"Sigurado ka ba? B-baka naman nagkataon lang. Matagal ng wala si Jas."

"That's what I thought..." sabi ko atska tumango-tango. Tatayo na sana ako nang hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. Napatingin ako sakanya at titig na titig lamang siya sakin.

"Don't think too much, okay? I love you." He said na para bang naninigurado. I just smiled at him and nod.

"Sure. B-but, may I ask? Kanino mo nalaman na w-wala na siya?" To be honest, im scared of asking this question to him. He just stared at me for a long time then sighed.

"My mom told me..." I frozed. Literally. There's a big possibility that she's Elmo's ex.

"Y-your mom?" I asked. He gave me a confused look, as I look away.

"Yep. Bakit?"

"W-wala naman." I said still not looking in his eyes. He held my hand tighter and made me look at him.

"Queen, I know there's something bothering you... go on, tell me." There's concerned look evident in his eyes. I gulp as I ask...

"What if she's not really dead? What if she's here? What if she came back? What if she'll take you away from me? What if we'll be ruined? What if when you saw her again you'll realize that-"

"I still love her? Seriously, Queen?" He asked in disbelief.

"N...no! It's just that..."

"So what if she's really here and came back to me? I told you, I love you, right? Are you doubting my love for you?"

"Of course not! I... I just can't lose you..." I almost whispered. I feel weak.

"Di ko kakayanin..." bulong ko. Hinila niya ako papalapit sakanya at niyakap ng mahigpit. Ramdam ko ang mainit niyang katawan. I felt so stupid na in-open up ko ito, now that he's sick.

"And I can't bear to lose you too. She come back? So be it. It doesn't matter to me anymore. I have you now." He whispered as he kissed the top of my head.

Monday morning I'm an hour early for our first class at dalawa pa lang ang nasa room...Nadatnan ko na siyang nakaupo sa upuan niya sa classroom. Naka headset at nakapikit ang mga mata. He's hot, I could say. Napailing na alang ako and when I was about to go in his place, one man grabbed my wrist.

I saw Glenn sitting just two rows from the back. Kaklasi namin siya, yes. But this is actually the first time he approached me.

"Good Morning Julie Anne." He said as a smirk plastered in his face. I found it weird actually. But being me, who's not really rude to others...

"G-good morning Mister." I greeted back. Pasimple ko namang tinatanggal ang kamay ko sa kamay niya pero mas humigpit lang yon.

"You're stuttering. Maybe you like me? Huh?" He said, still smirking.

"What? Excuse me Mister? Hindi ka naman ba niyang assuming?" I can't help but to roll my eyes.

He chuckled. "Diba dito naman talaga nagsisimula?" Sabi biya saka tumingin sa natutulog kong kasintahan. " Ganito nga kayo nagsimula diba?" Then he looked back at me.

"Eh ano ngayon?"

"You can have me. And I promise we'll keep it rendezvous." He said then he gave me a wink. Tumayo siya't inilapit ang mukha niya sakin, pilit ko pa ring inaalis ang kamay niya sa pulso ko.
