Torn between two lovers?!

Yes, you read it right! Our favorite love triangle are now in College thus this is the Collegiate edition of STS!

Francesca Morales seems to be spending quality time on both guys. Last Saturday, she attended the 18th birthday of Juan Carlos San Miguel at their luxurious hotel and resort in Tagaytay. See photo below where she was one of the 18 shots.

The next day after she was seen with Joaquin Da Silva at Sta. Ana's Annual fiesta fair. See image below where both are strolling holding hands and carrying two stuffed toys won at the booth. Aren't they cute?

Who is your bet? Are you Team Joaquin or Team JC? We can't wait who will Cess choose?

See you on our next scoop! Xoxoxo

-JC-

Nabasa ko na naman ang STS at medyo nagalit kasi sinama ni Cess si Joaquin sa peryahan na ritual namin every year. Ang nakakaasar pa is naipanalo ni Joaquin ang shooting at darts game.

Hindi ako masaya noong birthday ko kasi lasing ako at hindi ko nasolo or naasikaso si Cess. She didn't reply about what I said at my room. Isasama ko sana siya sa perya yun nga lang naunahan ako ni Joaquin.

"Pare may acquaintance party pala tayo! Meet more chicks!" Sabi sa akin Leo.

"Oo nga noh. Pero delayed na kasi 2nd sem is fast approaching. Mabuti ito at masosolo ko si Cess." Sabi ko naman.

"Next week na noh? Grabe ang bilis ng panahon parang kailan lang nang grumaduate tayo. Baka paggising ko graduate na ulit tayo." Singit naman ni Nick.

"If you passed... Mahilig ka ata sa tres eh." Biro ni Leo at nagtawanan kamig lahat.

College is hard but making Cess fall for me is harder.

-Cess-

"Bes! Our acquaintance is next week na!" Excited si Sam kasi magkikita na naman sila ni Leo.

Yes, bes na ang tawagan namin dahil mas close na kami ni Sam compared to JC. Iba talaga kapag babae kasi ang ka-close mo.

"Oo nga eh. Siya nga pala di ba marunong mag tumogtug ng gitara?" Tanong ko kay Sam.

"Yeah! Bakit naman?" Sagot ni Sam habang naglalakad kami papunta gym for PE class.

"Ako kasi ang representative ng nursing department. We can have an acoustic session." Sabi ko naman.

"Sige! Para magulat si Leo sa special talent ko. Anong song pala kakantahin mo?"

"Tattooed on my mind by D' Sound."

"Hulaan ko... Para kay Joaquin yan noh?" Tanong ni Sam na nakataas ang kilay.

"Uhmm..." Nag-iisip pa ako ng dahilan.

"Don't deny it bes. Alam ko na mas matimbang sa puso mo yang Joaquin the hotness."

"Ganun ba ako ka-obvious?"

"Oo at saka seryoso ka ba sa leave-it-to-fate-to-decide drama mo sa debut mo?"

"Bahala na basta. Siya nga pala ano susuotin mo sa acquaintance?" Pag-iiba ko ng usapan.

Hindi ako sure if uubra iyon pero I'm praying to God to give me the right man. Two more months to go and I can finally choose who.

Ace Academy's College Acquaintance Party

Medyo late na kami dumating ni Sam kasi papalit-palit pa siya ng damit. Pumunta na kami sa show coordinator para sabihin na ready na kami sa acoustic number namin.

Nagtext sa akin si JC na andito na sila pero dahil madami ang tao ay hindi ko siya makita. Nagstart na yung show with every department may representative.

"Let's now call on the reigning Acean's Songbird Francesca Morales with Samantha Cheng of the College of Nursing."

Pumalakpak ang mga tao at pumanhik na kami ni Sam sa taas. Nang naka-setup na kami ay nagsalita si Sam.

"This is dedicated to Cess's someone special." Tapos nagcheer ang mga tao at tiningan ko siya ng masakit tpos tumugtog na siya.

"Baby you'll soon forget about all,

or maybe you'll miss it like I do.

One thing's for sure I'm on a doubt, spend too much time thinkin' of you

And just like a siren as Joaquin said, he stood below the stage and looking at me intently.

And I can't get you out of my dreams

Now I know that you're the dangerous kind

And your smile is tattooed on my mind

And I can't get you out of my dreams

He smiled. Those wicked sexy smile of his. Alam niya na ang song ko para sa kanya. I've been singing my songs with meaning now.

Don't wanna write,

I don't wanna call,

I would not know what to say

It should be you

That's how I want it to be

Tell me you feel the same way"

Nakita ko din si JC nakatitig din sa akin. Pinikit ko mata ko kasi I don't want to see those hope and longing in his eyes. Nagpalakpakan ang mga tao after at bumaba na kami. Si Sam hinanap si Leo niya at ako ay tumungo sa labas para makalanghap ng hangin.

"Cess."

Napalingon ako at nakita sina Joaquin at JC.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito? Hindi ka freshman ah." Tanong ni JC.

"I'm under a special course so I can come as I please." Sagot naman ni Joaquin.

"Anong ginagawa ninyo dito?" Tanong ko sa kanilang dalawa.

"Let's eat." Sagot ni Joaquin at kinuha ang kamay ko.

"She goes with me." Sabi naman ni JC at hinila ang kabilang kamay ko.

"Ano ba nasasaktan ako." Sabay nilang binitawan ang kamay ko.

"Mamili ka na, Cess."

"Need she choose? It's quite obvious who."

"Stop! The both of you! Hindi ako mamimili ngayon, bukas or samakalawa." Sigaw ko sa kanila.

"What?"

"Ano?"

"Leave me alone for two months... Both you... When I turn 18, then that's the time I will decide."
