"Why, are you not our friend?"

"Bakit, hindi ka ba namin kaibigan?", Mervin said. I was touched. He really treats me as a friend, not only a classmate.

The story started like this.

Another guy classmate, Kent, pulled my ponied hair when he was at my back. I knew it was him. Since Mervin was beside him, I accused Mervs for that. He said defensively,"hey it was not me!".

"hmmm... Then it must be Kent! you are the only two people at my back. Who else could pull it? The ghost?", I replied.

"None of us did that to you!", Kent lied.
"Yeah. None", confused as Mervin said.

Mervin really didn't see that moment when Kent pulled my hair. He was looking at his phone.

Then I said,"Of course you will defend each other because you're both FRIENDS!"

"WHY, ARE YOU NOT OUR FRIEND?" Mervin said finally.

I was stoned and speechless. I never thought that they will include me in their group of friends. I was so low, but flattered that somehow they care for me because I am their friend.

Did you get my point?

If not, never mind. I just appreciate that little thing.

Thank you!
