"Hi, Rhui!"

Hindi ko na nilingon ang damuhong nagtawag ng pangalan ko. Dahil sa makulit na boses niya pa lang, alam ko na agad kung sino siya.

Lalabas na sana ako ng room nang humarang siya sa dinadaanan ko. I lifted my head to look at him, and I saw how big his smile was. I'll admit I'm scared for my life a bit. Para kasing may masamang binabalak sa akin.

I just stared at him and didn't say anything. Nakakapagod din kasi magsalita sa mga makukulit at madadaldal.

His high energy makes me lost mine sometimes.

"Gawin na natin ngayon 'yong project!"

I really don't want to talk, but it feels like I need to. Because knowing how papansin he is kasi hindi naman talaga kami close, he really won't let go of me unless I will talk to him.

Pain in the ass, really...

"Bukas. I can't today."

"Why?" I just lifted an eyebrow that erased the curiousity on his face. Tsismoso. "Pero tayo na talaga partner, ha?" I just sighed and tried to walk out, pero hindi niya pa rin tinitigil ang paghaharang sa dinadaanan ko.

"Ilang dots na ang nireply ko, 'di ba?" The mischievous smile suddenly showed on his face, that makes me want to kick him on his thing right now.

"I said... one dot." He smirked. "But you replied more than one... then, I won't stop?"
