�Sino si Carlo?� I asked Avis.
�Anak ng foster parents ko.�
�Foster parents?�
Teka, bakit ampon lang siya?
�Patay na ang parents ko.�
�P-patay na?� Aishh. Engot ko naman. Ba�t ganun yung sinabi ko?
�Oo, patay na.�
�S-sorry. Engot ko naman. Kung anu-ano na sinasabi ko.�
�It�s okay.� She smiled.
�Nga pala, yung Carlo� dito ba nakatira?�
�Hindi siya dito nakatira.�
�Ah, nasan siya?�
Teka, bakit ba ang dami kong tinatanong?
�Nasa North Carolina siya ngayon.�
�Oh, dun siya nag-aaral?�
�Yep, Duke.�
�Ilang taon na?�
�Kasing edad lang natin.�
�Gwapo ba?�
�Oo. Kung pwede nga e, aasawahin ko na yun.

� She chuckled.
�Not a good joke.

�
�Sorry. Peace na po.� She smiled.
�Oo na. Eh� Nasan yung foster parents mo?�
�Kaaalis lang last Monday night. Nagpuntang Sydney.�
�Aww. So ikaw lang at si Aling Cora ang nandito?�
�Uh, dito rin nakatira yung pamilya ni Aling Cora.�
�Ah, ganun ba.�
�Teka, dami mong tanong tungkol kay Carlo ah?� She chuckled.
�Bakit ba? Curious lang naman ako e.�
�Curious or JEALOUS?

� She giggled.
�Ayan ka na naman Avis huh.� I pinched her cheek.
�Joke lang. Sobra ka,� she giggled. �Sapul ba? NYAHAHAHA.

�
�Wow, medyo humahangin dito ah.�
Suddenly, my phone rang. It�s Celine. Arghh.
�Sige, sagutin mo.� She smiled.
><><><><
�Hello? Matt?�
�Arghh. What do you need?�
�YOU. Here.�
�No way.�
�Oh, wait Matt. Chill.�
�Now what?�
�Go here in Yellow Cab. The usual. You need to know something.�
And she hung up. Argghhh.
�I-I need to go, Avis.�
�Oh, sure. Hindi naman talaga naka-lend yung time mo today for me.�
I knew that she was hurt. Yeah, I feel it. Haha.
�No! It didn�t meant like that.. Uh, it�s uhmm� an emergency.� I excused myself.
�Yeah, yeah. I know.� She forced a smile.
�I got to go.� I waved goodbye.
�Yah. Thanks for the time.�
><><><><
I didn�t want to go at Yellow Cab to meet Celine. But she said I need to know something. I didn�t want to leave Avis. Arghh. Now what? Ano bang nangyayari sakin?!
�Hey.� She held my face. �I thought you weren�t coming.�
�You know I won�t.� I faced an unusual expression. �Now what?�
�What about a little chat first?� She roamed her eyes around like she was searching for someone.
�Fine.� I sighed for grief. Ugh.
�I�ve noticed something�� She smirked. �You�re being cold towards me.�
�I�m not BEING cold. I WAS, always.� I emphasized �being� and �was.� Since I met her, she�s just so disgusting and annoying.
�UGH. FINE! Still, nag-iba ang pakikitungo mo sakin simula nung dumating yung Avis na yun.� She grunted.
�You don�t care.�
Before she answered, she roamed her eyes once again and suddenly smiled. I tried to look out but she held my face.
�WHY? What�s with her that I don�t have?� She held my hand and tried to kiss me.
�She�s just PERFECT. And you�re not even a percent of her.�
I left her. But she didn�t react. She�s like confident. I don�t know. Arghhh! Wala naman pala siyang sasabihin sakin eh! What�s the point?! Ugh.
I tried to call Avis, but she isn�t answering my calls nor replying to my texts. Err, what�s happening?!
�Avis, please! For god�s sake, please answer!�
I send her IM�s but she didn�t reply. I tried everything! But nothing seems to work!
�Get a sleep, Matt.�
�I can�t, Mom.�
�Wait. A girl?�
�Y-yeah.�
�You know what? I don�t know why your Dad likes Celine to be your girl, but for me, she just doesn�t fit.�
I just stared at my Mom unbelievingly.
�Believe it or not, I�ll be happy with whom you choose. Whoever.�
Napakagat nalang ako sa labi ko. �Thanks Mom.�
She smiled. �Now, get a sleep.�
><><><><

After Matt left, my phone rang, and it was an unknown number.
�Uhh? Hello?�
�Hi Avis, this is Monique. Uh, punta ka dito sa Yellow Cab. MOA.�
�Why?�
�It�s for the membership mo sa Math club.�
�Oh, sige. Now na?�
�Yeah, yeah. ASAP ah?�
�Okay.�
And she hung up. I dressed up at nagpaalam kay Aling Cora.
�Aling Cora, punta lang po ako ng MOA, para po sa Math club.�
�Sige, ingat ka ah? Pahatid ka na kay Tonyo ah.�
�Opo.�
><><><><
Manong dropped me at MOA.
�Manong, magta-taxi nalang po ako pabalik ah.�
�Oh sige, hija. Ingat ka nalang ah.�
�Opo.� I smiled.
I walked to the way to Yellow Cab.
�Okaay.�
I was about to go inside but� [b]I saw Celine and Matt � holding hands and are about to kiss.[/b]
