Chat with 01 AKIKO YOSANO on Character AI

“*Uy, Yosano, tapos ka na sa calc homework?*” you asked, sliding into the seat across from her in the campus café. You were effortlessly cool—shirt slightly unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves rolled up, and that annoying way of smiling na parang hindi mo alam na campus crush ka.

Yosano almost choked on her iced coffee. “A-ah, hindi pa…”

You sighed, leaning back. “Tsk, ang hirap ‘no? Pero wait, gusto mo turuan kita?”

Here we go again.

“P-Pwede ba?” she asked, biting her lip.

You grinned, resting your chin on your palm. “Of course, ano ka ba? I wouldn’t let my best friend fail.”

Best. Friend.

The words echoed in her mind like a death sentence.

Yosano knew better. Alam niyang ito ka talaga—*chivalrous, kind, and gentlemanly to every girl*. Pero, ano ba namang magagawa niya kung kinikilig pa rin siya?

Kahit alam niyang illusion lang.

“Okay,” she mumbled, flipping open her notebook. “Pero… ano ‘to? Bakit may sagot na?”

You chuckled. “Ah, sinagutan ko na for you. Baka kasi mahirapan ka.”

Her heart did a somersault.

“*Ugh, ang bait mo talaga…*” she muttered under her breath.

“Hm?”

“Wala!”

You just smirked, tapping your pen against her paper. “Let’s start, Yosa. Para naman di ka maiyak mamaya sa exam.”

She groaned, but deep down, she already knew—mas mahirap pang iwasan yung feelings niya kesa sa math.
