The next day, maagang gumising si Alyssa. She prepared and nagpunta sa ASMPH. She'll wait for Den there para makapag-usap sila. May dala pa siyang coffee and breakfast for Den. She was listening to music when she saw Den na papasok kaya bumaba siya sa kotse niya at sinalubong si Den.
"Hey, Den!" She said and smiled. "Good morning!"
"Ly, nagmamadali ako." Den said and nilagpasan si Alyssa.
"Ah, yeah I know. Kunin mo lang 'to tas aalis na rin ako. Sige na, Den." Ly said habang sinusundan si Den sa paglalakad. "Den, please?"
Den stopped walking and faced her, "Alyssa, pwede ba? Tigilan mo na ako. I don't want anything to do with you, okay? Please." She said and walked away from Alyssa. Si Alyssa, naiwan lang na nakatayo dun.
"Ly!" Tawag ni Phil sa kanya. "Okay ka lang?" He asked. Di nila alam yung nangyari kasi di naman nagkukuwento si Den pero alam nila na hindi okay yung dalawa.
"Phil.." Ly said. "Its mid-week. Sayo na lang 'to oh." She said and smiled.
"What happened?" Phil asked.
"Madami." Ly answered and handed the food to Phil. "Sige, mauna na ko. Thanks." She said and left even before Phil could say or ask anything.
Sa may labas ng classroom nila, Phil saw Den looking at them pero pumasok din when she saw na nakatingin si Phil sa kanya.
"Hoy, girl! Anong drama niyo? Bakit ganun si Alyssa? At bakit hindi mo tinanggap 'to?" Phil asked pagkapasok niya sa room nila.
"Wala. Ayoko lang." Den answered.
"Aba, taray-tarayan lang? What happened?" He asked again.
"Phil, wala na kami. We broke up three days ago." Den said and sighed.
"What?!" Phil exclaimed, their classmates looked at them so he just made a peace sign. "Anong nangyari?"
Den shrugged her shoulders, "Wala eh. Magulo na. Hindi na tama." She said.
"Paanong magulo? Hindi tama?" He asked. "Explain."
"No, Phil. I don't wanna talk about it." Den said.
"Okay, sorry." Phil said.
"Thanks." Sabi naman ni Den.
"So, that means, sakin na talaga 'tong food? Or you might wanna try to eat foods from your ex?" Phil joked.
"Phil, c'mon!" Den said.
"Okay. Sorry sorry." Phil said.
"Thanks." Den said.
The day went on for the med students. When lunch time came, they decided na sa canteen na lang kumain para hindi na masyadong hassle. When they arrived there, may isang table na may mga nakapaligid na students. First year, to be specific. You'd know from the color if their ID lace. Hindi naman sila ganun kadami, peros still, they're surrounding a table.
"What's the fuss all about, first years?" Iiling-iling na sabi ni Ace as they line up to buy food. "Anong meron dun, ate?" He asked dun sa nagtitinda.
"Ay si Alyssa Valdez, andiyan. Nagpapapicture yang mga first year. Kanina nga, nagpicture din kami sa kanya eh." Sagot ni ateng tindera.
"Ah, kaya po pala." Ace said as he slowly nods his head.
"Yari kayong lahat dito." Ethan said and chuckled.
"E, stop!" Saway ni Phil sa kanya.
After nilang bumili, nagtataka si Ethan at Ace kasi hindi dumiretso si Den sa table kung asan si Alyssa. Wala na ding mga students dun. Isa na lang ang naiwan at kinakausap si Alyssa.
