"So you like playing some toy guns?"

Dorry just nodded to Theo's question. She's busy with the toy gun and figuring how to use it with coolness.

"Then might as well take it." napalingon siya rito. "Hindi ko naman yan nagagamit. I'm busy playing basketball and this week, Kuya told me to join the basketball trial so I could be with the basketball team at Washington University."

Ilang minutong natahimik si Dorry bago umiling at ngumiti. "Salamat pero hindi na. My mom will surely be mad at me if she found out I'm playing toy guns."

"Oh. Ganun ba? Then why not just come over here at my house after class to play? You said you don't have friends anyway."

Sasagot sana si Dorry nang pumasok sa guess room -- kung nasaan sila ngayon -- ang Kuya ni Theo.

"Hey, lil bro-- oh, you bring a friend here."

"Hi, Kuya Jasper! What are you doing here? Where's ate Atheena? I want to see her!"

Nagpakarga ito sa kanyang kuya.

"Umuwi na sa Pilipinas ang ate Atheena mo kanina. But don't worry, she'll call us later because she's already miss you sooo much!"

Napahalakhak si Theo nang kurutin ng kuya ang kanyang ilong. "Okay. But I really want to see her right now because she's so pretty! And I like her, kuya. Bleh!"

Biglang nagpababa ito sa pagkakarga sa kanya at nagtago sa likuran ni Dorry na parang hahabulin sya ng kuya. Tinawan lang sya ni Jaspher at napabaling sa kanya na nakamasid lang sa kanila.

Yumuko si Jaspher para magpantay sila ni Dorry.

"So I guess you're Dorry. Ang bukang-bibig lagi sa akin nitong si Theo. Nice to meet you, lil one."

Dorry accepted his hand that offers her to a handshake. "Nice to meet you din po."

Jaspher chuckled. "Just call me Kuya JT na lang."

"But Kuya Taylor is also JT. James Taylor, right? And I'm too. Joseph Theodore." biglang sabat ni Theo.

Napailing-iling ang kuya. "Oo na, oo na." bumaling uli ito sa kanya. "Call me Kuya Jaspher na lang. Masyado kasing maarte itong kapatid ko."

"Sige po, kuya Jaspher."

Ngumiti ito at nagpaalam saglit na kukuha muna ng meryenda nila sa kusina kaya bumalik na naman uli si Dorry sa paglalaro ng baril-barilan habang si Theo naman ay panay scroll down sa Facebook para mag hanap at makipag friend request sa mga magagandang babaeng nakikita niya sa social media.

Hindi na nila namalayan na gabi na pala kaya aligagang umuwi na si Dorry at hindi na nakapagpaalam pa kay Theo dahil nasa cr ito at tumatae.

She will bid goodbye to Kuya Jaspher since Theo's busy inside the bathroom with his phone with him.

"WHAT DID I told you that your curfew is on five pm?!" her mother rolled her hair with so much frustration. "My god, Dorry! Hindi ka na nagtanda! Saan ka ba nanggaling, ha?!"

Taas-nuong sinalubong ni Dorry ang kanyang ina at sumagot. "I was at my friend's house, mom. I was just playing with Theo--"

Hindi na nya natapos ang sinasabi nang maramdaman niyang dumapo sa pisngi niya ang palad ng kanyang ina. Napapikit na lang siya dahil sa sakit ng naramdaman niya sa pagkakasampal nito.

"So you're playing with a boy? When I told you to go hang out with your girl friends but you always refuse and now I just found out that you were playing with a boy."
