On a mission to tidy up her room instead of studying for their upcoming exams, Adelaide found a flattened piece of paper tucked between the pages of her old journal. It turned out to be a letter addressed to a boy named Paul.
Nang mabasa niya ang la...
ang yabang mo nung nakaraan nung tinanong ko kung sino magiging overall champion this year tapos sabi mo uuwing luhaan school ko???
tignan natin. i get to watch you play and lose 😏 tignan natin kung marunong ka maglaro
you’re funny. of course, i know how to play.
pero hindi mo naman alam mukha at jersey number ko. mahilo ka na lang kahahanap.
isn’t mariano your surname? hahanapin ko lang sino ang mariano doon.
wait
is mariano your surname? o napulot mo lang kung saan? you never really told me your name. paul lang ang alam ko.
tignan mo hindi ko alam mukha mo, hindi ko rin alam pangalan mo. yup, hindi talaga kita makikita.
i’ll tell you my name only if you tell yours, too. hindi ko rin naman alam pangalan mo, even before.
lai lang ang nasa display name mo. i’ll ask your schoolmates if they know anyone named lai and i’ll probably get, like, 10 people or nothing.
deal!
mga kaibigan ko lang tumatawag sa akin ng lai. no one at school knows a Lai.
anyway, go, tell me your name and i’ll follow.
it’s paul sebastian mariano.
shaun adelaide fajardo.
oh, that’s where the lai came from. i see. galing ng parents mo magbigay ng pangalan. ang ganda ang ganda.

anyway !!!! busy ka rin naman siguro the whole stay niyo rito for the game and practice kaya hindi lang din kita makikita. except during the game of course.
may gagawin na ba agad kayo bukas sa opening? like practice gano’n maliban sa preparation for parade around town center.
i asked a teammate and they said we’re free pretty much the whole morning until after lunch kasi yun nga sa parade.
ah okay. edi game ka pa rin doon sa samgyup na usapan natin noong nakaraan? kasi, ako oo.
wait, talaga? oo naman.
