Archie's POV
She kissed me. But what does it mean? Does she like me, pity? Fuck, I don't know what to think. Sometimes it feels like she does, but sometimes she doesn't. That's why i'm going insane.

3rd person's POV
Archie paces back & forth in his room. As he holds his phone. [Hi. I miss you —], he types. "Noo, that's corny," he erases. [Hi, Roxy. How are you?"] erases again. "Fuck ano ba pwede kong sabihin sabihin."

Z enters his room. "Kuya?" "Yeah, Z. What's up?" "What's up with you? Parang kang 'di mapakali 'dyan," "It's nothing," "Really?" Z seems suspicious because it's the second time she's seen her brother like this. "It's a girl, noh?" "No —" "Yeah, right," "Who's this girl? I better like her." Napalunok si Archie knowing Z and Roxy? "Since when do you care, about the girls i'm dating?" "See! It's a girl. Well, whoever she is — seems like she's stressing you out. That's not a good sign kuya," "Z, matulog ka na nga lang," "Okay? Rude much?" Z closes the door..

Meanwhile ..
Roxy packing her live selling orders, as she looks over and over on her phone. "Huy!" tapon ng damit ng ate niya kay Roxy. At nagulat ito. "Aray!" "Kanina mo pa tinitignan 'yang cellphone mo, may inaantay na text?" sabi ng ate niya. "Luh, wala ate!" "Wala, wala .. para ka ng tanga diyan, kaka-lingon sa cp mo — si Tim ba?" "Huh, hindi Ate. Tingin mo kakausapin ko pa 'yon Te?"
"Hoy, sinasabi ko sayo Roxanne, pag ikaw nanaman 'dyan nag-jowa. Tapos ma-broken broken ka ulit," "Single naman ako, tapos ako niloko .. I deserve real happiness," pilosopong sagot ni Roxy. "Ayan, ayan .. bakit may umaakyat ng ligaw? Baka si Archie Aguerro 'yan". Biglang nag iba mukha ni Roxy. "Anong mukha 'yan?" "Hala, Te. Ang malisyosa mo," "Naku, layuan mo 'yon. Addict 'yon diba?" "Hindi naman na," "Ay wow. Alam ah," hila ng buhok ng ate niya. "Mag-ingat ka 'don, mukhang matinik sa babae," "Bat' ako mag ingat te, wala lang 'yon si Archie." sabi ni Roxy. Sabay lunok.

Roxy's POV:
Walang follow-up text? Mag you kaya ako sa mga nangyari kanina. [Thank You pala, for today Archie. Good—] [Phone rings, Archie's calling ]

"Roxy," "Archie," they say at the same time. "Why aren't you replying my text messages?" sabi ni Archie ng pa-inis. "Huh? Nabasa ko lang, eh pang tulog naman 'yung text mo," Archie speechless. "Luh." sabi ni Archie habang nag-ooverthink. "Sleep well, sabi mo diba." Napakamot si Archie. Oh siya, 'yun lang ba? Tulog na ako ha, thanks for today pala," "Roxy wait!" "Oh?" "Uh — I missed you," Archie says. Roxy didn't know what to answer. "You there?" "Uh, oo kaso mahina signal eh, ano ulit sinabi mo?" she lied. "Wala .. tulog ka na," "Geh, geh," "Huh?" "Sige, kako! Sleep ka narin," "Hindi pa ako inaantok eh," "Ano gagawin ko?" "Talk to me, "Luh, ano ako nanay mo, bedtime story? Corny mo beh," "Beh na tawagan natin?" "Tangek, expression kasi," "Babe o baby nalang," sabi ni Archie smirking. "Ewan ko sayo! Sinisira mo nanaman gabi ko,"
