"Uy TJ! Di ka pa pala umuuwi." a man said.

"I saw her e. Kaya I've decided na wag munang umuwi." TJ replied.

"Nga pala, Trisha, si Marco, ka-blockmate ko. Marco, si Trisha, school mate ng kapatid ko."

I smiled at Kuya Marco. He smiled at me. I greeted him hello and he do the same.

We shooked our hands afterwards.

"Waiting for the results of the exam?" he asked.

"Yes po."

"Well then, good luck sa results. Hope to see you around the campus soon."

"Thank you po." I said.

"Sige TJ. Mauna na ko. Kita kits na lang sa Lunes."

TJ just nodded and they bump their fists.

"Sige Trisha. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too! Ingat po!"

When Kuya Marco's gone, TJ spoke up.

"That Marco knows all of my secrets."

"As in all?" I asked.

"Well, almost all."

"He's your bestfriend?"

"Nope. He's my brother from another mother."

"I see. More like bestfriends pala."

"May dadaanan ka pa ba bago ka umuwi?" TJ asked.

"Well, I'm planning to buy flowers and drop by on my otou-san's tomb."

"Ikaw lang?"

I just nodded.

After a few seconds, he spoke again.

"Umm... Can I accompany you?"

OMG! This would be great! I'd love that! Kaso....

"You have no plans for the rest of the day?"

Please say no! Please?

"Hmm..... Wala naman. So, pwede ba?"

"Sure. No problem."

It's already 2:05 in the afternoon. I'm nervous for the result.

Before I enter the door of the Admissions Office...

"TJ, okay lang ba kung ikaw muna tumingin nang result?"

"You sure?"

I nodded.

"Sure. Ako na lang din kukuha if you want."

I smiled ruefully and said thanks.

I gave my examination permit to him. He said na upo muna ko sa may bench and wait for him.

He already went inside the Admissions Office.

And I am nervously waiting what the results might be.

This is my dream school e! My dream boy is also studying here! Therefore, dapat pumasa ko!

After a minute, lumabas na si TJ sa Admissions Office. I rushed towards him.

I looked at his expression. He's sad.

"I did not pass?" I asked him sadly.

"I'm sorry Trish." he said sadly.

He handed me the paper which contains the result.

I looked at it and my heart broke.

"I failed the exam huh."
