" That Ava talaga 'no? Hanggang college dinadala niya yung pagiging competitive niya. Same with her friends, masyado silang annoying. " nakakaasar na tono ng boses ni George.
" Sis, you know their attitudes naman since Senior High diba? And it all started simula nung ligawan ni Kobe si Celeste. " sagot ni Lexie.
" Haaaays, hindi ko naman siya inentertain ever 'no. I don't even like him as a friend. Kaya nga hindi ko alam kay Ava kung bakit siya nagka-ganyan. "
pagdugtong na sagot ni Celeste sa mga kaibigan." Correct! You're right. Namuo na yung insecurities nung babaeng yun. " sagot ni George.
" I guess na-miss mo lang yung ka-malditahan ni Ava sa grupo natin that's why you're very annoyed sakanya. What do you think, Cel? " pang-aasar ni Lexie kay George.
" Oh, no no miss Lexie Chiu. Never again. " nakakainis na pag sagot ni George.
" That's enooougggghhh. Umuwi na kaya kayo 'no? " pag-awat ni Celeste
" Okay fine. How about you, Cel? " pagtatanong ni George
" Maybe I'll stay sa nearest Cafe here. Nag papahintay kasi si Kuya Hanz may short meeting pa daw sila ng team niya. " sagot ni Celeste.
" The most handsome group I've eveeeeer seen! Omg! Sis, can you tell your Kuya Hanz that I like his team mate. Grabe, Lex! Sumama ka na kasi sa game nila this year. " sagot ni George habang kilig na kilig.
" I don't have time for that, sis. You know me naman diba? " mahinhin na sagot ni Lexie
" Look at your friend, grabeee! Iba talaga ang tama ng first love. " pang-aasar ni George.
" Guys, guys, alam niyo? Tama na. Ikaw naman George.. hayaan mo si lex. She will find her man soon. Kaya umuwi na muna kayo at ang init na oh, I need some latte for now. " sagot ni Celeste
" Hala naman si sis, okay fine. Take care ha! Seeyou tomorrow. " pag pa-paalam ni Lexie.

* Message Conversation *
" Celeste, where are you? Text me your location. " - Kuya Hanz
" I'm in Cafe 00 right now. "
- Celeste" Ok. I'll be there for a while. Text me if dumating na diyan si Flynn. "
- Kuya Hanz" What?! I don't even know him. "
- Celeste" He knows you. Just wait for him. "
- Kuya Hanz" My gosh! Ano ba tong si Kuya. " sabi ni Celeste na pabulong.
" Ah, excuse me? You are Hanz's little sister right? I'm Flynn. " biglang pagbati ni Flynn.
" Ah, uhm.. yes. " sabi ni Celeste habang nakatingin kay Flynn.
" Oh, okay. It's nice to see you. Medyo na-confuse ako sabi kasi ng Kuya mo hawig daw kayo but I guess hindi naman. " natatawang pag banggit ni Flynn
" Maybe he's just joking, because we're not look a like or whatever. " seryosong sagot ni Celeste.
" Ah yes, you're right. " mahinhin na sagot ni Flynn.
" Bro, you're here. Buti naman nagkita na tayo ulit. " pag bati ni Hanz kay Flynn
" Yes, bro! Buti nalang talaga. Long time no see. It's been... " sabi ni Flynn
" 10 years bro, 10 years. Oh, by the way, Celeste ito si Kuya Flynn mo yung sinasabi kong best friend ko since we're young. Sila yung katapat nating bahay noon sa province. Kaya sabi ko sayo kilala ka niya dahil ikaw yung maasim na pawising bata before. Hahaha! " pang-aasar ni Hanz.
" What the?! Kuya naman?! " naiiritang pag sagot ni Celeste.
" Uy, ano ka ba Hanz. Hahahaha. Well, kami kasi ng Kuya mo laging mag kalaro nung elementary pa kami. Then I can still remember that you're so jolly that time. Hindi na nga kita nakilala ngayon. " sagot ni Flynn .
" Malaki na talaga pinag bago niyan, sumobra na yung asim. Hahaha! Halika na nga. Celeste, ihahatid ka muna namin sa bahay then wait for them to come home dahil aalis pa kami ni Flynn. " sagot ni Hanz.
" Really Kuya? Pinag hintay mo ako dito just for non sense? Sinabi ni Mom na wag mo akong iwan mag-isa diba?! Edi sana kung alam ko lang umuwi nako agad kanina. I'm so tired of your shits. "
sagot ni Celeste na sobrang naiinis." Celeste! Be careful to your words. That's so disrespectful. " gulat na reaksyon ni Hanz.
" No, it's not my fault. I will go home. Sasabihin ko'to kay mom. " sabi ni Celeste at biglang lumabas ng Café.
" Let her, bro. Mukhang ganyan talaga ang mga babae nowadays. " sabi ni Flynn.
" Nagulat lang ako sakanya. She's not like that. Mukhang tama ka, tsaka maybe she's too stressed and pressured these days. " pag aalala ni Hanz.
" Pressured? Why?" pagtatanong ni Flynn
" Hindi niya kasi gusto yung course niya. Pangarap niya kasi maging isang sikat na writer or author something like that pero sinabi ni Mom sakanya na it's not connected to our business. " sabi ni Hanz
" And??.."
" And it will not help her. I mean, our family. " sagot ni Hanz
" Well, that's so harsh to hear. She's so jolly before and I was surprised seeing her like this today. " pagtataka ni Flynn
" She's really jolly, Flynn. I don't know what happened to her. Ang naalala ko lang nung nag Highschool siya she met so many friends and day by day parang naba-bother siya about my parent's issues in our business. Parang, she's avoiding herself to speak what she feels inside. " sabi ni Hanz.
" I guess that's the reason why she really love writing. Pero siguro nung hindi niya nakuha yung course na gusto niya, she felt invalidated again? " pag dugtong ni Flynn.
" Maybe, I guess you're right. " sagot ni Hanz
