Note: This is not a part of the story. This just the Author explanation in-case readers are confused.
~~
Unang-una.. what's DOUBLE D according to Shanlynn? Double D stands for DEAL and DARE. It's an insult. Deal, dahil sa deal ni Ash and Chris. Dare dahil sa sinabi nga ni Chester na sinabi lang niya na gusto niya si Chris dahil nga sa dare. In short, it's an insult galing kay Shanlynn dahil lumalabas na wala naman talagang nagkagusto kay Chris. But in the end... notice her line was kinda' twisted?
Second, about the locket part. Oh my God. Remember nung nagkwento si Chris kay Ash na may natagpuan siyang guy na duguan? That very same day eh nawala rin yung locket niya. That guy happened to be Peter! Sa totoo lang, sa mga chaps dito nag-iiwan naman ako ng hint behind their pasts kaya lang ang kadalasan niyo lang na napapansin eh yung obvious ones. Example, yung connecting chain na lagng nasa back pocket ni Ash? Chris thought it was just an ordinary guy connecting chain. Pang-porma na bawal sa school. But it so happened na yung connecting chain eh.. Chris's locket. Nilagay ni Ash yun sa coat niya para makuha ni Chris ng hindi na niya kinakailangan pang mag-explain. Then, he ran away. Ok? Paano napunta kay Ash yung locket? Kanino siya nag-promise at hindi niya sinabi kay Chris? Bakit galit si Shanlynn kay Chris? What about the camp thingy? Well.. masasagot ko lang yan sa mga susunod pang chap.
Third, about the revelation of R-12. Sinabi ni Ash dati na hindi sila pwedeng magkaroon ng R-12 nung nag-propose si Chris na dapat meron. I left that line open in case na may nakapansin.. sabi niya.. 'Hindi pwede..' something.. nung nasa cafeteria sila. Hindi dapat dahil MERON NA. Hindi niya sinabi kay Chris dahil alam naman niya na boyish si Chris, hindi papayag sa ganung rule yun! Another hint na iniwan ko noon eh yung nag-away si Shalyna at Chris at ang umawat kay Shanlynn eh si Ash. Inaway ni Chris si Ash about that stinky R-12 kaya lang ang sagot ni Ash, 'Our deal's on paper!' which is true dahil nanduon yung rule-12 na ginawa niya. And all this time ang iniisip niyo eh hindi nag-eexist yung R-12... most of you are stuck up on that idea.. hehehehe.. well, it's kinda' true. Chris's version of R-12 DOES NOT EXIST... and Ash's version EXISTS.
Fourth, si Chester ang naglagay nung watch ni Shanlynn. All true! Remember narinig ni Chris na walang alam si Shanlynndoon.. it's Chester. Well.. si Ash ang sumalo thinking na iisipin ni Chris na siya nga talaga ang may gawa. But instead na magalit siya, lalo pa siyang nag-trust kay Ash. The day rin na kakausapin ni Chris si Chester na si Ash na magiging date niya, yun dapat yung sasabihin niya. Then pumayag si Chester na sila yung maging date, so Chris can use him. Chester said, 'You can use me, I'm willing to do it.' Why? Kasi may guilt feelings pa siya. And anything na pwede niyang magawa kay Chris will ease that guilt feeling.
Fifth, si Mrs. Salinas na mom ni Chris at si Shanlynn as her sis. Just like my answer to number 2, sa next chappy na lang!
