10 minutes earlier:
Jordyn was sitting on a bench in the middle of the campus grounds drawing something on her sketchpad, she felt like it's missing something and isn't satisfied with it so she tore it up and tried to look at it in a different angle until she got a tap on the shoulder.
Stevie: "Sorry medyo natagalan, sabi ko nga ba nahulog sa driver's seat ang lipstick ko eh. (showing the item) I also had to repark the car sa far left ng parking lot dahil ang sikat ng araw at nakalimutan ko ang sun visors sa bahay.
Jordyn nodded, understanding her best friend's explanation just as her phone received a text message.
From: Cous Aubrey
"Couz! as soon as u're done, meet me at the auditorium on the other end of the hallway by the registrar's office. See you Jojo. <3"
Jordyn smiled & she showed the message to Stevie.
Stevie: "Tara, puntahan natin si Aubrey. Ok na tayo sa enrollment diba?"
Jordyn nodded then stood up and quickly closed her sketchpad as she was excited to see her cousin again that she didn't notice that something slipped off and fell under the bench she was sitting on.
Both girls then proceeded to head towards the registrar's office and follow the directions Jordyn's cousin gave them.
At the auditorium:
Aubrey was chatting with her best friend Maia while sitting by the edge of the stage when suddenly the doors opened and they saw two figures entering with Aubrey recognizing her cousin immediately.
Aubrey: "Couzzzz!!!"
Aubrey hop down the stage which scared Maia a bit because she knew her best friend was a bit clumsy at times so she followed suite.
Maia: "Hui Brey! Dahan-dahan lang!"
Aubrey just ran straight to her cousin's direction and screamed with excitement a little bit more before engulfing her with a big hug once they were in reach.
Aubrey: "I missed you Couz! Wow! Ang pretty pretty mo lalo ngayon Jojo!" she greeted her cousin after taking a good look at her once they released each other from the hug.
Aubrey (Signing while talking): "How are you?"
Jordyn (Signing while mouthing the words) : "I am good. I miss you too Couz. You somehow always get prettier everytime I see you."
Aubrey: "Haist Couz, you haven't changed. Always making bola!" she laughed and nudged her cousin lightly on the shoulder. "Stevie! It's so nice to see you again." she smiled at the fair-skinned girl just behind her cousin and hugged her as well.
Stevie: "Hi Ate Aubrey, it's so nice to see you as well. Ganda ganda mo naman as always." she hugged back.
Aubrey: "Oy hindi ah. Kayo nga ang gumanda lalo eh. Pwede ka na talaga sumali sa beauty contests din Stevie. Kasing tangkad mo na ako ngayon."
Stevie: "Naku Ate Brey! Turf mo ito. Hindi ko ipapangarap na makipagtunggali sa iyo."
Aubrey: "Grabeeee naman. Hindi ko to turf noh?! Beauty pageantry is lots of fun. Feel ko mageenjoy ka Stevie." she said sincerly.
Stevie was about to answer when a bubbly girl suddenly appeared behind Aubrey.
Maia: "Hiiii.. You must be Aubrey's cousin Jordyn, I'm Gil. Aubrey's girlfriend." and extended her left hand for Jordyn to take.
Aubrey then slapped her best friend's hand away and both started laughing.
Aubrey: "Boang ka oi. Nakita na ni Couz si Gil sa pics ko sa FB. At kilala ka narin niya bilang baliw ko na best friend na si Maia."
