Happy New Year, Madam! 😁
Everleigh
Happy New Year, Dokie!
Or should I say, Javelin? 😛
Finley James
Call me however you want.
You're the boss here. 😉
Everleigh
Charotero. 😂
Everleigh is typing...
My God, I still can't believe you're Javelin.
My mysterious online friend! After so many years, nalaman ko rin kung sino ka talaga.
Finley James
Sorry it took me some time to tell you about it. Late ko na rin kasing nalaman na ikaw pala si HappilyEverAfter.
Everleigh
That was so long ago, wasn't it?
Second year high school ako noong nauso sa school namin ang pakikipag-chat sa random online strangers. 😂
Finley James
Haha, yep. Ako naman, fourth year na.
If you think about it, what we're doing was a huge no-no. Imagine us kids talking to strangers on the internet...
Everleigh
So nagsisisi ka na nakausap mo ako dati, hmm?
Finley James
That's not what I'm saying! 😂
Finley James is typing...
If only you knew... I spent months trying to find out your real identity.
Everleigh
Well, you've found out now.
Si Kenz lang pala ang magiging susi sa katotohanan. 😆
Finley James
Yeah. Kenzie is the key. 😅
Buti na lang, nag-throwback kami ng mga kalokohan namin dati, including those chats with online strangers. Somehow, the conversation led to you.
Everleigh
Hindi na ako nagtaka. Knowing Kenz and her habit of telling you every single detail about me, siguradong pati alias ko sa online chatrooms, babanggitin niya sa'yo. 🙄
Finley James
Well, that's McKenzie Javier Chua for you. 😂
Finley James is typing...
Sana naman, naniniwala ka na ngayon na dati pa akong interesado sa'yo.
Everleigh
Correction: you were interested in HappilyEverAfter, a silly sophomore.
That's not me anymore, Fin.
Finley James
I know. You've grown up. We both did.
But I still see HappilyEverAfter in you.
Finley James is typing...
You probably don't remember this anymore, but I used to hate Math. It was you who finally made me appreciate it, Leigh. All those pep talks of how Math is a wonderful subject... Your enthusiasm in everything was contagious. It still is, actually. 😁
Everleigh
Sus. I should've realized earlier na ikaw pala si Javelin. Ganyang-ganyan ang ka-chat ko dati! Matamis ang dila. 😝
Finley James
Haha! And I should've realized earlier that you're my mysterious online crush, with that same unapologetic attitude.
Finley James is typing...
So, is this some sort of Part Two for our high school selves? Here we are, talking online again.
Everleigh
Ikaw ang bahala. Sa totoo lang, wala namang pinagbago ang sitwasyon natin ngayon.
I still enjoy talking to you, Fin.
Just like I did, fifteen years ago.
Finley James
Same here. It's nice to have finally met you, HappilyEverAfter. 😁
Everleigh
Nice to meet you too, Javelin. 😊
