November 4, 2011

It's been a week since that night in the karaoke house, pero hanggang ngayon, kumukulo pa rin ang dugo ko. Sa lahat pa ba naman ng lugar na pwede silang mag-outing magbarkada, doon pa talaga sa karaoke house na pinuntahan namin! Hay naku, nakakainis talaga! My night had been ruined because of him. At ang kapal pa ng pagmumukha niya at sinabihan akong sinusundan ko siya! The nerve! As if naman mangyayari yun! In. His. Dreams!

I fought the urge to scream. Calm down, Nadine. Calm down. Hayaan mo siya. Leave the past, live the present. Kalimutan mo nang nangyari pa yun. He doesn't matter anyway. Just forget about him.

I took several deep breaths at nawala na rin kahit papano ang inis ko. I tried to clear my mind and urge myself to fall asleep. Tiningnan ko ang alarm clock sa bedside table ko. It's already 2:00 AM in the morning pero hindi pa rin ako inaantok. Geez!

I was about to close my eyes when suddenly, biglang nag-vibrate ang cellphone ko. What the heck? Sino ba namang normal na nilalang ang mag-te-text sa akin ng 2:00 ng madaling araw?!

Sighing, I took my phone and read the message.

Hi!

From:

(no name)

+63916*******

Huh? Sino na naman 'tong nag-te-text sa akin? I only give my number to specific people only. At hindi rin naman familiar ang number na 'to.

Sorry, but who is this?

Ano ba yan. Kumalat na naman ba ang number ko? Maya-maya'y nag-vibrate ulit ang cellphone ko.

Secret. :P

Hmm, may pa-secret-secret pang alam 'tong sira-ulong 'to a!

Do I know you?

Well, sort of.

"Sort of?" What does that even mean?

Anong ibig mong sabihin? Kakilala ba kita sa school or old acquaintance or something?

Parang ganun na rin. You could probably say na "friend" mo ako.

Now I'm even more confused. Almost lahat naman ng friends ko, whether inside or outside of school, may number ako. And if ever na magpalit man sila ng sim card, pinapaalam rin naman nila agad. So, who is this person?

Are you a boy or a girl?

Medyo natagalan bago siya mag-reply. I was about to fall asleep when my cellphone once again vibrated.

Fine, I'll give you hints. I'm a boy. I'm seventeen years old. You see me in school. And some of my friends call me Jacob. Sige, I know that you're tired and sleepy kaya let's leave it at that. Text you later na lang. Have a good sleep! (^_^)
