Courage

Days passed quickly. It's already Monday. My weekend was okay. After the encounter, we had last Friday night. Nagising ako kinabukasan na may nakafollow sakin. 

@caden_deasis

When I visit his timeline I confirmed that he's the annoying guy. So he has a name. It's Caden. I'm not sure if he's serious about making friend with me or he's just teasing me to see my annoyed face once again. Buti na lamang at wala naman syang ginawa matapos nya akong ifollow. Bukod sa panunuod ng IG stories ko tungkol sa mga halaman at mga cookies na binake ko, but atleast I tag his shop. 

On Sunday, we attended mass and ate dinner in a restaurant. Nagstory ulit ako ng nasa simbahan. Sumunod ay picture naming tatlo nina Daddy at Mommy. Both of them are kissing my cheek. I also tag my ate with a caption. "Missing you right now. Wish you were here." 

While on our way home, nadaanan namin ang paboritong coffee shop. Mad X Coffee Shop and Pastries, what a weird name for a coffee shop.  Parang ang layo naman sa Caden at napaka contradicting. Wait a minute, Mad X sounds familiar. I heard that name before 'di ko lamang maalala. Nung gumabi ay nanuod lamang ako ng korean drama at series sa netflix kaya naman ngayong umaga ay tamad na tamad akong bumaba para kumain.

Pagdating ko ng school ay agad akong nagtungo sa library. I didn't expect the amount of students they have right now. Pero kung lilipat naman ako sa isa pang lib ay magsasayang lamang ako ng oras. Nakishare na lamang ako sa mga kilala kong laging bumabati sa akin. Some students are looking at me. Parang ngangayon ako nakita. Weird.

Tahimik akong nag-aaral ng biglang dumating si Charlotte. She is in Stem Strand, samantalang Home Economics naman si Lou at Abm si Max while I'm in Humss strand. Kaya nagtataka sila kung paano kami naging magkakaibigan. Honestly, I'm asking the same question too.

"Where are the others?" excited nitong tanong. For sure she is about to spill some tea.

"It's 8 am Charl. They have classes pa. But they will be in a minute, I have class in 30 minutes, a quiz with Mr. Lucero," binalik ko ang tingin sa notes ko.

"I know. I already message them, they will cut. Sorry Mommy Millie," she mocked me and smiled.

"Bahala kayo. Quiet now, please. I'm trying to study here. " I focused on my notes again. After a minute both Max and Lou are here.

"So what is it? This better be a good tea Carlota," Lou whispered

"Eww. Drop that name. Okay, so I have a new classmate. He is handsome. Really handsome. Here is a candid photos of him that I took. I already stalked his acc and guess what I see. He already followed you Milana." She looked at me and smirked.

"When he introduced, he said that he's here because of one person. Kaya naghihinala ang iba na si Millie iyon."

Hindi ko agad nakuha ang sinabi niya. Inagaw ko agad ang cellphone niya at ng makitang si Caden ang kaklase niya ay kinukwento ko agad ang nangyari. Nahirapan pa ako dahil nasa library kami. Nakailang warning pa ang librarian sa amin. When I finished, it's already 8:30 so before they interrogate me. Umalis na agad ako at pumasok.
