I breathed deeply as soon as i was awake. I had asthma again. I began to look for my inhaler and puff two times. I inhaled the drug until I could already breath properly. I looked at the clock to check what time it is already. It's still 3:00 a.m. I walked to the bathroom and turn the shower on. Cold water run down my body and I shivered. After taking a bath, I changed hurriedly. I sat down the sofa waiting for it to be 5:45 a.m. already. I have to attend mass today. It has been a month since Rey and I started texting for almost everyday. We don't usually talk to each other that much in school though.
I started listening to music. I closed my eyes when suddenly my phone beeped. I was startled and checked on the message.
From: Rey;
goodmorning..
I don't know but I felt excited and replied to his text immediately.
To: Rey;
good morning :) can't sleep well? or u'r going to church today?
I waited for him to reply.
Rey: i'm going to church :) u?
Me: same. :)
Rey: it's still 3:46 a.m., why you awake so early. i bet the mass is still this 6:00 ?
Me: yeah but i wanted to be early. haha.
Rey: that's too much of early :D ahaha.
Me: u? u'r awake early too. why is that so? o.0
Rey: it's already my habit :)
Me: oh. so what are you doing now?
Rey: listening to music? u?
Me: same.
Rey: u have to rest. take a nap for a while. it's not good waking up very early and if i know, u slept late last night. ;)
Me: haha. mind reader? yeah. i am a bit tired though but i have to stay awake or i'll miss the mass.
Rey: don't worry i'll text or call you so that u'll be able to take a nap for a while. that way you'll be able to wake up and not miss the mass :)
Me: haha. that's sweet of you. u care too much huh? :D
Rey: haha. i guess so.
Me: you better not care too much. u might not know what will happen next ;)
Rey: what will happen next? o.0
Me: ahahah...it's for you to find out ;)
Rey: tell me :(
Me: what i'm saying is. it might be that because u care too much, someone might fall for u unexpectedly or the other way around. :))
Rey: who might fall for me?
Me: i don't know. i am definitely not a fortune teller. haha
Rey: haha..right. :)
We continued texting until it was already time for me to attend mass. Rey was a nice person to talk to. He is an easygoing person. I just felt very comfortable around him.
That afternoon I decided to go to the mall and look for new books. I was so hooked on books that i did not recognized that i already have lots of messages. After paying for my books, i got my phone and read the messages. I opened Faye's message.
From: Faye;
Angeli!! i have a very funny question for you. this is from your admirer. he wanted to know who ur crush is..haha..guess who's your admirer. :))
I giggled as I read Faye's message. I wonder who that admirer would be.
To: Faye;
ahm..as of now, i don't have any crush but i do love reading books :) and for the admirer...ahmm...i don't have any idea who :(
I stopped for a while and think hard. I really could not identify who. I really don't have any idea.
Just as I was in my deep thought, my phone beeped again and a new message was recieved from Faye.
From: Faye;
Hahahahah..it's Rey :) ayeee..
I blushed when i read the message. I felt my heart had started to pump hard and fast. I felt butterflies inside my stomach. I felt so happy and tensed. I did not even noticed that I was smiling sweetly on my own.
I listened to music as i walked around the terraces. I wanted to go home already but i felt that i have something i have to buy but i just could not remember what. So, I decided to just hang out in the terraces.
Then, i began to realize the things that i am doing. I kept smiling. Now, I am listening to mellow music. Am I going insane? I am not my usual self. I don't usually listen to mellow music and i am not that kind of person who reacts too much on a text. Worst of all, I don't smile nor feel happy whenever i knew i have an admirer. I hated having one.
It was weird knowing who my admirer was. It wasn't like Rey was sort of special for me to react that way, was he? Am i falling for him?
Still, Faye's text kept flashing in my head and i could not stop myself from smiling and giggling.
Another message from Faye arrived.
From: Faye;
don't tell him that i revealed his identity already. okay? pls :)
All i could reply was "ok". Just as i press 'send' another message arrived.
Faye: what if he'll ask u out?
Me: not gonna happen... :P
Faye: oh yeah? what if he really will? would u say yes?
Me: i don't know...i guess i'll give it a try..
Faye: sure?
Me: yeah2x whatever..
At the thought of that, i suddenly blushed and smiled.
Ken was walking towards me with a big paper bag in hand with the label "blue magic". It is the gift Ken said he will give to Faye. Ken gave me a what-happened-to-you face.
"what's with the face?You're weird." i stated sounding irritated. "what's weird is you smiling and blushing all by yourself." He laughed and started teasing me.
"i am not!" i replied loudly.
"yes you are. so who were you thinking about?it's Rey, isn't it?"
"what?!? why would i be thinking of him?"
"i don't know. because u like him?"
"no i don't. Let's go home already"
"okay mrs. Rey"
"stop calling me that!"
"as if you don't like the sound of that MRS. REY"
"i don't"
"ahaha...really MRS. REY?"
"shut up!" i glared at him but he continued to laugh.
As we arrived home, i piled up all my books in my shelf. I listened to music again. As my eyes got heavy, I slowly fell asleep.
