I apologize for the late update, my readers.

"Hayy tapos na!"sabi ko habang nag snack kami dito sa canteen.
"Sana all."sabi ng mga kaibigan ko. Bukas pa sila sa kanilang report, kaya sobrang stress na nila ngayon. Ang daming papel nga sa lamesa eh, dahil nag-aral sila. While me? Nabawasan ang mga gagawin ko. Ang kailangan ko na gawin ay mag-aral para sa exam. December na din kasi kaya malapit na iyong sem break.
"Unfair iyan, te. Magkasama ang mga matalino."Nakasimangot niyang sabi.
"Don't blame me."I shrugged my shoulders."If I was given the option, I wouldn't want to be paired with Jace."They gazed at me like I had grown two heads.
"Luh. Enemies parin?"Natasha asked. I didn't answer her question and just smiled at her. I stood up and grabbed my things.
"Library muna ako. I need to study."sabi ko sa kanila. They all just nodded and went back to their work. I walk towards the library while holding my books in my hands. My hair was tied in a bun and I am wearing my reading glasses. Halatang haggard ako, habang naglalakad papunta sa library.
As I entered inside, I spotted Jace reading in the corner. He took off his glasses and massaged his forehead, looking all stressed. I felt something heavy in my stomach as I stared at him. I saw him sigh and look up. His brown eyes widened when he saw me, then it became neutral. I don't know what just happened, but I started walking towards him. Nakatitig parin siya sa akin habang naglalakad ako papunta sa pwesto niya.
Nang makarating ako sa harapan niya ay nagkatitigan kami. Hindi alam kung anong gagawin. I just found myself walking on the side towards another table beside him and took my seat. I know it was f*cking dumb. I saw how Jace's eyebrows furrowed as he followed me with a stare. And that's why I can't face him. I sighed and started opening my books and my papers and started studying.
I heard a noise of a chair scraping. Hindi ko pinansin iyon kasi baka aalis na siya. I mean who wants to study beside a person who just made things complicated?
I looked up when books were put in front of me. My eyes widened when I saw Jace fix his glasses before taking the seat across from me.
What the f*ck is he doing with the same table as me?!
"What are you doing?"I asked him, incredulously.
"Sitting?" he asked in such sarcasm that it made me scoff. "And studying."
"Ano bang ginagawa mo dito?!"inis kong sabi. I saw how his eyebrows arched. He looks like he is trying to read me, but I didn't give him that. But the way he stares at me, made something flip inside me. Napaiwas ako ng tingin ng mararamdaman ko ang paglakas ng tibok sa aking puso.
"Like I said. I'm sitting and studying," he said. "What's the problem?" He put his arms on the table and leaned towards me.
"Wala, "I answered, not taking my eyes off him. If I looked away, he would sense my nervousness. My heart continued to beat at a fast pace. Kulang nalang ay hahawakan ko ito at pakakalmahin.
"Are you all right?"
"Hindi. Hindi ako okay."
"Why?" I can sense the nervousness in his tone. My brows furrowed. Why would he act like that?
"Kasi nandyan ka, "I smirked at him. A scoff escapes his lips.
He leaned in his chair and crossed his arms. D*mn."This is a public place, Mon Tresor. I can take wherever seat I please."He said. "Do you need to start a problem between us?" he asked and my mouth went dry. I can sense the coldness in his tone. "After the project, I thought we would have progressed."
