Ashree woke up because her phone beep up again and again and she knew it was a notification, she search her phone on her side table or her bed and tried to open her eyes. Pagbukas niya ng phone niya ay nakita niya ang FB app na may 99+ notifications, she opened her FB account and went to notification.

"My god, I'm the first one who added him? Well that's my style, gusto ko ako ang nag f-first moves."
She can see the hundreds like of her profile picture, hundreds comments and 70 shares. She became a famous user so fast huh?
She went to the messages and Deb, Rome and others strangers message her but of all the messages she received someone got her attention.
It was Evander Rye D. again.
"Ano? Ise-seen ko ba?" Wala sa sariling tanong niya sa sarili, she shook her head.
"No no no, I'm still sleepy no... Go back to sleep, self!" aniya at pinatay ang phone tska muling pinikit ang mata, gusto niyang matulog but she can't go back to sleep.
Not now, because he's still on her mind, that Evander Rye D always on her mind.
Deb and Rome were quiet, as Ashree looked back at her message and took her look seriously because she saw a message from strangers. She clicked the chat and she was surprised to see what picture it was.
Photo of Evan while walking out of his house, at hindi lang iyon. Nakatangga rin siya ng emoji, emoji na isang tao lang ang alam niyang gumagawa no'n.

She felt the danger again, she knew that emoji meant especially Evan's picture.

Wala siyang sinayang na oras dahil alam niyang 8 minutes ang tagal para mailigtas niya si Evan sa kapahamakan, she ignored calls from Deb and Rome and she ran out of school. She got on her motor at pina-harurot ito.
Kinonek niya ang tawag kay H, at nagsa-salita habang nagma-maneho.
"H, find the location of Evander." aniya, breathing so fast.
"What? Oh copy, uhm... he was close to Chremiz's house and and he was about to ride in tricycle. Ate, what's going on?" Ashree didn't speak, pinutol niya ang tawag at nag focus sa pagdrive.
Why I'm worried for him? It's feel like he's my responsibility, even if he's not.
Biglang may tumawid na aso sa daanan niya kaya napapreno siya ng wala sa oras, dahilan para mawalan siya ng balanse at mapatagilid ang balanse niya at nagasgas ang leather jacket na suot niya. Muntik pa siyang tumama sa likod ng kotse buti na lang napigilan niya, hindi niya ininda ang sakit ng braso at tuhod niya.
She opened her FB account again, one message from D'omata.
3⃣
Three minutes nalang, wala ng oras kaya pinilit niyang tumayo at aayusin na sana niya ang motor niya ng may mag chat uli sakaniya.
😂 🎉 🥂
Sh*t.
She saw a drone facing her, she knows that it's from D'omato.
F*ck, naloko niya ako.
D'omata
🃏
She raised her middle finger in front of the drone, and ride the motor back to school.
When she entered the room Deb and Rome was there, nag-aalala ang mata nila habang nakatingin kay Ashree.
"What happened to your jacket, Ashe? What happened to you?!" But Ashree no comments, because she was looking at Evan that was right in front of her.
"R-ree, b-bakit may sugat iyang tuhod mo?" Evan said, worried.
Ashree still no comments and she grabbed Evan's arm out of the room, they stopped at the place without students.
Ashree takes a deep breath, while Evan is swallowing so hard.
"A-are you ok, Ree?"
"You, are you fine?" Naguluhan si Evan sa tanong ni Ashree kaya hindi siya nakasagot.
"Why? Why I feel that kargo kita, why I was so worried about you earlier, why? Your not important to me, your just a loser from my sight but why... B-bakit labis akong nag-alala sayo na parang hindi ako makahinga kapag alam kong na sa panganib ka."
Evan stared at Ashree and couldn't speak, he can't understand what Ashree says but he feels that Ashree was so very worried about him. And he's happy because of that.
"R-ree, I don't understand what you said but... I want you to know that even if you are not at risk I am worried about you, at hindi rin ako makahinga kapag alam kong na sa panganib ka..." Napatulala si Ashree.
One last question, why can't I take my look away from you..
Sa isip ni Ashree, pinilit alisin ang tingin kay Evan.
"Ree.."
"You stay away from me, stay away." Huling sinabi ni Ashree bago naglakad palayo kay Evan.
Bumagsak ang tingin ni Evan sa sahig, he was shocked by Ashree's comments but at the same time he was happy to find out that Ashree had a care for him.
Ashree saw Evan that walked to the bench with carrying a lunch box, but before that Ashree receives chat from Evan and she seen it.
Evander Rye D.
Do you eat, Ree? If not, I'm on the bench. Eat with me...
She typed and replied back to Evan.
Ashree M.
Not yet but I'm not hungry, thanks.
Sent.
Ashree looked back at Evan's place and saw Evan looking at his phone while typing, Ashree suddenly found herself smiling like an idiot. So she returned her no expression.
Evander Rye D.
Ahh, gano'n ba... Okay just uhm, eat your lunch and don't let your stomach empty :-)
'What's with the smile face? It's must be sad face, ako tuloy ang nalungkot bigla, tsk' Sa isip ni Ashree.
At dahil nakunsensya si Ashree sa chat niya ay lumapit siya kay Evan.
"R-ree..." Evan whispered, Ashree smiled at him.
'Your hazel eyes will be my favorite part of your face and your big hand will always remind me that you can fight, not just for self but also for me...'
"Hey, I just want you to know that... We can eat, together..." Ashree said, meaningful to Evan's ear.
After they finished eating, Ashree and Evan went to the gym to teach Evan how to fight again. She becomes a fighting tutor of Evan and she like it, never doubts. She's still wondering if Evans became a great fighter, a great protector of his self. She can't wait to see how Evan grown up with her.
"Evan! Stay here, I'll buy water." ani Ashree, Evan nodded at her.
As Ashree walked out of the gym she felt the danger that followed her, she can smell it, it's smell like sh*t. She saw a man standing across the street looking at her, the man wore a red leather jacket and black cap with black not transparent sunglasses.
She knows who the man is, The man raised his right hand and held a red bottom . It was a red bottom of a bomb, Ashree's eye widened and went back to the gym. She immediately called Evan's name and Evan look at her, wondering.
"R-ree? Why? W-what's wrong?" But Ashree didn't answer his questions and Ashree grabbed his arm and pulled out of the gym.
When they got away from the gym it suddenly exploded, they were the only people in the gym and people were away from the area so no one was hurt. Ashree held on to her chest and worried to look at Evan, Evan's look so worried to Ashree too.
"A-are you okay?" Sabay nilang sabi sa isa't isa.
Ashree nodded.
"I'm fine.. But I will not be able to fine again because you're in danger because of me..." Ashree said, Evan shook his head and held Ashree's hand.
"N-no... I'm fine with you, I'm safe with you and I can protect myself with you. So don't ever say that again, I'm not in danger to you Ree..."
'No Evan, you know nothing'
"I-if I tell you that I'm a monster, will you be able to stay with me or--" Ashree stopped speaking as Evan touched her cheek, she shocked.
"There's no reason for me to stay away from you, you're not a monster and even if you are then I'll stay no matter what happened, as long as I have you..."
