Hiro:     excuse… pwede ba kitang mahiram?

Joyce:   Hiro… ikaw pala.—

Tumingin si Joyce sa date niya na si Ken…

Ken:     Sure…

Pagkatapos dalhin ni Hiro si joyce sa dance floor, pumunta naman si Ken kay Kris…

Ken:     enjoying yourself Kris?

Kris:     Tsss. Anong gusto mo?

Ken:     napansin ko kasing… kanina pa ang titig mo sa date KO.

Hindi nakasagot si Kris… What can he say anyway, eh totoo naman?

Ken:     Why don’t you mind your own date?

Kris:     Scared that I might steal your date?

Ken:     Tsss… I don’t think pumapatol si Joyce sa mga pedophile…--

Kris:     ano?!

Ken:     Pwede mo namang iinvite si Lexi… ay Wait… pano ka nga naman niya pipiliin over the famous Alden Richards?--

Kris:     You don’t know anything…

Ken:     Hay Kris… Pano na yan ngayon… unti-unti ng sumisikat on her own si Lexi… hindi na ko magtataka kung iwanan ka na niya—

Kris:     shut up…--

Ken:     Tsss. Sa tingin mo ba hahayaan ni Alden na tumira kayo sa iisang bahay lang? Come on kris… So pano yan, san ka na pupulutin?--

Kris:     Shut up, ken…--

Ken:     You’ll be back to where you belong, before you know it…--

Kris:     I SAID, SHUT UP!

Before Ken can finish his taunts, Kris had grabbed him

Ken:     What now, Kris? Balak mo na ba kong bugbugin… alam mo… ayaw ko talaga sa mga paraan NIYONG mahihi—

Kris:     Andami mong alam!!!

Ken:     Kris…  obvious na galit na galit  ka na… kaya lubusin na natin… Alam mo ba kung bakit ka tinanggihan ni Joyce?

Kris:     kasi nauna ka?

Ken:     tssss. Alam mo bang madami ng nauna saking magyaya sa kanya… but still… tinanggihan niya yun…

Kris:     So anong gusto mong palabasin?!

Ken:     Kahit nauna ka pa sakin… tatanggihan ka niya… ‘Cause she’s expecting me to be her date… Come on Kris… Do you actually believe that you stand against ME? Who would Kylieose you… over me?

Little by little, Kris is starting to loosen his grip… He’s opening his mouth as if to protest but no words came out.

Ken:     Tssss… Di hamak naman na mas matalino ako sayo… and besides… do you think you’ll survive without Lexi’s help academically speaking?! At mayaman ako, sa tingin mo ba papayag si Mr. Ching na ibigay ang anak niya sa isang katulad mo?

Kris:     Shut up…

Ken:     Come on Kris… you have to hear this… Mabait si Joyce, I’m fully aware of that… at siguro isa yun sa mga nagustuhan mo sa kanya… pero eto isipin mo… do you think she imagines herself being with you? Kris… she’s friendly… but don’t assume things… Has it never crossed your mind that maybe… she just… pity you?
