"Dre, sa tingin niyo sinong unang ma fa-fall dyan sa dalawa?" tanong ni Stell habang nakatingin kay Justin at Ken.

"Ako tingin ko si Ken." Pablo answered.

"Ako tingin ko si Jah." Josh said.

Stell gave them a silly look. "Ano, bet?" he asked them.

But Josh raised both his hands, "Ayoko! Bakit natin pagpupustahan yang mga yan?!"

"Baliw! Katuwaan lang, no money involved," he insisted.

Pablo looked at Stell, "Ano iniisip mo?"

"Simple lang, kung sino talo, bubunutan ng 3 pieces na buhok sa kili-kili," sagot naman niya.

"Eh ikaw, sino sa tingin mo unang mafa-fall?" tanong sa kanya ni Josh.

Stell laughed, "Wala. Eh parehong pilosopo yang dalawang yan eh, kailan ba nag-usap ng matino yan? Wala, ang ending nyan hindi yan mag-aaminan. Naglalaro yan ng tagu-taguan ng feelings eh," he replied.

They were all outside; kakatapos lang nila ng rehearsal at nasa open area sila. Ken and Justin were sitting on a road verge; habang nags-skate board naman ang tatlo.

Nakatingala silang dalawa habang nakatingin sa mga bituin.

"Jah, susungkitin ko lahat ng bituin para sa'yo," said Ken.

Justin grinned. "Mukha mo, kulangot mo nga di mo masungkit tapos tatargetin mo pa yang mga stars, eh ang taas-taas nyan," he answered.

Agad naman hinawakan ni Ken ang ilong niya, "Di nga? Meron nga?" tanong nito.

"Wala, joke lang," natatawang sabi ni Justin. "Pero ang ganda talaga ng langit ngayon Ken, 'no?" tanong niya.

"Oo nga, ang ganda ng langit, sige na akyat ka na Jah, hinihintay ka na ni San Pedro," he replied.

"Ah, talaga ba Ken? Baka ma-miss mo 'ko." tukso niya.

He pouted, "'di 'no, sino ba nagsabi sayong aakyat ka mag-isa syempre sasamahan kita." Sagot naman niya.

Napatingin siya dito, "Talaga?" he asked.

"Oo, kasi baka hindi ka paakyatin dun pag ikaw lang, kailangan may kasama kang angel," sagot naman niya.

Justin rolled his eyes and said, "Wowie ikaw pa talaga yung anghel ha."

They both fell silent when a couple clinging to each other passed by them.

"Jah, ikaw, pag nagkaron ka ba ng partner, gusto mo din ba ganun ka-clingy?" tanong sa kanya ni Ken.

He smirked, "Bakit, clingy ka ba?"

"Bakit tinatanong mo, gusto mo ba ako?" he asked back.

Justin shook his head and said, "Wala ka talaga, Ken. Alam mo, you should learn to read between the lines.".

"Nasan?" said Tanong Nito.

He turned to face him and asked, "Ang alin?"

"Yung lines. Para mabasa ko kung ano yung in between them," he grinned.
