"Congrats satin, Jho!akalain mo yun?nakagraduate tayo!..so what's your plan?" Stacey asked while wearing a big smile.

"You?what's your plan?" Jho asked back.

"Eto naman sya nga ung tinatanong tas biglang ibabalik hays!" Stacey said with annoying tone.

"HAHAHA sorry naman🙄, so me?i think i'm gonna persue the law,you know that's my dream before."

"Yess!I'm always here for you,my Attorney!" she said and hug me tightly.

After a minute of silence...

"Uhm, Jho i have something to tell you.."

"What was that?and you're nervous?" I asked confused.

"Do you remember when I said I'd always be there?"she asked while wearing the bracelet on me.

"What's this for?" i asked her but she didn't answer.

"Hey,Jho akin na gamutin na natin yang sugat mo,hays.don't cry na kasi.... ang panget mo umiyak oh" lindtsey teased and i smiled at her.

"Yan ganda mo kaya kapag ngumingiti ka,smile ka na palagi ha?" i nooded.

"O-ouch"

"S-sorry diko sinasadya😅ikaw kasi kulit mo eh!"

"Si kuya Kiro kasi eh!kinuha laruan ko,tapos sabi nya habulin ko sya."

"Hinabol mo nga naman?"

"Yess hehe."

"Talaga yan si kuya hilig kang asarin HAHAHA tingnan mo tuloy nangyari sayo."

"Oh ayan ok na pwede ka na ulit madapa,tss." i pouted and she smiled and sat beside me.

"Lindtsey,always here. Stacey andito habang buhay.okay."

I felt her beside hugging me.We stayed in that position for a while.

"When we were out on the playground playing pretend."

"Jho, habulin mo'ko dali!"

"Teka lang!ang bilis mo kaya tumakbo ays!"

"Ang bagal mo!HAHAHA oh dahan dahan lang baka madapa ka pa tss." she said while i corner her.

"Yabang mo ah, ano sige takbo HAHAHA" i pressured her. we're like playing patintero. "You seems like panicking,huh."

I immidiately pulled her hands and hug her para hindi na sya makawala pa.

"Didn't know it back then."

"Huh?" i asked her. confusing.

"And I don't wanna ruin what we have
Love is so unpredictable.

… But it's the risk that I'm taking, hoping, praying
You'd fall in love with your best friend" i said on my mind.

"Now I realize you were the only one. Jho, I like you.
It's never too late to show it. right?"

"S-stacey" i was so nervous 'cause all this time she like me? and I stopped her from putting the bracelet on me.

"Grow old together,
Have feelings we had before
Back when we were so innocent."
