Third person's point of view

In the middle of the quiet library, whispers can be heard from a corner where the aisle of the Philippine history books were located.

"Stop it or I'll kick you." said the one who's holding the book and glared at her friend who's sitting beside her.

"Bad friend." she mumbled and sigh out of absolute boredom.

"Then stop bothering me when I'm reading something, you idiot." she hissed before going back on her book.

"It's lunchtime."

"For goodness sake, Olivia! Go to the cafeteria then!" she tried so hard to make her voice low to not be heard by the other students whose studying on the table nearby.

"Bless naman, alam mong ikaw lang ang aking one and only friend--"

"Shut it, I know wherever you go, you can easily befriend anyone." She rolled her eyes at her over dramatic friend.

"Kailangan mo ring kumain, di ka pa nagla lunch." she said with a small smile.

Bless finally closed her book and sigh in frustration, she knew too well that this human being won't let her be when she's hungry.

"Next time, just go straight to the cafeteria instead of following me here. Let's go." She said and stands up.

"Di mo rin pala ako matitiis." Olivia said with a proud smile.

"I just can't deal with your loud mouth when I'm reading something." Bless mumbled.

The two of them just put the books back to the shelf before they went out of the library and into the cafeteria.

"Hi Livv!" Some students wave their hands to Olivia who responded with a bright smile.

"Magandang araw!" She giggled while slithering her arms around her friend.

"Who was that one person who only have me as her only friend again?" Bless asked. Sarcasm is very visible.

"Ewan ko." She shrugged. "May iba ka pa palang kaibigan aside sa akin?" Olivia asked feigning an innocent face making her friend to roll her eyes.

"Ewan ko sayo."

Olivia just laughed and made her sit on the table. She's always the one who goes to the line to buy foods because she don't want Bless to stand in line for too long.

"Ako na, wait ka lang d'yan." Olivia wink before she made her way towards the line. There's not a lot of students around because it's almost one in the afternoon and classes are about to start again.

Olivia Martins, the University's ball of sunshine. She got that nickname since she was still a freshman, she's a kind of woman who would smile at you even if you're totally a stranger. She's always smiling, giggling or laughing that's why people loves her so much to the point that they call her a walking ball of sunshine. Even the professors and school staffs adored her for that.

Bless Concha is the complete opposite of Olivia. She only smile when necessary. You can always see her holding a book or staring at a distance while listening to music. She always carry her white headphones and book wherever she go. People knew about her partially because of Olivia, but also because she's a top student of the University.

"Hi Blessy, Mr. Hernandez wants to see you after lunch." Someone from the student council came to their table to tell her that.

She nodded and look at him intently, "Okay, I'll go see him later after my meal and oh..." She paused and look around making sure that no one is near them before she continues. "...don't call me Blessy. I'd appreciate if you'd call me by my real name or my surname. Thank you."

The guy was taken aback and wasn't able to say something until someone who was carrying a tray of foods approached them happily.

"Oy, Marvin! What's up?" Olivia laid the tray on the table and even tap the guy's shoulder as a sign of greeting.

"Ah, I'm good. I just came by to tell Miss Concha that Mr. Hernandez wanted to see her. Gotta go, enjoy your meal." he said putting an emphasis on that words and throw another glance at Bless who doesn't seem to mind his existence after telling him to not call her such nickname.

Olivia just wave her hand and settled on the seat across her friend.

"Anong meron?" Olivia ask as she started eating.

"Huh?" Bless raise her head to look at her friend.

"Bakit gusto kang makausap ni Sir?"

"I don't know, I'm yet to find out later."

"Chika mo ko agad ha--"

"Seriously Olivia, just eat your food. You talk too much." Bless cut her off making her laugh.

"Ang sungit." Olivia mumbled.

After their short meal, the two of them went straight to the office of Mr Hernandez. He's the Student Affair Director of the University and when he summon students to his office it's either you messed up or you achieve something good. In Bless's case, she don't really know because she haven't achieve anything yet for the reason that the semester had just started and there's no way she messed up as well. She's a good student so there's no way she has an offense.

Office of the Student Affair, said the words above the wooden door. Bless knocked twice before opening the door, the first thing they saw was the secretary of Mr Hernandez who gave them a smile.

"Good afternoon, miss Lyka. Is Mr Hernandez around?" Bless ask the lady as the two of them, Olivia and her, steps inside the room.

"Nasa loob siya ngayon at may kausap pero sabi niya kanina katok ka lang daw pag nandito ka na." She said while walking towards the door where the main office of Mr Hernandez is.

The secretary knocked once and open the door, she poke her head inside and said, "Good afternoon sir, Miss Concha is already here."

"Let her come in," said the faint voice of Mr Hernandez from the inside.

Bless thanked the lady before she turned to her friend who is now sitting on the couch near the secretary's table.

"You're not coming?"

"Ikaw lang naman pinatawag eh. Hintayin nalang kita dito." She said while trying to find a comfortable position on the couch.

"Okay." Bless said before admitting herself inside the office.
