Katulad ng pagsibol ng puno, gaanon rin kabilis ang pagkakaibigan nila Erin. At katulad rin ng pag paglagas nito, ay kasing bilis rin ng mga ala-alang tila kahapon lamang.
This is a story where time is a test. Will the echoes of laughter and shared...
Class ended but Erin doesn't feel like going home.
She was bothered by the tension between Leeon and the head mistress. Naalala niya na magd-dinner sila ngayon, is he gonna be okay? Erin doesn't know why she's concerned. In fact, it is none of her business. Leeon would eventually tell her to not meddle and just let him be. But why does she feel like she wanted to step in?
Because somehow, she reminded him of Keeana.
They do not have the freedom to live their lives. What's the point of living if you're not in control of yourself?
Keeana wanted to live, to be in control of her life, but life itself gave her up. The same goes for Leeon, he wanted to live like all people do, free. But he is a bird being kept in a cage by her mother. As the sole heir of their family, he has no choice but to be responsible, it's the least he could do for being alive.
Hindi namalayan ni Erin na bumaba na ang sikat ng araw, napalitan na ito ng puting liwanag galing sa buwan. She is still on a bleacher, contemplating whether to reach out for Leeon. After a minute of plucking random things stuck on the bleachers, Erin finally decided to go home. Hindi pa siya tinatawagan ng nanay ni Keeana but she knew that she was already worried.

Nagsimula na siyang bumaba nang mahagip ng mata niya ang isang pigura sa basketball area. Naka hoodie itong itim at busy sa pagpasok ng hoops. Erin doesn't need to squint her eyes to see who the familiar figure was, it was no doubt Leeon. His presence alone screams that he's the Leeon Lewis.

She sneakily went towards his direction, making sure not to be seen. Akala ko may family dinner sila? Did Leeon ditched the dinner with his mom? Hindi niya namalayan na napatigil na siya sa paglalakad at napatitig na lamang sa naglalarong si Leeon. Erin doesn't even notice that this is starting to become her habit, she would stare at someone or something whenever she's in deep thought. Simula nang makilala niya si Leeon ay napapadalas na lamang ang pagtitig nito dahil busy siya kakaisip.
Little did she know that whenever Erin does that, Leeon is already grasping that habit of hers —especially since si Leeon lang naman ang lagi nitong tinititigan. Because of that habit of hers, Leeon already grasp that feeling when someone's watching him, dahil agad itong tumigil sa pag shoot ng bola sa hoop at napalingon sa direksiyon ni Erin. She shouldn't be surprised, but she did. Nanlaki ang mata nito nang mahuli siya ni Leeon na nakatitig sakanya. He would think of me as a creep or something.
