RECAP:
The doorbell rang once more and Kelly went to see who it was. It was her friends. Kelly started to clean the house and bathe. She checked if there was nothing that could burn the house down or cause any trouble, afterward, she and her friends went on their way.

From Kelly's apartment up to the highway where public transportation can be found, Kelly, Rosy, and Maya walked and talked. The alleyway is lively, and the apartments, hotels, and apartelles were bright and in different colors. Some of the apartments were yellow, some were bright orange, some were bright green, some were light blue and some were white. The hotels seem busy and the apartments too. Clothes can be seen hanging from the terrace and some are about to be hung. There are very few vehicles parked on the road and bicycles of different kinds passed by the three. Everyone who lives in the alley seemed stress-free and looked as if they were occupied with vacation things. The sky is bright blue, there are very few clouds but the shining ray of the sun is not that hot. The temperature is well-balanced and is about 28 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Maya:
"Wow, seems like everyone is having fun huh-"

Rosy:
"Yup! That's why we should too!"

Maya:
"How come they get to enjoy their long vacation in far places, but we have to stay here and do our assignments??? That's not fair!-"

Kelly:
"Well, that's just how it's gonna be for us students, especially college ones, tons of workloads are given even though we are meant to relax"

Rosy:
"Exactly! Everyone is looking forward to this day to come so that they could get some rest, so why do they have to give us so much work"

Maya:
"This so-called vacation is just school at home. The only difference is that we aren't physically in school but the things do in school are in the same amount. UGH!!!.

Kelly:
"Agree!!! But looking at it, how come everyone looked forward to the vacation but then they gave us deadlines due on the first day back to school"

Maya:
"Yeah, you got a point"

Kelly:
"Anyways, where is everybody? This is the first time I've seen this alley have few people."

The three continue to talk about how stressed they are with the school works for the past semesters and how the vacation given was meant to be their rest, but the tons of activities were going to ruin it. They continuously chattered for an entire 8 to 10 minutes walk until they reached the highway.

Car 1: BEEEP!!!
Car 2 Driver: Hurry up!!!
Car 3: BEEEP!!!

*Car honking in the background*

Kelly:
"Well, I guess that answers my question"

Rosy:
"HAYSSS!!! The traffic won't even move. How are these people gonna get to their destination???-"

Maya:
"I'm not sure, but let's mind our business and figure out how to get to the mall faster"

Kelly:
"We gotta cross the road first, hurry"

The traffic won't move at all in the main route so the girls have to take another lane. The three waited for the pedestrian signals to turn green so that they could cross the road. As soon as the signals turned green, Rosy, Maya, and Kelly hurriedly cross the pedestrian lane, they still need to cross another one so they needed to be fast. The girls then waited for the pedestrian signs to turn green so that they could cross to the other side and wait for a bus there. Once more, the three ran quickly to the other side right in time for the arrival of the busses.

They looked at the destination card of each bus to see which one they should get on to. Maya found the correct bus and called her friends, Maya and Rosy, to come and board the bus immediately.

Maya:
"Guys, hurry! The bus is here!"

Maya, Rosy, and Kelly got on the bus and looked for a vacant seat.
In a few minutes, the bus driver of the bus started the engine.

Driver:
"Is there anyone who's going to **** mall? Hurry up and board! We're about to leave."

A few passengers arrived in time. The driver slowly releases the clutch and stepped on the gas pedal.

In the city, buses have separate lanes so that they could get to their destination as quickly as possible to be able to make it more reliable in terms of public transportation.

*23 minutes later*

The bus arrived at its destination and stopped. All of the passengers exit the vehicle one by one to pay. The girls got off the bus and went inside the mall.

Rosy:
"Alright, where should we go first?"

Rosy and Kelly:
"Same!!!"

Rosy:
"Ok, where do you guys wanna eat?"
"I'm kinda craving some pasta, so..."

Maya:
" I'm craving some chicken-"

Kelly:
"I kinda want some pizza"

Maya:
"Hmmm, which one do you guys want Shakey's or Greenwich?"

Kelly:
"How about Greenwich?"

Rosy:
"Sure, I kinda want some pizza too and on top of that, their lasagna is delicious!"

Maya:
"Alright, Greenwich it is"
*Maya giggling*
