"How long will it take for them to break you, Ice?"
Ice feels a sense of peace when she has control over her life. She strived to live by that thought and everything seems to be going well until she started a new job as a Teacher's Assistant at a ne...
Nang umuwi nga ito, hindi pa din nagbabago ang isip ng parents nila.
So Lex had to support himself when it came to school. He thrived as an artist and made money out of it but it wasn't always easy. Lex had to apply for odd jobs, iyong hindi daw nakaka "bore to death".
Their parents slowly realized na hindi nila mababago si Lex kaya binalik na ng mga ito ang monthly allowance and supported his school tuition too.
Now, Lex made a name for himself in the art world. At ngayon nag aaral ito ng film sa ibang bansa.
He's not done dreaming. She won't be suprised if he suddenly messages her that he's in Hawaii learning how to surf.
Since Ice has nothing better to do, she decided to bother Lex while marathoning old Nick shows she loved.
Nasa gitna ng panunuod ng movie ang Kuya niya sa klase kaya mabagal ito mag reply.
Na realize ni Ice na ito ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw niyang mag stay sa bahay minsan. Yes, she has her occasional lazy days but hindi ito ngayon.
There are days when you feel comfortable alone. And some days you just feel lonely.
Today is the latter.
Ice's phone vibrated while she's choosing a movie to watch, thinking it'a just Lex again, binuksan niya agad ito.
A new message from ✌ a.k.a Dos Romero.
Kunot noong binuksan ni Ice ang message nito. They're not really the type of acquaintances who messages one another out of the blue. Labas doon yung pag congratulate niya syempre.
What can this guy possibly want now?
Usually she doesn't entertain people sa text lalo na't wala namang sasabihing importante. As she's getting to know Dos, she learned not to take him seriously sometimes.
Kahit sa text pag ti-tripan siya nito? Ice sighed before typing a reply.

Ice thought of something first. Gusto niya bang mag interact sa humans ngayon or hindi?
Kahit na medyo annoying si Dos, okay naman ito kasama. Nauubos lang talaga ang energy niya.
He wants them to eat out at mukhang susunduin pa siya nito.
Why her out of all people?
Since he's a basketball player for sure may magandang set ng friends ito bukod sa teammates.
So why Ice?
Ice still spent a good few minutes thinking if her decision. Kung pumayag man siya, she can still cancel but nakakahiya din naman kay Dos kung susunduin siya nito.
Oh, fuck it.
Nag handa na si Ice and texted Dos na sa labas nalang sila magkita instead na pumasok pa ito sa village.
Nang lumabas siya, naghihintay na ang Black Fortuner ni Dos sa gate.
Binaba agad nito ang bintana and greeted her with a wide grin and she returned it with a dry smile like always.
"Good day, Miss who is not friends with me but still said yes." Sabi agad nito. "I really thought you were going to put up a fight. Tatawagan ko na sana yung PI namin para alamin ang bahay niyo."
"Don't start, Dos." Ice sighed, keeping her eyes on the road.
Dos laughed.
His laugh gets on Ice's nevers sometimes.
"All jokes aside. Thanks for coming with me."
"You're very persuasive kaya ako andito."
"And for food." Dos grinned.
"That too." Ice nods, hiding her smile when Dos turned his eyes back on the road.
