Yenn's POV


It's been months since the stupid frog's exaggerated ice cream scene. Today's already April 06, Yenn's supposed 18th birthday. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko palilipasin ang Sabado na 'to. Should I celebrate my fake debut?

Well, wala namang may alam ng birthday ni Yenn. So I guess I can just lock myself in my condo unit and binge some series.

At least that's what I thought.

Nagulat ako nang biglang may nagdoorbell sa unit ko. I checked the peephole and saw Xyril from the other side. Ano na namang kailangan ng palakang 'to?

"What?" I asked him pagkabukas ko ng pinto. He's wearing a black bomber jacket over a tank top and some running shorts.

He grinned excitedly. "Change your clothes. We're going somewhere."

Huh? Tinignan ko ang oras at wala pang alas otso ng umaga. Are we going for a morning run or something?

Napaisip ako at pinapasok muna siya sa unit ko. I have nothing planned for today, so I guess it's fine. Wala na rin naman akong dapat ipangamba dahil simula noong nangyaring halikan ay tinago ko na lahat ng ebidensya ng dati kong pagkatao.

Wala na siyang mahahanap at mahuhuli rito... if that's what he's here for.

I went to my bedroom to change. I had no idea where we're going so I just matched the frog and wore something sporty.

"Okay ka na?" tanong niya pagkalabas ko ng kwarto.

I nodded. "Is my attire appropriate?"

Tinignan niya ang suot kong sports bra, leggings, at hoodie at ngumisi. "Yeah, but even if it isn't, I bought you clothes."

I rolled my eyes. There's no way I'd willingly wear something from him 'no.

"You should probably wear contacts, though," dagdag niya maya-maya.

Hmm. If we're really doing something physical, hindi pwedeng nakaglasses ako. Fine.

Bumalik ako sa kwarto at binuksan ang cabinet ko. I only have two pairs of contact lenses at pareho itong walang grado. Still, as the nerdy Yenn Cerventez, I need to wear them as props.

I glanced at the ice blue contacts. That's what I always wear every time I fight as Young Demonise. I badly miss using them, but I can't wear them today.

Sinuot ko na lang ang light brown contacts at bumalik sa sala. Xyril turned to me as soon as I came out of my bedroom door. Hands in his pockets, he stood up and walked towards me.

"You seem weirdly familiar," wika niya. There's no hint of his usually playful expression. Instead, his eyes were almost cold; he looked dead serious.

Yeah, that's weird. What's weirder though... is that even to me, he feels familiar.

"Do I look like your usual type or what?" I raised a brow and deliberately changed the topic. I can't give him any more reasons to suspect me

He chuckled. "No, actually. Malayo ka sa mga tipo ko."

I almost rolled my eyes. Hindi ko alam pero parang nasugatan ang ego ko. Well, whatever. Who would want to be this stupid frog's type, anyway?
