TJ's POV
"So what is it that you want?" Jaybi asked.We're here sitting and looking at those beautiful stars. We're here where they asked me about that bet."Be the witness of it, Nathan," I said while looking at Nathan and then now at Jaybi, "Make her fall in love again, but don't break her heart anymore."I gave him the letter, and they opened it."Loving someone back is not easy, especially when you continue to love the person who can't love you back, but loving you is just like a math equation: 1+1=2, that everyone can do," Jaybi read the letter."Babalik ako kapag natutunan mo nang mahalin ang sarili mo, bago ako. From, Sam," Nathan continued."You found my guy, so I found your girl." I stood up, "Wait for her."I started to walk, as I walked as I looked up and tried to look at the stars.I can't wait for their time. . . . but Zack, In our next time, can we have our second chance?The EPetot's POV(I never thought about this portion but because my friend requested it, I'm gonna do it.

Hope you love it, thank you!)10 years later....We're here at our place. Where in every 2 years we're doing our routines; napunta kami rito at same day.

TJ's POV"Pre, 11pm na, oh! Want to bet?" Jaybi offered, asking for a race since we're all going home, from the market to the dorm."Aba-aba! Lakas maghamon, lagi namang talo!" Nathan replied, which caused me to laugh."May sinasabi ka, Tanyog?" Jaybi asked, annoyed. And then glares at me, "Saka ikaw, anong tinatawatawa mo riyan, ah?"I looked away and coughed, clearing my throat.I leaned against Nathan, and whispered, "Ayan na po si "Jaybi The Hot-tempered"."Tawa ang naging response sa akin ng katabi ko. "Anong sabi mo?"I shook my head, "Wala.""Sabi namin, kung as usual ba? Dating gawi, ha?" Nathan lied.Ang dating gawi ay yung magre-racing kami at ang matatalo ay gagawin ang gusto nung nanalo."Oo!"I grinned, "Game!"And we all decided to go to our cars, and went inside after smiling at one another.3…. 2…. 1…. go!Nagkanya-kanya na kami ng takbo ng sasakyan. Nagulat sabay kunot ng noo na lang ang nagawa ko ng medyo napansin ko na nasa kalagitnaan pa lang ako pero nauubos na a
TJ's POV Nandito na kami sa school ngayon. And after a few subjects, it is now lunch time.Alam kong cafeteria 'to at maraming tao rito pero ang daming babae na nakapaligid sa table namin ngayon.I saw shoes below, side of my table. I know it's Nathan and Jaybi, so I looked up and I'm right. They both shook their heads and sighed at the same time. 'Di na nasanay sa 'kin, eh. "Pwede ba kaming makaupo sa tabi mo, Mr. Popular Guy?" Jaybi jokingly asked.I just shrugged, pag go-with-the-flow ko sa kalokohan nila."By the way, I already found the guy," Jaybi said, starting a new topic."So sino 'tong unlucky guy na 'to, huh?" I asked.Jaybi immediately grabbed his phone from his back and showed a picture of a guy, "Zackarios Zeyn Coates known as Zack, he's an introvert but famous at the same time." Napatigil ako sa pagnguya, did I heard this name before? "Kung famous siya, bakit hindi ko siya kilala?" I was brought back to reality because of Nathan's question. I stared at Nathan, "Of
TJ's POVHinanap ko sila sa cafeteria, mga bandang 12:20 na kaya lunch time na."Don't tell me pinapunta niyo lang ako rito para lang sa sticky note na 'to?" As soon as I arrived, I asked them, so disappointed.I saw them looking carefully at a sticky note on the table.Jaybi nodded, "Look!""Oh, tapos?" walang gana kong sabi, and I saw a sticky note with a number written on it, "I know it's a number, so?""Kanino kaya?" Jaybi asked, picked up the note and faced it to me.Call me and I'll tell you something.- ZackThat's what I saw.I was shocked, "Tunay ba 'to? Seryoso?" I can't believe what just happened! I saw the number and it's from Zack!"So, what are you waiting for? Tawagan mo na!" Jaybi command.Just like what he said, tinawagan ko siya. At sa isang tawag lang sinagot na niya 'to."There is no beating around the bush, anong oras matatapos ang klase mo?" he asked."8 pm." "Okay, then. Wait for me at the music club." And suddenly I heard the sound of hanging up.I looked at
TJ's POV"So payag ka na, am I officially courting you now?""Yes." One shot, make sure you're courting him.2 weeks after and we became even closer, of course, I am courting him. Every day kaming magkasama, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and always wait for him after class.20th day. Weekend ngayon at wala kaming pasok."What am I supposed to do here? Watching TV all day?" I asked myself because I'm getting bored.Zack went to his Aunt's house, far from here, the dorm. I asked him about that but he said he prefers to live alone because he seems to be a burden to his Auntie so he just looked for an apartment.Out of nowhere, my phone started ringing and I saw Zack's name so I answered the call."Hello, Tj?" I smiled, "Yes?""Er. . . . Can you come here, dito lang sa bahay ni Auntie?""Why?" "Please?" he begged."Umm." And I just nodded.I took a bath, put on some nice clothes and went out. And went to his Aunt's house.I rang the doorbell, as soon as I came, even though the gate was o
TJ's POVNandito ako ngayon sa classroom at ito namang isang tao na ‘to ay hindi matali kaka-lakad, pabalik-balik pa."Nathan, could you please stop?""So, what's happening now?" he asked about me and Zack, trying to change the topic."Under my control. You're making me dizzy, Nathan. Tumigil ka na nga kakalakad!" sambit ko pa.Jusme Nathan, nakakahilo ka na!"Where's Jaybi, by the way?" I asked. "I'm h–here!" while catching his breath."Speaking of the devil, ano na'ng balita?" singit ni Nathan."Saglit! Let me breathe for a second." I looked at him from head to toe and went back up again as I watched him catch his breath. When I reached his chest I saw a violet rounded-like that was about to show because of his messy wearing of uniform.I think Nathan noticed it too, "Ano 'to, Jaybi?" while pointing at it."Nabugbog ka na naman ba?" I asked."Okay lang ako," he murmured, "so ayun na nga, ganito kasi. 7 am first class ko, right?""So, nabugbog ka nga?" tanong ko ulit."Hindi na 'yon

Zack's POV"Totoo ba? Totoo ba na ang puso ni Ate Eyey ay galing sa Papa ko?"Napahagulgul ako sa harapan niya. Nakapag-usap na nga si Mom at ang Mama ni Tj, nakarating na kay Tj eh. He burst into tears, "I'll ask you again, totoo ba!?" I closed my eyes, "Um, at matagal ko ng alam.""You knew it, yet hindi mo sinabi!?" he shouted, losing his temper.I opened my eyes, "Sorry."

Zack's POVHe is kneeling in front of me now and asking, "Why, why did you have to do that!? I was about to tell you everything but then I figured out between the two of us, you're the one who's lying?"My heart hurts because of what he said. I want to hug him but I can't, I know he wouldn't let me."Answer me, why!? I'm asking you!" he continued."Because I've been in love with you since then," I answered him calmly.He was startled, "Si-since w-when?""10 years ago. When we were in 6th grade, when I met you. That moment when I have nothing; my grandpa died and my fraternal twin went abroad. From extrovert to introvert, naging tahimik ako, wala akong gustong pansinin at wala rin akong gustong kausapin, because I don't want them to be attached in my life. . . . and after a month, you transferred in. When you're introducing yourself and I see your smile, it enlightens up my heart, my world." He's just looking at me, and

I thought you're in our house, why are you here? Walang kasama si Mama ron." "Kuya, look at me and tell me everything." "Tell you, what?""Tell me about the f•cking bet!"He was shocked, but then managed to make himself calm, "What bet?"Ah, okay! Hindi ko siya mapaamin sa ganitong paraan, pwes ako ang magsasabi!"Kuya, I know I have no right to say this to you because I don't know how that started. . . . pero gusto ko lang naman linawin, ang sakit masaktan!"

TJ's POVNung gabi na yun, nalaman ko na narape ang kaibigan ni Mama at sapat na muna yun kasi alam ko ang hirap ng Mama, kaya hindi na muna namin ni Petot tinanong ang tungkol sa heart-transplant surgery.At though, may mga klase ako tinet-take, ginawang ko ng paraan para makausap yung kaibigan ni Mama, na Tita ni Sam, at Mom nila Al at Zack— si Tita Ally. Na ilang beses ko ng nakikita at nakakausap pero hindi ko inexpect na siya pala ang matagal na naming hinahanap.Now, I'm inside the small coffee shop here and patiently waiting for her to come. All of a sudden, the door opened, which made me look at it and see her. The person I've been waiting for the whole time has arrived.She immediately smiled at me when she saw me, and walked to sit down in the front seat afterwards.I smiled at her, "Uhm, do you want to order po?" "Uh, no, I don't drink coffee." She kept smiling. "By the way, bakit naman ginulat mo 'ko? You a

I want you to accompany me before I actually meet him," I said.We're in the kitchen, sitting on the dining table and eating our breakfast."Sure, Hon."

And since then, they are not talking to each other anymore."No need, Ma.

So, every morning I always packed him a sandwich."But, son, this time I cooked your favorite adobo." And I stood up, grabbed the sandwich and walked to him. I gave him the sandwich, "Masama lagi na puro fast food chai
