He left to pursue his dream. She tried to stop him but ended up letting him go. The raw familiar feeling she felt when she heard his voice over the phone. That's when inflamed feelings started to rise again.

I woke up earlier than usual. Alas sais y medya pa lang lumabas na ako ng bahay. I went straight to Ral's house. Ngayon sila aalis para sa regionals. It will be held in Surigao City.
I was looking at the ground, kicking stones when I heard the gate opened. Mabilis akong tumingala at ngumiti nang makita si Ral. He's freshly showered. I can smell his scent from here.
"Irene, anong ginagawa mo dito?"
I smiled before handing him the paper bag I was carrying. Kumunot ang kanyang noo ngunit tinanggap niya ito.
"Ano 'to?" aniya sabay tingin sa loob ng paper bag.
"Snacks... Binilhan kita para lalo ka makapag-concentrate. You know the mind works well if your stomach is full. May nuts at chocolate din dyan!"
He fixed his gaze. The corners of my mouth twitch upwards.
"Thank you..."
"No probs! What are friends for! Tara na, baka mahuli ka!"
Nag lakad na kami patungo sa crossing at sumakay na ng multicab. Nang nakarating na kami ng school, dumeretso kami Science Dept. He turned around to face me.
"I'll place the top. I promise."
I let out a small chuckle. "Okay lang kapag hindi! Were still you for reaching this far!"
He smiled sincerely. "Thanks, Irene. It means a lot..."
I nodded enthusiastically before pushing him.
"Punta ka na dun! Good luck, Ral! FIGHTING!!"
Tumawa siya bago kumaway at pumasok na. Pumunta na rin ako sa aming silid. Wala pa ang mga kaibigan ko kaya natulog nalang ako. I woke up when someone was tickling my neck which is my ticklish part.
"A-Ano ba! Stop!" I said in between laughs.
Pinigilan ni Ria, Sanella at Narumi ang kanilang tawa.
"Irene! What's so funny?! Answer this on the board!"
I jumped and panicked. Tinignan ko ng masama ang aking mga kaibigan. Ang dami na nilang kasalanan sa 'kin.
"What are you waiting for?! Answer this!"
Mariin kong pinikit ang aking mga mata at bumuntonghininga bago tumayo at kinuha ang chalk galing sa aking English teacher. Siya ang pinaka-terror sa lahat! Patay ako pag mali ang sagotko! Humanda talaga sila Ria sa 'kin mamaya!
My heart was beating faster as I answer the question written on the board. Sa nanginginig na kamay, binalik ko sa kanya ang chalk. She only glared at me and I immediately ran towards my seat.
"Correct..." aniya. I sighed in relief.
I stepped on Narumi's feet which she growled. I smirked.
