"Here is your bag, and picked out an outfit for you." Maya gave me my bag and the outfit.

"Thanks, sorry kung na isturbo kita." I grabbed the outfit.

"No worries, Did something happen between you and your parents?" Tanong sakin ni Maya

"Misunderstanding as always." I shrugged.

"where did you spend the night then?"

"Kace's house." I simply said

"What?! Did you-" Pinigilan ko siya mula sa pagtatapos.

"No! Maya ano ba?! Ang dumi ng isip mo!" I slapped her shoulder.

"Why didn't you do it?" Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay

"What the fuck? Why would you want me to do it?" lumaki mata ko sa sinabi nya.

"Come on, bagay naman kayo eh. Try learning from Amber." She suggested

"Never, Maya what the heck is wrong with you!" I went to her bathroom to get ready.

Narinig ko ang tawa niya hangang sa banyo, which made me roll my eyes and chuckle.

Pesteng yawa na babaeng yon!

We left her house at 7 AM, We drove in our own cars to school.

Luckily, We were on time when we arrived to our classes.

Matapos ang aming dalawang klase, it was finally recess.

"Aren't you gonna stop reading and eat your food?" Sabi sakin ni Maya itinuro ang kwek kwek sa harap ko.

"Happy?" I ate a piece of kwek kwek my gaze not leaving my book.

In a split second my book was gone, I looked at who took it.

"Eat."Sabi ni Kace at umupo sa tabi ko.

Umupo din sila Colin sa table namin.

"Give me back my book, I have to study about the topic," I demanded.

"Eat first."

"Ayoko ng-" I was interrupted when Kace put a piece of kwek kwek in my mouth.

"Eat." He said and ate his food.

"Yie, oh my gosh ang cute niyo talaga, Diba?" Marcus nudged maya.

"I agree." Maya giggled, I put up my middle at her.

When I finished eating, Kace gave me back my book while I glared at him.

"Valentine's day is near, but so is the deadline for your defense, by Friday everyone should be ready for their defense, Got it?" Our professor reminded us.

I forgot Valentines is the same day as our defense, oh well.

"Yes, Professor Smith." Sagot namin.

"You may take your lunch break, Class dismissed"

Lumabas ako sa classroom Kasama si Maya.

"Pupunta daw si Levi ngayon," Maya informed me.

"Walang practice?" Tanong ko.

"I don't know, Tara kuha tayo ng table." Sabi nya sakin

Habang naghihintay, nagbabasa nalang ako ng topics namin sa future classes.

"Hoy hinintay nyo ba ako?" Levi said as he sat beside me.

"Not me, si Camilla lang, hindi pa kasi kumakain." Maya ate her food.
