That night, hindi ito masyadong nakatulog. She was still up and still thinking of any logical reason why she blushed. Hindi pa siya makapaniwala noong sinabi iyon ng kaibigan. Akala niya nagbibiro lamang ito. 

Kaya naman binigyan siya ng kaibigan ng salamin and true enough, she was blushing. 

Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin niya alam kung bakit. She couldn't pinpoint what it was when the guy's image flashed into her mind. Si Thomas Torres. 

Hindi naman niya ikakaila na gwapo ito. He's the type of guy na kahuhumalingan ng mga babae at binababae. Iyong lalaking maituturing the campus heartthrob. Someone she can never have. Someone she doesn't deserve.

Kumpara sa kanya, sikat ito dahil bukod sa guwapo ay magaling pa sa larong basketball. Unlike her, magaling lang naman siya. She was crowned Rookie of the Year during her debut year in the tournament and MVP on the next year. Hindi naman siya yung kagandahan na tao at alam niya iyon. 

She's average. Not worth a second look.

Sikat lang siya dahil napabilang siya sa isa sa mga magagaling at prestihiyosong paaralan. If it weren't for that, she would be nothing.

Hindi katulad ng bestfriend niyang si Mika. Mika was called The Darling of the Crowd. Maganda kasi ito kahit na maikli ang buhok. Matangkad pa at maputi. In short, nasa kanya na ang lahat, as what the song suggests. 

"Ara?"

"Hmm?"

"Tulongan mo na kasi ako kay Jeron, please?"

She grunted. "Ayoko." giit niya. "Hindi naman kami close nun. And I bet he'd never even want to know me." dagdag pa nito.

--

"Sige na kasi, Ara! Please?" Mika said. 

Kanina pa siya kinukulit ng kaibigan na tulongan daw siya sa pagpapapansin sa crush nitong si Jeron. Ara didn't understand Mika. Bakit siya ang nagpapapansin kay Jeron? She finds it unreasonable na yung babae ang gumagawa ng paraan para mapansin siya ng lalaki. 

Call her traditional but she's just that kind of person. Kung gusto ka naman ng lalaki e siya yung lalapit sa'yo. You don't need to push it, kung ayaw sa'yo edi h'wag. 

Sighing for the nth time, she said, "Ayoko nga kasi. H'wag nang makulit. Si Kim na lang kasi. H'wag ako." 

Mika pouted. "Sige na kasi. Ganyan ba ang kaibigan?" and now she was blackmailing her. 

Ara scowled and made faces. "Oo na, oo na!" She hates it when she does that. 

"Talaga?" hindi makapaniwalang sagot ni Mika. 

Ara rolled her eyes. "Oo, as if I had a choice when you're putting our friendship line." panimula niya. "Oo na po. Tutulongan na kitang ligawan si Jeron mo."

Pinalo siya ng kaibigan. "Anong ligawan ka d'yan! Duh!" And now it was Mika's turn to roll her eyes and then smiled when she thought of something witty. 

"Don't worry, Tomsy. Tutulongan din kitang ligawan si Thomas kung gusto mo." she grinned a triumphant one. 

Napasinghap ito sa sagot ng kaibigan. "W-what the hell are you saying?!"

"Sus, kunyare ka pa. Here's a mirror." natatawang sabi nito. "Namumula ka na naman kaya, duh!" 

And for the second time, she was blushing true enough. Tinawanan na lamang siya ng kaibigan.

-- 

Even if she didn't knew anything about, well, attracting men, she still went and help Mika with her 'pagpapa-pansin'. Although, she wasn't doing anything. 

Nakatayo lang siya malapit sa CR habang ang kaibigan naman niya ay tingin ng tingin sa labas. Kakatapos lang kasi nitong magpaganda. Mika was just waiting for Jeron to come out and take notice of her.

"This is so boring." sambit niya. "Aalis na nga ako." dagdag pa niya.

Pero bago pa man ito makatungtong sa pintuan ay pinigilan siya agad ni Mika. 

"Sandali lang, Ars! Nandiyan na siya oh!" Mika shouted in frantic manner. 

Ara just gave out a sigh. "Okay. Tara na." 

Lumabas ang mga ito at nakita si Jeron kasama si Arnold. Ara didn't knew what to do habang hinahamapas hampas siya ni Mika sa sobrang kilig. 

"Ang guwapo, Ars! Shiz! Ang guwapo guwapo talaga!" sabi pa nito na siyang kinainisan ni Ara.

"Hoy... kung magpakilala ka na lang kaya, ano? Tsaka please lang, ha? Yang braso ko, masakit na." pabulong na sabi nito. 

Para silang timang na nagkumpulan sa labas ng room nila Jeron. 

"Eh... ayoko. Nahihiya ako.." sambit pa ng kaibigan. 

"Bwisit ka talaga."
