Enrollment's such a bother. We have to take a test pa pala before we can enroll. Buti na lang at alam ko ang ilan sa mga sagot but I'm not if those were enough to admit me here. Nevertheless, I still found myself a friend.


"Where are you gonna go after this? Three hours pa before the results will be posted!" sabi sa akin ni Patty.


Patty is this tall girl with brown curls. I am tall but I feel small whenever I'm standing beside her. She told me na she was a volleyball player and that she's planning to join the university's varsity if ever na makapasok naman siya. I envy her.. may plano na siya habang ako ay hindi alam kung anong gagawin. I just chose my course dahil ito lang ang sa tingin kong bagay sa akin. I don't even know what sport I play!


"I don't know. I am not familiar with the neighborhood," sabi ko sa kanya.


"Why? Kakalipat niyo lang?"


"I think so. I don't exactly know anything from my past."


"You got amnesia?"


"Siguro? But my Mom said that I got into an accident so most probably, I have amnesia or I am just terrible at remembering things," sabi ko sa kanya. Tumawa naman siya sa sinabi ko.


"Tara, let's go to the mall!" sabi niya sa akin sabay hila palabas ng building.


Habang naglalakad naman kami palabas ng gate ay nadaanan na naman namin ang isang grupo ng mga estudyanteng nag-fifilm ng kung ano.


"Look, may taping doon!" sabi ni Patty sabay hila sa akin. Ako naman itong nagpasama. 


When we got closer, I saw the guy behind the camera again. Pero ngayon ay nakita kong nakatitig na rin siya.


"The director is so hot!" bulong sa akin ni Patty pero hindi ko pinansin dahil hindi pa rin tinatanggal noong lalaki ang titig niya sa akin. 


I can't describe how his stare is. There are moments na kasing-lamig ito ng yelo, pero agad ding nagsshift at nagiging warm ang tingin niya. He's making me feel awkward but I felt like our souls are connected right now. I've never felt like this with anyone.


"Hey, he's checking you out," sabi ni Patty. I shook all of my thoughts away. It's impossible we've met before. I can't even place his face anywhere in my mind.


"Come on, don't be absurd," sabi ko sa kanya sabay tawa, hoping na hindi niya mapansin na naawkward ako.


"Tara na nga! Masyado nang umiinit dito sa pwesto natin," pag-aya ni Patty at pinagpatuloy na namin ang paglalakad.


"Wait! Excuse me! Miss!" 


Napalingon naman kaming pareho ni Patty para tingnan kung sino ang sumisigaw na iyon. Lahat din ng mga kasabayan naming maglakad ay napalingon din. Nagulat naman ako nang nakita ko iyong lalaki na tumatakbo papunta sa direksyon namin. His black hair's bouncing as his feet stepped on the floor. His white shirt had coffee stains and was swept to the side as he ran towards us.
