school is far from the house and my Younger sister slept at her friends house.
see? I'm all alone.
Good thing, I have great cooking skills. I learned this back in high school.
I cooked a friend chicken, and also ordered Pizza (I'm afraid some of this guys are picky). Luckily, they were not picky eaters and loved the food that I prepared.
After eating I told everyone to head back to the backyard, and they obeyed. Except one, Rum offered to help me clean up.
I didn't know he's good at this. This guy is full of surprises.
"thank you Yan-yan" I'm getting used to teasing him now.
"Rum" he corrected.
"ok, yanyan" I teased for the second time.
he just ignored.
After cleaning up we then head back to finish our Task.
************************************************************************
It was around Three in the afternoon when My mother arrived. I never got a chance to introduce everyone earlier, since mom left early. She just met Rein.
"Hi mom, Welcome back. Did you have a good time?" I greeted my mother. I don't really have to greet my mother formally for she is a chill mother. She can get teenagers easily and can understand us. Even her social media accounts are more active than mine.
"hey, Denver. yes sweetie thank you for asking." My mother replied.
"mom, I want you to meet my classmates and friends" I told her. I then introduced Nick, Bob, Lei, Ricci and Joy to her as my groupmates that documents my life.
while on the other hand, I introduced Rum as my friend.
"mom, and this is Rum my Friend. he's not part of our group but he's here because we're partners in the classroom" I told my mom.
As soon as I said that my mother went: "oh, I see." and gave me a suspicious look. which means Friends huh? and cute guy over here. I told you my mom is so chill.
Everyone was about to leave when I introduced everyone. So I told her they are leaving.
Everything was Settled with our activity. I am not assigned to do anything, while they do the editing. (how nice).
Everyone already said their goodbyes and went inside Rum's mini Cooper. He had a promise to Drive everyone home, House-to-House.
Rum stayed on the front door and said his goodbye properly to me.
"Well, are you available tomorrow?" Rum said to me. I cant believe he is not over about Going out.
"are you literally asking me out now?" I tried to make a joke. No malice on that statement.
but I don't really have anything to do tomorrow since I'm not going to edit our group work. So I think it will be a good thing to go out.
"You're overthinking Denver, Mr. Delo Santos has a task for me to do. I'm just asking you to help me" Rum protested.
I'm now getting shy and embarrassed from what I said.
"and yes, I'm also asking you out. we had a stressful week, is it illegal to hang out? we're friends after all." Rum told me. I'm so glad Rum knows how to hang out. I don't really have friends who's boring.
"cool Rum, See you tomorrow then." I told him.
"Wait you forgot to give me your number Denver." he said. asking for my number.
"I thought you have it already?"
"that was Lei phone"
I gave him my number immediately. I don't how that happened but I just thought t would nice to have new person on your contact. Since there were only Mom, and my siblings on my phone. Also My ex-boyfriend, which I already deleted.
our talk was ruined when Nick honked the car. So I told Rum to keep going. It was rude if I close the door without the visitors leaving first so I waited him to get inside the car. He waved back at me first.
when the car went out of my sight, I immediately close the door, but I heard a coughing voice behind me.
When I looked back, it was my mom with her arms crossed together.
"Are you sure he was just your friend?" My mom told me. With her Suspecting look again.
"uhm- mom, were you standing there all the time?" I tried to ask.
"Not really, it was just enough to see my Eldest Son flirt" My mother smirked at me.
"Come on Mom, It wasn't flirting. it was 'saying goodbye' to him" I tried to defend myself. I understand my mom, she's sometimes do that to me. but I don't find her annoying not like Mr. Delo Santos.
"O.K." my mom said. "but be careful Rum, you don't want to happen what happened last year." My mom said to me. Referring to my Ex- Boyfriend .
I understand her. She was also heart broken to see me suffer.
"yes mom, you know I always tell you first over everything." I tried to reassure her. I gave her a hug.
our hug went for a while until my phone ringed.
"oh... they haven't left for five minutes and his missing you" my mom told me.
"Mom!" I protested. Answering the unknown number on the phone. which means Rum Ocampo since he's the one who I recently gave my number to.
Denver: Hey what's up? why did you call?
Rum: Don't forget to save my number! Bye!
**** Call Ended ****
And I saved his number. It was then followed by notifications from all my social media.
Facebook: Rum Verdell Ocampo sent you a friend request.
Messenger: you and Rum Verdell Ocampo can now chat with each other.
Messenger: Rum set the color to Green
Messenger: Rum set your nickname to Jel.
This guy is fast on social media. He even set the nickname for me.
Instagram: Verdell20 started following you.
Twitter: Verdell20 started following you.
I was overwhelmed by Rum's actions i almost forgot she was there. She made a coughing sound again.
"just dont forget to tell me" She reminded again.
After that I told her about what happened here earlier, and also that Rum wants me to come with him tomorrow. Which she approved instantly. My mother has trust in me.
Everything was settled. My mom is here, and my sister just arrived a while ago. My task was done.
I just cant wait to go out tommorow. I headed to my Room to prepare.
"Ok, tomorrow is showtime" I told myself.
