Bea's POV
"Bea"she said when we were already in her car. She dragged me here and I don't even know what's going on.
"Jho,what's happening?"
"Someone wants to talk to you"
"What? Sino? If it's EJ,please I-----"
"Sshhh. It's me,okay? Let's go"I was caught off guard kasi she put my seatbealt on and I swear I just lost 5 seconds of breathing. What the hell,Beadel?
She started driving and I don't know where we're going so I just leaned my head on the window and she turned the radio on.
"And I got all that I need
Right here in the passenger seat"she sang those words like she's talking to me but I didn't bother because I'm a bit sleepy and I thought we have our training.Sht.
"Jho,we still have our training!"
"Chill,Bea. Something came up so wala"
"What?"she just shrugged her shoulders and winked at me,I swear I'm getting annoyed already plus the fact that I have a feeling na something bad is going to happen.
"Don't english me,Bea"I rolled my eyes and she just laughed. How many times did I tell you that this girl is impossible? Really impossible. Tss.
"Bea
Bea
Bea Bea
Bea Bea
Bea Bea"
Why does she keep on singing that? And she keeps on saying Bea and she calls me Bea while the other night she called me B.
"Jho,why aren't you calling me B?"she was shocked but she managed to recover,"I mean, yeah Bea is a bit longer than B you know and I'm getting used to it kasi Mads is calling me B"
"Exactly"that was just her answer and I didn't get it.
"What exactly?"
"Bea,tigil-tigilan mo ako sa English mo baka dumugo ulit ilong ko"
"Aish. Tell me kasi"
"We're here"
And ngayon ko lang nanoticed na we're at P. Noval St.
"España"
"UST"
"EJ"
Before I could nag she dragged me out of her car and went upstairs,AYC.
She ordered some frappe,fries and burger. What's happening?
"Bea,let's eat. Gutom na ako"
She didn't even bother if she eats like a child so kumain na din ako and we talk about things like when she and Ponggay shared rooms dati with Deanna tapos sobrang kulit daw nila.
Jho,why are you being like this? Why are you being so sweet? I never had a friend like you before. Please,don't leave me.
"Bea,kapag ba may humingi ng second chance sayo bibigyan mo?"
"If that someone deserves it then I will"
"Really? So,if someone asks you right now as in right now if they can have you back,would you say yes?"
"You spoke 22 english words diretso. Nasasanay ka na sa akin ah"
"Bea,sagutin mo na kasi"
"Yes,I guess?"
"Okay"
She took her phone and I think she texted someone.
"Bea"
"Yes?"
"Ang second chance ay ibinibigay sa mga taong nangangailangan nito at sana pagbigyan mo. Pakinggan mo ang puso mo"
"Why are you saying this?"
"Basta,maiintindihan mo din"
Hinila niya na ako and she drove towards UST. Oh my God! Sinasabi ko na nga ba eh.
"Jho"
"Bea,please. EJ has been my friend since you left"
"But---Jho"
"Trust me,Bea. Follow your heart"
Hinatid niya ako sa may gym nila and I was standing there with her. I held her hand and she gave me smile,a reassuring one.
"EJ"she hugged me and felt Jho let go of my hand.
"I'll see you both later"she said,EJ smiled and Jho just left.
Jho's POV
I'm so happy to have them back together. Ay teka,bakit ako nag-ienglish?
Ayun,after nung insidente sa UST ay nandito na ngayon si Bea sa sasakyan ko at sobrang saya. Hawak pa nga yung phone eh,halatang kinikilig. Haay,pag-ibig nga naman.
"Jho,thank you"yun lang ang sabi niya at niyakap ako. Wow,damang dama ko yung happiness niya.
"You're always welcome. Teka,magkwento ka nga"
"Eh,I'm shy. Maybe,next time?"
Tumango lang ako nagdrive na papunta sa Ateneo at kung minamalas ka nga naman oh. Naabutan pa ng traffic. Nahihilo na nga ako dito. Tsk.
"Bea,paabot naman ng tubig"pero hindi niya ata narinig kasi pagtingin ko sa kaniya eh nakaearphones siya at nagheheadbang pa. Tsk. Mamaya na nga lang ako iinom baka mabangga pa kami.
Hay nako,Bea. Sana lagi kang ganiyan,lagi kang masaya kasi alam ko at ramdam ko na sobrang sakit ng kinikimkim mo dyan sa loob mo. Alam kong natatakot ka at alam kong hindi mo pa kaya.
Basta ako? Andito lang ako lagi para sayo Isabel Beatriz De Leon,andito lang si Jhoana Louisse Maraguinot para sayo.

"Bea,Bea wake up"nakarating na kami sa Ateneo at nakapark na din yung kotse ko. Nakainom na din ako at itong Bea na 'to eh tulog na tulog pa sa sasakyan ko.
"Hmmm"
"Bea,andito na tayo"nagdilat naman siya ng mata niya at napatingin sa phone. Gabi na mga 6 na din naman."Baba na,Bea"
"Why do you call me Bea and not B again? You didn't answer me kanina"
"Andyan naman si Mads eh,tinatawag kang B"nagulat naman yung mukha niya at napangiti
"Kaya pala!"
"Kaya pala ano?"
"Wala lang. Let's go"at siya na mismo ang humila sa akin papasok sa Eliazo. Hay nako talaga.
Sumunod naman na ako kasi gabi na at naabutan namin sila kumakain na ng dinner. Nagpaalam naman muna ako na aakyat pero rinig kong nagpaalam din si Bea at pagkapasok ko eh ganun din naman siya.
"So,tell me"
"Ako ba?"sabay turo ko sa sarili ko kasi baka hindi ako ang kausap niya eh.
"Yes"
"Bakit ako?"
"Tell me,Jho. You're jealous ba of Maddie calling me B?"
"Ha? Issue ka ha"sabi ko sabay alis kunwari sa sapatos ko. Ang kulit naman ng batang ito.
"Say it. I won't laugh"
So ayun,sinabi ko sa kaniya.
"Ayaw ko lang naman na may kahati ganun basta eh kasi ako ang nauna eh so dapat ako lang walang ibang tatawag sayo ng B"
"I see. Why don't call me some other endearments like baby,love,honey,babe or sweetie?"
"Ha? Sinasabi mo dyan?"
"Tsk. Come on,Beh. Let's eat na"sabi niya at inakbayan ako habang inaakay pababa.
"O-okay,B--Beh"
