Wow, what a coincidence!

I remembered what he said lately, should I just really go against them? I am so scared to live on my own... A month will do, right? And I think it will easily slip off their mind.

"Is she the painter?" the girl asked. What painter? Did he recommend me again to someone? I got excited when Lucas nodded, the timing was so right! I will be needing more money to support myself, although I haven't really made up my mind...

"I'm open for commissions," I energetically said. The sadness and disappointment I felt earlier is now gone because I'll have the chance to paint again!

"Thank you! Ayaw kasi ng isa rito eh, parang baliw," she murmured the last word so we wouldn't hear it I guess, but I heard it anyway.

"Anyway, when are we going to discuss it? Why don't we talk about it later sa cafe near here?" the girl took out something from her bag and wrote on it using a pen, ang gave the sticky note to me. "Here, text me later if you are free, 'di ko lang sure tomo, anyway! Bye!"

"Sobrang busy naman ng ate mo, pre, does she have a boyfriend? P'wede ligawan?" Lucas said. I took out my phone so I can type her number and message her later if ever.

"Why are you asking me that, ask her,"

"Meh, baka hindi na rin naman na kami mag meet tomo, imam just find someone," I felt Lucas shrug his shoulder, I saved the number on my phone at ibinalik ito uli sa bag ko.

"Hey, Lucas, thank you again!" I looked at him and he just gave me a smile and nodded.

"That's nothing, anyway, you should go na, baka ma-late ka pa, see you later!" I nodded at umalis na rin so I could go to my first subject this day.

Our professor dismissed us, its 3 p.m kaya nagpa-sundo na rin agad ako sa driver namin, but he has something to do, he needs to drop my parents off somewhere I don't know. I want to go home now but, I don't know how...

"Where are you?" I asked Lucas when he picked up the call. Veron's class will end later at 4 p.m pa...

"Here sa car park, why?" I looked around to find Lucas, he's tall so I will easily find him since nasa car park na rin naman na ako.

"Favor? Can you drop me off sa house?" I said, malapit lang din naman bahay nila sa bahay namin, but 'yon ay kung uuwi siya. He usually stays at his condo...

"I have to turn down your request, I have errands to run eh, but if you wanna go with me then maybe I can drop you off after." I nodded although he won't see it. I asked for his location, and luckily, hindi siya ganoong kalayo naka park kung nasaan ako.

"Why? Iniwan ka ng sundo mo?" I shake my head. "Driver nila mommy for today lang, since wala yung driver nila," I placed my phone in my bag at isinuot ang seatbelt.
