Chapter 7: Don't
"Ma'am, uuwi na po ba tayo?" The driver asked after kong makapasok sa kotse ulit.
Bumili lang naman kasi ako ng libro sa National Bookstore at ng pagkain para trip lang.
"Opo." Tipid kong sabi sabay kuha ng cellphone ko sa bag.

From: Ethan
Hey Elle. I'm sorry about hanging you like that. Freya's sick and you know that OA ako pagdating sa kanya. I'm really sorry, Elle. Babawi ako sa'yo promise ko 'yan. I'm sorry.
I turned off my phone and look at the window once again.
I know that some other guys like me because I am popular along with my cousins. Pero siya pa rin talaga ang iba. Even if I look for other guy, bigla ka nalang susulpot at sweet.
Parang may limitations pa rin ako sa'yo, Ethan. My limit is hanggang best friend lang.
Just a Friend A.
Why can't I just use a magic to erase this feelings towards you?!
"Ma'am, ayos lang ho ba kayo? Narito na ho tayo sa bahay ninyo. Kanina pa rin po tumutunog ang inyong cellphone." Nagulat naman ako at napansing nasa garahe na nga kami.
Lumabas na ako at nagpasalamat kay Kuya Driver at binuksan ang cellphone ko.
"Hello?"
"Bakla!! Where na ba you?!"
"Kakarating ko lang. Bakit ba?"
"We're here na. Nasa movie room kami. Excited kasi ang mga lokong pinsan natin eh."
"Ahh. Okay, I'll just change in my room and then, pupuntahan ko kayo diyan."
"Okay! Anyways, Freya is here with Ethan. I thought you are together?! Why is he with that bitch?!"
"Calm yourself, Kea. They might hear you. Ikukuwento ko nalang mamaya okay?"
"Hindi pwedeng mamaya 'cuz! Thalia and I will go up in your room. Make sure you unlock it! Bye!"
