I said to myself when I noticed through my peripheral vision that Gabriel constantly glanced at me. I hate it. It made me feel uncomfortable.
"Tingin ka pa sa akin at susuntukin na talaga kita dyan".
"Hoy, Tina! Sinong kausap mo dyan?"
Riza nudged my shoulder. I rolled my eyes and heaved a sigh.
"Pakiramdam ko kasi may pasulyap sulyap sa akin eh".
"Ayeeehhh sino 'yan ha??? Ipakilala mo sa akin, girl!"
"Gaga! I find him creepy! Like the hell!"
"Kung maka creepy huh parang ini-stalk lang ng multo!"

I was writing on my diary that time and as usual I felt something strange again. Somebody looked at me.
I quickly turned my head to Gabriel only to catch him staring at me. I really couldn't draw how he looked like. I wanted to laugh out loud because he really looked confuse whether to remove his gaze from me or not.
"Ano bang problema mo huh?"
"Ha? Ako?"
Nagtataka niyang turo sa sarili.
"Oo sino pa ba?"
Napakamot siya sa batok. His ears instantly turned to red.
"Bakit ba kasi ang sarap mo?"
"A-ako, masarap?"
Nataranta kong sagot.
"Oo, ang sarap mong ihagis doon sa fountain oh. Hindi mo binabayaran ang utang mong 20 pesos. Noong unang buwan pa 'yon".
