Macy and her friends invited Zach over pero Zach declined. He firmly said na makikipag-break up na daw siya. Ngunit hindi pumayag si Macy at kinulit si Zach.

"Babe, please" she sad. Urgh! Nakakainis siya. Kung pwede ko lang sanang i-laser ang mga kamay niyang nakapalipot sa braso ni Zach ay talagang ginawa ko na.

I saw her smirk at me. Talagang nahalata ako ng babaeng 'to na may gusto ako kay Zach.

I smirk back "Zach let's go. May music class pa ako" sabi ko at pinalupot ang aking kamay sa kabila niyang braso.

I saw how Zach remove Macy's arms around his. Inihatid niya ako papunta sa music class ko.

"Good Luck" he said with a smile. I tried my best to avoid my face from blushing lalo na't hindi ko pa naman makikita ang sarili kong mukha.

"Thanks" sabi ko at tumalikod na siya at nagsimulang umalis. "And Zach, No Fights" pahabol kong sabi

"Yes boss" he said and raise his right arm. I smile

I went inside the music room but a sound captivated me. Ang sarap sa taenga ang tunog ng violin. Parang professional ang musician.

Parang may sariling pag-iisip ang aking mga paa at nakaladkad ako kung saan nanggaling ang tunog. As I draw nearer, the music gets louder.

May nakita akong imahe ng isang lalaki sa stage na nagpatugtug ng violin. I never see him in this school. Mukhang new student ata.

Lumapit ako sa stage para mas maigihan ang pakikinig when he notice my presence. He glance at me. Ang gwapo niya! Pero bakit kapag nakakita ako ng gwapo ay parang wala ng hihigit pa kay Zach. Haayst!

The music finally went to an end. I clap my hands "Wow! That was epic and beautiful" I said with a smile

He smiled back "Thank You" he said

"Are you a new student?" I ask

"Yes" he said. Inayos niya ang kanyang violin at lumapit ako sa tabi niya.

"Uhmm.. can we play a music together? Ang galing mo kasing magpatugtug ng violin. And don't worry, I know how to play piano" I said

He stop for a moment "Okay" he said

*insert Thousand Years music*

Ng matapos kaming magpatugtug, he said "Wow! You're pretty good yourself. I'm Troy" sabi niya

"I'm Paige. Yung nasa libro. Gaya ng, turn your books in page 32." I joked pero hindi siya natawa. Kulang nalang ata ang insert crickets sound effect

I rolled my eyes "Okay I get it. It's corny" I said at tumayo

"Pfft!"

Napatingin ako sa kanya. His holding his laughter by covering his mouth using his clench hands.

"Corny yun kaya huwag ka nang umaktong natatawa" sabi ko

"You're right but I'm not laughing because of the joke. But instead, I find you very amusing." He said and painted a sweet smile

"It's really nice meeting you. I hope to see you again some time" he said and delivered his right hand. Nakipag-hand shake naman ako.

I was shocked when he pulled me into a hug. "Please, just for a moment" he said

Hindi naman ako umapila dahil na rin siguro sa sobrang gulat kaya parang na brain freeze ang system ko.

"Aheerm!" A loud voice echoed around the hall.

Napatingin ako kung sino yun ang it's Zach. Padabog siyang lumapit sa amin and grab me. Namudmud ako sa chest niya. Ang bango niya talaga >_<

"Are you planning to hug her like forever?" Zach ask sarcastically

"No. But I'm not planning to let go of her eternally" Troy said with a serious face and tone of voice.

Why is the tension around the atmosphere is getting heavier?

Nagkasukatan sila ng tingin but Zach's glares are deadly. "Zach" sabi ko

He turn his glance on me "Let's go Paige and don't ever talk to him again" seryoso niyang sabi.

Mahigpit niyang hinawakan ang aking wrist at hinila papunta sa Parking Lot. "Zach?" Tanong ko

He look at me "Bakit?" Tanong niya

"Galit ka ba?" Tanong ko

"Hindi" sabi niya. I felt a little disappointed.

Nanahimik nalang ako. We went our way to our house but we pass by Jollibee.

"Zach, itigil mo ang kotse! Drive thru tayo, dali!" Sigaw ko at tumalon-talon sa upuan sabay palo sa kanya

He tsk pero inikot naman ang manebela. We ordered a lot of foods. Kahit hindi niya aminin ay addict rin naman siya kay Jollibee.

Nung mga bata pa kasi kami ay may sandamakmak na stuff toys siya kay Jollibee. I still used to remember nagalit siya sa'kin kasi nawala ko yung sungay ni Jollibee. Haha!

"Anong ngini-ngiti mo diyan?" Tanong niya

"Wala naman. Naalala ko lang yung nawala ko yung antenna ng Jollibee stuff toy mo nuon" natatawa kong sabi

He groaned. "Paige, just stop" he begged. Lalo akong natawa. Well, I used to tease him bubuyog dahil duon at I accidentally tease him that at school kaya binu-bully siya dahil dun. Hahaha! Galit na galit pa nga siya sa'kin nun.

"Zach, magpa-music tayo" sabi ko

He nodded so I started to search for a high pitched songs on my iTunes.

Aha! Etong Titanium.

"You shoot me down... and I won't fall. I am ti-ta-nium" malakas kong pagkanta na sinabayan niya kaya ang ingay namin sa loob ng kotse.

Ginamit kong parang microphone ang coke float and he use a piece of the french fries to use as a microphone.

"Paige, subuan mo nga ako ng fries. Ang hirap magmaneho kasi" sabi niya habang focus sa daan

"H-huh?" Nau-utal kong tanong. Naramdaman ko naman ang pamumula ng aking mga pisnge at ang mabilis na pagtibok ng aking puso
