Rigor's POV
My plan was to return the book I've borrowed and head home. These books keep pulling me to stay and sit for A WHILE to read them. I keep on thinking about that guy, that Earl John guy. Is he a just a friend? Or perhaps, a suitor. Yea, maybe. Well, suitor lang pala. If he's just a friend then that's better.
'Maria Ecostas...Lazarus?'
Why is it so familiar that I can't think of any answer why it is. Never mind, I'm gonna know the answer soon. Hindi lang ngayon ang araw na magkikita kami. I smiled at the thought of her.
Napatingin ako sa oras, it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I should leave. Lumabas na ako ng library after returning the book I was reading sa shelf. I'm halfway on the stairs when my phone rings.
ArCi Calling.....
Yea, I know. Sounds feminine but it is his nickname and mine's RC. Like the RC Cola. Sige tumawa ka!
I waited for 10 seconds then slide the answer button.
"Bro, you won't believe this."
Alam ko na kagad 'to.
"Babae na naman!"
"Yes but listen to me first."
I did not talk and is waiting for him to continue what he was saying.
"Aren't you gonna ask what is it?"
This...stupid...guy.
"What!"
"So here it is, I met a girl. A cute one, she's actually a freshman like me. Bro! I think - she's the one for me."
I can imagine his face shining and so his eyes. This guy...has no hope in life.
"Lagi namang ganiyan pag may nakikita kang maganda sa paningin mo. As I have said ArCi, stop breaking those pure hearts."
"No bro! I really think this is the right one for me. Her name's Maria Ecos--"
I immediately ended the call dahil alam kong magdadaldal lang yon sa mga kung anong gagawin niya para sa babaeng tinutukoy niya. Tsk, Maria Ecos...Maria?? Ecos? Maria Ecostas? SHIT!
