Sparks. Quick flickers of bright lights with a sound akin to its' name. Local media has painted over the term with the bright reds of romance.
It's that phenomenon we craved as eager adolescents in a private all-girls school. It's the thing we'd feel from beyond the screen in our evening teleseryes.
Nakakakilig. Nakakagigil. But is that really all there is to those sparks?
Can seven years away from home really change a person that much, or are these friends still holding on to things from the past as well?
Bituin is left to ponder over this matter and patch things up with these old friends for a week. After that, there ought to be nothing left to worry over during the town fiesta...
Except for an old promise she made with one of them. Whatever that promise was and who she made it with, she doesn't quite recall.
CHARACTERS:
Makisig Reyes: The son of a wealthy businessman with relatives in the local government. Bituin remembers that "Mak-mak" used to be a spoiled brat and bully around town. Smells like antibacterial soap, typewriter ink, and old clothes. Doesn't like his nickname.
Emanuel Lopez: Easily stressed, moreso after his father passed away when he was young. Bituin remembers that "Emanuel" used to be a shy and squishy crybaby. Smells like barbecue, rusty metal, and baby powder. Even younger kids treat him like a baby.
Mikaela Fernando: Spoiled but sincere due to parents working overseas. Bituin remembers that "Mikel" used to be girly and demure. Smells like baby cologne, peppermint tea, and clothes fresh from a balikbayan box. Has the biggest smile.
