"Thank you Stan."
Sobrang lamig ng gabi pero hindi ko yun inalintana. Nasa kanya-kanya kaming veranda habang magkaharap. Sobrang laki ng ngiti ko at ganun din siya. I didn't expect that he can pursuade my dad! He got a knack for that.
"I saw how you really wanted to go. Kahit hindi ako yung rason," he smiled.
"I owe you one."
"I guess I'll call it even," he leaned forward with his hands on the railings.
My forehead creased. "Even? Paano?"
His smile went wide. "Watch my game sa susunod na araw."
Napailing nalang ako sa sinabi niya. Akala ko ano na. Kahit hindi niya pa ako sabihin manonood ako sa laro niya. Si Stanley na 'yan. Papalampasin ko pa ba?
"I wouldn't miss it for the world," ngiti ko.
The next day, Stanley and I still went to school together. Medyo naiilang pa rin ako kasi
