"I can't believe Sierra would show up on our graduation." Hannah said as we got in the car on the way for dinner.
I raised a brow at her, "What do you know ba?" frowning as I settled next to her.
"Few days ago, I was at the mall and then we saw each other."
"And why didn't you tell me about it?" I knitted my brow.
"Why would I tell you?" she chuckles, folding her arms together.
"Because why not?"
"Give me a reason then."
"Because she's my friend?"
"You're just a friend then."
"Shut up."
"You're road." Hannah said seriously, then we started laughing including Benj.
"But really, why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought you didn't care about her na."
"Not that I didn't care." I responded, "But, you already know that we've been close before."
"Sorry," she pats my shoulder then resting her head on it, I love my sister. Sounds cheesy but it's true.
"It's okay."
"To make it up, I'm not joining you to watch Guns N' Roses concert tom-"
"What?!"
"You heard me," she said. "Invite her, so you guys can hang-out like what you said earlier."
"Hannah, what did I tell about eavesdrop?"
"Like you've never done it."
"Hey, I was just protecting you from the manliligaw."
"Wow ha, you think I have manliligaw when you keep bugging me." she chuckles pathetically.
"Stop that," mom hisses, "It's your graduation, Hannah Kathleen. We don't want to postpone our dinner because of it."
We shut our mouths up because we don't want to postpone japanese dinner today. Hannah nudges my side as we got out from the car, on our way to the mall.
"Text her already, before I change my mind."
"Fine." I muttered. I take my phone out from my pocket, searching for her name in the contacts and started typing.

extra ticket left, you wanna
come with me?
Yeah, sure. :)

"Looks like, it's a date." a female voice butted in which made me jump.
"No, it's not." I groan, "It's all because of you."
"Whatever you say, kuys." she chuckled, "Thank me later."
I growled. I don't know if what I did is right because 1. I still kind of like her, secretly. 2. I want to move on because it's been two freakin' years and 3. maybe she already have someone special back in Massachusetts.
Half of me is excited, yet half of me is nervous. I just hope I won't screw up tomorrow. Honestly, I miss hanging out with her and this concert might help us connect again. So, I hope it goes well.

Time flew so fast without noticing it, it was already night. I got myself ready for the concert, I found out that Donny and I are attending to Guns N' Roses concert. I've heard this band because mom likes to listen to them, which is something that I'm not worried about. Their songs are lit.
I wore a white baggy shirt that says 'A Song For Jane' and high-waisted denim shorts. A pair of black high top Converse and I just comb my wavy hair. I don't know how it happened, but when I was in Massachusetts, my hair went from straight to wavy. It's weird. I'm not complaining about it though, but it's just weird.
I texted Donny our new address since we moved to Tito Ricky's house. I put a little bit of make up just to look a little presentable. Hello, Donny Pangilinan ang makakasama ko. Syempre paghahadaan ko hahaha. After I got ready, my phone goes off.

I jogged on the way down seeing Mom with her apron on.
"Saan lakad mo?" she sharply asked, "Nako, sinasabi ko. Umiinom ka siguro 'dun kay-"
"Ma, si Donny po kasama ko."
Her eyes brighten as I mentioned his name, I knew it. "Mabuti kung ganun, saan punta niyo?"
"Concert po."
"Mag-ingat kayo ha, sabihan mo siya na dahan-dahan sa pagmamaneho-"
"Ma," I sweetly called her while she keeps talking, "I love you."
"I love you too, nak." She hugs me tight then finally we bud good-byes.
I quickly went to his black Fortuner 2017 car which is parked in our driveway. I smiled as I saw him sitting in the driver's seat then I take the shotgun. I blushed a little seeing him wearing white, swear we never talked about it. I'm expecting him to wear black since it's his favorite.
"Hindi ka naman nagsabi na ang bigtime mo na pala," he said sarcastically.
I chuckled, "Bahay ni Tito Ricky 'to."
"Tito Ricky?" he knitted his brows.
"Oh, yung asawa ni Mama."
He smiled then he started the engine, driving off from our driveway. He stayed quiet for a minute I guess.
"Marami palang naganap nung hindi tayo nakapag-usap." he chuckles. I can feel longing and hurt in the tone of his voice.
"Um, oo nga 'eh." I fixed my hair a little, something that I started doing when I get nervous. "Ikaw nga, bigtime mo na. Dami mong fans."
"Di naman." he humbly say which made me laugh a little.
We talked about things like what people talk about when they catch up to each other. I guess this is a good start of the night and I hope it lasts...
