It's been ringing for fifteen minutes but I can't find the urge to give up. Amiel gave me his number... more like pinilit ko siya.

It took me a lot of effort just to get this 11 digits! However, I need to make sure if this is legit, okay? Baka mamaya fake na naman 'to!

Messaging that poser of him was traumatizing! Elri would surely smack me in my head if it ever happened again.

Napangiti ako nang sa wakas ay sumagot siya. "Who's this?" Gosh, bedroom voice! I can use this as my ringtone but that would really freak him out, so don't, Elery.

But what? Hindi niya man lang nilagyan ng name yung number ko na ibinigay ko sa kaniya?

Kahit sana tuldok lang ilagay niya roon. Though, much better kung honey.

"Future mo," humagikhik ako. I can't help but to kick my feet in the air. I immediately stop because I looked stupid when I saw myself in my mirror beside my bed.

Too much for attraction and landi.

"I like my present?" natigilan ako.

Does he like someone?

If that's the case then I can change my name to someone.

"Hindi ka pa naman sure," I chuckled, choking the huge lump on my throat.

Bumungtong-hininga na naman siya. Parang pagod na pagod siyang kausap ako lagi! "Why did you call?"

"I just wanna inform you na maayos akong nakauwi," napanguso ako. He's really amusing, other guys would sound like a dog if they received a phone call from me. But him, he's so normal, really different.

That what makes him interesting.

"But I was the one who went home..." Napairap ako. Of course, I just want to talk to him! Manhid! He didn't message me kasi kung buhay ba siyang nakatapak ng dorm nila. I'm a concerned manliligaw!

We exchanged numbers. More like I did it by diskarte and a lot of palusot. I'm really convinced that I have talent for acting now, but it's true naman that I have to contact him if ever there are further adjustments. Chances like these are rare, so I need to give it my best.

No, make it perfect as much as possible.

So as a result, I won't have to message a fucking poser anymore, but I didn't even received a message! One fucking emoji would suffice.

Before siya umuwi kagabi ay pinakain ko muna siya. As expected, Elri almost made me bald for using all of our stocks. As if she didn't eat? I'm the cook kaya sa'min dalawa, dahil kapag siya ang nagluluto nagiging bato ang simple fried egg!

"Fine. Good luck in your game tomorrow, Amiel!" I ended the call and smirked.

I just realized ako lang ang tumatawag sa kaniya by his first name. Karamihan kasi sa kanila ay Miel lang or surname niya. Surname na mapapasakin balang araw.
