Prologue
"Adrianna, uhm..." She looked at him all confused. Bigla na lang kasi siyang pinuntahan nito sa classroom nila, they weren't even close.
"Kenzo, nandito naman si Andrea eh." She giggled a little thinking that he was looking for his friend. Even though siya naman talaga ang pinunta niya roon.
"Hindi, ikaw naman talaga 'yong gusto ko makausap."
"Ah, bakit?"
"Adrianna, gusto kita, sobra. Mahal na nga ata kita eh."
The clouds swifted away from the sun. Warmth and light is now shining to them. Adrianna looked at him dead empty. Si Kenzo naman, hindi niya mapigilang tumingin sa mga mata ng dalagang lalo pang gumanda dahil sa sikat ng araw.
"Kenzo," she giggled again, "Masyado pa tayong bata para diyan."
"Alam ko pero..."
"Tska wala pa sa isip ko 'yan. Sorry, pero the feeling's not mutual."
"Pero-"
"I'm sorry, I'm sure you'll find another girl." He looked down because of what she said. Tinapik niya ang binata sa balikat at pumasok na muli sa silid.

"Anong ginagawa mo diyan? Wala naman diyan 'yong party." Napatingala siya sa lalaking nagsalita. She frowned a little because of who she saw. Never in her life did she expect him to talk to her again.
"Ako ba kinakausap mo?" She asked, still confused. Tumingin sa paligid ang binata at tska binalik sa dalaga ang tingin.
"Wala namang ibang tao rito, Adi."
"Adi?" She asked. That was the first time he called her Adi. Napapikit na lang ang binata sabay buntong hininga. Umupo siya sa tabi ng dalaga.
"Bawal ba kitang tawaging Adi?"
"Pwede naman."
"'Yon naman pala eh. So? Bakit ka nandito?"
"I think I failed the research project." She let out a deep sigh.
"Sige, I'll listen." He did. They spent the night together.
