[Umm...]

"Hey, Yanisa."

[I-I have a question.]

"What is it?"

[Ash, did we k-kiss?]

"Huh?"

[Kanina... you know. Sa pantry?]

"Ah, that one."

"No, I just accidentally brushed our lips. I'm sorry."

[Ah. Okay.]

"Is it bothering you?"

[Kind of...]

"I'm sorry."

"Was it your... first?"

[N-No. But... I don't know. Just please refrain from doing it again.]

"It was my first, if you ever consider that as a kiss," I said.

[No. No. It's not a kiss. Sabi mo nga, nag-brush lang. Just, Ash, you know... uh, let's please forget about it.]

[And besides, friends can't be that close to each other. We kinda crossed the line earlier.]

"I'm sorry. Fault's all mine."

[N-No. It's okay. Hindi naman sinasadya.]

"Hmm. Alright, then."

Silence...

[Did you...]

[Have you...]

"What are you trying to say, Yanisa?"

[W-Wala ka pang first kiss?]

"Meron."

[Ah. Yung childhood sweetheart mo?]

"Nope."

[Oh, sino?]

"Ikaw."

[What? No! Hindi nga k-kiss 'yun. Brush lang. I thought we were clear about that?]

"Yeah. But that's the closest I've ever been to a woman. So, that's my first kiss."

[Eh, okay...]

[Hindi talaga kayo nag-kiss no'ng childhood sweetheart mo? Sino nga ulit 'yun?]

"Morganne. Hindi."

[Oh, c'mon. Girlfriend mo tapos 'di kayo nag-kiss? Joke time ka rin eh.]

"She was never my girlfriend."

"Wala pa akong nagiging girlfriend."

[Get. Out.]

"What?"

[That's impossible! Sa gwapo mong 'yan! 'Yung dimples mo palang, my god! Pamatay na eh! 'Wag mo nga akong niloloko, Ash. Galawang playboy ba 'yan?]

"Gwapo pala ako, ha," I smiled.

Silence...

[Er. Uh. Yeah. That's a given. Ikaw ang bukambibig ng halos l-lahat ng teachers sa LIAM. Even Caselee and Eunnie. Pa-humble ka pa, as if hindi mo alam 'yun.]

"Okay."

[Hey!]

[Tumatawa ka ba?]

"No."
