casper:

eus, you looked sleep-deprived.

Nakatulog ka ba? O nagpuyat ka na naman?

Are you still talking to Trenton?

eustace:

Uh, medyo wala nga akong tulog.

But I'm fine.

Trent told me you guys are friends, bakit hindi mo agad sinabi sa 'kin? I'm sure you saw him at school that time, 'yung sa exhibit.

casper:

friends

He told you that? Well, ig.

We were friends.

I can see you right now, mukhang naliliyo ka. Ibaba mo muna phone mo, I'll bring you to the school clinic.

eustace:

no...

no need

What's with the past tense, cas?

casper:

Eus, now that we're talking about him.

I think you should start avoiding Trenton. Hindi kita gustong pangunahan sa decisions mo, I don't wanna lead you, instead I want to guide you.

We were friends. But not anymore, for a certain reason.

eustace:

what are you talking about?

Why would I avoid him? I mean, he's nice, very sweet, kind and gentle. He understands me Cas, I just felt like I already found someone who definitely understands me. So why?

And, Cas...

I don't want your personal reasons to affect me, unless you tell me what is it.

casper:

I just don't want you to get hurt.

Trenton, likes treating girls that way. He's like that to every girl. Ayokong masaktan ka lang. I don't want you to became insecure again. I'm sorry.

Pupunta na ako riyan, wait for me please.

eustace:

No

I think, you should stay away from me first.

Pupunta ako sa clinic mag-isa,
just let me think of things.

Hayaan mo muna ako, I just don't really understand. Maybe, I'll figured it out myself.
