Cruel Summer

4th Cruel Summer

This is great, I haven't heard from Stephen, it's been two days already, I have tried all kinds of bait that I posted on my story, yet again, and now I have given up on the 2nd day, I won't be posting anything on my story for a while.

I opened Facebook then searched Therese.

Ikaw na lang guguluhin ko ngayon.

Me -
"Hey bitch."
"I have kwento."

Therese -
"Ano nanaman yang kwento mo."
"Ikwento mo na dalian mo."

Me -
"So diba, naalala mo si Yuri?"
"Yung nakachat ko sa dating app?"

Therese -
"Yeah the one that you have been stalking."
"Nakuha mo na ba yung name niya?"

Me -
"Yep nakuha ko na, IG  and FB."
"And his name is Stephen Manuel."

Therese -
"Nice naman nakuha mo na yung pinapangarap mo."
"Oh ano naman ang nangyayari ngayon?"
"Iniwan ka na ba?"

Me -
"Eto naman , iniwan agad?"
"Kakasimula palang iiwanan na."
"Nasa getting to know each other stage kami."

Therese -
"Oh bakit mo na kwento si kuyang Stephen na hindi ka pinapansin sa dating app?"

I told Therese the long story of how I got him to message me the first time, and how he is ignoring me for 2 days in a row now, then I sent screenshots of our conversation, his photos, all of my intel on him, even in these past two days, I've been searching his exes, it's like his exes doesn't even exist, I don't believe my theory that maybe he hasn't been in a relationship.

I mean look, he's handsome, he's intelligent, he's athletic, all of the girls in his school would be drooling over him, including me, but I'll be a different girl that he usually sees, that is why I need to scout his exes and see what kind of girl he fancies, then I'll act very different from them.

I looked at phone then saw that he sent a DM on IG, well, that's the first, why is it that every time I give up, he gives attention in the most unexpected time.

Stephen -
Sent a photo
"Look, we did a photoshoot in La Union."

Me -
"Hindi mo ako maloloko."
"Na stalk na kita."

And that's when I knew, I fucked up...

Stephen -
"Hahahahaha ikaw ah."
"Malapit na yung sabado, that means malapit na yung shoot namin."

Me -
"Excited din ako for you."
"I can't wait to see how the photos will turn out."

Stephen -
"Don't worry, I'm excited as well."
"Pero alam mo, may problema lang kami."
"Paano kung umulan?"
"Tapos naka beach outfit pa ako HAHAHAHA."
"Natatawa ako sa mangyayari haha."

Me -
"Beach day gone wrong ahahahahah."
"Last time, may debut shoot kami."
"Tapos umulan."
"Ginamit namin yung ulan as props HHAHAHAH."
"Natuwa naman yung debutante sa outcome ng mga photos."
"Iba sa concept niya, pero it came out better than expected."

And of course, that was a lie, hindi naman ako nakakalabas, and mostly yung mga photoshoots na ginagawa ko ay for my friends, and I don't have a job as photographer, sadyang hobby lang siya.

Stephen -
"Kapag talaga unexpected yung shoots, maganda talaga yung mga kinalalabasan."
"Hindi ko nga lang din maexplain kung bakit, but it works."

Me -
"Sometimes the unexpected are the beautiful things."
"By the way, binura ko na pala yung dating app ko."
"I will have to come clean though."
"It was actually a research project."
"Then I was a respondent."
