[FEW HOURS AGO]
[-SHAYNE'S POINT OF VIEW-]
[LAWSON UNIVERSITY]
[5:45 PM]
(After I left the classroom, I saw Claire standing outside and looking at me seriously.)
CLAIRE: Shayne...
SHAYNE: Oh, hey... Why are you still here?
CLAIRE: K-kase.. ano... hinihintay kase kita...
SHAYNE: Me? But why??
(At that time, I noticed that her eyes became sad as she stared at me.)
CLAIRE: Regarding sa sinabi ko sayo last time... I... I really mean it, Shayne.. please... sana bigyan mo rin ako ng chance...
(There she is again. Oh, God. I don't wanna hurt again her feelings but what should I say to her then?... )
...
[Noong mga oras na iyon, paakyat naman si Sophie ng hagdanan. Pag-akyat niya, nakita niya na seryosong magkausap sina Claire at Shayne.
Habang kinakausap ni Claire si Shayne, napansin ni Shayne na nasa likuran ni Claire si Sophie kaya pasimple siyang napatingin dito.]
...
(She continued to speak.)
CLAIRE: Shayne, you know, I really love you. *[sniff] Ikaw lang talaga yung guy na minahal ko nang ganito. Please, pumayag ka nang maging tayo.
SHAYNE: Claire, look. Along the way, marami ka pang nakikilala aside from me na mas better pa sakin.
CLAIRE: No. *[sniff] Ikaw lang ang gusto ko, Shayne. No one else.
(I really don't know what to say...)
[Sa puntong iyon, niyakap na ni Claire si Shayne. Malungkot namang napapatingin si Shayne kay Sophie.]
(Sophie is looking at us now. I remembered what he said to me earlier.)

SOPHIE: Sana bigyan mo si Claire ng pagkakataon.
SHAYNE: I'm sorry but I can't.
...
SOPHIE: Dati pag may sinabe ako sayo, ginagawa mo kahit ano pa yan... kahit alam mong mahihirapan ka o pagtatawan ka lang ng mga tao. Pero bat ito? Bat di mo kayang gawin?
SHAYNE: Can't you see? You still in my heart and no one could ever replaced you.

SHAYNE: Didn't I tell you before? Mahal ko pa rin ang ex ko. Ayokong masaktan lang kita.
CLAIRE: Then I will make a way para makalimutan mo siya. Shayne, please... sana bigyan mo ako ng chance.
[Lalo pang niyakap ni Claire si Shayne. Napapatingin pa rin si Shayne kay Sophie na may halong lungkot. Hanggang sa napansin niya na umatras na si Sophie at tuluyan nang umalis sa kinatatayuan nito.
Habang nakayakap si Claire kay Shayne, patuloy lang na naaalala ni Shayne yung mga sinabe sa kanya ni Sophie.]
