"Yah!!"

Nasa training ng Martial Arts si Belle after class. Hindi niya alam somewhere around the practice area, someone is staring at her intently, which was David.

"Dave!! Ano ba kanina pa kita kinakausap helloooo??"

"Sharmaine ano ba yun?? Kelan ka ba mananahimik naririndi na yung tenga ko sayo"

"Mula pagkabata naten ganto na ko hello? Ngayon ka lang narindi?"

"Kaya nga rindido na ko Sha. Pwede kahit 5 minutes lang??"

"Sa tingin mo... pwedeng maging tayo?"

"Ha?"

"Alam mo na? Relationship. Boyfriend girlfriend ganun?"

"Nagpapatawa ka ba Sharmaine? Para na kong kuya sayo umayos ka nga hahaha"

"But-"

Sharmaine was cut off when Anne Lu appeared in front of them, blocking David's view of Belle, practicing

"Baby!!! For you!!"

"Anne... not again."

"Gusto ko lang naman ibigay to. Bawal ba?"

"Araw araw na lang Anne? Tama na. Okay? "

"But I want to!"

"Girl. Stop okay? Di ka gusto ng bestfriend ko hahaha"

"Bakit kayo ba?"

"No?" David

"Soon" Sharmaine

"Stop talking nonsense Sha. Hay nako" David sabay gulo ng buhok ni Sharmaine

"Sige na dyan na kayong dalawa aalis na ko" pagpapatuloy nito

"Hey! Iiwan mo na lang ako dito? Anong klaseng bestfriend ka?"

"Kaya mo na yan! Bye Sha!"

He started walking not looking straight into his way kaya may nakabangga siya

"Sorry I-"

Natigilan siya. This girl was the one he's been staring at kanina pa.

"Next time look where you're going mr."

"Sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you."

"It's fine no worries" she smiled at him

Those smiles... he felt his heartbeat and he can tell... right at that moment. It was different.

"Hey? You okay?"

"O-ohh sorry. Uhm. David. My name's David"

"Belle. Nice to meet you. Sige mauna na ko. Watch where you're going okay?"

"O-okay. Take care!"

Sa isip isip niya para siyang tanga. Para san yung take care?! Close ba sila?!

Starting that day... he always made sure to watch her practice. Hindi niya alam noong una bakit niya ginagawa ang bagay na to but then, when he saw her with another guy. Nalaman niya ang rason.

Mukhang nahulog na siya dito

Nag-uusap naman sila. They became close actually.

"David!! Nanood ka?"
