Finding The One

HANNA

"Hanna! Are you listening to me?" sigaw ni shin sa akin.

Nakatulala na pala ko, ngayon ko lang nalaman. Oh-em. What's happening to me?! On the time na nakilala ko si Ethan, naging pre-occupied na yung utak ko.

"S-Sorry. What you're saying again?" I asked her.

"Nothing. Uwi na tayo? It seems that you're already sleepy."

"Okay. Tara magpaalam na tayo kay eliza."

"Ako nalang. Wait for me nalang here."

"Okay." hindi na ako sumama kasi I feel so tired na. I dont know pero feeling ko pagod na pagod ako. Is this because of thinking of ethan? Ugh.

Like what Shin said, I waited for her nalang here. Im about to stand up when someone holds my hand.

"Stay for a while." He smiled. Oh-em-gee! Its ETHAN HOOD!

"O-Okay." I sat down then looked at him. "Why? Is there any problem?"

"Uh. Can I send you home? If you dont mind." He shrugged. "Please?"

"S-Sorry ethan. Pero Im with my bestfriend kasi eh."

"Okay. Sayang naman." His smile made my heartbeat abnormal. "Can I get your number perhaps? You can't say no. Are you?" Sigurado talaga siyang ibibigay ko huh? "Here's my phone."

I grab his phone then saved my phone number there. I gaved it to him. Then I smiled.

"Thank you." He said then winked at me.

"You're welcome." I said. He was about to say something when I saw shin calling me from faraway.

"Uh, sorry. But if you dont mind, Im now leaving. Shin is already calling me there." I pointed shin's place

"Okay. Goodbye FOR NOW."

Is he really that sure na magkikita pa kami next time? Oh, How I wish.

"Anong sabi ni Eliza kagabi?" We're here at cafeteria talking about Eliza's party.

"Thank you daw sa pagpunta. And see you next time."

"By the way, why are you with ethan kagabi? The time I left you? What are you two talking about?" Ah, oo nga pala. Hindi ko pa nakukwento sa kanya. Pagkauwi kasi namin kagabi, nakatulog na agad kami. We dont even bother to change our clothes.

"Uh. He just-- get my phone number." I said then continue to eat my food

"Maybe he likes you." What's happening to her? Parang di si shin tong kausap ko ah. I thought she will answer exaggeratedly. Like, 'OH MY GOD BESTFRIEND! NA-LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT SAYO YUN! BAKA SIYA NA YUNG THE ONE MO. OMG! OMG!' Pero, hindi eh. Her answer is like, uhm. I THINK, SHE'S SAD. Or baka she's not in mood lang.

"Come on bestfriend. Baka ma-late pa tayo sa next class natin." tapos nauna na siya sa akin maglakad. WEIRD. She always waiting me naman. I sighed. Gosh, What's wrong with her?!

I followed her then I shrugged.

Im here at my bed thinking about shin. She is really acting weird. Simula ng itanong niya sa akin yung about sa pinag-usapan namin kagabi ni ethan, she remained silent. May gusto ba siya kay ethan or what?

*BEEP*

Someone texted me? Its already late night. I get my phone and checked it.

From: 09*********

Hi hanna. Ethan Hood here.

ITS ETHAN HOOD! I screamed in happiness. Wait, WHAT? Did I effin' screamed?! Fvck. This isn't good anymore.

I saved his phone number then I hugged the pillow beside me. I closed my eyes. I heard my heartbeat. Its beating fast! FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! Oh, Ethan Hood. What are you doing to me?!!

I get my phone again. Then, I reread that text message. SHOULD I REPLY BACK? Ugh.

'Ofcourse hanna! You should!'

My heart and mind already say yes. So, I started to respond to his text message.

TO: ETHAN HOOD 
Okay. I've already saved your number.

This is the reason why i love communicating through phone, It saves me from uttering.

*BEEP*

FROM: ETHAN HOOD
Why are you not sleeping yet? Its late night. The princess like you should be sleeping now.

IM A PRINCESS? OH GOD, WHAT'S HAPPENING AGAIN ON MY HEARTBEAT?! Its beating fast.

ETHAN HOOD, Why are you have this affect to me?!
