"Mabuti na rin yun, para mas merong exposure pangalan nyo. It's good for the three of you," I assured Kyle.

I was getting ready to go to School nang ibring up ni Kyle yung tungkol sa pagdisband ng banda. And to be honest, I'm not okay with it. I'll have to find another job, that's going to suck so bad. I'm not good at anything else except guitar!

"Yeah, Samantha's excited about it. Hatid pa ba kita sa Uni mo? May meeting daw mamaya eh,"

"No, no. It's fine."

I finished my makeup and then packed my lunch. Hindi pa ko nakakauwi sa apartment ko for 2 weeks now. Sira na siguro yung mga food sa ref. I should go home tonight.

"Mamaya pala, sa apartment ko nalang ako diretso. Maglilinis ako."

"Tulungan kita?" He asked, typing in his phone.

I smiled bitterly. Tinatanong lang niya pero alam naman namin na hindi siya makakatulong.

"Wag na, kaya ko na."

I kissed Kyle goodbye and head straight to my University.

I saw Thea standing outside the 2nd gate. She waved at me when she saw me. Ang dami niyang dalang libro, pano kasi imbes na magreview kami ng weekends, nag inom pa kami.

Nice, priorities, Lia.

Buti nalang nakapag review ako nung Friday at nakagawa ng reviewer. Alam ko kasing hindi ako makakapag review ng weekends kaya sinagad ko na nung friday.

Kahit naman wala na akong scholarship, I still need to pass the exam. I can't be careless.

"Mamaya pa namang 10 magsstart mga exam, review muna tayo." Thea said, scanning the reviewer she made for today's exam.

We went to the shed we always frequent and took out our books and notes.

Ah, fuck. I hope my brain doesn't explode.

"Tanga, ganito kasi," Zach pinched Thea's ears in frustration. Pinapunta siya dito ni Thea two hours ago para tulungan kami sa Software Engineering.

"Putangina naman, ayusin mo kasi pag explain para kang bulol." Thea reiterated.

Good thing naintindihan ko na kanina sinasabi ni Zach, kung hindi nadamay pa ko sa bangayan nila.

Hindi ko nalang sila pinansin kasi 30 minutes nalang meron kami bago magstart exam.

Inisang pasada ko lahat ng mga subjects ngayon saka uminom ng maraming tubig at nakinig nalang kay Zach at Thea.

I don't like feeling pressured before exams. Nakaka mental block kasi.

After their argument in Software Engineering, tinawag na kami ng blocmates namin kasi nandoon na yung prof namin.

All of us were looking calm and laid back. Madadali lang naman kasi magpa exam profs namin.

I don't even think some of them reviewed.

After that draining exam, we ate late lunch. Ala una na kami natapos kasi nagmamakaawa talaga sila na dagdagan yung oras kanina. Nadamay tuloy yung mga nagreview.

"Shuta naman kasi si Blake, todo din distract kay prof. Gutom na gutom na ko eh," Thea complained.

"Okay lang yon, nahirapan ka rin naman." Zach put his arms around Thea and pinched her cheeks.

"Shut up,"

The three of us went back to the shed and ate lunch there. Umorder si Zach ng fastfood kaya marami kaming food.
