Where's My Hanky?

Chapter 9

Nagising ako around 10 PM.

I checked out my phone and there are 4 missed calls from Mykkie.

I checked out my blog and was surprised when I saw an unread message. I have a lot of followers but they barely send me personal messages. They just do shout outs.

I opened the message.

Elle.

My eyebrows rose up because the message doesn't make any sense. That's when I finally thought of checking who sent it.

November? The sender's name is freaking November. Don't get me wrong but for me, it's such a lame username though it's mysterious.

I ignored it and went to the kitchen to grab something to eat. I took my phone with me so I can text Mykkie.

I grabbed some fried chicken from the fridge and heated it in the microwave oven. I also made some toasts. I liked the ambiance right now. The dim light made it real cozy.

While waiting for my fried chicken to completely heat up, I unlocked my phone and composed a message for Mykkie.

Hi. Just woke up. Why did you call?

The microwave beeps in time as I sent the message to Mykkie. I take my chicken out of the microwave oven and sit on a stool in the mini bar.

Mykkie might be asleep now. Di na siguro siya makakapagreply. Habang busy ako sa pagkain, naisip ko na naman ang sinabi ni Cole kanina. Bakit kaya siya nagalit dahil lang in-assume ko na si Dan ang partner ko sa English Literature class namin? I don't wanna be a hypocrite pero imposible namang nagseselos siya. Bakit naman siya magseselos diba? Unless, may gusto siya sa akin.

Wait. Di rin naman imposible na magkagusto siya sa akin. Well, not that I'm boasting about it but I know I'm not ugly. And I'm smart specifically in Math. Pero bakit siya ganun kung may gusto nga siya sa akin? Bakit niya nasabi yung mga salitang iyon?

Nang matapos akong kumain, umakyat na ulit ako sa kwarto ko at nagtoothbrush. Nag-beep ang computer ko, meaning, may message ulit sa blog ko.

Lumabas ako sa bathroom ko to check it.

What the hell?

I can't get any more excited for your next hanky brand.

This totally caught my full attention. This time, I won't ignore it. I immediately typed a reply.

Who are you?

I instantly got a reply.

Idiot. Can't you read it on your screen? I'm November.

I got pissed. This person's really getting onto my nerves.

Ugh! You're much more idiot. Didn't it ever come to your mind that I might think that you're just using a screen name or something? Try to think, dude. And by the way, so you have my hankies? You're such a thief. Please, whoever you are don't mess up with me and just leave me and my hankies alone!!!

I pressed the enter button hard that it might be ruined.

About 30 seconds later or so, November replied again.

Hahaha. Sorry but I just can't. I think I'm already addicted to you and your hankies are the only things that makes me feel close to you. :)

Ew. Creepy. This person is a total stalker. Gosh. Someone's stalking me and it's creeping the hell out of me. I need to be more careful. I need to be more secured. I shouldn't be walking around alone. What if that person's always watching me from afar and just waiting to abduct me? What if...
