After that day, Anda doesn't have any idea on how will she contact Matteah for their project. She forgot to ask the where is her address and even her contact number.
She tries to chat Cali and ask for Matteah's number.

Cali, ask ko lang if you have Matteah's phone number?
Cali: Bakit? Type mo siguro pinsan ko hano?
Hoy hindi noh! I need to contact her para sa project naming dalawa.

End of the conversation—
I am thinking of what should I wear later, I don't know what's got into me why would I bother to dress up for her. Huh? For her? No I'm not doing this because of her noh! I simply want to look presentable that's all, nothing more, nothing less.
I grabbed my skyblue stripe blouse top and paired it with white baggy pants. And wear my black chunky doctor martins shoes. The outfit is casual but not too simple. It's exactly what I pictured in my mind before wearing it all together.
I was about to go out, so I started to look for my mother and bid a goodbye. "Ma, I'll go out po today. I have a school project to do with my other classmate. Here's the Location, I'll be home later." I said as my mother walk towards me kiss me on the cheek. "Ingat ka anak"
LEABRE'S HOME
I was so shocked when I saw their house. It's really big as in big BIG. Sobrang luwang ng garden nila at yard. There's even a pool beside the big house and other small facilities na I think is bahay ng mga katulong nila. I am so amazed dahil habang papalapit ako may nakita ako "putch– may helipad sila sa bahay?!" I asked myself in disbelief with amusement.
Then someone walk towards me and asked if I am Alexandra Acosta. "Hello po, magandang araw po! Yes po ako po si Alexandra". I replied and smiled. "Okay po ma'am, dito po kayo. Kanina pa po kayo hinihintay ni retsam" tugon naman sa akin ni kuya. Retsam? Nuyon? Waittt, aaaaa master pala.
As I was about to enter the door, someone opened it for me. To my surprise, it is a woman. A pretty woman who looks exactly like Matteah. For sure mommy niya to. "Hello po, I am Alexandra Acosta po. Matteah's classmate" i greeted politely and ask for her hand to bless(mano po). "Napaka bait mo namang bata, btw I am Matteah's mom. She'll be here in a minute. Pasok ka ija"
"Have you eaten na ba, ija?" The older woman asked me. "Yes po tita, don't bother na po hehehe". While me and tita are talking someone walks down the stairs. I can feel that she is looking at me and locking her gaze upon me.
"You're here na pala" Matteah greeted me. "Yeah, kakarating ko lang rin" shuxxx, siya ba yung naaamoy ko? Sobrang bango, Grabe naman si Matteah Leabres.
"Let's go to my study room, all materials needed are complete na" luh complete agad? Gento ba talaga pag mayaman. Gagalingan ko nalang gumawa para may ambag naman ako kahit papaano.
MATT's POV
I am walking downstairs to check if Alexandra have arrived already. I was too stunned to speak when I saw her talking to my mom politely. She looks exquisite today, especially with her outfit. Not so oversized button shirt with her one shoulder exposed.
I tried my best to act cool kasi maangas tayo dapat. While we are planning the design, we decided na truss bridge na lang yung gawin namin. Besides it is simple yet very adamant.
We are almost done with our project, nang biglang umaray si Alexandra. "Aray puta—". "Oh what happened ba? I asked showing concern through my voice. "I cut myself eh, i was cutting the sintra board when the cutter slid through my finger" I quickly grabbe her hand to check on the wound and stand to get some first aid kit.
I started to wipe the blood and clean the wound. "Oh be ready, it will hurt a little" she's about to cry kasi masakit daw talaga yung cut. "I'll blow it, so that it will lessen the pain" she nodded and I continue to treat her.
"I'm sorry" she said without looking into my eyes. "For what?"
"Kasi I consumed some of the time na dapat ay gumagawa tayo ng project" she told me, worry and embarrassment shows to her face. "Nah, it's fine. We can still finish it the next day"
"Thank you, Matteah" she said softly and smiled for me a little. Gosh those smile, I want to see them all the time. I just met her but there's something about this girl that keeps me wanting for more. "Just call me Matt" I told her. "Okay, then call me Anda instead" her nickname sounds like "maganda" that suits her.
It's already 7 pm and Anda told me na she have to go na. But my mom asked her to stay for dinner. She can'it decline the offer of my sweet momma.
Fast Forward—
"Thank you, Matt. I really enjoyed the dinner. Please do tell tita Irene about it" she then said goodbye and smiled at me before she enters their house.
While I was driving home, I can't help but to think about Anda. She's charming and polite too. I'm sure lolo will be fond of her. I didn't notice that I am already smilling from ear to ear. "What's wrong with you today Matt? Stop smilling you monkey!" I said to myself while looking at rear mirror and a soft smile escaped from my lips.
Oh God miss Acosta, what did you do to me?
