RING!!!!!
Nagising ako sa ring ng phone sa kwarto... Nakatulog na pala kami ni Mark! Sinagot ko yun phone, "Hi, gusto ko lang po ipalam na 15 minutes po before checkout."
"O sige po. Salamat" binaba ko ang telepono.
At dahan dahan kong niyugyog si Mark.

Back to Mark's POV.

"Oh look at the time.." Kinusot ko ang mga mata ko.
Niligpit ko ang mga damit ko, buti at tuyo na sila. Ganun din si MJ. Tahimik sya the whole time. Weird huh?
Habang nagaantay ng elevator, napasigaw si MJ,
"OH MY GOD!"
Bago ko pa matanong kay MJ kung bakit sya napasigaw, napalingon ako at nakita ko si Paolo at Melanie na pumasok sa isang kwarto. Nagtatawanan pa sila nun pumapasok sila sa loob. Napatingin ako kay MJ, as expected parang di sya makapaniwala sa nakita nya.
Bumukas ang pintuan ng elevator, hinila ko na si MJ, na nanatiling nakatayo sa pwesto nya at nakatulala.
Tahimik lang si MJ habang pababa na kami. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin pero alam ko nasaktan sya sa nakita nya.
Tumunog ang elevator at bumukas ang pintuan, tumingin si MJ sakin with a blank stare at sinabi,
"Siguro ngayon pwede mo ng sabihin sakin na, 'I told you so..'"
At naglakad sya palabas ng exit ng motel na papunta sa isang eskinita.
Geez. I Think I made matters worse. Hinayaan ko na umalis si MJ. Maybe she needs time alone. At ako, may buhay din naman ako.

"Mark, Bakit ngayon ka lang? Kasama mo nanaman barkada mo? I guess I dont have to tell you that We have a special visitor today." Mom's here again?
Let me guess, it's either the Atienza or Belmonte family. Boredom awaits me since I can't stand those socialites.
"It's the Roxas family. They're having dinner here, so you better fix yourself up, they'll be here soon"
"TALAGA?" Yeah, the VP's family. As in, VP of the Philippines, Julio Roxas. Pero hindi yan ang dahilan kung bakit ganun na lang ang reaction ko.
Katherina Janine Roxas, grand daughter ni Julio Roxas. She was like my childhood sweetheart. I had a crush on her since gradeschool. She was so perfect, honor student, great smile, simple and down to earth.
Ngayong college na kami, siguro pwede ko na sya ligawan. Nun highschool kasi, ayaw nya pa ako payagan eh.
Nagmadali ako pumasok sa kwarto ko at nadatnan ko ang younger bro ko at ang little sis ko. Damn! Pinapakilaman nanaman ni Dan yung laptop ko!
"Haha, sino itong si MJ? At stinastalk mo ang blog nya?"
That's Dan. He's 3 years younger than me and a real pain in the a$$.
"Hey, hands off my laptop!" KInuha ko ang laptop sakanya. Nagmake face sya sakin, "and she had her first kiss daw. Oooh. Ikaw ba yun?"
"What the..." Lokong ito, kalalakeng tao, chismoso. I really hate Dan. He always gets on my nerves.
Napatingin ako sa blog ni MJ, October 7,2005. I had my first kiss. Onga no? Sino naman ito?
"You out of my room!" Tinuro ko ang pintuan palabas kay Dan, hinila ni Dan ang little sis ko na si Sharmayne at nilabas nya pa ang dila nya bago sya lumabas.
I slammed the door behind them at binasa ko ang blog ni MJ.

I just had my first kiss.
Oct 08, 2005
I’m having this mixed feeling of guilt and pleasure. My bestfriends’ assorted reactions brought me to this constant state of confusion. The worst complication is…I’m falling for him…No, it’s no longer the mere “crush” thing…Now it’s totally on a higher level. !@#$. I smile though everytime I remember that incident yesterday. It’s not about what he done or what he said. It’s about what he made me feel. It’s just…I never felt more secured and cared for when I was with him. Something that I never felt in my past relationships. And here’s the clincher. We don’t have a relationship. She has a girlfriend for devil’s sake! The guilt pareeee!!! It’s tearing me apart!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Anyway. La lang. I’m not really that guilty…What really tears me apart is my feelings for him. I know how much he loves his girlfriend eh... And I know it would never be us. But even though cool off sila ng gf nya ngayon I wont take it as an opportunity to sulot him from the girl. No way! Come what may na lang. Bahala na si God....Hayyyyy...
Why did this have to happen during our sembreak? Why?! Wala akong mapagkaabalahan... Pag wala akong mapagkaabalahan naiisip ko sya...And I end up crying....
"Mukhang seryoso ka dyan sa binabasa mo ah?" sa sobrang busy ko sa pagbabasa, di ko napansin na may tao sa kwarto. Bago pa ako makalingon, tinakpan ng taong yun ang mata ko. Hmm.. this smell..
"Guess who?"
"Kat?"
"Kat!" Wala akong masabi nun. Ang laki ng iginanda nya lalo. She's not actually that headturner kind of beauty but there's really something angelic about her smile.
