Series of flashbacks guys. Yung mga naka italic flashback yun. Yung normal naman present time. Gets? Hahahaha enjoy!

*Drei's PoV*

Ever wonder when do i start noticing, liking and loving Arielle Marie Guevarra?

Because she, herself is damn curious.

"When do you start noticing me?" She asked while reading a book. It's her nth time asking the same question.

"It was a long time ago" i answered.

I'm here at Arielle's house, she's busy reading her book while I'm also busy sketching.

She close the book that she's holding. Loudly.

"Interesting tong novel na to, pero mas mukhang interesting yung malaman ko kung kelan mo ako unang napansin" she said while grinning.

I rolled my eyes at her, natawa naman sya. She's really a weird girl.

"Dali na! Kwento mo sa akin kung kelan" she said.

"Matagal na yun" i answered. Laughing.

She's really curious, huh?

"Do you really want to know?" I asked.

She's grinning as if she's teasing me.

"Yeah, dali na. Promise makikinig ako" she said.

"Mamaya, I'm busy with my sketch" sagot ko.

She crossed her arms, like a child and pouted.

"Mamaya mo na kasi akong idrawing" she said.

I immediately closed my sketchpad, how did she know?

"Wag kang feeler" bored kong sabi.

"Wag kang liar" she said with the same tone as mine.

We become silent.

Then that's it. I'll tell her everything.

"Why do you want to know" tanong ko.

"Just curious" she said.

I sighed in defeat.

I stared at her. She looks like a little girl waiting for me to tell her favorite Disney princess story.

Too adorable for her own good. Just how can i resist her?

"Pagsinabi ko ba sayo lahat, sasagutin mo na ako?" I asked.

Nagisip sya. Then she smiled and here we go again, my heart can't stop on beating so fast whenever she smiles.

"Maybe yes...maybe no. Depende sa kwento mo" she said.

I laugh.

"Una kitang napansin nung enrollment" i said.

Flashback~

"Bro ang daming chickas!" Sabi ni Gabby.

"Grabe gaganda!" Sabi ni Ken.

Hindi ko na lang sila pinansin, I'm really annoyed because of these people. Tsk ang daming tao.

I hate crowded places. But i have no choice, kailangan kong mag-enroll.

Inakbayan ako ni Gabby. One of my friends. The other one is Ken and the other one is Thor, who's busy texting.

"Bro, maghanap ka na ng chickas! Don't tell me di ka pa naka-move on sa ex mo?!" Natatawang sabi nya.

"Naka-move na ako, matagal na" i answered in a bored manner.

"Kanina nakakita ako ng chickas, ang tangkad. Pang miss universe" sabi ni Ken.

We are walking towards the registrar's office to get some forms.

"Ako din kaya! Maiksi yung hair nya ang cute" sabi ni Gabby

"Do you know their names?" Biglang tanong ni Thor.

Sabay na umiling yung dalawa.

"Hahaha mahina pala kayo eh, ako nakakita na nung nag-take ako ng exam. I already know her name plus i got her number" sabi nya tapos tinaas yung phone nya.

Ken and Gabby? Speechless.

"How to be you po?" Gabby aksed Thor.

"Teach me master hokage" dagdag ni Ken.

Mga baliw. I can't imagine. How did they became my friends?

Ken and Gabby were my highschool friend, Thor is the son of my dad's friend. We decided to enroll in the same school.

They kept on talking about the girls they've met, the girls that they notice. Puro babae. Tsk.

I chose not to mind them. Then there's this one girl caught my attention.

She is running as if she's in a marathor or a race or something. Weird girl.

"Oi miss, bawal tumakbo sa hallway!" Sita ng guard sa kanya.

Some students looked at her and started whispering. But she doesn't care. She slowed down as she walks towards us.

I met her eyes but she immediately look away. After she pass us, she resumes on running. What a weird girl.

Hinarap naman ako ng tatlo while grinning. Mga siraulo.

"Yun na ba?" Gabby asked.

"She's weird" i said.

Running in the middle of the crowd, not minding the people around her. Indeed weird.

End of flashback ~

"You think I'm weird?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nya.

I laughed and nodded.

She pouted and started whispering.

"Nagmamadali kasi ako, gahd nakakahiya!" She whispered. Pero narinig ko naman.

"Is that the time when you started to have a crush on me?" I asked while grinning.

Her eyes grew big and her cheeks turned red.

Hinampas nya yung unan sa akin.

"Kapal mo! Hindi ah" she said. Still blushing. Hahaha.

She hugged the pillow to hide her face. How adorable. Ugh.

"Dun mo lang ako napansin?" She asked.

I stared at her. Her face is still on the pillow, weird. Hahaha

"Well, I've noticed you many times. Nakakasalubong kita, nadadaan. I saw you when we were playing basketball, i also saw you in the field while raining. I saw you in the library alone, i saw y--"

She cut me off.

"In the library alone?" She asked.

That's the first time that i found her cute. I laughed.

"Yeah, it's prelims week back then.

Flashback~

Today's the preliminary exam on Algebra and guess what? I haven't study yet. Tsk.

I went straight to the library. Maybe i can borrow a book related to that subject.

Mabilis akong pumunta sa math section ng library, those girls, they're so annoying. They kept on looking at me as if it was their first time to see a human. Tssssss.

Mas lalo akong nainis nung hindi ko makita yung College Algebra book na hinahanap ko. Now i have to ask the librarian about it.

I calm myself as i walk towards the front desk.

"Excuse me, where's the College Algebra book by J. Houston?" I asked politely.

Humarap yung babae sa akin then she started blushing. Wtf?!

"D-Drei?" She stuttered. Ugh damn it.

I nodded in response.

"Where's the book?" I asked, a bit annoyed.

"Ah w-wait titignan ko lang kung h-hiniram" she said and started looking at the log book.

I waited. Damn i hate waiting.

I was about to go but she stopped me, akala ko mahihiram ko na yung book, but fck!

"Ah D-Drei, hiniram yung book eh, b-balik ka na lang mamaya" she said while blushing.

I gave her a bored look, kaya nga aalis na ako di ba? Ugh girls?!

Umalis na ako, i search for a seat where i can review my notes silently. I chose the seat near the window. I started reading my notes, quietly. But someone broke the silence.

"Ugh nakakainis ang hirap!" She whispered bago yumuko sa lamesa. She's sitting alone on a table parallel to mine.

I was staring at her but then umangat yung ulo nya, medyo nagulat ako. Nakapikit sya, looking a bit stressed. Ang gulo ng buhok nya tapos nakasalamin din sya.

She tied her hair using a pencil and fix her glasses.

"Kaya mo to" She said while slapping her face. Tssss. Weird.

I think i met her before.

I stared at her again. Now i remember, she's the girl on the enrollment day.

She resumes on writing. But later on she will just crumple her paper. Ano bang ginagawa nya?

Then i saw the book that she's reading. It was the book that I've been looking for. Algebra book.

The whole time i was looking at her. I don't think she's studying. Napailing ako.

Yuyuko sya sa lamesa, paglalaruan yung kuko nya, lilinisin yung salamin nya, matutulala na lang bigla, etc etc.

And now, pinaglalaruan nya yung pencil nya tapos ilalagay nya sa nguso nya.

Which i found weird...but cute. I shook my head. Wtf?!

I should be studying not staring at this weird girl in front of me.

Tumayo na ako at umalis na library, but still i can't get her out of my head.

Something in me, wants to know her name. Wtf?! Drei!

End of Flashback~

"You were there?!" Gulat na tanong nya.

Natawa ako. Her reaction was really priceless!

"Yes, my princess. I was there, staring at you the whole time" i answered while laughing.

Tinakpan nya ng unan yung mukha nya. Probably she's blushing.

"Tapos gusto mong malaman yung pangalan ko nun pa lang?" Tanong nya.

I nodded while grinning. Nakakatuwa talaga syang asarin eh.

Hindi na sya kumikibo, still the pillow is on her face. Cute.

"You wanna know where do i first know your name?" I asked her.

Binaba nya yung unan, still covering the half of her face. She never fails to amaze me everytime. I'd never thought that we will be this close, I'd never thought that i will be falling for her over and over again.

She nodded as an answer.

"Are you sure?" I asked while grinning. She's the only one that can make me smile like an idiot. Wow.

"Oo nga" sagot nya.

Natawa ako, she'll kill me after this hahahahaha.

"Nalaman ko yung pangalan mo after i got your notebook" i said.

Kumunot yung noo nya.

"Nakalimutan mo na?" I asked.

She nodded. Damn this girl. She'll gonna kill me.

I laugh.

"Ipapaalala ko sayo" i said still laughing.

Flashback~

It's really damn boring. Tsk can't help but to feel sleepy. Busy naman yung tatlo sa phone nila, might as well join them. I fished my phone from my pocket.

Damn! Wala namang nagbago eh! Boring pa rin. Fb, twitter. Ugh, i wanna go out!

*beep!*

One question received

kilala mo ba si Arielle Marie Guevarra?

-anonymous

"Who's Arielle?" I asked to myself in a whispering manner.

"Si Arielle? Sya yung kaibigan nung crush ko, si Nadia. Remember?" Sagot ni Thor.

I'm not asking him, though.

"Oi ikaw Drei ah! Si Arielle pala" asar ni Thor. Tssss.

Di ko sya pinansin instead i answer the question out of my boredomness.

Me : ya -_____-

I just keep on scrolling. Damn! Bakit ang bagal ng oras?!

*beep!*

Bakit ang sungit mo?

-anonymous

Ako masungit? Wth?!

"Masungit ba ako?" I asked them. Thor, Ken and Gabby.

They just stared at me. What the?!

"Ahm Ken masungit daw ba sya?" Tanong ni Thor kay Ken.

"Ha? Ah Gabby! Masungit ba?" Tanong ni Ken kay Gabby.

Great.

Lumingon naman si Gabby sa tabi nya but no one's there.

"Gabby! Masungit ba si Drei?" He asked himself. Napailing na lang ako sa kalokohan nila.

I rolled my eyes. Damn bakit ko nga ba sila naging kaibigan?

"Ahm wait Gabby mag-iisip lang ako" he said to himself. Nagtawanan naman yung dalawa.

"Gabby, ganito kasi yan, mukhang masungit si Drei pero mabait yan. Kung hindi yan naging mabait, bakit ka nya naging friend di ba?" He explain to himself. Nag-apir pa silang tatlo.

"So in short, friendly si Drei" He said to himself.

Ayun hindi na nila napigilan yung tawanan nila. Ugh!

Hindi ko na lang sila pinansin baka kasi madamay pa ako sa kalokohan nila. Tsk.

I answer the damn question.

Me: hindi ah, friendly kaya ako :)

Tsssss. Why am i wasting my time? Oh i forgot i have a lot of time. Tsk!

I continued scrolling down to see the old questions that i have answered.

Question: say 'Hi' to Arielle please?

Me: Hi Arielle :)

Q: anong gusto mo sa babae?

Me: sorry mataas yung standards ko eh :)

Wait. Di ko maalala to ah! Ngayon ko lang nakita to, then i turn my gaze to the three idiots beside me. Yep, they must've used my damn phone.

Q: May crush ka na ba?

Me: ya -___-

Q: Anong first letter ng name nya?

Me: I

Damn it! I can't even remember answering these questions! Mga siraulo talaga yung kaibigan ko eh.

"I? For Inah?" I whispered. Yung nirereto ni Gabby sa akin?

"Oi i heard you said Inah" sabi ni Gabby as he wriggle his eyebrows.

"No way bro! May natipuhan ka din at last!" Sabat ni Ken.

"Make a move, bro" suggest ni Thor.

As much as i want to strangle them to death, i remember I'm too lazy to do it.

"Ok guys, we will have a quiz next meeting better be prepared" damn it! Hindi ako nakinig!

*beep!*

One question received

Gusto mo ba yung babaeng magaling kumanta?

-anonymous

Who the heck is this? Tsk.

Me: yes. sino ba to? PM me.

I want to know who's the person who keeps on  asking me. Feeling ko iisang tao lang yung nagtatanong.

"Class dismissed" thank God!

Mabilis ako lumabas ng room, nakasunod naman yung tatlo.

"KFC tayo guys! Gutom na ako" reklamo ni Thor.

"Una na kayo sa parking lot, may kukunin lang ako sa locker" i said. Tumango naman silang tatlo.

Ugh! Dismissal na rin ng ibang klase, just imagine the hallway! Ang daming tao! And their staring at me, the girls -_______-

"tigilan nyo ng magtanong kay Drei sa ask.fm ah"

Says by the girl who's walking in front of me, sinong kausap nito?

"SIGE WAG KA NA MAGTANONG KAY DREI SA ASK.FM ARIELLE MARIE GUEVARRA!"

What's with the shouting behind my back?! Ugh annoying! Kung tawagin nila yung pangalan ko parang wala ako dito eh.

"OO NGA WAG KA NA MAGTANONG KAY DREI!"

"PURO PA NAMAN ARIELLE YUNG TANONG SA ASK.FM NI DREI!"

The girl in front of me stopped walking then lumingon sya.

Her eyes and mouth are widely open. She's also blushing, which i find it real cute. What the?!

As much as i want to smile and laugh because of her reaction, i remain pokerfaced.

Yumuko sya then immediately turns her back on me and started walking real fast.

I heard her friends laughing like hell as they followed her. Then i noticed Thor's crush, si Nadia. So the girl who's in front of me is probably Arielle. And she's also the girl in the library.

Wait, what's this?

I quickly pick the notebook up. Nalaglag nya siguro?

I walk towards the locker, ilalagay ko na din sana yung notebook nya kaso naalala kong hindi nga pala sa akin to, ipapabibigay ko na lang kay Thor.

Tatawagan ko sana si Thor, para sabihin yung tungkol sa notebook, kailangan maibalik agad to, baka kasi may exam sila or something. Kaso nabitawan ko yung notebook...

Then i saw my name written there. I got curious so i read it. All.

This isn't a simple notebook, it's a diary. Written letters for me made by Arielle Marie.

I stayed longer in the locker area. Hindi ko alam kung anong meron sa akin, i just want to read the notebook and hindi ako naiinis.

Madalas kasi naiinis ako kapag may babaeng nagcoconfess sa akin through love letters, i don't know why?

Pero this. This notebook. Arielle Marie Guevarra. Bakit hindi ako naiinis more like natutuwa pa ako.

"Bro! Putcha naman gutom na ako!" Reklamo ni Thor.

Mabilis kong sinara yung notebook. At nilagay ko sa bag ko.

"Tara na" i said.

Sumunod naman sila sa akin.

"Bro what's with the goofy smile?" Tanong ni Ken.

Am i smiling?

"Inlababo si Alexandrei! Beybeh! Nakita mo si Inah?" Tanong ni Gabby.

Hindi si Inah yung dahilan ng pagngiti ko, bro.

Mabilis kaming nagpunta sa KFC. Gutom na din kasi ako.

"Oi sila Nadia" sabi ni Thor.

I immediately look for the owner of the notebook, she's eating. Ang dami nyang kinakain!

Kinalabit ko si Thor, i showed him the notebook.

"Ibalik mo sa kaibigan ng crush mo" i said.

Ngumisi sya. Ok, i don't like it when he's like that. Parang may masamang balak.

"Bakit hindi ikaw yung magbalik?" He said. Tapos hinila nya ako papalapit sa table nila.

What the hell?!

"Hi Nadia!" Bati ni Thor.

Lahat sila lumingon sa amin.

"ibabalik lang ni Drei yung napulot nya kaninang umaga" sabi ni Thor.

Sasapakin ko mamaya to si Thor.

Kain lang ng kain si Arielle, she can't even look at me.

Nilagay ko yung notebook nya sa tapat nya.

"Oh" i said.

Her eyes grew big. Gusto kong matawa sa reaction nya eh.

*coughs! coughs!*

"N-nabasa mo?" Mahinang tanong nya.

"Oo" sagot ko. Wala namang rason para magsinungaling ako di ba?

Natahimik silang lahat. Awkward silence it is.

"ah ano aalis na pala kami guys naman late na tayo!!!" Sabi nung isang kaibigan ni Thor, highschool friend nya  i guess?

Napatingin si Arielle sa relo nya.

"Gosh!" She said.

Kinuha nya yung notebook at bag nya tapos mabilis na umalis.

"Anong nangyari?" Tanong ni Thor.

I just shrug. Hindi ko din alam.

Nah! Sinong niloko ko? Of course nahihiya sya kasi nabasa ko yung notebook nya.

Natapos yung araw ng mabilis. Bumalik kami sa school, natapos yung klase tapos umuwi na.

I'm so exhausted. Nahiga ako sa kama ko. Hindi pa rin maalis yung notebook nya sa utak ko.

Then there's this weird thing happening to me, i can't help but smile, pag naalala ko yung reaction nya pati yung mga sulat nya sa notebook.

Damn it!  Masama to!

*beep!*

One notification: one new follower via blogpost app

Arielle Marie followed you

So she has a blog?

I followed her back. It means makikita ko yung mga posts nya.

And guess what's her first blog post?

Dear Crush,

pakialamero ka pala :(

Love,
Arielle Marie

So dito na sya magsusulat huh?

I immediately frown.

Bakit ba kasi bigla na lang akong nangingiti?! Fck!

End of Flashback~

*kruu~...kruu~*

Dead silence. Walang kumikibo after kong magkwento.

I stared at her. Tulala lang sya.

Damn it! Alam na nyang nababasa ko lahat!

Nagulat ako nung tumayo sya tapos patakbong umakyat sa taas.

Wth?!

"Arielle!" Sigaw ko.

*boogsh!*

Sinaraduhan nya ako ng pinto. Fck!

*tok!tok!tok!*

"Arielle! I'm sorry! Dapat matagal ko ng sinabi to sayo eh" i said.

*tok!tok!tok!*

"Arielle let me in" sabi ko.

"Umuwi ka na Drei, inaantok na ako" she said. I guess she's on the other side of the door.

"Galit ka?" I asked,

"No, inaantok lang ako" she said.

Damn it!

Umalis ako sa bahay nila.

Nagsisisi ako! Bakit ko ba sinabi?

Ayokong magtago sa kanya, ayokong mag-sikreto sa kanya.

Sabi na nga ba eh,

She'll kill me.

Tsk!

Dapat magbati kami agad! Ugh Drei you're damn stupid!
