Liam's Pov

Damn it! It's Monday again. The hallway was filled with banners about the upcoming Acquaintance party on Friday and everyone look pretty hype, everyone except me.

Hindi namin kasama si Sandrew, we haven't heard anything from him, wala din naman siya sa headquarters kahapon and we can't contact him either. For sure hindi 'yun bumalik sa bahay ng tatay niya...saan naman kaya pupunta ang tukmol na 'yun? He better not suicide, or else I'll beat his ass down kapag nag kita kami sa impyerno.

"Papasok na kaya si Drew ngayon?" Tanong ni Ace.

"I don't know, may balita ka na ba doon?"

"Wala nga e, 'di ko pa din ma-tawagan."

"Me too. What's up with him?" Ace just shrug his shoulders, as we parted our ways papunta sa kaniya-kaniya naming classroom.

Nakita ko ka agad si Tiffany pag pasok ko ng personality development class sa usual niyang kinakaupuan, chatting with that wimp na naka upo na naman sa tabi niya. I walk towards them and I stood infront of the wimp, that made them stop talking and look up at me.

"You know the drill, Philip." I lazily said to the wimp.

"It's, Perseus." He firmly said, not making an eye contact to me. Pa-strong ka pang hayop ka.

"Fine, Perseus or whatever the hell your name is. Now get out of the way para maka upo na ako." Inis kong sabi, but he didn't make a move and I noticed Tiffany glaring at me, so I rolled my eyes in irritation. Kung ayaw niyang mag pa upo edi 'wag! Suntukin ko siya e.

"You know what? Nevermind. I don't have time arguing with losers." Inis kong sabi, seating in a vacant seat in the middle row, in the left sa may dulo na may bintana.

After I got home from me and Tiffany's hang out, tinawagan ko ulit siya pero it's either bababaan niya ko o papatayan niya ako. Napaka pabebe e, kala mo naman.

The dreading two boring hours of class finally ends. I rush out of the room, the moment Tiffany and her wimp of a friend went out. I followed them and grab Tiffany's arm, and face her to me. She had a frown on her face, and her face is full of confusion.

"Anong problema mo?" Halong pag tataka at inis niyang tanong.

"Ikaw, anong problema mo?" Tanong ko pa balik, with a mock in my voice. Perseus just stood at her back, watching like a stupid dog. Tiffany sigh, as she turn her head to face Perseus, to give him a nod and an assuring smile before the fucktard left. Then Tiffany face me again, so I let go of her arm.

"What the hell is your problem?" Tanong ko ulit. "Nung Friday naman ayos pa tayo ah, why aren't you answering my calls?"

"Tapos na naman 'yung project natin diba? Ito naman 'yung gusto mo umpisa pa lang, I'm just doing what you want." Sagot niya, that made me frown.

"I thought we're friends." Inis kong sabi.

"Pero sabi mo we can't just be friends and Liam hindi ako gaya ng mga babaeng dati mong naka sama, I know what you meant is us being friends with benefits. But unfortunately for you I'm not that kind of girl." Tiffany explained. I wanted to laugh, but I choose not to. Hindi na din ako naka sagot, not because ayaw ko na mag salita but because wala na akong masabi, because she kinda had a point.
