Mars' POV
7:36 am.
Nagulat nalang ako. What the heck am I doing in a campus parking lot? Tsk. It could be Marsela for business purposes pero I don't think this is a perfect venue for a business meeting, besides she's not into crowded places so it must be Mago.
Haaays, who is it this time?. I just hope it's not some random wild type girl na nakilala nya lang sa club.
Kriiiiing kriiiiing
I was right, it is Mago. Dala ko kasi ang phone nya na may design na sunnysideup egg sa phone case. Egg kasi her name is Mago, short for Tamago which literally means egg in Japanese.
Kriiiiing kriiiiing
Hot girl #16 calling ...
Ew gross! Kahit kailan talaga tong si Mago. Kainis. Pinatay ko agad ang phone niya bago pa ko may masabing di nya magugustuhan.
I looked at my reflection on the glass window of a building across the street,
Did she seriously went out wearing this sht?. Unlike me and Marsela, walang masyadong paki si Mago sa suot nya. Basta kung anong sa tingin nyang komportable yun na yun. Nagsusuot lang siguro sya ng kaaya aya pag pumupunta siya ng parties but on a daily basis, wala syang paki.
Ang pagkakaalala ko may malapit lang na store dito. Maybe I could buy something fashionable to wear. Haaays Mago talaga. So di nako nagpaligoy-ligoy pa, pumunta agad ako sa store para mamili ng damit.

Abby's POV
Sa kwarto. Gising na at kakatapos lang maligo ni Rans. Nakikita ko parin si Sela at the corner of the room pero I tried my best to just ignore her.
"So, where's this new roommate?." Sabi ni Rans habang tinutuyo ang buhok nito.
"May kinailangan lang asikasuhin about school and stuff." Sabi ko. Busy ngayon ako sa laptop ko, editing and familiarizing our paper. Malapit na kasi defense namin.
"May nakita ka na bang susuutin natin for the research defense for next next week?." Tanong ni Rans.
"Wala pa nga eh. Pero saka na muna siguro yun, unahin muna natin tong paper natin."
"Sa bagay, malamang tayo na naman yung tatadtarin ng questions ng pannelist. Lalong lalo na yung si Miss Lokaret." Sabi ni Rans.
"Lucia." Correct ko.
"Sus, pareho lang yun."
"Well, we no longer need to worry about her since she's transferring to another school next week." Sabi ko.
"Salamat naman at may mangyayari naring maganda sa school nato. Dahil dyan magpapaparty ako."
"Hay naku Rans, puro ka kalokohan. Tulungan mo na nga lang ako dito." Sabi ko. At tinulungan na nga nya ako. Kinabisado nya narin yung topic at details ng paper namin.

Mars' POV
I wonder lang kung anong nangyari sa date ko with Clarke that night. Bakit pa kasi di mo ko hinayaang manatiling si Mars ng buong gabi nun universe? This is so unfair.
Nakapili narin ako ng masusuot ko and I guess medyo nahirapan akong pumili kaya binili ko nalang lahat ng initial choices ko at pinili ang the best para suotin ko today.
Nagpalit agad ako sa store ng napili kong pink dress and heels bilang outfit ko for the day and I can see na pagkalabas ko palang ng store, all those guys' eyes are on me. Sorry nalang sa mga girlfriends and asawa nila, pinanganak akong maganda kaso pagtawid ko ng pedestrian muntik lang akong masagasaan.
"Hoy! Ano ba?! Don't you see I'm crossing here?!."
"Sorry talaga Miss, I didn't mean to--Marsela." Baba nito sa sasakyan.
Okay, let's just say he's hot, formal and all pero dzai muntik nya nakong mapatay tapos he thought I'm Marsela. Of course Mars, what do you expect? You're basically sharing the same body tsk.
"U-uhm, nice dress." Yan nalang nasabi nya sakin nang makalapit na siya. Hmm mas cute pala siya pag malapitan. Okay Mars, chill lang.
"Anyways, I'm really in a hurry right now. You're coming right?." Gosh, he smells so good. Eherm. Mars, focus!.
"W-where?."
"Sa meeting."
"What meeting?."
"You're funny. Tara na, sumabay ka na sakin." I have no idea what he's talking about pero sumama nalang rin ako kasi baka sobrang importante nito at malintikan pako kay Marsela.

Laura's POV
Naghahanap parin kami ng venue for the wedding reception, gusto ko kasi sana malapit sa beach.
"Kapag gumaling na si Sela, which of her alters do you think would remain?." Sabi ni Miguel.
"I don't know, how about you babe?." Sabi ko.
"Well, I hope it's Sela."
"Sela?. I don't think she's an alter."
"That's the point. I wanted her to be Sela. The sister I've known 'til high school. Nung normal pa siya. Not Mars, not Mago, not Marsela, just Sela. My nerdy high school sister."
"Pero pano kung di na sya bumalik sa pagiging Sela?."
"Edi wala na tayong choice but to accept whoever remains. Teka lang, ba't ba parang sobrang apektado ka sa condition ng kapatid ko?."
"Curious lang ako. Besides, don't you find it exciting to know what's gonna happen in the future?."
"Ikaw pa nga ang nagsabi diba?. Sela's condition is a serious thing." Sabi ni Miguel.
"Uhm excuse me Ma'am Sir, andyan na po yung manager pati yung sa catering service. This way nalang po." Sabi nung isang lalaking staff nila rito sabay lead samin papunta sa parang office dito sa resort.

Mars' POV
Andito na kami sa office building nila. Bakit patang lahat ng nadadaanan ko lumilihis ng tingin? Para bang takot silang lahat sakin. Well, hindi nako magtataka. Marsela looks like she's always mad all the time, in fact she's mad all the time.
Finally andito na kami sa parang meeting room or something and everybody here looks so formal and serious.
"Finally, you're both here." Sabi nung isang medyo matanda nang lalaki sabay shakeshands samin.
"What are you wearing?." Biglang bulong ng lalaking yun sakin na parang pinipigilan lang yung galit nya. Saka grabe naman yung pabango nya, mas matapang kay DU30.
"Anyways, since you're here kindly prepare your presentation para makapagsimula na tayo." Sabi pa nito.
What presentation?. I mean sasayaw ba ko, kakanta, aarte, magmomodel?. Ano?.
