Kaagad naman akong pinauwi ni Clive pagkatapos kong tawagan ang driver na hindi na niya ako kailangang sunduin. Days and a month passed by as the first exam is getting nearer, me and Clive are actually very understanding at eachother's schedule.

Palagi kaming nagkikita every lunch and go to the library every morning before class and after class. Let me say that it was easier with him as we both study together. Right now, I'm with Rea as the two of us are studying for a quiz later on in physics. Fate is not here with us because her course is different.

I am currently wearing a round glass on my face for reading as I focus on my notes. Rea is currently finding some books about aeronautics for the both of us to study. Hindi ko kasama si Clive ngayon dahil hindi naman kami magkaparehong pinili na course.

I'm slightly bothered because I didn't get used to reviewing on my own. Clive would always do a test for me on a whole piece of pad paper and made me answer it after I memorized it. Ngayon, wala akong katulong. Nahihiya naman akong humingi ng tulong kay Rea kasi may mga inaabala rin ito.

I was so engrossed on my notes and the book that I recently got from this library to notice that Rea is already beside me. I only noticed her when she suddenly nudges me on my side.

Kaagad naman akong bumaling sa kaniya. "Bakit?"

She immediately puckered her lips and point it on our front. I immediately understood her action and turn my head on my front. And what I saw stunned me and make my heart feel so heavy as it started to beat loudly.

Bakit nandito siya?

I calmed myself and focus on him as he obviously didn't notice me either because of his studies. Ang nagpabigat ng luob ko ay hindi siya nag-iisa. May kasama siyang babae and as I intently stare at the girl he's with. Doon lang ako nakampante dahil si Penelope lang pala ito.

"Bakit magkasama 'yang dalawang 'yan?" Tanong ni Rea na may bahid na iritasyon sa boses niya. I shrug and chuckle.

"Ewan ko, baka magkapareho sila ng course ni Penelope." She looks at me with disbelief.

"Hindi ka man lang magpapakita na nandito ka?" She asks. I shake my head and smiled.

"He needs to study, he'll be around if he wants to." She shakes her head at me.

I went back on my book and my notes and started reviewing again. However, Rea didn't move an inch and still stayed on her stance like a statue as she stared at the two person just a few table away from us.

Kinunotan ko siya ng nuo at tumingin narin sa harapan namin. They're both reading a thick book while scribbling things and solves somethings on their calculator. I shake my head as I didn't find it suspicious. Nag-aaral lang naman.

I sigh. "amRea, wala namang ginagawang milagro ang dalawa para bantayan mo. Mag-aral kana diyan."

She finally looks at me and grimaced. "Hindi eh, kailangan ko silang bantayan."

Nagsimula na itong pawisan kahit may aircon na dito sa luon ng library. I raise my brows at her.

"At bakit naman?" I ask. "Parang ikaw ang girlfriend ah." I jokingly added.

She shakes her head and hesitantly looks at me with a look. Nagsimula nang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko sa kaba dahil sa mga pinang-gagagawa nito.

"Kung hindi, bakit ka parin nakabantay sa kanila?" I inquired.
