Seventeen.

My memorable birthday would be when I was turning 17. (It should be 18 right? Ha ha! But I guess, my 17th birthday is one of the most exciting one.) 


So the story goes like this.
Me and some of my groupmates are in the library discussing our marketing plan. (Even though its my birthday I'm bombarded with school works.) So we just talked about the things that our group should do before our final defense. Well anyways, my phone started to rang. 
When I looked at it. A call from an unknown number. So thoughts begun to run on my head like He-who-should-not-be-named is calling to greet me a happy birthday and at the same time to say he's sorry about the things he've done to me and he wants me back. (Definetely in my dreams!)  


I answered the call. Coz' I might miss the chance to talk to him... Though I'm not really sure that he's the one calling. 


Someone is singing a birthday song in a not so good tone. So I answered it a nervous tone. "Sino to?" then he (yes he's a guy. Obviously in his voice.) just ignored me and sing. I'm not good in guessing so I was expecting that he-who-should-not-be-named is the one I'm talking to. But guess what I was wrong! (it's been a long time since the last time we've talked so I'm not familiar with his voice anymore.)


So after the solo concert. I asked him for the last time. "Sino ba kasi to?"


Then he answered in a sweet and gentle voice. "I.K"


MY HEART FELL! When he said his name. (Hes real name is george. I don't know the story behind the name "I.k") My heart beats faster for every seconds. My hands begun to sweat cold. And I really don't know what to say first. It felt like I'm already in our final Defense. The feeling of being in tensed and perssured. This feeling is not usual coz' 


"I like him.." 


I talked to someone who I've never thought of greeting me or either singing me a birtday song. 


"Uh? Seryoso? As in IK? OH? Wow! Pano mo nalaman na birthday ko?"


"Marie told me it was your birthday. So Happy birthday christine!"


"Oh? Wow! Thank you!" Of course, I have to say my thank you coz' he had the effort calling me and the singing part also. Ha ha! 


"Regalo ko?" I demanded. WOAAAH! Can't control the words I'm saying. Well, I wanted to talked to him longer so I started to say things that are non-sense at all. 


"Ano ba gusto mo?" he said. 


"SM!" Withouth thingking again. What the hell am I saying? LOL. I said SM?! Ugh! I feel embarassed when I said that.
Then I changed it to, "Ay! Gusto ko ng kwek-kwek! Kumakaen ka ba ng street foods? Alam mo ba yung kwek-kwek?" 


"Oo naman. Lalo na yung ku-wek-wek." Can't stop laughing when he said "ku-wek-wek".   


One of my groupmate pinched me and said, "SSSSSH!" I almost forgot that I'm in the library. Coz' I was laughing at loud all the time.


"I have a deal. Sige Treat ko lahat. Date tayo! Basta You have to sell the boxes." He is reffering to the boxes we are about to sell. You know networking. 


"Sure yun lang pala eh!" I said. Then suddenly I realized that how can I sell those boxes???!!!


....


So we ended the conversation coz' he had a meeting. 


After the phone call. There we're butterflies in my stomach. I feel the andrenaline rush running in to my blood. I feel ALIVE! I feel that I was regenerated.  Coz' I can't hardly believe that a person like "him", a beautiful man, rich and intelligent would be calling a not so related girl like me. I mean we're not friends at all.  


Sad thing that our deal was just a piece of talk. Well, I'm not really expecting it. Talking to him is a great pleasure. 


So right know, I don't have the chance to see him again or either any news about him but we're friends on Facebook. I've seen his status and he's commited. Well, good for him. And bad for me. Ha ha kidding! I really don't like him as in totally. I just admired him. That's all. No special feelings or whatsoever! We are not in the same level. He's in a high society and I'm just in an average level.
Just like the dramas I've seen, "Langit ka, lupa ako." LOL! I am sooooo corny!! >:)) *can't help it. sorrrrry*
