A/N: Apollo 13 is mentioned in this chapter. If you haven't heard of it, you can watch a well-made video about it, which I attached on the media section above.

Maria Therese Aragon:
hi cous! 💖
Kite Aragon: Therese!
Therese: Kamusta? I was just done talking to Lolo and Lola and thought I should check up on you :)
Tagal na natin di nagkita huhu
Kite:
kaya nga eh. Ikaw? Musta diyan sa London?
Therese: Cold. Just recently resigned on my job as a bartender. My poetry book is gonna be released early January next year and I'm currently attending a painting course!
Everything's slowly paying off. :)
Kite:
I'm glad. You deserve it so much. Really proud of you ❤️
Therese: no, I'm the one who's proud of you!
Congratulations on passing to one of the most prestigious university! And sa Physics course pa. Maliit lang ang acceptance rate di'ba?
Kite: Thank you, Therese :)
I'm just lucky I made the cut
Therese: anong lucky eh puro math wizards lang nakakapasa diyan
Wala ako ni katiting ng braincells mo
Kite: you're smart, too
You're way more talented in arts
I could not draw or craft the things you can
Therese: oh no, honey
Let's be real here
Ikaw yata ang pinakamatalino sa angkan natin
Sobra yung iyak mo sa movie na Apollo 13. You admired those astronauts who got stranded in space and super amazed tayo how they did mathematical computations so that they could get back on Earth
Kite:
don't tell me you didn't feel all kinds of emotion while watching it.
It's one of the best true-to-life movies
Therese: kaya nga. That terrified me as hell. Pero ikaw nag-go ka pa talaga diyan.
I could not, for the love of me, solve mathematical problems to save my life.
Mabuti na lang di ako matalino, ayoko pang mamatay.
Kite: bwisit HAHAHAHA
Therese: what about your parents? I heard from our grandparents. They're still not talking to you?
Kite:
Not at all. Besides, I don't think it's any different. It's not like dama ko yung presensya nila kahit dati pa
Therese: sina ate?
Kite: they contacted me. But I don't really...
Basta. They're busy. I'm busy too.
Therese: ok. sorry for bringing them up.
I just want to see how you're actually doing without them...
Kite: your concern is valid. But yeah, I'd rather not talk about them.
Therese: I saw your IG stories. Ikaw lang ba ang girl? Why puro lalaki kasama mo?
Kite: ...uh yeah. Unfortunately.
The one you often see is Raven and JM and they're girls at heart. Other than that... puro lalaki na.
Therese: isn't that hard?
Kite: at first. I had to set boundaries pero sanayan lang talaga.
It's certainly a shock. It gets better, especially if you somehow created a bond through times.
Therese: Are they nerds? Ehrm.. are there any hotties?
Kite: karamihan both hahaha nerd + attractive
Therese: wow that's intriguing
what about school? di'ba usually pabigat mga lalaki sometimes
Kite:
wala naman sa gender yan, naging pabigat din ako sa mga ka-groupmates ko dati hahaha
I mean, they dream to be astrophysicists
They can be a handful sometimes pero ang maganda sa'min ay hindi talaga sila ganoong nagrereklamo. They know that there's no such thing as smooth sailing
We have to be intelligent and quick-witted to surpass obstacles such as the Apollo 13 incident. We have to think outside the box at all times to discover revolutionary ideas like Einstein, Newton, and everybody else did....
Sorry. Ang dami ko na namang sinasabi 🤧
Therese: it's okay 😆 Made me think of the old times
Nakakamiss. Naaalala ko kung paano ka magkwento about the stars and the universe tapos ako nakanganga lang, walang ma-gets 😂
Kite:
it's really my thing, no? I just realized it recently. I'm really glad my newfound friends doesn't mind whenever I blabber.
Therese: because now you have found your tribe. I bet they can answer and converse you with all that nerdy stuff.
Kite: True. What about you? Got any afam bf?
Therese: Hahaha well I do met someone
A few glances here and there lang... I really don't know if he likes me or something...
Kite: he probably does
if he doesn't like you, I bet you can still make him fall though
I-max out mo yung flirting skills mo hahah
Therese: why? 😆 is that what you do?
ikaw ha 🤭 porke marami kang options...
Kite:
Tss I don't feel any sparks to any of them
Sa ngayon I'm more in love with astronomy...
Therese: wag magsalita ng tapos
Malay mo naman
Kite: hmm I don't really know
In this day and age?
Love seems superficial to me now
Therese:
You're saying that now
But once love is within your reach, you wouldn't be able to defy it
Kite: ano yan black hole? 😆
Therese: yeah 😂 the universe is just as poetic as love, KiteDon't let scientific equations rule that out
Okay I need to go now. don't spend your college by just studying
It's not bad to let yourself have fun
Kite: will take note of that, cous
