Tumalikod ako sa kanila at umupo sa pinakamalapit na upuan.

Kagat labi kong binuksan ang message habang nakakunot pa rin ang noo.

From: Unknown

Happy new year, Amethyst.

Agad naman sumama ang tingin ko sa text pagkatapos kong mabasa. Amethyst? Who on earth would call me that?

Agad akong nag type ng reply.

To: Unknown

Who tf are you? And how did you know my freaking name?

Napatingin ako sa pamilya ko. They called me to go and eat with them, but I just gave them a small nod.

"I'll be there," bulaw kong sabi. I was too preoccupied with how this person acquired my number.

From: Unknown

Your future husband, Amethyst. Of course, I know you, you're my soon to be wife ;)

I almost vomited on my phone. I mean not literally, but this person spouts bullshit, and now I know that he's a he.

Mas lalong bumaliktad ang sikmura ko, knowing that this is a guy? What if he's a stalker? A serial killer?

To: Unknown

How did you get my number? Are you a killer on the loose? Go back to where you've come from you weirdo!

It was too late for me to realize what I said. Na-send ko na. In the terms of our messages, I sound way weird.

From: Unknown

I have my ways, Amethyst. ;)

Umasim ang mukha ko.

First of all, who is he to call me by my second name? Second, what's with that creepy wink emoji?

"Court! Come!" Mommy called.

I glanced at their place as I stood up. Nilagay ko sa bulsa ko ang phone ko. Naglakad na ako papunta sa kanila at kumain na.

"Na-miss mo 'ko 'no?" Agad kong tinulak si Cole.

It's been days since the celebration. Until now I still don't know who the fuck texted me.

Hindi niya na ako kinulit, but his last message was confusing.

From: Unknown

As my eyes darted in you, I suddenly saw you in my future

"Ano'ng na-miss? I would be happier if you didn't go back here," pagtataray ko sa kanya.

Anton put his arms around my shoulders. Humilig siya papalapit sa akin. "Ako lang na-miss mo Lil Sis 'no?" Ngumisi siya at tinaas-baba ang kilay niya.

Tinanggal ko ang braso niya at umiling. "Hindi rin."

"Ako ba?" singit ni Alex. Napatingin naman ako sa kanya. I shrugged.

They teased each other, saying that they're jealous because I totally dumped Cole and Anton.

Natawa naman ako, but of course I didn't let them see that.

"Whatever, guys! You should head to your rooms. Take a rest too," sinabihan ko sila. May klase na naman kasi bukas, pagkatapos ng klase ay ang pageensayo nila para sa concert.

"Ay concerned si Courtney..." Sinundot ni Anton ang tagiliran ko.

"Of course! I'm your manager, it's practically my duty to take care of you guys." Hinuli ko ang daliri ni Anton at pinisil 'yon.
