"Revianchi?" Dad surprisingly asked. Naabutan namin siyang papaakyat na sa taas. Kakadating niya lang din siguro galing trabaho.

I kissed him in his cheek. "Si mommy po?" I asked him. Mukhang good mood ngayon si daddy.

Dad tapped my back. "Upstairs." I just nodded.

"Good evening, sir." Lisle greeted politely. Look what we have here, a great pretender. I smirked at him. Pinanlakihan niya ako ng mata.

Lisle dropped me off today kasi usapan nga namin ipagpapaalam niya ko. Ang swerte ni kuya Diego wala siyang sinundo. Dapat doon hindi pinapasweldo. Just kidding. I laughed at that thought.

Dad sat on the sofa and gestured Lisle to sit down as well. "So, what brings you here, Xenver?" Dad asked, amused.

Lisle licked his lips before clearing his throat. "I came here to ask for permission, po." I sat on a single sofa and listened to their conversation.

Dad then shifted on his seat, probably bothered with what Lisle has said. "At para saan?" Dad raised one of his eyebrows. "If you're going to court Wrailette, I'm sorry I have to say no." Dad said in a hard tone.

Agad na nanlaki ang mata ni Lisle. "That's not what I was asking permission for, po." He looked at me. I raised one of my eyebrows at him. "I just want to invite her somewhere." Lisle then glanced at me.

Tinitigan nang maigi ni daddy si Lisle. "Somewhere? Be specific here, boy."

"Can I talk to you in private, sir?" Then Lisle looked at me as if he wanted me to leave. Alright, fine. Ayaw talaga ipaalam, surprise nga daw kasi. Mama mo surprise.

I went up to my room. I changed into a black cotton not-so-short shorts and a plain white v-neck shirt.

I went to my intercom and asked for a snack. Magdidinner naman na pero kausap pa ni daddy si Lisle so baka mamaya pa 'yon. I guess I'll do my assignments first?

I was busy putting out the things in my bag when Nang Celia peeked through my door.

"Allana, andito na yung ham sandwich mo." Nang Celia said as she gave me the tray.

As I ate my sandwich, my mind wandered.

"ACB really asked you out? Baka you're just day dreaming?" Ari teased me as I sat down beside her.

Kadarating ko lang sasagap na naman ito ng chismis. Like what happens most of the time, late din yung prof so I guess I can chitchat a little.

"You think I'm like you?" I asked her sarcastically.

She softly glared at me. "Whatever. How did he asked you out?"

"Well, he didn't exactly ask me out, he just invited me somewhere." So I continued telling her the things that happened after the invitation.

Pumangalumbaba siya at tumingin sa akin. "What if... Lisle likes you?" She asked seriously.

"Edi gusto niya. It's not like I'd like him back. He's a pain in the ass. I don't need another reason to cry. I already have alot with me. Kung gusto mo sayo na yung iba." Suhestyon ko.

"I don't need your problemas. I have mine." Ngiwi niya.

Pinaningkitan ko siya ng mata. "At anong problema mo? Kung paano ka mapapansin ni Primo?" Ngumiwi rin ako.

"Yeah..." aniya sa maliit na boses. "So what made you think na iiyakan mo siya?"

"Hindi naman kask puro saya lang pag nagmahal ka." I said seriously.
