"You're so annoying kuya!" Nakuha ng isang babae ang atensiyon ko.

We're outside the hospital, I'm waiting for kuya Joshmer because he'll fetch me. I didn't bring my car today so I don't have a choice.

Napatingin ako sa direksiyon ng babae kung saan nasa tapat lang sila ng Emergency Room.

"What? You're starting to be a brat again!" Reklamo ni Gab, I know him because he's been my blockmate eversince. I shot my eyebrows when I saw her uniform, nursing student huh.

"What? Am I? Why did you say to Dad ba na huwag nang ituloy ang pagbili ng sasakyan ko?" Reklamo ng kapatid niya, she's about to cry.

"Stop making a scene, Gail. And besides, you're still a baby." He patted her head but she immediately avoided it. So, Gail was her name huh.

The first girl who caught my attention.

"What?! Lagpas na ako sa legal age and graduating na ako sa nursing. Kahit kotse lang iregalo niyo sa akin!" Pagpipilit pa niya na tila ba gustong-gusto niyang ipaglaban iyon.

"Then act like a lady." I did't had a chance to hear her answer when kuya Josh's car park in front of me and went inside.

I admit it, I'm interested to her. That's new huh. I thought, med school before girls but she suddenly caught my eyes.

I really don't know what's with fate but I think it's playing me. I always saw her, sometimes in the national bookstore. Madalas sa hospital, kinukulit niya si Gab. She's cute.

One day, I bumped her. She looked at me like she's observing me then looked at my ID.

"Louisian ka?" I'm just staring at her and slowly nodded because of her question. Why did she even asked? It's obvious. " Saan ang building ng SEA? Nandoon kasi yung crush ko e." She chuckled. Kumunot ang noo ko sa pagtataka, this is the first time we talk to each other but it's like we've known each other for a month, for her to tell that information.

But I admit, I was amaze.

"Excuse me?" I asked to avoid the amusement I've felt.

"I was asking what name nung building ng mga SEA? School of Engineering and Architecture?" Maarte pa ang pagkakatanong niya. Bahagyang napaawang ang labi ko, trying to hide a smirk. This girl had something. "But if you didn't know, just bye and thanks!" Then she waved at me while walking away.

Napahawak ako sa batok ko habang bahagyang ginagalaw ang ulo ko. Kakatapos lang ng duty namin pero mukhang hindi ako makakauwi ngayon dahil sa paper works. Med student second home was hospital, halos nandito na kami buong araw. Baka kapag naging doctor na, buong linggo na.

I opened the door of our headquarter, I was shocked that I saw someone that's not familiar to me. Wait, I think she is or not? She immediately fix her sit when she saw me then avoided my gaze. I didn't know if she's pretending to read a book or she's actually reading it.

Tiningnan ko ang suot niyang uniform. Bakit parang nursing student ang nakakasalamuha ko ngayon? Base sa ID niya, she's also a student from UB. Sabagay malapit lang naman ang university nila sa amin.

"Ah dude, si Daisheen. Katulong ko," Nathan joked. I knew it was a joked because she's pretty. I saw her throwing a deadly gaze to Nathan. "Joke lang, Pinsan ko."

Tipid akong tumango bago hinila ang upuan tiyaka ako naupo roon.

"Jonas." I'm trying to become friendly because I'm not rude. But then I opened my book to read because this is my priority.
