Israel
Nag-enjoy ka ba sa "friendly" gala natin? 😁

Eugenie
Surprisingly, yes.
I realized you're not so bad.

Israel
Sabi sayo, e. Masaya akong kasama. 😉
Kailan ulit tayo lalabas?

Eugenie
Wow, namihasa? 😏
I was actually surprised na pumayag ang parents ko noong ipinagpaalam mo ako kanina.

Israel
Mukha raw kasi akong katiwa-tiwala, sabi nina Mom at Dad. 😎

Eugenie
Maka-"Mom at Dad" ka riyan!

Israel
Mom at Dad MO. Hindi pa kasi ako tapos. 😂
Next time, isama natin ang mga kapatid mo.

Eugenie
You'd do that?

Israel
Why not?

Eugenie
Nagulat lang ako. Most suitors won't even think of bringing the girl's siblings to a date.

Israel
Ha! So inamin mo ring date nga 'yong kanina.
At tama ba ako, you consider me as your suitor? 😱

Eugenie
Adik. Wala akong sinabing ganyan. 🙄

Israel
Yiee, nafo-fall na si Genie... 🤣

Eugenie
Feeling ka.

Israel
Haha, kunwari pa ang baby ko. 😛
Nga pala, friend mo ba si Felipe sa Facebook?
Sana nakita niya ang post mo.

Eugenie
Yup. Sana nga, nakita niya.
Para naman mawala na sa isip niya na may gusto pa rin ako sa kanya. 😭

Israel
How bad were those diary entries, anyway? Bakit kinailangan mo pa talaga akong kasabwatin para lang ipamukha sa kanya na nagmo-move on ka na?

Eugenie
Oh, God. They're really bad, Israel.
So needy and desperate.
I get the urge to cry whenever I think about how somebody had read them, and worse, because it was Brent himself who did.
Sobrang nakakahiya. 😭

Israel
Did he confront you after?
I hope he's at least cool with it.

Eugenie
On the contrary, he seemed pretty upset about it. He pulled me aside during our last hangout with my cousins, and told me that while he's flattered that I fancy him, I've got nothing on Rhi, kaya 'wag na raw akong umasa. 😭

Israel
What?! Guy's a motherfugger. Kailangan ba talagang insultuhin ka?

Eugenie
I felt crushed when he said that. Alam ko namang wala akong binatbat kay Rhi, pero masakit pa rin na marinig 'yon galing kay Brent. 😭

Israel
Do you want me to punch that jackass on the face? Maiganti man lang kita.

Eugenie
Sira, 'wag na. He's still my cousin's boyfriend, so I need to be civil towards him.
And Brent is actually a nice guy. I think he just felt the need to protect his relationship with Rhi, kaya niya nasabi 'yon sa akin.

Israel
Nyeta. Pinagtatanggol mo pa rin siya?

Eugenie
Ang tanga ko ba?

Israel
In this regard, yes.

Eugenie
It's just that... I've been crushing on him for three years now, way before he and Rhien got together. They actually met because of me.

Israel
Pareho kayong member ng Eisner Honor Society, tama ba?

Eugenie
Yup. We became good friends after spending time together during EHS activities.
And now, I've ruined it. ☹️

Israel
That must have been painful, watching the person you love fall for someone else.

Eugenie
I don't know if what I feel for Brent is love. I actually like to think that it isn't.
Parang ang lungkot naman kasi kung siya ang first love ko, pero unrequited naman.

Israel
And I think you're also feeling guilty, because he's your cousin's boyfriend.

Eugenie
Exactly. Alam ko namang mali ako. Simula noong naging sila ni Rhi, wala na akong karapatang magkagusto kay Brent.

Israel
Uncrush mo na ang kumag na 'yon, Genie. Whatever you say about him, I still think he's a jerk. Any guy who made a girl feel low about herself is not worth it.

Eugenie
I'm trying, Israel.
Mawawala rin naman siguro 'to, in due time.

Israel
May that time come soon enough.
Brent Felipe is just a scrawny git who doesn't deserve your affection.

Eugenie
Grabe makapang-bash! 😝
Why, who do you think deserves my affection, then?

Israel
Clue: IDLT ang initials.

Eugenie
Surprise, surprise. 😏

Israel
Sinusubukan lang kung makakalusot. 😂
For the record, Genie, your cousin Rhien is a fine girl, but so are you. Trust me.

Eugenie
Sinasabi mo lang 'yan dahil crush mo ako. 🥺

Israel
So naniniwala ka nang crush kita? 😁

Eugenie
Well, you're really vocal about it, so...

Israel
That's because it's true. Kaya nga 'wag mo nang panghinayangan si Felipe. Lalo pa't si Israel de la Torre na ang may gusto sa'yo? If that ain't a confidence booster, I don't know what is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Eugenie
Napakayabang mo talaga! 🙄

Israel
Nagsasabi lang ng totoo, baby. Mga benteng paligo at sampung haircut ang lamang ko kay Felipe. Saan ka pa? 😎

Eugenie
Why girls fawn over you still remains a mystery to me. Ang pagkakaalam ko, nakaka-turn off ang kayabangan. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Israel
Turn off lang 'yon kapag wala namang maipagmamalaki. But in my case, I have all the rights to brag. Confidence is attractive, Ms. van Acker. Don't you think so?

Eugenie
Ewan ko sa'yo, Israel. Noong nagsabog ng kahanginan sa mundo, sinalo mong lahat.
Pero salamat, napagaan mo ang loob ko. Maybe I'm not so worthless, after all, given how the Campus Trash has a crush on me. 😜

Israel
Told ya, confidence booster. 😉
Hey, it's getting late.
Masama ang nagpupuyat.
Go to sleep, pretty face.

Eugenie
Ikaw rin. Good night, Israel. 🙂

Israel
Good night, Genie. ❤️
