Narrator's POV:

Before Terry could utter a word, both of them were shocked to hear ann's voice

ann: oh.. terry, you're already here. I thought you'd pick me up by nine? it's still early.

Terry: i just feel to come before time (smiles) where have you been?

ann: uh.. i just bought something..

Terry: Ice cream, am i right?

ann: (licks her lips) no..

Terry: (chuckles) just make sure that you have your breakfast before eating that.

ann: (chuckles nervously) it's because we ran out of stock..

Terry: (sighs) so.. are you ready?

Ann: (nods) yep..

Terry: good. I'll wait for you here..

James: hey ann.. did your mom know about this?

ann: well... they're on a vacation..so..

James: (looks at terry) did you ask for her mom's permission?

terry: i have fretzie's..

JAmes: Fretzie is her sister, not her mother.

Terry: so?

James: (clears his throat) ann.. it's better if you stay here..

Terry: whata re you saying? we already planned for this. I have Fretzie's permission.

James: (looks at ann) your mom called me last night. Sorry if I wasn't able to tell you. They will be back this afternoon so it's better for you to stay here so taht we'll welcome them later. They also said that i should be taking care of you. And I won't allow you to go with this stranger.

Terry: (glares ta james) her parents know me.

james: (looks at terry) i know. but for me, you're still a stranger.. I just met you so back off.

Ann: James! Stop it! i don't know what my mom told you but i know she'll understand. I'll be the one to tell her..

James: no.

Ann: JAMES! why are you being like this all of a sudden?!

Terry: (smiles sacrcastically) okay..

ann: later?

terry: your parents will be home this afternoon right? I'll be there at your place..(smileS)

ann: oh right! (chuckles) i wonder what would my mom say if she sees you (snorts)

jameS: (laughs)

ann: why are you laughing?

jameS: because you asked a funny question!

ann: funny?!

james: hey (snorts) don't get the wrong idea.. i'm just doing this because of responsibility..

ann: friends?

james: what else could it be?

ann: (looks down) well (scoffs) as expected from James Reid..(controld her tears) all you wanted is for me to be your FRIEND..

(Author's note: haaaaayyy.. bestfriends lang ba talaga ang jamli? bat kaya ganun noh? sa mga poppers out there.. you know everything :( nakaksad lang.. pati kasi sa pagsusulat ko dito, naghahari ang pagiging popper ko. pero okay lang! at least ang friendship nagtatagal diba? :( nakakasad nga lang :< )

ann: yeah right james.. if walking-out is my talent, yours is changing the topic.. (sighs)

james: maybe, it's better for us to be friends..
