My eyes keep following Haley. After the campfire, she became uncomfortable with the surroundings. She even throws her things and shouted to Albin. The classroom was a mess, a lot of papers are crumpled on the floor, and the chairs are not properly aligned.

I never saw Haley acting strangely before. She started to be suspicious and became a mess when she smells and saw gas at the campfire.

We are here on the rooftop. I follow Haley until I reached this place. Haley can't focus and her attention was only at the lower part of the building. My eyes grew bigger when she stepped her foot closer to the edge of the rooftop. I immediately grab her wrist and pulled her away.

Her expression became mad, disappointed in what have I do.

"Pabida ka na naman!" She shouted, still wearing his mad expression.

"You will—"

She cut me off and rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, Amber! I will not kill myself as Sic did. I want to sit and feel the air. That's it!"

She became defensive, a piece of strong evidence that she's hiding her pain.

Ganoon ba talaga ang mga tao, magaling magpanggap? How long will they wear their fake expressions and will pretend that they are strong, in fact, they were not.

"Are you afraid that you will be judge by them?" I asked. She looks at me, waiting for my next words that I will utter. "Those grades that you have," I added.

Kumunot ang noo niya. "What about my grades?" She flashed a smirked. "Why? Are you jealous of my grades? Those unos that I have?"

I stepped forward and took a little bit closer to her. I will not be jealous of someone that is doing a dirty job.

"Pardon? I can also have those high grades of yours. In fact, I can make it a straight uno. I don't need to be jealous." I flashed a victorious smirk.

Bigla siyang napa-atras dahil sa mga sinabi ko. We know that she can't attain those grades with the help of her mother's money.

"I will not get jealous of your grades because it was a tampered one," I corrected before I crossed my arms.

Her lips parted, didn't expect those sudden lines that will punch her face.

"Tampered? Excuse me. My grades are not tampered. I can put you in jail because of your false allegation." She was triggered right now.

This was exciting.

Little she did know, I'm the one who can put her into jail.

"Huwag na tayong maglokohan dito, Haley. Your professor leaves the University and gives all of the evidence that she tampered with your grade." She blinked twice at what I confessed. "Do you want evidence? I can post it online or I can say it to the reporters—"
