Mr. Top 1: I love you.

Lumaki ang mata ko dahil sa message niya. Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko.
Parang sinumang lumapit sa akin ay makarinig ng tibok ng puso ko.

Somehow I still got the courage to call him and surprisingly, he answered.

"Hoy! Kung gusto mo mag amin na gusto mo ako, gawin mo naman sa real life!" I told him and just laughed at my response.

"It was a joke! Di kaba proud sakin?" He replied.

"Oh, I'm so proud of you anak," I said sarcastically.

"Is that the new kink or something?" He chuckled.

"Kace! Ano ba! Napakamanyakis mo!" I replied with a disgusted tone.

"Nag sabi yung hindi manyak."

"Hoy! Hindi ako manyak! Landi yung tawag doon!"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry," He said still laughing.

"Ewan ko sayo, ayoko na!" I said irritated.

"Sorry na!"

"Ayoko na! Taposin na natin yung relasyon na to!" I said sarcastically

"Wala naman tayo eh." He laughed

"Kahit na! May label o wala, ayoko na."

"Sorry na," He said with a playful voice.

"Bahala ka sa buhay mo" I tried not to laugh and ended the call.

Natapos na yung mga classes ko sa umaga, lumakad ako as campus kasama si Maya.

I rode in Maya's car today because my dad brought it to be customized.

"Pupunta sila Amalia ngayon?" Tanong ko kay Maya

"Hindi ata, Si Amalia masama pakiramdam so she couldn't attend her classes at UST, Si Val at Amber busy sa La salle sabi sakin ni Levi." Sagot ni Maya.

"Ah okay, may gagawin ka pa diba?" I reminded her.

"Oo, pero ayoko wala kang kasama." Sabi ni Maya.

"Okay lang ako, go na. Mas importante grades mo sakin" I told her

"Sige, take care." She said and left.

Lumakad ako papunta as bench.
Suddenly someone put their arm on my around my shoulder.

I looked at who it was, Kace?
Honestly I'm not even shocked anymore.

"Here, I'm sorry about being a 'manyakis' yesterday." He gave me ice cream.

"Thanks, why are you not with Colin?" I took the ice cream.

"They left to go drinking." He sighed.

I didn't even mind him putting his arm around me, I don't know why but my heart started beating fast again.

"Don't we still have classes later?" I asked him and as he ate his ice cream.

"All of the staff will be having a conference after lunch, so students can go now" He informed me.

"Oh, well aren't you going with them?" I asked eating my ice cream.

"No, I saw you walking alone, so I wanted to go with you" He replied.

"Okay lang ako, Pupunta nalang ako as La salle." I smiled at him and ate ice cream.

"No, it's fine, I don't want to drink right now." He argued.
