"Sorry, break na tayo."

I turned my head to the side when I heard a very familiar voice.

"Lavy, please, mag-usap tayo ng masinsinan," my schoolmate begged like there's no tomorrow. I sighed while looking at them.

That Lavender Garcia from Vivere is a heartbreaker— they say. And now that I'm witnessing it, I guarantee that it's true. She almost looked at my side that's why I averted my gaze for awhile.

"Grabe, napaka-matinik ni Lavy!" Paul, my bandmate whispered while peeping to where the scene was happening. I didn't answered and sipped on my caramel macchiato.

"Shit p're, payag ka no'n, kitang-kita mo 'yung pakikipag-hiwalay ng crush mo sa iba."

I quickly threw a glare at Kyle. "What the fuck are you saying?"

"Asus, kunwari 'di namin alam," then he laughed annoyingly. Paul and Anton also started laughing their asses off.

I ignored them and unconciously looked at where that Leotano and Lavender Garcia were. My schoolmate begged for more, almost kneeling in front of her but she's too persistent. She left her 'ex-fling' before walking away.

I took that chance to stare at her back. She was walking flawlessly like she didn't do anything. She crossed to the other side of the road.

I always see her here in LAA with her flings, given the fact that she's the vocalist of the band; Avenue. I shook my head. Using her title to take advantage...

"Likod pa lang, ang ganda na, 'no?" Some demon whispered on my ear. But I was focused on gazing Lavender that I unconsciously nodded my head. It was already late to take it back.

I glared at Kyle who was laughing merrily. Of course, the other two joined. Please remind me to cut ties with them. They're getting annoying.

I just became a member of their so-called band because of Kyle. He was annoying as hell that I was forced to join them. But we never had a chance to perform on stage. He baited me.

"Paano kung sabihin kong palagi mong makikita si Lavy na kumakanta sa malapitan? Payag ka?" The devil raised his brow. My forehead knitted.

Just how the fuck did he know?

When did I saw her? Oh, right... I was observing the campus as a Vice-President's job when I saw her walking in the hallway. Because of my job as an officer, I knew every students studying here in LAA. But her... It was the first time I saw her.

It was such a creep for me to watch her walking silently. Just... Who is she?
