I was walking around the campus. While looking around, I caught someone staring at me.

I looked at him and he walked towards me.

"Hey Celestia!" he genuinely said and smiled so wide.

"Yes cap?" I asked him and raised my eyebrows.

I remembered what Joreen said. He's the captain of our basketball team and he is the one who led our school to win during competition with another school. He's so jolly but I thought he's a serious type of a guy.

"Oh! Drop that cap! My name is Ijikeil," he lent his hands so I accepted it.

"Celestial," I introduced.

Kiel made a shocked face. "What a nice name! Nice to meet you Miss Celestia," he said and bowed to me.

"Why are you bowing?" I asked so curiously.

"Because you looked like a princess!" he teased me. But I didn't laugh.

Tatawa pa pala?

"Marunong ka ba mag tagalog? English ka ng English eh! Nag no-nose bleed na ako dito, tangina!" he said with an irritated voice and acted like there was a blood coming out from his nose and wiped it using his handkerchief.

"Wala naman lumalab-" he didn't let me finish my talk when he suddenly shouted.

"Ay! 'Yun! Marunong pala mag tagalog! Puta! Nag English English pa ako dito. Para akong tanga!" he said and laughed.

I looked at him head to toe. I observed him. He's handsome. He is so tall. I guess his height was 6 feet above? I think.

"Oh tama na 'yan tingin tingin mo d'yan! Alam ko naman gwapo ako eh!" he laughed and cover my eyes.

"6 foot ba height mo?" I asked suddenly.

Na bigla naman siya sa tanong ko. Pero sinagot niya parin.

"6'2," he answered .

"Kaya pala ang ta-"

Again. Hindi niya ako pinatapos sa pagsasalita.

"Wait! Dito ka nga!" he said and pulled me and used his palm to hide the sun hitting me. 

Pinapasilong niya ako sa gilid habang siya nasa harap ko pero nakikita parin na ang sobrang init — kasi natamaan parin siya kahit naka silong na kami.

"Thank you!" I said and smiled at him. I caught him looking away.

"Oh! Sige pupunta muna ako sa basketball court, mag practice lang!" he said and smiled.

"Okay. Sige paalam!" I said and waved my hand to him. He also did what I did.

Nag tambay nalang mo na ako dito at kinuha ang phone para magbabasa ng wattpad. May upuan naman kaya umupo nalang din muna ako.

"Celestial!" I heard a girl shouting my name from afar.

Oh! It's just Joreen.

"Rain! What do you want from me again?!" I asked her.

She will only come to me if something happens and she will spill the tea to me or a love problem or her acads problem.

"Nothin' problem, heavenly," she said and sat beside me.
