Where the Daisies Know Your Name

❝In which two normal college students studying Geography sought their own definition to the 0.003 inch space between their palms - a home.❞

Kung pagbabasehan ang isa sa mga principle ng Geography, "Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things." Although it's nice to hear about the situation of getting near to your love interest, delubyo iyon para kay Paolo. Hindi dahil sa ayaw niyang lalong mahulog ang kaniyang loob rito, kundi dahil siguradong uuwi siyang luhaan kapag natapos na ang lahat ng ito - ang relasyon nilang short span. Yet he let Sela wander around his vicinity anyway.

Eventually, they have no idea what's happening. At least they believe they weren't something, even if it's evident that they're doing everything . . . that only sweethearts do.

Soon enough, he found his heart fluttering in joy whenever she's around.

At first, it was enough for him to see her as someone that could make his blood rush on his cheeks; 'happy crush' they say. But just like the number of people in the world, his feelings started growing rapidly (that's what they learned from studying Geography).

Although he knew that he had a thing for her, he chose not to disclose it for three reasons: first, he wasn't a boyfriend type of guy as he perceived himself to be. Second, she's too perfect for him. Lastly, the most probable reason, she doesn't like him.

They weren't on the same page, as what he believed them to be.

But why are they doing everything when they're not a thing?

Perhaps the only way to figure things out is to ask their usual question, "nasaan nga ulit tayo?" Pero katulad ng inside joke nila, she would say, "dito."
Nandito sila at naglalaro sa limbo... in this confusing situation.
