-psyche pov-

"dadating ba daw si dad manong leo?" kanina pa ako nakasakay dito sa sasakyan sa harap ng university para intayin si dad pero ang tagal naman nya dumating.

"hindi ko po alam miss eh" he answered immediately. 30 minutes na kaya akong naghihintay dito huhuhu

"intayin ko na lang sya manong sa loob, don't worry i will call him" manong was hesistating at first but when i dialed on my phone, tumango na din naman sya kaya lumabas na ako ng sasakyan.

sinubukan ko ulit tawagan si dad but hindi naman sya sumasagot kaya tumuloy na ako sa pagpasok ng univeristy.

it was like a typical school full of buildings around, medyo madami nga lang trees dito unlike sa current school ko which is relaxing. madami ding benches kaya agad akong umupo doon saka nag text kay dad na sa loob ko na lang sya iintayin.

i was watching the people passed by me. may ilan na naka white coat at may mga stethoscope sa leeg. they looked so cool.

"psyche?" i immediately turned my head on the right when someone called me.

"hyomin?" i gasped.. what are they doing here?

"and sara" a short haired girl showed herself

"with hyeri" i felt my knee weakened even though i am already sitting.

"you will going to enroll here?" hyomin walked towards me with her bitch face. i tightened my fist. god knows how much i got tired by just running away from these three...

"i- n-no.. my dad was jus-" sara and hyeri sat beside me making me frozen on my position.

"your dad? or he told you to stick on me again so you can get higher scores?" she laughed.. that laughed.. please tell me i am just dreaming...

"as if! she's always been the loser psyche we know though!" sara exclaimed playing the tip of my hair strands

"and i heard you need to pass the entrance exam.. so don't you even try.. you will fail din naman eh" sara said, making the two laughed.

"how are you psyche? we missed our slave though... but we are happy that you are gone anyway" i saw how hyomin smiling infront of me while trying to get my sling bag on my hand.

"let me see if you still the rich but loser and stupid psyche we knew.." i was about to snatched my bag away from her so i can walked out but she already threw my things on the floor.

pinahaba ko pa ang pasensya ko sa ginawa nilang pagtingin sa mga cosmetics at wallet ko sa bag.

"huh.. still rich, i want this one!" kinuha ni sara yung mirror atsaka tiningnan ang sarili doon.

"i think this is new.. let me have this" hyeri examined the liptint i just bought online yesterday.

"i want the bag" i was about to protest but she threw me a death glare making my lips pursed. i just want to cry so did i..

i thought everything will be somehow fine now... why are they still here? please, i am so done...

"ohhh.. the baby is crying..." hyomin tried to get off my hair on my face while smiling looking at my crying face. they must missing this.

"what should we do?" they acted like they are panicking but they still laughed together.

the laughed i hate the most.

"psyche?" sabay-sabay kaming napalingon sa tumawag sa akin. i was sniffing and adjusting my eyes because of the tears.

"what are you doing to her?" when i finally had a chance to wiped my tears away i saw "jake?" he threw a looked on me before looking back on hyomin, who stunned.

"w-what are you saying? w-we are friends" she smiled awkwardly. sara and hyeri nudging me to say something.

"uh.. jake.. l-let's go" i finally said before grabbing his hand and walked away. "your things..." he stopped but i used my energy to pull him more.

"it's fine.." i almost whispered.

i almost lost my balance when i recall all the things happened earlier.

i thought.. i finally ran away...

"psyche!" jake held my arms and helped me to sit on the gazebo near us.

he didn't talked but he didn't released his hand on my back.. he was rubbing it letting me calm down.

i am so thankful for him for so many reasons...

"ar-" he stopped himself from talking when my phone rang.. dad.. i sighed and i looked at him with disbelief, i felt like he understand everything so he nodded and i stood up, still gathering my strength.

"are you sure you are okay now?" i gave him a fake smile, "dad is waiting.. please just pretend that.. you didn't see me here, thank you jake"
