Kung nagsasalita lang ang blinking cursor sa cellphone na hawak ko, kanina pa nagreklamo. Kanina pa rin nalusaw dahil nakatitig lang ako dito.

My fingers were itching to sort a message. Pero naihipan yata ang aking utak. Nablangko. Walang maisip.

Ano'ng itetext ko? Nakng!

I'm not fond of texting. I don't even have a textmate. Ni wala akong unang tinitext maliban kung exigent.

Sina Paris at Hazel lang ang nakakatext kong babae. Minsan, sina Ate Kira at Master, if necessary. Palagi, tinatamad akong magreply lalo na kung nangungulit lang.

But now... I'll be the one who's gonna send a message?

To someone I don't even know... entirely?

That would be creepy, right?

Inscrutable. Totally preposterous.

Hindi naman ako kilala ni AB.

Humingi kaya ako ng tips kay Risk? Maraming katext 'yon, eh. Expert sa babae.

Kaso... tokwa! Baka puro kamanyakan lang sabihin sa 'kin ng tukmol na 'yon.

Pinapaikot-ikot ko sa isang kamay ang cellphone habang nakatitig sa mga dumadaan sa hallway, nag-iisip... habang kinakagat ang dulo ng isang thumb finger.

Nasa tambayan ako, sa may bench sa lilim ng punong mangga. Katatapos lang ng klase. Hinihintay si Paris. Kasama niya raw si Hazel. Sabi niya kausapin ko raw.

Okay.

Huminga ako nang malalim at nagtipa sa cellphone. Mas kinakabahan pa yata ako ngayon kaysa sa tuwing naglalaro ng championship sa basketball. Mas inaalala ko ang magiging reaksiyon ni AB kaysa sa reaction ni coach kung titira ako sa labas o magpepenetrate sa loob.

This time, I'm so anxious to make a move. Pakiramdam ko kahit ano'ng gawin ko, mafofoul ako.
