Sorry talaga for the late updates guys. School just started, so phone time is limited. Plus, I've been having problems with Wattpad. Magbbreak na ata kami. Pero, at least I updated. Here it is. Read on, Jewels.

Alam ko. Who the heck falls on sight? Ano to? Crush at First Sight? I mean, ang daming lalaki doon. Bakit siya pa?

Okay. Baka hindi naman crush, like as in CRUSH. I mean, just because I can't look him in the eyes and I feel butterflies doesn't mean that I'm crushing on him right?

Right?

Well, it's okay. Huwag mo nalang siya pansinin. Hindi mo naman kilala ang tao. Mamaya, axe murderer pala siya.

"Okay guys! Hali na kayo dito sa commons area!" Sabi ni tita Mary.

"Okay. So bago ang lahat, alam kong bored na kayo, so maglaro muna tayo. We're gonna play a game called 7 Up. Hindi yung soda ha? Okay so, mechanics: Magbilang lang ng 1-7. Tapos, with every number, may ituturong direction ang kamay. Like this *demonstrates with hand over chest* which shows the next person. Pag 7, kailangan over the head. Gets? Okay. We'll demonstrate muna."

Tumayo si tita Mary at yung ibang mga adults. Tinuruan nila kami kung paano maglaro ng 7 Up. Nalaro ko na ito noon, so wala akong problema.

"Pag may nagkamali, kailangan niyang pumunta sa gitna ng circle, and he/she has to write his name gamit ang puwet niya. Okay?"

Mygadd.. The stakes are high. Ayaw kong gawin yun 😨 Nakakahiya, especially kay Mr. Singkit.

Yes, that's what I call him na. Mr. Singkit. Mala Chinese ang mata eh. Mas matangkad siya sa akin by a few inches, and from what I see, he's the only good-looking single one. All the other boys look taken.

Wait. Len. Bat mo siya iniisip? Back to reality. Don't embarass yourself in front of everyone.

Once the game started, I became careful with my every move. Salamat sa Diyos at hindi ako nagkamali. Along the line, Mr. Singkit nade a mistake.

"Ahahaha! Si Anthony, natalo! Bilisan mo na Anthony! Anthony! Anthony!"

Everyone started cheering for Mr. Singkit... ahh este, Anthony pala.

He made a show of exaggerating his movements so, lahat kami napatawa, kahit ako.

In the end, ako ang nanalo sa game! Since ako lang ang hindi nila kilala, Tita Mary asked me to introduce myself.

"Hello po. My name is Alena Villar, and I am 15 years old. I am from Cebu city, but raised here in Manila."

"Thank you, Len. Okay so, with everyone energized, let us start with our very first activity."

As the day went on, we were sorted into groups. And just my luck, kagrupo ko si Mr. Singkit... ahh Anthony pala 😅

"Hi. Ako nga pala si Anthony. Len, diba?" Sabi niya.

"Ahh.. Ehhh... Ihh.." sabi ko. Ano ka ba Len? Bat ka nagkakaganyan?

"Ohh.. Uhh?" Sabi niya tas bigla siya tumawa. Then he nudged me.

"Uhhm sorry. Yeah, ako nga pala si Len." Get yourself together Len.

"Ang seryoso mo. Ngiti ka nga?" Sabi niya.

Little by little, ngumiti rin ako.

"Oh ayan, diba? Mas maganda ka na ngayon. Diba ang sabi, pag nakasimangot, pumapanget? Sayang ang ganda mo." Sabi niya.
