"Ayan oh, may vulcanizing shop sa gilid ng kalsada." Blakely pointed at the small shop.

I nodded and stop the car, right in front of the shop. Naunang bumaba si Blakely, Nicole at Eleonor sa kotse at saka ako sumunod.

"Hello. We just need air. I mean, Kade! Ikaw nga dito." I heard Nicole said.

The girl in maong pants and oversized shirt, messy bun hair, approach us.

"Papahanginan lang ng kaunti ang sa harap na gulong. Medyo flat ng kaunti pero hindi naman siya butas." I said.

She nodded and do her job. A girl in a motorshop huh? Cool. She looks like a boy though, judging by her clothes. Pero magiging babae rin ang pananaw mo pagkakita sa mukha. Angelic face.

Umalis kami kaagad at kumain sa restau ni mama. It's so fucking init here in Philippines. But I like it here.

"Bakla! Labas ka diyan may gwapong lumabas galing kweba! Apat sila baks! Bilis na." The guy said and kicked the foot of her friend.

My 3 idiots friends laugh while still looking down there. The 'baks' under the car. After a long minutes, the 'baks' got out and because of the guy friend's pressuring voice, 'baks' forehead hit the long metal of the car.

Ow, that hurts. And it's the girl who approach us yesterday. My friends and her friends laugh while looking at her. I just smirked. The red on her forehead was now visible.

"Di maka get over mga teh? Gusto niyo rewind? Ano rewind naten." Her soft voice said sarcastically.

Tsk, clumsy.

My friends introduce themselves to them. As well as them. I just simply said my name and told her to take care next time and I walked away. Her eyes are burning me.

Weeks past and everything was fucking boring. Not until I was fond of Cassie. The clumsy girl. She was hit again by a door in my mom's restaurant. Tsk.

We're not talking. I'm cold to her, well I'm always like this. Her friends and I are now friends. Yeah, get it? But the table was turned. We're now friends. We were fetching them from their summer job to their house. We are doing that months ago. And before I am flying to New Jersey, I asked her if I can court her.

She said yes and I'm happy. We where ldr. Miles, miles away. I was in my 4th year college, busy studying in the library of Princeton University, where I am studying rn.

"Dude, stop fucking studying in this library. Just chill. Just like me, not studying but still, my grades are not failing." Blakely sat beside me.

I glared at him. "Stop bothering me Blake, do what you want. Don't brag me that little shit of yours."

He raised his two hands above. "Woah, chill Lennox. Just keep calm and continue sleeping-- ah, ay what I mean is continue studying."

I rolled my eyes at him. He just laughed and the in-charge of the library 'shh' him, together with some students who's studying. He go back the last cabinet of the library where no one can see him, and sleep. Tsk.

I was fucking hungry when I started walking to my dorm in our school. The yellow and red leaves of the trees are now starting to fall. It's Autumn. I type my password and get in. I was busy cooking when my cellphone, ring.

Without looking at the screen, I answered. "What?" I said with a bit irritated.

"Ay, naistorbo ba kita? Sorryyy. Tatawag nalang ako mamaya. Sorry talagaa." I immediately calm down and sighed after hearing her voice.

"No, it's okay. I'm sorry for that attitude, I'm just stress. But I'm okay." I'm trying to be okay.

"Studies? Ayos lang yan, malalagpasan mo rin yan. Laban lungss." He motivated me. "Ay, nga pala, kumain ka na?"
