A/N: Song for the chapter - Hey Stephen by Taylor Swift :)

---x---

The Gals of Einstein

Kite: Hey.

Raven: Hey.

JM: May ikekwento ka ba?

Kite:
Naramdaman niyo agad? Haha

JM: We're just waiting for you :)

Raven: Spill, baby girl. We saw the pic 😊
Magkasama kayo sa madaling araw a 😏

Kite: Kase... I don't know what do.

JM: Huh? Why?

Raven: Hala! Buntis ka ba?

Kite: What? Gaga HINDI

Raven: sorry yung wording mo kasi 🤣

Pero go na... ano yun?

Kite: Today... I realized I like Lorenz.

It's so overwhelming. Bigla-bigla na lang napuno ang pakiramdam ko. I feel like anytime I would explode.

Is it always this scary, Raven? To like someone?

Raven: Did he kiss you?

Kite: What? No!
But... we had a moment there.

Nagkatitigan kami habang unti-unting sumisikat ang araw

Parang gustong tumalon ng puso ko sa kaba. Then and there I realized, gusto ko siya.

JM: oh shit. I don't know why pero naiiyak ako para sa'yo. I'm so happy

Did he plan to take you there? That's so nakakakilig

Kite:
I know right? Like... I even joked that he's making me fall for him

Pero ako pala 'tong nahulog sa kaniya

Raven: We both know, Kite. We're just waiting for you to acknowledge it.

You like each other.

Kite: We don't know that.

I always tease and flirt lightly with him. Pero paano pala kung ako lang ang nahuhulog?

I want him to be mine. Shit. What if he doesn't like me back?

JM: You're just afraid. That means you really feel deeply for him na.

Pero girl, trust me, you should take the risk. I'm 95% certain he likes you back.

Kite: What about the 5%?

JM: Well, malay mo paasa lang talaga siya.

Kite:
Baka nga mabait lang talaga siya... 😞

JM: Oy don't be like that! Be confident! 95% chance nga diba?

Stay cool ka lang. Continue treating him like you did before. With added flirting. Tapos obserbahan mo kung gusto ka niya o hindi.

You'll see, Kite. The things he does for you... ginagawa niya 'yon kasi espesyal ka sa kaniya.

Raven: JM is right. Chin up lang, girl. We'll help you get your man ;)

Kite: totoo? :<

JM: Damn you guys would be a great couple

Can't blame you for falling for him. Deep voice, expressive eyes, tapos kissable lips?

Kite: don't remind me oh my god
I freaking stared at his lips!!

Well he stared at mine, too

Pero kahit na, nakakahiya!!! Gahd kainin sana ako ng lupa

Raven: hahahah quits naman kayo
Dapat tinuloy mo na, ikaw na humalik

Kite: bakit ako??!! Edi nahimatay ako?

JM: hahahah your dramatic side would always be so entertaining

Kite:
shocks I don't know how to face him again

Feeling ko malalaman niya agad

Raven: edi act normal

Kite: That's hard because now I'm gonna be hyper-aware of everything he does

At lahat bibigyan ko ng meaning kahit di sinasadya. Dahil lang may gusto ako sakaniya

All these Taylor Swift songs are now making sense. Oh my god. It feels weird to fall for someone who doesn't know what you feel.

Raven: basta, Kite. Trust in what you feel. Isa pa, tanga na lang siya kung papakawalan ka niya.

Kite: don't tell him anything okay? Don't tell anyone. I want him to fall naturally. I want him to admit that he likes me too.

I'll make it happen. For now, let it happen in my dreams.

JM: Don't shower him with kisses in your dreams, Kite 😆

@kiteinspace: The eye contacts, the lingering silence, the intellectual talks, and the way I wanted to see you over and over again... I knew. I fell for you faster than the gravity can make me do.

@kiteinspace: si JM talaga! I won't be dreaming of my crush kissing me. It should be in real life! One day, maybe... #manifesting
