Just Another Day at the Beach

Nicholas Sparks

As the movie finished, we walked to the trash can and threw away our trashes for popcorn, smoothies, and the Cadbury chocolate bar wrapper RJ wanted really badly. Then RJ waited for me outside the bathroom cause i needed to go. I walked outside and slipped my arm in his. "Maganda ba?" I asked. "Oo. Akala ko romance talaga siya, mystery pala.". "Mm. I read the book actually, it's still better. Fan ako ni John Green.". "Ah so you read pala. I like Nicholas Sparks.". I stopped walking and RJ looked at me worried. "Ano? Okay ka lang?". "Nicholas Sparks?". "Oo, bakit." He said letting out a laugh "Masyado bang pang teen?". "RJ, favorite ko si Nicholas Sparks! Super fan! Promise.". "Talaga? Oh! Yung The Choice lalabas next year! Reserved na kita as date ko dun ah.". "Sige!" She said smiling big. My favorite was A Walk to Remember, and his was The Notebook. I absolutely loved that one too. "Ang classic talaga ni Nicholas Sparks eh! Kaso lang sobrang nakakalungkot ng mga stories nya, noh?" I said. "Oo nga. Did you know that A Walk to Remember was dedicated to his sister in real life. As in si Jamie dun sa story, parehong pareho ng sister nya. She also got cancer and was strong in faith. She also met this guy like Landon, na wala namang gusto kay Jamie. Pero look, in the end, kahit alam na nyang may sakit, pinakasalan rin nya." then he stopped talking. "I didn't know that. Nakakainspire naman.". "Very. That's why fan na fan ako sa kanya.". So we ended up chattering about our favorite author 'till we got to the restaurant we were gonna eat at.

We ate at Italiannis, an Italian restaurant I've eaten at a couple times but RJ hasn't. We ate at a normal pace, but quicker than usual. After eating, we agreed to have lunch again, tomorrow morning at the Faulkerson's place. RJ spoke to his dad and agreed to let us chill there. So we went off, Batangas bound for the next hours.
