"Oh God, what the hell did I do to experience this kind of shit?", naipikit ko nalang ang mata ko habang sinasabi yon. I still feel Haze hand holding mine.

"Are you saying something? I can't hear you."

"Nothing. Can you please take your hand off now? Wala na tayo sa tawiran, you see?", medyo iritable kong sabi.

"Ayy, sorry. Ito gagalit agad. Meron kaba ngayon?", I frowned at him when he say that.

"That's not a normal thing to ask especially to girls, idiot. And no, I'm not on my period today."

Sino ba naman kasi ang hindi maiinis sa sitwasyon ko ha? Sige nga, kayo dito ang lumugar. Tignan ko lang kung hindi kayo ma-baliw.

"Anyways, where are we going?", I asked at him.

For some reason he stopped walking and I did the same thing. He looked at me obliviously.

What's wrong with this guy?

"Hindi ko rin alam eh.", he answered.

"Wait. What? You didn't know where are we going?"

"Eh sinusundan lang naman kita eh. ", sagot niya.

"Ano?! Eh ako nga tong sumusunod sayo!"

Nagkatinginan nalang kaming dalawa.

Argh! This is stupid. No! He is stupid!

"Hayss. Pumunta nalang tayo sa coffee shop.", baka doon may mapala pako.

"Eh? Since when did you change your mind?", imbis na maglalakad nako ay naudlot nang dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Huh? What do you mean?", takang tanong ko sa kanya.

"Dati kase kapag inaaya kita sa coffee shop na pinagta-trabahuan ko umaayaw ka kaagad. Nakapagtataka lang na ikaw pa mismo ang nag-aya na pumunta doon."

What the hell is he say— Oh my God, I almost forgot! Ibang tao na nga pala ako dito! If that's the case, who am I here?

"Uyy, Quelle! Okay ka lang? Tulala kana naman."

Quelle? Is that— wait don't tell me. Is Raquelle my name here? Bago ako mapunta dito may nabanggit si Clarence na pangalan. If I remember correctly it's Raquelle. How come this thing happen?

"I'm fine.", sagot ko para hindi siya mag-isip ng kung ano-ano.

"Uhm, are you still angry?", kunot-noo akong napatingin sa kanya.

"What do you mean?", I'm angry, yes because you're stupid but I don't think that's the reason why he's asking.

"Kase, hindi natin na-celebrate yung monthsary natin kahapon."

"Ah, no. I'm not angry.", and who the heck would mind it in this kind of situation, huh?

"Are you sure?", paninigurado niya.

"You know what? If you really feel that sorry then treat me to the coffee shop as a compensation.", feeling ko kase hindi siya titigil hangga't hindi ako nagsasalita ng gusto ko.

"Suree! Yun lang pala eh. I love you, Quelle!", sabi niya sabay yakap at halik sa pisngi ko.

He have the looks but wow, I didn't know that he's this childish. And how did we end up being together? Is this the type of guy that Raquelle likes?

"Welcome! Oh, yo, Haze!"

"Hey! Wala masyadong customer ah."
