A few days after the build, Darhyl invited Maria to eat lunch at Kenny Rogers which is in the middle of their schools. Maria again being shy brought her friend Julia with her. The lunch went fine. It was a little bit awkward, but it was fine. However, there is one thing about their lunch that both of them and even Julia wouldn't forget. And that is the MISSING TOOTH. Darhyl lost his front tooth the day before the scheduled 'lunch'. And because he was worried that Maria would have a bad impression on him, he didn't cancel the 'lunch'. He instead faced and talked to Maria with his hand sometimes covering the thing that is missing.
Darhyl and Maria became good friends. The 'lunch' didn't change anything really. There was no day that passed without a text from the other one. Maria of course playing hard to get always made sure that Darhyl would be the one to text first. Darhyl would go fetch Maria and bring her to the shuttle terminal everytime she has to go home late. Darhyl brought Maria things she likes - flowers, chocolates, mangga with bagoong etc. They became so close that they started being comfortable around each other. Darhyl also had an early chance to meet Maria's cousins at Maria's cousin's party. This was after the High School Dance at Maria's school wherein Darhyl was her date. Darhyl stressed out that Maria didn't ask him to be her date. According to Darhyl, Maria just told him that she is bringing him with her, no questions asked. Of course, it would be too hard on Maria to ask someone out given that she is a girl, instead she demanded.
That's a cute way Maria did to get Dharhyl to be her date =) Also, speaking of lost tooth, my ex had a missing one before!
