It happened when a business card appeared on the LCD screen:
Dean

“Woah. That’s fast.” I muttered under my breath. One of my closest friends knew him cause they belong in same course & year: AB Philosophy, Sophomore.
I texted her back. “Domo

When was it, when I first caught sight of him…?
Ahh right. We first met at a concert organized by their department. Their fund-raising concert benefiting an orphanage. I cant miss that , Urbandub’s there
So where was he…?
He plays the lead guitar on one of the side bands that night. John Dinopol-ish. Perhaps, thats why I immediately liked him (but unequal with Mr. Dinopol :3 heehee) I was with my friend that time (the same one who gave his number) and Im sure I was blabbing and blabbing about him that I was being out of myself and very much sure I adore the guy. Then those three words came…
“Wanna meet him?”
A wide grin affirms it.
—
“How come you’re not talking the whole time were with him, huh?
“Like what… would i even say?
“You like him.”
“But I did.”
“Eh? How come?”
“In my eyes and brain, I am screaming ‘I like you i like you you’re so hot!’ Hehe”
“Hehe. Coward.”
“Nah. I’ll just text him.”
“Weh… do you even have his number?”
“Heehee… that its up to YOU, my friend.”
—
” I totally like you ;>”
“Wh0 u?”
“Oh im sorry… I think you dont have to know.”
“What? Sin0 ka na nanaman?”
What the heck is this guy saying? I mumbled.
“Nanaman? I just said i like you that’s all. Byebye ;>”
…
“W8,” he replied. “Ok, f u dnt wnt to tell wh0 y0u are… r u gay?”
“Me? GAY? Hello… Do i sound gay? Perhaps, you are dude. Heehee.”
“kaw nga jan eh bgla bgla n lng txt… baka BAKLA k nga?“
“oh well, if that’s what ur thinking… then i must stop this shit. seriously, all i wanna say is that i really like you ever since i saw you walking out at rum 240 f ur socio-anthro class. that’s all. ja-ne! ;[ "

My friend exclaimed this:
" Waaahhh! Grabe ka na ah... Sinabi mo talaga yun?"
"Yeah. Straight to the point. Guys like it."
"So he didnt ask where you got his number? Ano pa ba pinag-usapan niyo ha? Tell me tell me!" *grinning+excite
"Like, nothing much. I just said how I already liked him, the first time I met him..."
"YOU MEAN NAGPAKILALA KA NAaaa~~?"
"... Tange... Siyempre, hindi. Where's the thrill dude if I were to do that? ^____^"
"Whoa...There's a plan ah... For what?"
"For what? A plan? ... Nothiiinggg~~~ heehee"
"ohmygashyoueviltwitch! okay, youre STALKING him no???"
"Stalk?! Stalking meant to do disturbance. Well, Im not. And I think, he's up to it :] “
“Siyempre ba naman tol. Guys like it when they feel they’re…”
