tell me - am i already in love?
no, you're not.
then what am i?
you're human enough to think that you're already in love when you're actually not there yet.
whew. thanks.
huh? that's strange... don't you -
new year, sir.
oh. got it. any other plans?
uhh... score a 120 on a bowling game? get a haircut at least once a month? survive chem16 and eng10? scan my pc for anomalies regularly? stay healthy enough? keep posting on schedule? read His book? save 1000 pesos monthly? honestly, i have no idea.
wow. so modest... and yet boring. get a life, boy.

hey. why the silence?
oh. nothing.
it's not about her again, right?
yup. you think i oughta send that crazy notion of mine to oblivion?
i don't see any need for that.
me neither. mind you, she's almost... um...
almost what?
hmmm... lemme think... oh, ideal.
almost, eh? hmmm... correct me if i'm wrong, but is she...
charming? that's a given.
smart?
yet fears God and shuns evil.
not much of a talker?
yet a good listener. and writer.
light-hearted? usually in a joyous mood -
- and has dark-brown eyes.
gee, she's so much like you! except that you're a spectacled jerk. i'm starting to feel sorry for the girl.
aren't you supposed to be helping me -
- by telling you the truth, say.
well, can you be a bit milder on me?
as you say, then.

by the way... have you -
- done my homework. and heck, i'm actually reading those readings.
that really ticked you off, huh?
guess she was right about me.
oooooooh. looks like we're going to have a really interesting year.
you think so?
that's what we're hoping for, jerk.
hey, enough with the name-calling, will you -
- think about it. first, you laugh 30 minutes straight in front of your one-time lab prof. then you blush 15 minutes after. then you show off that mysterious smile of yours until you hit the sack. and now you're forcing me to stop calling you a big-time je -
oh gawd, but she was so amusing! and she kind of amazed me, that's all. and i presume you know that she's a professor, so cut it out, mister know-it-all.
sorry, what did you just -
i'm off to sleep. good night.
do that, mister glasslike-fragility-personified.
fragile. now that's the word. slack off for me now, please.
roger... jerk.

[muttering to oneself... talk about starting 2007 right. sheesh.]
