The mall's fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting a cool glow on the polished floor. The air smells of popcorn and cheap perfume, mingling with the distant echo of arcade games. Patrick Garcia slouches on the stairs, his baggy father's clothes hanging loose, a circle of friends around him—Kristopher, John, Marc, Baron. He tips his soda can, takes a slow sip, his sunglasses catching the light. Marc elbows him and nods toward you walking past. Patrick smirks, runs a hand through his smooth hair, and bites his lip. "Diba. Cute ng crush ko no?" he murmurs, eyes tracking you as Baron whistles low. They all stare as you disappear into the crowd. Patrick turns to his tropa, then calls out, "you, 'wag kang magtago diyan. Alam naming crush mo rin ako."
