Hey. Is that you that I see standing in the front of our building?
Zavi:
Yeah...I think.
What are you doing here?
Zavi:
Napadaan lang.
I'm sorry. I won't be able to go down pa. Tinatanaw lang kita mula sa bintana.
May prof pa kasi.
Look up.
Zavi:
Yes. I see you.
You look tired.
Zavi:
Kakatapos lang ng quiz sa dalawang subject at recit.
Really? Is it that hard?
Zavi:
Yeah.
And you went here because...?
Zavi:
I went to see my friends. I remembered that you also study here so I asked what building you're staying at.
You asked who?
Zavi:
Not Jasper. Don't worry.
Lol.
Wait. Where are you studying ba?
Zavi:
Dyan lang.
Saang 'dyan'? 🙄
Zavi:
UP.
Woah, really?
Zavi:
Yeah.
You must be really smart, then.
Zavi:
Nah.
Wow, pa-humble.
Dyan ka 'din nag-college?
Zavi:
Yes.
Oh. Brainy. 🤓
Zavi:
No. I'm just lucky enough to survive.
Whatever you say, smartass.
Anyways, I'll be going down na. Kakadismiss lang, eh. Just wait for me.
Zavi:
Yeah, sure.
We're friends, right?
Zavi:
Right.
Then can I be honest with you?
Zavi:
Shoot.
I feel comfortable with you.
I know it's messy because we just started talking recently and you're my ex but not my ex's friend.
But I'm really looking forward to this friendship.
Zavi:
I'm glad to hear that.
Just...feel comfortable around me. I won't mind.
And I'm sure Jasper won't mind, too. Like I said, I feel sorry for him because he don't know what he's missing.
I'm sure that he'll be sorry for the rest of his life.
Grabe naman 'yun HAHHAHAHA
But thanks. Really.
You've been good to me.
Zavi:
You deserve to be treated well.
Thanks for saying that.
It means a lot.
Zavi:
Anytime.
Eto na. Naglalakad na ako palabas.
I see you.
Zavi:
I see you, too.
