It's a beautiful day.
It really is.
Only yesterday have I the opportunity to open my account on Facebook.
I don't know why I thought it's fancy the sight of Marco's friend request.
Eventually, I'll accept it. Not that I'm going to decline that request.
Without an hour later, he reacted on my My day.
And boy, that was the very start of our fancy conversation.
Do I like him?
Maybe.
Does he likes me?
On my way on our room, as I stepped my foot on the third floor of our building Neil, Marco, and Robbie are looking at me.
They weren't waiting for me right?
Or nabigla lang sila, kasi I've got a new haircut?
"Jaime," lapit sakin ni Robbie --locking his arm on mine, "sinabi ko kay Marco dapat pumunta siya nung birthday mo."
Yeah, last two days ginampanan ung 18th birthday ko.
I invited our whole class, A121, were invited including, our class adviser in my party.
"Ba't ka nag pagupit?" sabat ni Neil. I smiled to Marco who's starring and smiling at me.
Mukhang may pinag uusapan sila nung nauna.
"Mukha ka tuloy bell." dagdag pa ni Neil. Tsaka ko siya tinapunan ng tingin.
"Pero napansin ko, gumaganda si Jaime no," ani pa niya.
Hay nako Neil.
"Noh," siko niya kay Marco.
Di ko na nakita kung anong reaksyon ni Marco kasi dumating na sina Chloe, nakisabay na akong pumasok sa room.

In the latter part of the class, someone knocked on the door.
"Ma'am pinapatawag po si Pierre Neilson Gomez," one of the basketball player said.
Marco mentioned once na ang tamad daw mag training nitong si Neil.
But aforetime, Neil have stated na ayaw niya raw lumabas ng room, "kase gusto ko kayong kasama" --that's what he exactly said.
This year kasi, halos marami kaming free time sa room, unlike last sem.
After half a minute ago, sumilip si Neil sa pinto.
"Ma'am kindly excused Jaime Perez," lahat ng mga kaklasi ko nakatingin ngayon sa'kin.
I heard whispers, especially from Robbie.
Ugh! Curse backbiters!
At kay Krystal pa talaga siya bumubulong.
Wasn't he aware na best friend ko si Krystal?
I checked Neil's face and I know for a fact that something is not.
Nang malapit na ako sa pinto, I refused to go outside and sit back on my seat.

"Bakit di ka lumabas?" intrigang tanong ni Neil sakin after class.
"Si Paulo talaga nag patawag sa'yo,"
"Padating kasi si Marco nu'n. Nahalata niya yata na pinatawag ka namin kasi nakatingin kaming lahat sakanya." while narrating, he laughed as he recalled what happened earlier.
"Di niya alam kung anong gagawin niya, tsaka niya sinuntok si Patrick."
""Ba't ako?!" sabi ni Patrick. Nakakaawa talaga si Patrick asakanilang magba barkada.""
