Umaga na at hindi pa rin ako makatulog.

I am still thinking of what happened last night.

"Are you Sol Leon?"

Tinignan ako nito na walang emosyon.

"Sol... Leon?" He asked me back.

Mabilis ang pagtibok ng puso ko dahil sa pagkahingal at sa kaba.

I really wish I found you this time.

"Sol Leon. Is that your name?" Tanong ko na puno ng pag-asa.

My heart is still beating fast hoping for a satisying answer from him.

Ikaw na nga ba iyan?

He looked like he's hesitating to answer my question kung kaya't pati ako ay naguluhan.

What is this expression?

He looked at the traffic light as it turned red.

Inilahad nito ang palad sa ere nang maramdamang umaambon.

He was right. Umulan nga.

The man faced me for a second and answered,

"I'm not." He said and ran away to cross the street.

I sighed remembering the scenario that has happened between us.

I was so sure na it's the pull tab I gave him. Nakaattach pa rin yun sa slider!

What I don't understand is why did he deny that to me?

Was I wrong?

I reached for my phone at the bed side table to check the time.

It's 4 am. Damn.

What did you do to me, boy-singkit?

This isn't the first time I suspected someone as Sol but this time, it was the note that convinced me more.

I should've just asked for his name. I quite did a pitiful move back then.

Umiling ako at pinilit ang sarili na hawiin siya sa aking isip. I closed my eyes and just decided to sleep.

Buti nalang sabado.

"Sora, sige na naman oh! Crush mo naman yung si Cid eh!" Pamimilit ni Liz sa kabilang linya.

Sinabi ko last time na sasama ako, yes. Pero nag-iba ang ihip ng hangin at ayoko na pala.

Naglalakad ako ngayon galing sa isang convenience store matapos bumili ng canned coke. Bawal ako sa cold drinks since I have to take care of my throat para sa upcoming play pero wala naman ako sa school so I shrugged the thought of it being forbidden for me. Besides, minsan lang naman 'to. 

"Maria Fe, wala nga ako sa mood. Eh ano ngayon kung crush ko yun? Edi hindi ko nalang siya crush para di niyo na ako gambalahin!"

Narinig ko ang pagsinghap nito nang tinawag ko siyang 'Maria Fe'. She hates to be called that. Maria Feliz Toscano, which is her full name.

I giggled at the thought of annoyance in her face.

"Oh stop with the Maria Fe thingy, Sora Odette!" Pambalik nito sakin.

Too bad for her, but I don't hate my full name. Insert the evil laugh.

"Ah talaga, Maricar?" Tawag ko sa kaniya gamit sa pangalan ng ina at sinipsip ang juice na hawak sa kabilang kamay.
