Crissy:
Vee, why aren't you yet in school?

Olivia:
On my way to school now. Why?

Crissy:
Nah, I'm just feeling lonely.

Olivia:
Where are you? Are you okay?

Olivia:
Aren't you the same class with my brother? Where is he?

Crissy:
I'm with your brother now, but he's busy.

Olivia:
He's always busy.

Crissy:
Yeah, well.

Crissy:
I don't know if it just me or what, but it was as if something had changed in him.

Olivia:
Oh.

Olivia:
What do you mean?

Crissy:
He's nice to me naman. I just don't really know how to put these in words to describe what I feel.

Crissy:
You know why I rejected him before, right? We're still young back then. I was not ready. Now that I'm ready, he is casual yet distant.

Crissy:
He isn't the same as before.

Olivia:
You two need to talk.

Crissy:
We already did. He said that I should be happy with someone else, not him.

Crissy:
It fucking hurts, Vee.

Crissy:
And now, seeing him frequently watches his phone as if expecting a text from someone. It broke my heart watching him secretly smiling.

Crissy:
It hurts.

Crissy:
It used to be me before.

Olivia:
I think the best thing you do is to move on now. My brother had already moved on.

Olivia:
His life isn't always revolves around you. He has a life, too.

Olivia:
What you see right now, I believe he deserved it. He deserved to be happy.

Olivia:
So you are, but with someone else. I hope you understand.
