I woke up at the sound of my phone ringing. I couldn't make up what the caller ID displays dahil half-closed pa ang mga mata ko sa antok. But most importantly...
WHO THE HELL WOULD CALL ME AT SUCH AN HOUR?! Obviously didn't receive the memo that I slept at 4 freakin' AM.
My hands fumbled at the annoying sound of my ringtone. Should probably change it later. Hindi ko pa nasagot ang tawag ay tumigil na ito sa pag-ring. Kasunod naman nito ay ang notification sound hudyat na may bagong message. I didn't even bother to check and immediately pressed a button to return the call. Pikit-mata kong hinintay na sagutin ang tawag ko.
"Hello?" It was a low voice. My brows furrowed.
"Sino 'to?"
"Future mo." I heard a faint chuckle on the other end. Napairap ako nang marealize kung sino lang ang may talent mambi-bwesit sa'kin ng ganito.
"Ulol mo Drex,"
Napahikab ako sabay kusot ng mata. Mahapdi ang mga mata ko dahil ilang oras palang ang tulog ko tapos binulabog pa ng isang 'to.
"Woah good morning to you too," tumigil siya saglit at mahinang tumawa. "Ikaw nga 'tong bigla-bigla nalang tumatawag eh. Miss mo na 'ko?"
Napairap ulit ako and let out an annoyed sigh dahilan para mas matawa siya. I ended the call and double checked my call history. My eyes widened when I saw JD's name registered in missed calls. Shoot. Hindi nga pala kami nag-usap pagkatapos nung sinabi niya. I checked to see if he left me any message pero wala. I called his number but he didn't answer. I did it thrice. Ring lang ng ring. Is he avoiding me? If so, then why would he call me in the first place? or did he call me on accident?
My phone beeped once again. Drex texted.

Kain kana breakast tutal gising ka na naman. Sleep ka nalang ulit pagkatapos.
Umiinit talaga ang ulo ko lalo na't ginigising ako ng hindi sakto ang tulog. But his text somehow made me smile. Ang simple lang but at least he cares. Buti pa ang isang 'to. Si JD kaya? I wonder how he's doing.

Yep. You too.
Nagstretch muna ako ng konte bago lumabas at umupo sa hapag-kainan. Naabutan kong kumakain sina Mama kaya sumabay na ako. I had milk bago kumain ng breakfast. Nang matapos ay nagtoothbrush muna ako tapos bumalik na sa kwarto. My phone displayed 5 unread messages.

Hoy natuto kana ah *laughing emoji*
She's probably referring sa Group Message na sinend ko kanina. We're bestfriends but madalas lang kaming mag-usap sa text. I replied with 3 laughing emojis and then checked the other 4 messages hoping I'd see JD's name. But it was all from Drex.
