My eyes landed on her when Blake pointed the group of girls to me.
"Crush ko 'yan babae sa unahan," siniko niya ako at pasimpleng tinuro ang apat na babae sa pinakaunahan na hindi rin naman nakikinig at nag-uusap lang habang orientation. He specifically pointed to a short-haired girl with tan skin.
"Dati ko pa nakikita sa Instagram, e," he continued. "Ligawan ko na kaya?"
"Bahala ka," I shrugged. I was getting bored because of this school orientation. Wala naman nakikinig sa mga ganito, so why bother?
This other girl looked behind her and smiled politely to the girls at her back. She had long silky black hair, fair skin, dark colored almond eyes, pointed nose, blushed cheeks, and small lips. Her aura seemed approachable and pleasant, judging by how she smiled earlier.
I looked at her face longer than I should have and noticed her yes. You'd think her eyes with beaming with happiness, but those deep set of eyes looked miserable.
"'Di ko alam pangalan niyan, e. Tanong ko?" Blake teased on my side, making me divert my gaze somewhere else.
"Crush mo, pre? Galing naman ng mata mo makapili," tanong pa ni Jett sa gilid ko na hindi ko nalang pinansin. I literally took one glance!
When school officially started, Blake made her move on the girl while I kept seeing her as well. I'd stumble upon her on the cafeteria with her friends, in the library, always carrying a book or two with her, in the hallways, everywhere. I would see her so often that I already memorized her entire face.
One thing didn't change, though. Her eyes. They always look like they want to tell more.
"Kiel Ian," I smirked at her when I noticed her checking on me earlier. Finally, you looked my way. May magandang naidulot naman pala ang pagsagot ni Tal kay Blake.
I don't know what's about her that's so intriguing. Maybe it's her eyes. Maybe I just want to get to know her more.
"K-Kiarah Nicole." She stuttered, avoiding her gaze on me.
She looked breathtaking up close. Her fitted dress suited her perfectly with her light makeup and curls.
When she started getting drunk and all the others were busy, I knew I had to help her.
"I'll book you a grab, tara na," alok ko sa kaniya.
Bago pa man siya sumakay ay lumapit siya sa akin at walang pasabi-sabing hinalikan ang labi ko.
Shit. Shit. She's drunk!
"Stop," I muttered, hindi maalis ang tingin niya sa labi niya na ngayon ay nakasimangot pa.
When I asked for her address, I didn't expect her notes to be this...bothering.

Wala sa sariling naikuyom ko ang kamao dahil sa mga pinagsusulat niya. Is she okay? What's happening to her?
Napakarami pang notes na nagsimula noong last year pa bago ko nakuha ang address niya. But her notes lingered on my mind. I couldn't get them off.
Maybe that's when I started wanting to get to know her more. So I'd know what's hurting her.
