"I never meant to hurt you" sabi nya.
"That doesn't really matter because in the end it all hurts just the same". Sabi ko at tsaka ako tumalikod.

"Hey! I have chika" sabi ni Milan.
"What is it?"
"Muntik na magsuntukan si Jordi at Ady" napatigil ako sa pagbabasa ng notes ko dahil sa sinabi ni Milan.
"What happened? Is it true?" nagtataka kong tanong. They were cousins kasi then magkaibigan na sila since nung bata pa sila.
"About basketball. Ady's not showing up tuwing practice then he always cut class and laging naka tambay sa unWINEd" paliwanag ni Milan.
What's his problem? That's so not like him. He really loves basketball, hindi nya magagawa yon.
"Wassup girls" bati ni Joaquin na kadarating lang kasama si Ravi. Hindi nila kasama si Ady at Jordi.
"What's Poppin! What's Gucci!" bati ni Ravi.
"What happened to Ady and Jordi?" agad kong tanong.
"Talk to Ady, maybe he'll listen to you" sagot ni Ravi.
Bakit sakin? We're close friends pero kung may problema sya dapat sa girlfriend nya sya mag rant. Bahala sya, ayoko ng mangielam sa buhay nya. Tuwing ginagawa ko yun dati tinataboy nya lang ako eh.
Hindi ko nalang sila pinansin at pinagpatuloy ko pagbabasa ng notes. But the whole day hindi ko maalis sa isip ko si Ady. Hay.
"Hey, what's bothering you?" tanong ni Abel habang nag di drive sya pauwi samin.
"Uhm wala, madami lang talagang pinapa gawa sa school" sabi ko at ngumiti ako.
"If you need help just tell me. My sister is a med student" sabi nya.
"Really? I didn't know you have a sister"
"Well Mary, there's alot of things you didn't know about me" sabi nya ng naka ngiti.
Pinag buksan nya ako ng pinto ng pagbaba ko sa kotse. He's really nice.
"Lunch with me tomorrow?" tanong nya.
"Okay. Ingat!" paalam ko.
He's really nice. Siguro tama si Milan, I should give him a chance. Hindi pwedeng habang buhay naka stuck lang ako kay Ady. I need to move forward.
Pero not now, ayokong mag madali dahil alam ko na sa puso ko, si Ady pa rin ang sinisigaw. Ayokong isipin na ginagamit ko lang sya para makalimutan si Ady. I don't want him to be a rebound.
A few weeks passed, wala naman masyado ganap. Abel and I always eat together tuwing lunch, minsan sumasabit si Milan. Hindi ko madalas makita si Ady pati ung tatlong boys.
Super busy nila sa school sabayan pa ng basketball. Sabi ni Milan ganun pa rin daw si Ady. Ano ba problema nya? Nako konsensya na ako, dapat ba kinausap ko sya nun?
Minsan kinausap ko sa call si Ate Cassy para kamustahin si Ady at sabi nya araw araw daw umuuwing lasing. She also told me na kausapin ko daw si Ady.
Nasanay na ba silang pag may problema si Ady, andyan ako para saluhin sya? Saluhin ung problema nya? Pero hindi na ngayon, ayoko na.
"Naiinis na si coach sakanya, malapit na syang tanggalin sa team" naiinis na sabi ni Joaquin. Tinutukoy ba nya si Ady?
"There's a possibility na ma suspend sya cause he always cut class" sabi ni Ravi.
