[Ananchel POV]

“Sasama kaba?” tanong saakin ng kaibigan ko. Agad ko naman siyang tinanguan habang namimili ako ng isusuot ko. Nagkayayaan na naman kasi ang barkada na gumala na madalas naming ginagawa lalo na noong nasa iisang school lang kami.
I don't have anything to do right now kaya ay sasama na ako. Kakauwi ko lang galing school at naabutan ko si Sam na nandito sa bahay to invite me.

I picked the simpliest clothes I saw in my closet.  Isang long sleeve crop top na puti at isang skinny jeans na pinaresan ko ng isnag itim ng stellito.

I didn't wear any jewelries, because I don't feel like wearing one and it's not really necessary. Hinayaan ko lang ding naka lugay ang buhok ko.

“Let's go.” yaya ko kay Sam at hinila siya palabas ng kwarto ko at tumungo sa garahe ng bahay.

Akmang bubuksan ko ang pinto ng kotseng gagamitin ko ay siya namang pag-ring ng phone ko, indikasyon na may tumatawag.

I picked it up without even glancing to the caller's name.

“Who the fuck is you and what do you neeed I am busy right now.” Saad ko na hindi man lang binigyang pagkakataong magsalita ang nasa kabilang linya.

“Nevermind.”  wait? Her voice is familiar.

“Wait I-” I wasn't able to finish my sentence when she hang up the phone.

“Fuck!” kaagad kong denial ang number pero hindi na nito sinasagot.

Fuck myself for not fucking looking to the caller's name.

“What's wrong?” tanong ni Sam na kasalukuyang nasa tabi ko.

“She's not answering her phone!” naiinis na wika ko.  Ilang tawag pag ang ginawa ko bago niya sinagot.

“Finally! I'm sorry Dev, I wasn't looking to the caller's name that's why.” paliwanag ko dito. And yes, the one who's calling me is Devourah. I don't know why she's calling right now pero nakaramdam kaagad ako ng kasiyahan nang malaman kong siya ang tumawag. I don't know where did she got my number, I have her number listed on my phone but I can't remember anything about giving my number to her. But still, I'm happy that she have my phone number, that only mean one thing-she's interested in me.
That's quite too delusional of me, but there's no law saying that assuming is probihited right?

“I am about to ask you if you can go out with me but since you're busy I'll just ask someone else.” saad nito na agad ko namang tinutulan.

“No-no no, I think you heard me wrong Ms.Cullen, I have a lot of time right now. So where are you?” agad akong tinaasan ng kilay ni Sam nang marinig niya ang sinabi ko.

“not busy my ass” rinig kong bulong niya bago niya ako tinalikuran. Natatawang sinundan ko siya ng tingin. Alam kong ipapaliwanag naman niya sa iba pa naming kaibigan  kung bakit di ako makakasama. I'm sure they'll understand.

“Send me your location, I'll fetch you.” binaba nito ang linya ng hindi man lang nagpapaalam pero kahit na, hindi nito masisira ang magandang mood ko ngayon. I smile widely while texting her my address.

And after almost 30 minutes of waiting ay dumating rin siya.

Kaagad akong sumakay sa passengers seat, nang makaupo ay bahagya kong nilapit ang mukha kay Dev na ngayon ay naka tingin sa akin. I gave her my sweetest smile and kiss her cheeks without giving her the chance to back off.
