This is the real definition of peace. Being surrounded by thousands of books, sounds of turning pages and the smell of fresh brewed cup of coffee.

"Anne Frank, the diary of a young girl." I extended my hand so I could reach but I couldn't. It was like 1 ruler away from my fingertips. Even if I rucked, I couldn't reach it. It was placed too high for a short girl like me.

Just as then, someone got it. I didn't turn around 'cause I met the only guy who can control his dream. Even if I don't turn around, I'll bet it was Titus.

I waited for him to hand me the book but he didn't. "I reached for it, so I must have it." It left me with no words to tell!

I felt his steps gone far. "Psychotic bitch!" I murmured, annoyed.

Pati ba naman pagbabasa sa panaginip ko mambu-b'wesit ka?!

Titus Solis
What?

Ace
Ako 'yung nakakuha nung libro, eh! Pati ba naman sa library hindi mo ako lulubayan?

Babasahin ko sana kasi mahal 'yon sa NBS! Epal ka!

Titus Solis
Ano bang libro?

Ace
'Yung kinuha mo nga! 'Yung Anne Frank, diary of a young girl.

Titus Solis
Anong kinuha ko?

Ace
Maang-maangan ka pa ngayon?

Titus Solis
I was reviewing for our monthly examination, that I haven't had the chance to get my sleep. I haven't been in the library to stole you the book you wanted to read, as what you're are accusing me right now. What the hell are you talking about?

Ace
Hindi ka pa natutulog simula kagabi?

Titus Solis
Precisely. I was up since last night. Buhay mag-aabogado.

Ace
So, sino 'yon?
