Pursuing from the Shore (Sun Rays #2)

Chapter 7

Entry: Redler's Archive

When you write and let people read it, you're basically handing them pieces of yourself. I think I like that. Being known, but not directly and not loudly. But just enough.

Anyway, if I were to rate that ice cream mochi from the siren-eyed guy, purely for documentation purposes, it's a solid 10 out of 10.

Could've been an 11 if binigyan niya pa ako ng isa.

Kidding. Obviously.

And this is probably the last time I'll write about him. I just hope these pages don't run out, because at this rate, it's becoming less of an archive and more of a pattern.

Not my fault, by the way.

Blame the siren-eyed guy.

Chapter 7

My eyes are intently focused on my phone screen, my right thumb was slowly scrolling through it. At dahil sa nakikita ko pa lang sa phone ko, hindi na ako madalawan ng antok kahit late na ng gabi.

dlv___vlb waved! to I.

dlv___vlb waved! to II.

dlv___vlb waved! to III.

And so on.

Umabot 'yon hanggang sa XI, which means number 11. Ibig sabihin ay nandoon na siya agad sa part na 'yon? Ang bilis niya naman yata?

Hindi rin naman ako tanga para hindi ma-realize na siya nga 'to. That 'dlv' simply is the acronym of his full name. Davin was not playing around when he told me earlier that he is currently reading my novel. At ito nga 'yon.

Wala pang isang oras ang lumipas, naka-receive naman ako ng message sa Twitter from no other than Davin!

Automatic na nalukot ang noo ko. Dahil sa nabasa kong 'to, mas lalong hini ako magrereply sa kanya.

And I just remembered, we have a quiz tomorrow in the first period, so I need to start reviewing if I don't want to fail. Hayaan ko muna 'yang Davin na 'yan, mukhang nag-e-enjoy naman siyang magbasa.

I studied for almost an hour before forcing myself to sleep. And thr next morning came, bumungad ang message ni Edorina sa phone screen ko nang magising ako. She said she's not going to attend school today so I dialed her number again.

"Edo, what's wrong? Bakit hindi ka na naman papasok?" medyo malamya kong tanong dahil kagigising ko lang.

"Sorry na, baby ko," bungad niya, nagpapa-cute. "Mom didn't allow me to attend school today. Uhm, kasi... alam mo na, she's currently handling a very heavy case so it would be very dangerous for me to go outside. I'm sorry, okay?"
