That night, Anabel did not fall asleep immediately. She was thinking about how to get into Johnny's school without the guard rebuking her.
She stared at the ceiling for a long moment until an idea came to her mind. Anabel punched the air for her bright idea.
"Ok. I'll cook banana que. That's what I'll bribe those two guards." She decided and laugh happily.
The next day she was carrying a banana que in one hand while the other was a rose.
Security Inggo saw her immediately. "Hi man. For you two" She handed casually the bag of banana que.
Security Inggo eagerly took the bag. "Hey hija, you don't have to bother" He said and called his companion, security Rod..
While the two were eating the banana que, Anabel spoke. "The truth is that there is a substitute for that banana que.."
"What is it hija.. What's your name by the way?" Security Rod said.
"Annabel, Mr."
"How delicious of this banana. You were the to cooked it?" Security Inggo while munching.
"Yes,.. I worked hard for that.."
Security Inggo nodded. "Eh, what's in exchange?"
"In return, I will go inside the campus to see Johnny.. " She declared.
The two security guard looked at each other regretfully.
"Don't say no, the banana que is gone" She said smiling, she's so proud of her self to tricked those two guard.
The two did nothing but let Anabel in. It was about nine o'clock at that time. He met a man that around Johnny's age. She called him
"Brother! Brother .. Do you know where the business management building is?" She was glad the man heard her.
"Yes, just go straight," he said, extending his hand in front of him. "Then when you get to the very end, turn to your right there you will read the big letters Business management. Okay.. ?"
"Okay thank you good bro. I'll continue" She say her thanks and was shocked when the man hold her arm, she immediately let go her arm from the hold of good stranger that turn into bad.
"Wait a minute, I'm just going to ask your name.. I'm Joben by the way" he winked at her. He raised the hand that had hold her earlier and hand out to initiate a shake hand. Anabel knew just by him winking at her that his a Playboy and ladies man.
She accepted Joben's hand. "Annabel."
For the second time Anabel jolted of shocked when Joben kissed her fist.
"Can I have your number? So I can always be here on the hallway when you come and willing to be your guide" He said not letting go of her hand.
"What number is that?" She pointed out. Ignoring the willing to be your guide.
"Your cell phone number"
Anabel raised her eyebrows that she considered as one of the world wonders. "Sorry mister, I'm not available anymore. I'm not single anymore, I'm taken" She said just as he saw Johnny's group approaching. "And I'm taken by that gay" and point at Johnny who was approaching them with an knitted forehead.
"I'm only asking for a number. Who the hell is.." Joben couldn't finish what he was saying when he saw what she was talking about. "Holy...shit!" ..
"Did you just curse at me?" Anabel asked sternly.
"No, why would i?"
"Good. Now, walkaway!" She was annoyed at him for cursing her or Johnny.
She met Johnny halfway and gave him the rose. "Did you get the flower yesterday.?"
Johnny nodded. He held her arm. "Excuse me girls" he said to his friends. Anabel was pulled somewhere, she was surprised at what Johnny did. They stopped in the shade of a mango tree, there were not many people there.
"Wait, why did you drag me here" she asked in surprise.
He looked away from her. The earlier furrowed brows were replaced by confusion. "Because I want to say how did you get inside.?" Johnny said questioningly.
"Haha I bribed the two old young guards so I got in" she said proudly then laugh. "Did you get the flower yesterday?" She asked again when he didn't answer earlier.
"Yes" he smiled... "can't believe You're still giving me flowers, hmm?" It said..
"Well, yes, because I like you so much.. Answer me now." She urged.
Johnny laughed softly. Anabel smiled too, she was mesmerize by the beauty of his smile..
She put her palm to her cheeks and dreamily spoke. "You are really handsome Johnny. When will you accept my heart?"
He looked away. "You look ugly for doing that."
"Hey, I guess you want me to kiss you.. I'm so cute. Just answer me and you can kiss me anytime, anywhere. And I'm not kidding." She even wet her lips with his tongue. Let's just see if he won't be attracted to My soft lips. said in her mind.
His drifted and It took a long time for him to answer. "Yuck!! You're really disgusting.." He said with a grim face.. His voice are become artistic
All of a sudden, the illusion of him being attracted to her, disappeared.

In the following days, her routine returned to normal. In the morning he will go to Johnny's school. Then talk to Manong Inggo and Manong Rod while waiting for Johnny. She gives him the flower and tells him how much she likes him, then his response is sarcastic and indignant, but he accepts the rose.
Until the days turned into weeks. The weeks became the month. And the months turned into years. Her graduation came and she didn't expect him to come, she's so happy he come, Johnny congratulated her then he also gave her a gift. He was about to leave when she forced for them to take a picture. Arriving at their house, Anabel rushed to her room and quickly opened Johnny's gift.
"Ayy! Pervert! Pervert! Pervert!" She said in a panicked and whispered cry. Because Johnny gave her a pair of panties and a bra. That gay guy is really hiding something.
She noticed a piece of paper that stuck in the gifts. She read it.
"Its payback time." She read the letter. She was confused until she remembered her graduation gift to Johnny
She laughed hard. "Payback time indeed" Anabel gave him a boxer and a shirt back then. What's worse is that he stamped the front and back of the boxer as well as the shirt with 'Anabel's property'.
He quickly check up if the panties and bra also had a brand on them but they didn't. She would have loved it more to have the 'Johnny's property' brand as well, but it's okay too since Johnny attend her graduation and just gift her and….. her cheeks flushed
