Days passed so fast. Natapos na ang end term exams. I also decided na bumalik na ng Manila at doon mag-enroll bago matapos ang semestral break. Nagkaroon ng maliit na party kanina para sa pagtatapos ng term at nakasurvive kaming lahat.
The celebration was also a despidida party for me. Lahat sila nasapak ako dahil hindi raw ako nagsasabi. Natawa lang naman ako sa reaksyon nila then telling them that I'm not going abroad and that their reactions are all exaggerated.
"Sure you want this, ate?" Mikko asked me as Dad drove.
I rolled my eyes. "Why am I here if I don't want to?"
"I don't know." He mumbled. "Last time we visited, you seemed hesitant." Then he sighed.
Of course I hesitated. Because there was something to be hesitant for.
"Where do you plan on enrolling, baby?" Dad asked.
"I'd like to try UST, Dad."
"Good choice." Mom commented. I smiled. "When are you planning to enrol?"
"On wednesday, probably."

The next day, I planned on meeting with Kylie and Korina. We haven't texted and chatted much when I was in Bicol.
"Mikki Giselle Maghirang Dela Rosa?!" Halos magkasabay ko silang narinig. Lumingon ako ng nakangisi at nakita kong ganon din ang reaksyon nila.
"O to the m to the g! You look gorgeous on tan!" Korina shouted not minding the people staring at us. Patakbo siyang lumapit at niyakap agad ako.
"Gosh!! You look stunning!!!" Kylie shouted excitedly.
"Missed you too guys!" Sagot ko na lang sakanila.
Naupo sila sa tapat ko at agad akong pinagkwento. Syempre, not used to hiding something from them, I told them everything.
"Omygosh. That was really exciting!" Komento ni Kylie. "I wish we were there."
"Crazy." Nakangising sabi ko.
"Yuh, sana nandon kami." Naiiling na sabi ni Korina. Maya maya ay biglang sumeryoso ang tingin niya. "But, sigurado kang wala kang gagawin?"
Sabay kaming napatingin ni Kylie sakanya. "What do you mean?" Tanong ko.
"I mean, you like him, right?" I bit my lip then nodded. "Then why don 't you do something?"
