trenton:

Hey, are you awake?

Are you at school by now?

eustace:

She's in the school clinic.

Stop bothering her and let her rest, she pulled out an all-nighter just because of your selfish moves.

We already talked about this, Trenton. Bakit ba lahat ng malapit sa 'kin, inaagaw mo?

trenton:

Right

Augustus

She's never yours to begin with. And don't sneak her phone like that, don't you have manners? Give her the personal space she wants. I can't believe you're getting in the way this time around, and again.

And our personal issues is just between the two of us, 'wag mong idamay ang ibang tao. Ikaw 'tong dinadamay si Eustace, what did she do in the first place?

Is that because she only see you as a friend? Are you still bitter about it?

In the first place, wala akong inaagaw sa 'yo. I never stole something from you. Stop pretending that you're the good samaritan here, we both know that we're both toxic.

eustace:

I'm deleting this. Let her take a rest.

And you're the one who's getting in my way. I'm waiting for her, Trenton. You know that, I've been telling the things about her for almost years now. She has strict parents, in all those years, I went by her side to guide her and build her the confidence she have now.

Just please, just this one.

Give Eustace to me.

I cannot afford to loose her. I just can't.

trenton:

Maybe in the first place, you shouldn't have told me things about her.

Because I didn't assure you that I'm not going to fall for her after knowing things even from a distance.

And stop, taking all the credits.

She's confident on her own way, not just because of you. But because she works hard for it. Eustace still gets insecure about things, but this time it is not your job to wipe all those insecurities.

Stop thinking that she'll forever rely on someone like you, she's independent. And I know she can do things, all by herself.

I'm out, Augustus.

Man up.
