C H A P T E R 7

I woke up with a smile. Kayaaaaaa! Ikwekwento ko kay Zia ang date namin ni Alton kahapon! Date ba yun? O picnic? Ah basta! Ahihihi Tatayo na sana ako nung tumunog ang phone ko, I saw a text from an Unknown number.

Unknown Number:

It's me Alton. Thank you for the wonderful date yesterday.

Date nga yun! O.M.G! Bigla akong sumigaw at gumulong gulong sa kama ko. Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago nag reply.

Me:

Hi Alton! Your Welcome. Naka uwi ka ba kahapon ng maayos?

Alton:

Yeah, How about your sleep?

Me:

It's fine, naka tulog naman ako ng maayos

Alton:

That's great! Are you free this weekend?

Me:

Yup. Why?

Alton:

Can I ask you out? Again?

Mag sesecond date pa kami?! Ahhh! Ang puso ko!

Me:

Sure :)

Alton:

Ok, I'll pick you at 8 ;)

Kumindat pa siyaaaaaa. Ok ok, heart, kumalma kaaaa!

Me:

Ok. See you!

Binaba ko na ang phone ko pero biglang tumunog ito. I saw Levi's number calling, kinuha ko agad at sinagot.

Me:

Hello? Levi?

Levi:

Aria

First time tinawag niya ako sa pangalan ko.

Me:

I'm here. Is there anything wrong?

Levi:

Nothing, I-i just missed you.

Me:

Me too, ba't di mo ko pinapansin these past few days?

Levi:

Ahm, I'm just.. uhm, you free today?

Me:

Yeah.

Levi:

Can I come?

Woah. This is not Levi, may problema siguro to.

Me:

Sure. Mag papahanda ako ng Meryenda kay Manang.

Levi:

On my way, sweetie.

Me:

Drive carefully. See you

Levi:

Always, for you.

Binaba ko ang phone at nag ayos na. Bumaba agad ako at sinabihan si Manang na mag handa ng meryenda namin.

Pumunta agad ako sa Theatre Room at nag pumili ng movies. Biglang may yumakap sa likod ko. Pagharap ko I saw Levi, bigla naman niyang binaon ang mukha niya sa balikat ko.

"Hey, you ok?" I ask. Tiningnan niya lang ako at hinigpitan ang yakap niya. I hugged him back, I know there's a problem. I know Levi so much. Nagiging clingy siya kapag may problema. Umupo muna kami at pinlay ko ang movie. We watched the Beauty and the Beast, "Para akong si Beast" Levi said, nilingon ko siya pero nakatitig siya sa screen. "Why?" I ask him. "I am a beast" he said "With a good heart" dagdag ko. He smiled at me. "And you're my Beauty" natulala ako sa sinabi niya "Beast and I have in common, he was rude, so am I, all he only thinks of himself, wala siyang pakialam sa mga nangyayari, so am I. Suddenly, beauty came to his life and she changed him. She changed him Until he's back to his normal form. Parang ikaw, You changed me, from beast to human" he said at tumingin sakin. Ngumiti ako, Yes I've changed him. I remembered it clearly how I changed him. I was only Grade 10 back then and also him.
