Jeric's POV

Kakauwi ko lang galing Taguig hinatid ko yung kaibigan ko.  Pero ang mas maganda, nakilala ko na yung babaeng nakita ko sa arena. Akala ko di ko na ulit sya makikita. But thanks God I had a chance to know her name.

Taga- Ateneo talaga sya. She's beautiful in a different way. Hindi sya gaanong matangkad, petite ang pangangatawan then the way she smiles it's very different. Perfect yung smile nya, it fits on her bubbly face.

Kinuha ko ang phone ko sa bulsa. At pagkasakay ko sa kotse ko I opened my twitter account. I tap the "search" and typed her name.

Janella Ventura

Nakita ko agad yung twitter nya dahil sa DP malamang kasi nandun yung picture nya diba? Follower ko pala sya. I instantly followed her at nag-tweet ako sakanya.

"@Janellaaa: Hi Janella! Nice to meet you! :)"

Then binaba ko na yung phone ko and drove myself in my dorm.

Janella's POV

After checking my condo. Mom brought me back to school. 

Until now hindi parin ako makapaniwala, I-I just met Jeric Fortuna!!!! 

My skin met his. He also know my name. This is not my dream but yung feeling ko eh dream come true 'to para sakin. Saglit lang kami nag-usap but it lasts to me like forever.

Dismissed nakami pagkalabas ko ng classroom I saw Eunesse waiting for me.

"Hi Eunesse! Let's have dinner treat ko!" I grabbed her hand gently and walked papunta sa car nya.

"Wait. Miracle! Ililibre mo ako?" tanong nya sakin. Hindi kasi ako ganun eh. Hindi rin naman ako kuripot.

"Ayaw mo?" pagsusungit ko kunwari.

"Hindi gusto ko! So where we goin'?" tanong nya. Nakarating na kami kung saan sya nagpark ng kotse.

"You choose" sumakay na kami sa koyse nya at pinaandar nya ito.

" uhmm. I'm craving for chinese food so sa Chinese resto tayo kakain" Eunesse. Sabi nya habang naka'smile na parang bata.

Itong bestfriend ko mapapagkamalan mong bata may pagka'childish eh. First year HS palang magbestfriend na kami nyan until now walang pinagbago ako parin yung mature daw nyang baby sister. Mas mukha syang matanda kaya sya daw yung mommy ko at ako naman ang baby nya. 

Nakarating kami sa isang Chinese restaurant di kalayuan sa school. Wala masyadong tao sa loob kaya tahimik at relaxing.

Pagkaupo namin sa may bandang dulo agad naman akong tinanong ni Eunesse. 

"Janella what is the true and main reason kung bakit mo ako nilibre?" I told you masyado na nya akong kilala. Nililibre ko lang sya pag may something na super special.

"I met him!" I hold her wrist tight and shakes it. I'm blushing again!

" Who?" sounding interested nyang tanong.

"Mr. Fortuna. I met him a while ago noong nasa Taguig ako." I said.

"Then?" 

" Uhh.. We introduced each other he already know my name Eunesse!" I said. I can feel the blood rising up in my cheeks.

" Babe your blushing. Do you like him?" asked Eunesse.

What will I tell her? I'm not sure of my feeling, baka infatuation lang 'to or simpleng pag-hanga. I want to develop this feeling. I want to know kung ano ba talaga itong nararamdaman ko towards Jeric.

"I don't know. Baka infatuation lang 'to na madali rin mag fade." sabi ko I let go of her wrist.

"Hindi naman pwedeng hindi mo alam yang nararamdaman mo. Ask your self. Kung ano ba talaga. But wait. Kakikilala mo palang sa kanya imposible naman na mahal mo na sya in an instance." napaisip ako sa sinabi niya. Malabo na mainlove ako sakanya. It's like contradicting ang lagay namin. 

"Basta hindi ko alam. Ang alam ko lang kilala na nya ako. I'm satisfied with that. Alam nya may nag e'exist na Janella Ventura." I smiled.

" Bahala ka na nga. Order na tayo. My stomach is growling already." sabay tingin nya sa menu.

I checked my phone and saw some twitter notifications. I viewed those and something struck me.

"@JericFortuna: Hi Janella! Nice to meet you! :)" 

" Jeric Fortuna is now following you" 

"Gosh!" I almost screemed.

"Why?" tanong sakin ni Eunesse.

" Jeric followed me and he twitter me!" Pinakita ko sakanya ang phone ko. 

Natawa naman sya. "Janella you're like a fangirl." then tumawa uli sya. 

Walang masama kung maging fan ako ni Jeric eh.  I know my limitation, Atenista ako I am obligated to support our team.

I replied to his tweet.

"@jericfortuna: Hi Jeric nice to meet you too! :)" I'm blusing while replying to his tweet. 

I saw na maraming nag retweet at nag favorite ng tweet nya sakin. He's famous. Marami syang fans who supports him. May nagreply pa nga na sana sila rin daw ay ma'meet ni Jeric.

Am I lucky enough? Na nakilala ko sya? I think yes. Nakakatuwa dahil nakilala ko sya. Si Fort, yung babe ng karamihan. 

One thing I've realized I really want to develop my feelings towards him. 

But the question is how?

Paano ko naman madedevelop itong feelings ko. 

Do I need to know my real feelings para kung ano man ito I'll know paano ko ito madedevelop.

Am I his fangirl only?

Crush ko ba sya?

Do I like him?

Do I love him?

Ugh no erase that love! Masyado naman yata kung inlove ako agad kakikilala ko pa nga lang diba.

But something or someone inside me telling that I like him..........

A lot.
