Colet's POV:

My feet brought me to the edge of the pool. I savored the cool breeze that calmed my overheated head. Since no one was swimming, I decided to change quickly and take a dip.

This was the only way to dissipate my annoyance and forget what happened earlier. I was trying to help, yet she wasn't cooperating.

As I swam, Jho's friends, who were apparently her seniors in the dance club competition, suddenly arrived.

While earlier I was swimming quietly, now it was suddenly very noisy. Well, Ate Sheki was the really loud one, Ate Brei was a bit noisy, and Ate Abby was the quiet one.

Sheki: “Nicolette. Bakit ikaw lang mag-isa dyan? Where si Babu mo?”

Brei: “Baka warla pa rin sila.”

Abby: “Please be extra patient with Jho, Nicolette. Ganoon na talaga ugali no'n since birth eh HAHAHHA”

Brei: “Just let her realized what she did. Hindi mo mapapansin, lalapit nalang 'yon sa'yo para kausapin ka.” Impossible. Lalo na't inis na inis 'yon sa akin.

Sheki: “But on a serious note, Nicolette. Jhoanna is kind. May puso pa rin naman yung babaeng 'yon.”

“Sumusobra na rin po kasi siya.....Ayshhh, change topic nalang ho!” Sambit ko at tumawa nalang sila bigla. Ayyy ganon? So ako taya ngayon?

“Bakit po?” I curiously asked why they're giggling.

Abby: “You really like her that much noh?!”

“Well.....hindi naman po kami aabot sa ganitong relasyon kung hindi ko siya nagustuhan.”

Brei: “Kahit gano'n siya kasungit? Kahit maraming takot sa kanya? HAHAHAA”

“Ang hirap pong ipaliwanag eh hehe.” I said dahil wala na akong maisip na pwede kong ipakusot sa kanila.

Sheki: “You can't read her mood easily. Kahit magpahula ka pa sa manghuhula kung ano ang nasa isip no'n, hindi mo pa rin malalaman HAHHAHA”

“She  is really hard to read po. Her mood's transition is fast. Sometimes, she seems so nice, then all of a sudden, she's mad again without any reason.”

Brei: “So, what's your way on making her soft or kind? Kung meron HAHAHAHA”

“Hmmm, well. Every 4 in the afternoon, I always buy her mojos and milktea.”

Abby: “OMG! She really loves drinking milktea, and mojos is her all time favorite dahil malapit daw sa name niya HAHAHHA” She shared that made me surprised. So that's also one of the reasons kung bakit niya favorite ang mojos? Weird........pero cute.

Suddenly, it crossed my mind that every time I bought her favorite snack, she would eat it in her personal room, then later come out to place some on my table. Having a flashback of that scene made me smile.

Abby: “What's with the creepy smile, Nicolette?”

“It's nothing, ate Abby. An unexpected memory came across my mind.”

Sheki: “Ayyy pustahan tayo, tungkol sa mwua mwua niyo sa cottage 'yan noh? HAHAHHA”

Nagtawanan naman silang tatlo dahil sa sinabi ni ate Sheki. Bigla akong naestatwa at naramdaman kong biglang nag-init ang aking pisngi.
