Quote of the day:

• Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional, but the people and things that comes to your mind when you hear it.

Denzel Sean's POV:

"What are you doing here, Brianna?" I asked while reading a book.

"Kuya Stanley invited me here noh. Don't make pakealam nga." She answered.

"Tss."

"Brianna, teka lang ha, kukuha lang ako ng cookies tsaka ice cream sa fridge para satin. Kwentuhan tayo sa garden. Hindi natin isasali 'yung isa diyan." I glared at kuya Darren but he just smiled and winked at me.

"As if." I said and closed my book.

"What's that book all about?" She asked.

"Huwag kanang magtanong. Hindi ko rin sasabihin sayo." I said and stood up, "Enjoy with kuya." I said and smiled at her.

"Why... did you smiled at me? Are we bati na?..." She asked stuttering.

"Nah. I'll go upstairs." I said.

             I lay on my bed and continued reading. Kailan pa 'ko nagkaroon ng interes sa politika? Wala na kasi akong ibang pwedeng basahin. Nabasa ko na lahat ng nasa bookshelf ko. Kailangan ko ng bumili ng bago.

             While reading, I heard Brianna and Kuya laughing outside. Aish. Bakit ba kasi sa likod pa sila ng bahay nagkwentuhan. Pumwesto sila sa garden katabi ng pool. At nakatapat doon ang bintana ng kwarto ko. Aish.

"Hahaha. Wait lang, Brianna. I'll just get some drinks at cake. Wait for Kuya Stan." I heard him said.

"Okay kuya." She answered.

           Umupo ako sa kama at isinara ang libro ko. Umusog ako papunta sa tapat ng bintana para silipin si Brianna doon. She's quietly eating ice cream while smiling. She looks cute, really... After that, she gazed on the clouds and closed her eyes na para bang pinapakiramdaman niya ang nasa paligid niya.

"Magkagalit pala kayo ha?"

"What the!" I was shocked when I saw kuya staring at me. He chuckled on my reaction.

"What are you doing here?" I asked trying to calm myself and act naturally.

"And why are you looking outside your window? Hmm, let me guess, are you staring at Brianna Shane? Pfftt." He asked mockingly.

"Shut up. Get out." I said and opened my book again.

"Ayiieeehh, he's gazing at Brianna~"

"I'm not. Now, get out."

"Ayiieehh, aamin na 'yan~"

"I said get out." I said really pissed.

"Pfftt, tara na, sama kana sa labas. Let's have bonding together with Brianna." Hee said.

"Get.Out.Of.Here.NOW!" I shouted.

"Whoa! Easy, dude. Alright, sumunod kana lang sa baba if you want. Puntahan mo lang kami sa likod ng bahay. Bye little brother." He said and wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Tss. Close the door when you leave."

"Okay. Bye." He said and closed the door as I've said.

           Na... nakakahiya! You're really stupid, Sean! Really! Baka akala 'nun naiinggit ka. No, you're not. Just shut your mouth, close your book, and sleep, NOW!
