She looks like as if she a prisoner with a chain ball on her feet. Step-drag-step. Thats her pattern. I am the one whose feeling the discomfort thats why i offer her my back. Again. And ahe didnt refuse it this time.
As we approach her village i feel some dampness on my shoulder. Seriously? But shes so beautiful. I thought if youre pretty . Youre suppose to be pretty. She looks pretty and ugly at the same time. Ugh
I wake her up cause u dont know which way is her house.
"Hey. Chesa wake up."i tap her cheeks a little. She just groan and hug my neck. "Are you trying to kill me?"
"Ay. Sorry. San na ba tayo?"she said rubbing her eyes off. "Malapit na pala tayo sige iliko mo don s next next block."
"Two blocks away from here then turn left?"she just nod and put her head back on my neck.
I wanna put her down because her breathing is annoyingly puffs my neck. And it gives me shivers down my spine. But when i look at her ankle my conscience tells me not to b mean.
When im about to take my turn, i notice that she become uneasy and sweating. "Whats wrong?"
"Ahm dito mo nalang ako ibaba. Ok naman na ako. Chaka malapit na yung amin."
"Ah ok." I put her down and give her her bike. I was about to leave when she shout on top of her lungs.
"Ribbon. Simula ngayon friends na tayo huh. Ibig sabihin boyfriend na kita."she said giggling.
"In your dreams Chesca. In your dreams." I wave her goodbye and off-to-go.

Its been months since we bump into each other. And i can say that,there is no such thing as dull moments. Its like a routine.
Were always together. Sometimes her talkative friend maricar tag along to. I dont miss cali. Im actually loving this country.
She also told me about this new boy named juan. But i have this feeling that his name is john. She said that he annoys her big time. Saying that shes ugly.
Shes fond of giving names to others. Yeah mean. I know. But theres this time when i ask her if she can stop it cause its bad. Her eyes got misty "ano bang masama don? Di naman nila ako kinig diba? Ayaw mo ba akong sumaya? Yun na nga lang nagpapasaya sakin kukunin mo pa?"and she started crying.
"So how was school?"i ask while walking her home.
"Ok naman. Ganon parin ang boring. Yun at yum tinuturo nila walang iba. E ikaw balita ko ang dami daw may crush sayo don. Wag kang makikipag friend sa iba ha. Ako lang dapat girlfriend mo."she suddenly stop walking thats why i bump into her.
"Hey why did you stop?"i look at the direction of her burning stare. There i saw a bunch a kids maybe our age. Wait. Is that jaypee?
