"A-ah. Wala. Secret nga e. Sige, una na 'ko. Bye." Glaiza said as she grabbed the tray and walked away.

"Cha?" I looked confusingly at her retreating figure as I called out her name. "Huy, Cha!" But she didn't even look back. She just continued walking. I wanted to run after her. I took a step forward but something stopped me.

A faint chuckle from my right pulled me back from the 'Glaiza world' I was currently in. Jason pulled me closer to him and pinched my nose. I forced a smile at him. "Boo?"

"Yes, boo?" he cooed.

"Ano yung secret niyo?"

He kissed my shoulder and placed his chin on it. "Wala yun, boo. Wag mong intindihin." he grinned. "I'll tell you soon enough."

I slowly nodded as I took another cube from the tray and munched on it.

"Sooo.. I'll see you later?" I said, getting out of his grip.

"Yeah. I'll be in the game room kasama sina Christian if you need me." I nodded as I placed the tray back in the freezer and went off to look for Glaiza, whom I found by the lake with the others. Sheena was resting her head on Glaiza's shoulder while the two boys were on each side. I stopped a few feet behind them and admired the setting of the sun before my eyes.

"Cha.." I called out, saying her name like it was as fragile as porcelain. Like it was about to break if anyone else said it.

I swear.. everything went slow motion after that.

She turned her head and my eyes locked with hers. The pinkish-orangy shade of the sky reflected on her perfect face. Her eyes glistened from the light bouncing off the sky and the lake. I was awestruck. I can really never get used to her effortless beauty. I felt like my voice got caught up in my throat.

In that moment, I knew that something has definitely changed. She made me feel butterflies without even trying. And as for me,

I felt like I was doing nothing.

There I was with Jason when I know that my heart was with her.

I. Want. Her.

She smiled at me, strands of her hair were being blown swiftly by the breeze. "Po?"

Still daydreaming, I smiled back and played with my fingers as I awkwardly looked down every now and then. "U-uh. Can we.. um.. Can I talk to you for a sec?"

She blinked several times before answering. "Yeah. Sure." Sheena sat up straight to give Glaiza space to stand. "Guys samahan ko lang 'to ha." She waved at the three and walked towards me.

I was mesmerized as she inched closer. Everything felt like a scene from from a dream I once had.

The sky was fading into the darkness.
