"Where is he going?" Kunot-noong tanong ko.

I heard Steve's laugh before we got out of his car. I was sorta struggling while running towards Theo because I had a milktea and a paper bag with both of my hands, and a bag on my shoulder. Steve got the rest of the foods so he was unable to help me.

"Theo!" I called him. Hindi niya yata ako narinig so I had to call him again. "Theoooo!"

He halted from walking and slowly turned to me. He looked shocked and amused at the same time. Tumakbo ako hanggang sa makarating sa harap niya. I was panting heavily. Gosh, ba't ba kasi ang bingi niya.

"Jeez," I whispered. I let out a heavy sigh.

I glared at him when he chuckles first before caressing my back. Sakto naman na umayos na ang paghinga ko at pagdating ni Steve. Steve leaned towards him, smirking and whispered something.

"Prick," inis na sabi ni Theo and slightly pushed Steve away.

Steve laughed his ass off bago muling lumapit at bumulong ulit sa kaniya. The latter nodded.

I handed Theo the paper bag. Kinuha niya agad yon at sinilip ang loob bago tumingin sa suot ko.

"You love revealing skin, aren't you?"

I pouted and looked down on my outfit. Wala namang masama, ah? Saka dati ay hindi naman niya pinapansin ang suot ko. I even wore a skirt nung blind date but he didn't give any comments.

"I'm wearing jacket naman," I touched my jacket and smiled.

He looked back at me and his lips twitched a little. "Yeah, right. Wearing a jacket with buttons still open?"

"Ang init kaya," I reasoned out.

"Ber months na," he remarked.

I pursed my lips together. "Oo, malamig pero outfit kaya to. Ganda, di ba?"

"Yeah, whatever," he rolled his eyes at me.

My lips parted. I looked at him in disbelief. Anong nangyari dito? Na-possessed ba ng maarteng kaluluwa? Omg.

"Anyare sayo? Ang sungit mo," I laughed. "Daig mo pa babaeng may mens."

Steve handed us our foods before sitting on the bench. I found out that the foods we just bought is Yew Chicken Hainanese and Confucius' Adobo Chino. Too much na naman. Ang daming pagkain.

"Don't get offended by what the vendor have said," biglang sabi ni Theo.

Napansin ko na hindi siya kumakain. Si Steve lang yung ganadong kumain habang ako ay patikim-tikim lang.

"That's not what he meant by that," he added.

I looked at Steve and he only shrugged at me. Ito ba yung pinagbubulungan nila kanina?

"Yeah, yeah," I smiled a little.

"You'll find out the meaning behind if ever you get used to this place," said Steve.

Tumango na lang ako. I stared at the main library in front of us and was amazed by it. So this is how it feels to laid your eyes on something you could only see in the pictures.

"Gulat ka, no?" I playfully smirked at Theo.

"Sabi ko kukunin ko na lang sayo. Ang kulit mo," umirap na naman siya.

Yung totoo, may ginawa ba akong kasalanan sa kaniya at galit na galit siya sa akin?

"May pinuntahan din kasi ako kanina," sabi ko, remembering my unit. Nakaka-excite talaga! "Di ba, dito na ako next level? So I get a place to stay near here."
