"The thing is my marshmallow, from the day you stared into my eyes you—akin ka."

"Akin ka."

"Aaaahh! No! No! Kulog ka! Kulog ka!" marahan kong kinusot ang buhok ko, not minding kung mukha ng bird's nest ang buhok ko. Thunder's statement echoed in my head.

And to make it worst— hindi ko makalimutan ang sinabi niya I fucking hate/love it. Bwesit na buhay naman oh! Kung bakit ba kasi si Kulog pa!

After he said those words kanina. I did the most wisest and bestest thing that I could do.

Tumakbo ako.

Yes. Stupid, I know. No need to brag.

Oo, tanga ka talaga. And dami na ngang tanga sa mundo dumagdag ka pa!

Napapikit ako ng mariin at kinusot ang mata ko. A yawn escaped from my mouth as I stared at my clock. A big 12:46 AM is displayed on it. Napahilamos ako sa mukha ko.

Please, I just need some sleep. May pasok pa ako bukas. Patuligin mo na ako kulog! Ang malas mo talaga sa buhay ko. Bakit mo pa kasi ako ginulo. My life was so peaceful for almost 4 years ko sa Grande Academy, our school's name.

Yes, it's weird. Kapag naririnig ko ang pangalan ng school namin naala ko si Ariana Grande. Sosyal.

Bumuntong hininga ako at humiga ulit sa kama. Tinitigan ko ang ceiling ng kwarto ko without blinking.I stared at it like it was the most interesting thing in the world. What can I say.. gusto ko lang makatulog.

Maybe staring at your ceiling can help you sleep.

"Akin ka."

"Aaaahhh! Bwesit! Bwesit! Bwesit ka kulog! Nakakainis!" nanggigigil kong bigkas habang kinakagat ko ang unan dahil sa inis. Bakit ba kaai niya sinabi yun?

Does he l-like me?

Naaah, trip trip lang yun Zeleny. Baka naka-drugs siya kaya niya nasabi 'yun. Yes that's it! Siguro nakasinghot siya ng katol. O di kaya naman, nakainom siya ng shampoo. Okay, I get it now. Of course he doesn't like me.

It's impossible!

Para akong nasa episode ng walking dead habang naglalakad sa hallway. Kahit na puyat ako I insisted na pumasok talaga sa school. I don't wanna missed a day na wala si Thunder sa school 'noh. Nakakabanas yung mukha nun. Kainis. Bakit ko ba kasi siya iniisip?

Why? Why delilah! Did he put something- like magical spell on me? Sabi ko na nga ba eh. Aswang talaga yung kulog na 'yun. Kaya siguro long hair siya.

Pero ang gwapo niya namang aswang. It can't be.

Maybe he's a witch kaya gwapo siya. Maybe he's already a hundred years old pero nagpapanggap lang siyang nineteen years old. Yes, that's it!

I frozed at napanganga ako dahil sa nakikita ko.

"What the..." I muttered in disbelief.

I blinked several time, hoping my vision is playing tricks me.

Please tell me I'm dreaming. Please, Please. Oh god! Bakit siya nandito? Why so soon? It's not yet time for him to return this soon. Oh no god!
