Luna Collares. She died two years ago because of lukemia. Siya ang binisita kanina nila Nicholas at Heiro kanina sa sementeryo.

Nicholas told Luna about the girl he likes, Ameri. He told her about how Ameri makes his heart flutter every time she's near, every time she calls him, every time their bodies touched, and every time she looks at him. It was dazzling. It was so good to feel, that he wants to make Ameri stay beside him for longer.

He asked if his feelings towards Ameri is genuine or he just sees Luna in her. He asked if he needs to stop his feelings for her so that no one will get hurt.

But with the help of Heiro, he now knows for himself that he really likes the girl who is walking beside him in the school hallway.

"She's happy now, up in there," said Ameri, looking heavenward.

"She is," he agreed. "And, I bet, she likes you, too."

Ameri's cheeks blushed with his statement. Kanina pa siya kinikilig. Gusto na niyang tumakbo at sumigaw sa hallway kanina pa.

Nicholas, too. Sa sobrang lakas ng kabog ng puso, gusto na nitong kumawala sa dibdib niya.

The hallways became silent when none of them talked. Busy sila isipin kung ano ba ang dapat sabihin. Kahit na alam nila na gusto nila ang isa't-isa, mayroon pa ring hiyang nararamdaman ang dalawa.

Habang naglalakad, ibinaba ni Ameri ang kamay niya na nakasukbit sa strap ng bag, dahilan para madali nito ang kamay ni Nicholas.

Parehong natigilan ang dalawa, sapo-sapo ang parehong kamay na nagkadikit kanina.

". . . Sorry," paumanhin ni Ameri habang nakatitig kay Nicholas na nagulat.

Parang may kuryenteng dumaloy sa kanilang mga braso nang magkadikit ang kamay nila.

Nagpatuloy sila sa paglalakad. Letting their hands touch while walking.

Moments passed, Nicholas asked something that made Ameri's face be so red than before.

"If you're backpack isn't heavy. H-how about you hand?" lakas-loob na tanong ni Nichols habang pinipigilan ang hininga. "Can I hold. . . your hand?"
