Maaga akong nagising ngayon. Siguro dahil extra special itong araw na ito for me. Of course! It's my birthday! Pero I don't think alam nila since no one greet me this morning.
"Morning! What's with the buzz?" I asked Jia and Mich.
"Morning, ate! Wala naman. Wala lang kami sa mood magsigawan." Said Jia.
"I have a sore throat din kasi, Ate Den."
"Yan kasi e. Gabi na kasi nag chichikahan pa kayo. I heard you last night and I thought you were watching movie kasi puro kayo sigaw."
"Hay nako! Nag babasa lang yang si Mich last night, Ate Den. Kilig na kilig doon sa pocket book na nabili nya."
"Kayo talaga. Anyway, I got to go. I have to meet my groupmates pa for our project e. See you at the practice."
I didn't see anybody from my team mates aside from Jia and Mich. I assumed they are all busy din since kailangan na nila mag pass ng mga papers nila before the season starts.
Nang makarating ako sa classroom ko lumapit kaagad ako sa groupmates ko to check kung ano na yung nasimulan nila. Pero hindi pa ako nakakapag salita nung kantahan nila ako ng happy birthday.
"Thank you, guys! Kala ko hindi nyo maaalala e."
"Of course maaalala namin, binati ka na ng karamihansa twitter e."
"Kainis naman to si John e. Nag dadrama na ko e." Sabi ko nanatatawa.
*phone ringing*
"Hello? LA, napatawag ka?"
Happy birthday, Dennise! I believe I deserve a lunch date. So, see you at Up Town. Bye!
"Wait! Hello! Shit! Binaba na kagad. Balak ko sana yayain si Ly e." napaisip ako saglit. "Kung sabagay, hindi naman nila alam pa e tapos lunch din naman yung invitation ni LA."

Aly's POV
"Okay na ba tayo for tonight, Ate Ly? Nakapasok na si Ate Den. Kausap namin sya kanina sa lobby."
"Okay na to, Mich. Besides, mas okay naman yung simple diba? Tayo din naman yung kakain nung mga foods e." I giggled.
"Oh, pano? Edi hindi ka na muna aattend ng training? Pano sasabihin namin kay Coach Tai?"
"Si Bea na bahala doon. Thanks, Jia!"
Ly prepared all the things they needed for the party that they have planned 2 weeks ago. Yun naman kasi yung dahilan kaya minsan wala syang time for Dennise e. On purpose din yung pag popost nya ng ramdom stories sa Instagram nya to let Den think na may kasama syang iba.
She attended her first 2 classes before she proceeded to the roof top. Nandoon na yung iba nyang friends at nag start nadin mag-ayos.
"Guys, have you seen Den? Parang hindi ko sya nakita sa building kanina e." Ly asked.
"Baka busy, sabi nya kasi kanina aayusin nila yung group project nila e."
"Ahh. I see. Sinong aattend ng training?"
"Me!" they said in unison.
"Okay. So, ako nalang mag pick-up ng mga foods later. Matatapos nadin naman tayo ditto sa place e."
Almost 5 pm na at ready na lahat ng surprise ni Alyssa. Hindi nadin sya makapag hintay to ask Den to be her girl for real.
She took her phone and scrolled to her twitter. Everyone is greeting Dennise a happy birthday, but one photo took her attention. Dennise and LA Revilla in a coffee shop 4 hours ago.
