Bihira na kaming magkasamang lumabas ni Alvin dahil papalapit na ang mid-term exam, and I don't want us get caught while hanging out on each others campus dahit saan naman ay nasa paligid lang mga pinsan namin na pwede kaming mahuli anumang oras kaya mas pinipili namin ni Alvin mag plano bago magkita sa labas, but we still enjoy our time messaging each other.

I like how Alvin understand and respect all of my decision and said that it was for the sake of me and comfortable space so he's not against abut it, but there's also some times that Alvin secretly visit me whenever he want us to eat outside while vacant.

Palagi na din akong puyat dahil kakaaral sa school library o sa bahay ng mga dapat na ipasok sa utak at mga kailangang aralin para paparating na exams at thesis, and iba pang requirements sa school.

"Group study tayo." Aya ni Livia habang wala pa ang prof namin. Kakapasok ko pa lang ng room nung bigla siyang magsalita. Mabilis na lumapit sa amin si Yuven dahil sa narinig.

"Sama ako!" Masiglang aniya.

"Ikaw, Juls?" Tanong ni Yuven at tumingin sa akin.

"Sama ka?" Tanong ni Liva.

"Nope, rather be alone studying." I shooked my head to them.

I have a weird habit on studying everywhere that they would find weird.
I like focusing on things that matter the most, and no one could make me distracted when it comes to studying. Maboboringan lang sila sa akin kapag lumabas kami na magkasama dahil libro lang ang kaharap ko.

"KJ mo naman, Julie!" Singhal sa akin ni Livia. Hindi ko na sila pinansin at hinayaan na lang silang mag bulungan sa likuran ko tungkol sa magiging lakad nila mamaya.

Makulit at mapilit silang kasama at katabi kahit alam kong ramdam nilang ayaw ko silang nakakasama dahil sa pagsusungit ko minsan. Pinipilit nilang maging malapit sa akin sa hindi ko malaman na dahilan.

"I'm happy that your grades are still stable like before, as what we expect for you to happen!" Mom proudly said while staring at my laptop where my first semester grades are showing.

"You're so lucky to have a high grades on your collage stage Julie, keep up the good work." Bulong ni daddy habang haplos haplos ang tiyan ni mommy na lumalaki na.

Ngumiti lamang ako bago nag pasalamat.

Hearing them saying and appreciating all of my hard works makes my heart melt more for them, should I feel more proud after they praised my hard work on my academics. I never regret holding a books at a very young age and buying a book now that helps me a lot.

They raised me a lot don't allow me on everything, they taught me everything to make reach this level, they taught me how o be independent even if they so strict about me. I was about to speak again when my phone suddenly ring. Kinuha ko 'yun sa side table para sagutin.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call," paalam ko.

"Go ahead, hija."

Tumango si daddy habang nakatingin sa iritang mukha ni mom. Naglakad na ako palabas ng kwarto ko bago nagpunta sa kabilang kwarto para pumunta sa living room.

"What is it, Pam?" I asked after answering the call.

"Are you free? I baked red velvet and chocolate cake and other sweets, do you want to try?" Walang prenong sabi niya.
