"You think I can really do it?"
I smiled at her.
"I'm with you Irene, you sing very well. I enjoy playing guitar, let's be partners. Sayang yung points, kapag sumali ka malalamangan mo na si Paxton"
Right, I was really willing to help her become the valedictorian back then. Sa three months na pagsasama namin she became my best friend.
"How did I forget about you Irene? We were so happy back then, you made me happy in just a short period of time"
"We did it Czari! We won the competition!"
"I knew we will make it, ang galing mo kayang kumanta"
"Thank you for helping me, I feel so relieved now because of you"
"You were too pressured back then, you don't want to disappoint your parents. And until now you're still like that"
"I baked you cookies Irene, here taste it"
"You're trying new things out again Czari? Why didn't you invite me? I wanted to learn how to cook and bake"
"You hate eating bread and pastries kaya"
"As long as it's you who make, I will surely have a taste of it"
"So I am an exception?"
"You are!"
"Kaya pala alam mo, you already knew my hobbies. Why did you not told me about it? "
"I hate my score right now Czari, it's making my head ache"
"Shh, you did well kaya. It's a surprise quiz, don't be hard on yourself. Relax lang Irene"
"But Paxton got a perfect score"
"It's because he cheated, he's opening the module. I saw him and already reported it to Sir Manalo"
"R-Really?"
"Yes, you got the highest score Irene. Congratulations"
"Hanggang ngayon competitive ka pa rin, you really wanted to excel always"
"I do so well in almost everything because of you Czari, I think you have a magic in you. Are you my fairy?"
"You think I am a fairy?"
"Yes, ever since you came I have been feeling happy and at ease"
"Me too Irene"
"Let's be friends for life please, I want you to stay with me until the end"
"Very end, I promise!"
"I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise. But I am back again Irene and will make sure not to do my mistake again"
Isinarado ko ang photo book at sumandal sa headboard ng kama ko.
"Hay, all this time kasama na pala kita"
---------------------------------
It has been a week, medyo nakakahalata na siguro si Irene. Lagi kasi akong umiiwas kapag magkasama kami.
I know mahirap siyang iwasan kasi most of the time naman magkasama talaga kami. But I always find my ways.
Kapag nasa office diretso trabaho ako agad. Wala akong pinapalampas na oras.
