Florence's Point of View

"Sir saan niyo gustong kumain?" Rod asked

Rod has been my guard since I was 7 years old. He's been my partner in crime and my second dad.

"Uhm. It's up to you" sabi ko.

Then naglakad na kami. I just followed Rod.

And now nasa Jolibee na kami.

Haisstt... Every time na sinasabi kong siya yung bahala, dito niya napipiling pumunta.

Seriously?? Is Rod a fan of Jolibee??

I can't blame him. Ako naman nagsabi.. Haiist!! Sana sinabi ko nalang na sa pizza hut kami..

"Sir, order na 'ko" he said and walked away

He don't need to ask. Alam na niya. At iisa lang naman yung gusto ko dito.. Coke float and fries..

Haisst. I hate being here.. Sanay na ako sa pagtitig ng mga tao sa paligid, but they even stare at me when I'm eating.

Haisst.. Gwapo kasi ako.. Ang hirap din e.

I looked away. Di ko na kinaya.

Kaya heto tinitignan ko nalang dito sa labas. Glass naman e, kaya nakikita ko yung mga taong naglalakad.

Then suddenly, naalala ko yung babaeng nakabanggaan ko kanina.

Siya rin yung nakabanggaan ko noon. Sa area na maraming ballpen.

---flashback----

I was looking for G-tec pen while holding my float. Don't ask why... Take- out nalang.. 

I can't stand those girls watching me while eating.. Aisshh!!! They're so annoying!!

While I was looking for it, I sensed someone is coming.

So, bumaling ako.

I was stunned.

I didn't realize that an angel can live here on earth.. Yes, she's like an angel..

While looking at the angel-like girl, I felt what they call as "slowmo"..

Sslllooooowwwwmmoottiiiooonnnn......

Damn... The way her hair move.. The curves of her lips, her eyes, everything seems so perfect.

Then suddenly............

I felt something cold..

Hindi ko napansin na na-out balance siya at napasandal siya saakin.

I was not surprised, as I said I was holding a coke float.. Kaya nabuhos saakin.

Sh*t
