A request from my Childhood Friend: Let's play strangers.
Nicholas Tuazon dreamed to be a popular boy at high school. But he thought if his childhood friend is around him he might not get the opportunity. So he asked Stephannie Santiago they will ac...
I try to get sleep while Steph's head is on my shoulders. So I put my head over her head. If someone sees us they'll think that we are on a relationship. But that's only a dream.
I mean a nightmare.
Para hindi ma low-bat yung phone ko di n ako ng phone. And I got a perfect idea. I took out Steph's phone from her bag and open her messenger. And as I predict she didn't put any passcode.
There is an unseen message. It is from her classmate a boy classmate.

Hi Stephannie, are you free tomorrow? We have important to discuss.
What? Is Steph secretly dating with someone? No, no. I know Steph. But who is this? I tried to look over their older conversation. This is what I found.

1 week? I'm busy with my Club. He said,
Hey, we have a great time earlier right?
This is Steph response.
Talk about it! You're so great!
My brows knitted. So they really going out secretly?! I look for older messages but Steph seems delete it.
I touch my head. What did that man did to my Steph?!
"Malapit na po tayo," sabi nung driver. Dahil dun binalik ko na yung phone niya. Will Steph see him tomorrow? Oh, man. Kaya ba ganun nalang maging careless si Steph dahil sa kaniya?
Ughh... Who's that man?
Steph slowly get up her head away from my shoulder. She seems surprised. She asked what I'm doing here. When I didn't response she rolled her eyes.
While our parents are awake now and using their phones.
We passed by many stores of Calasiao others are closed but most of the stores are open. For the people who don't know what Calsiao is bite-sized rice cakes or puto. Maybe I'll buy later for Steph or whoever.
We enter the gate and see the Calasiao Church.

Kuya dropped us off and he parked the car.
My gaze went to Steph. She fixes her clothes while she amazingly looks to the Church.

After the event, with Erique's family, we went to the nearest restaurant. It's called "Lutong Pangasinense". I look at the menu, I'm about to sy what I liked but Steph talked first.
"Ma, the dinaing na bangus, Sinigang na bangus, 1 ½ rice and halo-halo please."
What happened to Steph? I tried suppressed my laughter but I can't. May galit ba siya sa bangus? Parang buntis siya kung mag-order. Haha Haha. Everybody look at me. I looked at Steph and she has now crossed arms with her eyes rolling again.
"Hehe hehe. Sorry I just remember something funny," then they are back ordering foods.
"What do you like to eat Nich?"
Oh I forgot what I did choose. I once again look at the menu at sa sobrang dami nalito na ako. I blurted, "Just same nalang with Steph."
After we eat, they tour us around Pangasinan. The Santiago's family car arrived so we got home in separate cars.
The sun is already set when we reach our house. It's pretty tiring.
"I'm going to my room now." I said to them. I yawn and stretch my arms walking toward the stairs, I halted in my first step when mom called me.
"Do you already have plans for your birthday?"
Oh yeah, I didn't yet think about that.
Steph's POV
We just went home. I look at my home. It's like it's been a while since I got here because of lots of trips.
"Steph go to your room now." my mom said angrily. Oh yeah, we got on separate cars and something happened then. I heard Dad and Mom discussing something. They both look so serious. I go to my room before I get on their way.
My mom got a call from I don't who. After she finished, she really looks pissed and Dad look worried. And that's how.
I change to pajamas and light shirt then jump into my bed. I get my phone from my bag and check my messenger. Oh! One unseen message from...
