The number you dialled busy or either busy or out of coverage area.
"Dude, busy ang number niya." sabi ni Jace kay Neil.
"Baka nagtelebabad na naman sila ni Jean dude. Or tulog pa. Di siya early-riser." sagot ni Neil. "Tawagan mo uli mamaya."
At last, makakausap ko narin si Mary. I don't know, but there's something fluttering sakin while waiting for her. Damn. Ano ba ito?

8:00 am
"I've tried playing it cool,
But when I'm looking at you,
I can't ever be brave,
'Coz you make my heart race."
Wait. Is it Liam? Talking to me? I heard him talking to me like on the real.
DARN! It's just my phone ringing. Oh how I wish it was Liam.
"Liam?" I asked sleepily. Ugh! My mouth spoke what my mind's telling me.
"Good Morning Princess." a voice said. Oh, If it's Liam, I can die any minute.
"Who's this please?" I asked.
"Adik ka talaga sa One Direction eh." natatawang sabi ng guy. "Well, I'm the mean green-eyed monster."
I stood up like I was electrocuted. "JAAAAAAACEEE?!"
"Oh, easy, sweetie. I'm just here. Don't scream. Nacoconscious ako." he laughed.
"Pa-paaano?!?" I was fumbling. "Darn! NEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIL!"
"Wait, before you hate your bestfriend, I must hate him more. Alam mo bang 1 week na family-sized pizza at 2 liters coke ang kapalit ng number mo?!" he spoke as if agaw-buhay na yun.
Okay. Mental note: Mabait naman pala si Jace. And he made effort para makuha ang number ko. Adorable at times.
"Wait, wait. Bakit ka napatawag? And don't ever call me Princess."
"Well, I have a deal for you." he said.
" Deal? Again? I've had enough with the Samson thingy."
"Well, if you agree to this, you won't have to enter our school. Anymore."
Okay, so he's compassionate as well. Great. "What is it? Okay. Spill."
"Well, you have to pretend as my girlfriend for a month."
I choked. "GIRLFRIEND?!" I clarified to him.
"Yes. Jowa. Syota. Whatever you wanna call it."
"What? Why?" This seems much harder than the boyish thing.
"My ex-girlfriend's coming back. She wants us to meet, and I told her I have a girlfriend."
"And that would be me?"
"Yeah,"
"No way."
"Huh?"
"Can I just think it over?"
"She's coming in a week!" And the Samson enrollment would be in a week as well. Talk about PRESSURE.
"In two days. I'll just need to think about this.
"Okay, take your time." And he disconnected.

"Si Lizzy yung first love ni Jace. But, she chose the Pierre Art School Scholarship over him, na made him brokenhearted for two years." kwento ni Neil. "Ako bespren ha, mas okay sakin yung maging fake girlfriend. Kasi at least, di mo na kailangan magpagupit ng buhok, or even maglie kay Tita."
"Tama nga si Neil, Mary." sabi ni Jean. At least, ang paghahandaan mo lang eh ! Kung paani magiging kapanipaniwalang girlfriend niya."
Siguro nga noh? Anyway, may 2 days pa ako. Sana tama madecide ko. * fingers crossed.
