"We're here. Let's go?"
Pagkalabas namin sa sasakyan nya nabigla ako ng hawakan nya ang kamay ko.
"Babe, malapit na tayong grumaduate. Naisip ko sana na pag ka graduate natin isama kita sa probinsya namin para makilala ang lolo at lola ko. Gusto ka kasi nila makilala e. Pati narin yung mga pinsan ko. Kung okay lang naman sayo"
Napatingin ako sa kanya bigla. Sobrang lawak ng ngiti nya na para bang sobrang excited nya. Bigla kong naalala yung first time ko syang nakilala nung first day ng pagiging froshies namin.

"Ana, ang gwapo talaga ni renz"
Nandito kami sa gym dahil may pep rally at pinapakilala ang mga varsity ng school namin.
"Oo nga. Hay, kailan kaya nya tayo mapapansin?"
Si ana ang best bud ko simula palang nung grade 1 kami. We treat each other like sisters.
"Basta, okay lang sakin kung di nya ako mapansin. Makita ko lang sya na naglalaro at masaya okay na ako dun haha"
Dahil freshmen palang kami nun. Sobrang nene pa namin at di pansinin. With my messy pony-tailed hair, big eye-glasses, braces and pimples. Ugh. Sino kaya ang gugustuhing kilalanin ako.
"Excuse me"
Napatingin ako sa nagsalita. Shoot! Ang pogi nya.
"Sure"
Nang nakadaan na sya sa harapan ko, nabigla ako ng tumabi sya sakin. Napatingin naman ulit ako sa kanya.
He smiled, "hi"
"He-hello"
"You want some?"
Twix? How did he know that iam addicted to this chocolate? How can i refuse
"Yes, thanks"
"Cedie, by the way. You are?"
He offered his hand. Why is it that he is very handsome with that smile of his.
"Pia"
"So, i presume that you're a froshie?"
May pag aalinlangan sa kanyang mukha na parang gusto nyang malaman kung tama sya.
"Ye-yes"
"So, friends?"
"Friends."
That is the first time that a guy, i mean a handsome guy approached me and want to befriend me.
"See you around, pia"
Before he go he flashes me his perfect smile.

"I'll think about it"
"Alright, babe"
On our to my classroom. I saw Renz, with his basketball friends.
"Do you still like, Renz?"
I was shocked and looked at him. He is wearing his poker face. I remained silent.
"Okay lang. Alam ko naman na saakin ka at sayo lang ako. Kahit anong mangyare may tiwala naman ako sayo na di mo ako ipagpapalit sakanya because we love each other"
If you only knew, Cedie.
He put his hand at my waist as we continue to walk. Napatingin naman ako sa kinaroroonan ni Renz na nakatungo na parang malungkot. Nang tumingin sya sa saakin ulit ay bigla syang ngumiti pero kita ko sa ngiti nya yung sakit at lungkot. Is it because of me or what?
