Chapter 2

"Uyyy...Devz, si Sam oh......," sabi ni Fretzie. "Haayyy...ang gwapo nya talaga noh, Fretz," sabi ni Devon . Sam Perez, ang heartthrob ng campus. Star player ng basketball team at siya rin ang most popular guy sa campus. "Tara, next na ang class ni Ms. Cruz, terror pa naman yun, buti na lang same tayo ng class this year," sabi ni Fretzie.

"Okay class, ia-assign ko na ang magiging partners nyo this year," sabi ni Ms Cruz. "Sanchez at Alvarez....." at nagsabi pa ng iba pang names si Ms Cruz. "Reyes at Perez," sabi ni Ms Cruz. Nagtagpo ang mga mata ng dalawa. At sabay silang ngumiti sa isa't isa. Magkatabi ang upuan nilang dalawa. "Hi. I'm Sam Perez," sabi ni Sam. "Devon Reyes," sabi ni Devon at nakipag-kamay kay Sam. "Uhm, so about sa song project natin....." sabi ni Devon. "Marunong akong mag- guitar at mag piano," sabi ni Sam. "Ako din. Magaling ka bang kumanta?" sabi ni Devon. "Di ko alam. Depende siguro sa nakikinig kasi sila ang magdedecide," sabi ni Sam. "Parinig naman ng boses mo," sabi ni Devon. "Okay," sabi ni Sam. Nanghiram sya ng gitara at nagsimulang kumanta.

Even if the sun refused to shine
Even if we lived in different time
Even if the ocean left the sea
There would still be you and me

"Wow," Devon is speechless. "Ang galing mo naman," sabi ni Devon. "Ikaw naman," sabi ni Sam, handing her the guitar.

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me, you belong with me
"Ikaw din naman, ang galing mo eh," sabi ni Sam. "Thanks," sabi ni Devon, blushing. "Are you free today? So we can decide what song we'll use for the project," tanong ni Sam. "Sure. I'll meet you sa school gate mamaya?" sabi ni Devon. "Sure. See you later Devon." The school bell rang. They said good bye to each other.

Little did she know, there's a surprise waiting for her at home.
