Rosie had been hanging out with her friends after their Uni. They met on a cafe just close to their campus.

Jake, Liz, Andy and Rosie are friends with different degree programs. They're all taking their 4th year in the University. Liz and Andy are studying Pharmaceutical Sciences because they wanted to have their own cosmetics company after they graduate. A joint dream that they like to call 'Project Drag'. Meanwhile, Jake is studying Geosciences while Rosie is an architecture student.

All busy with their studies, the four never failed to make time with each other. It is good if you have an emotional anchor during college, especially when it is getting hard or when you are having doubts succeeding. 

Friends never fail to give you that kind of emotional support.

"Hey guys, what did you get?" Asked Liz, always the late-comer to every friend meeting.

"I ordered vanilla iced latte." Rosie answered. Handing Liz a tissue for her sweat that is dropping down her forehead.

Liz thanked her. Then went to the counter to order.

"Vanilla latte for a vanilla girl. Ew." Jake commented. Earning a slap on his shoulder from Rosie.

"Hey, stop saying the truth. Our sis is fragile." Andy faked concerned earned him a slap, too.

"Can you tone down the insults?" Rosie said as she fixed her hair.

"Girl, that is barely an insult. That's like a pinch from a daddy long legs spider." Jake retorted. Looking quite offended. Fake offended.

"Ooh, I like that spidey name. It's quite hot for a spider." Andy said. The group laughed.

"What's funny?" Liz asked as she sat down next to Jake, done with her order.

"They're ganging up on me, Liz. Defend me!" Rosie faked hurt.

"That's alright, Rosie. What they all said are true." Liz said to rosie. Face drawn of fake concern.

"Bitch." Rosie laughed.

The group is always like that. They like to be passive-aggressive towards each other, none taking it all up to heart.

They grew up like that. From being friends way from middle school to present, they knew how to handle each other.

They understand, respect, love and support one another.

Their order came up when each's name got called and went to get their orders from the counter. All were stopping themselves from cackling after mishearing the barista call Jake's name as 'Jerk'.

"OMG, I just remembered." Andy gasped as he put down his drink after a sip. He was red from stopping his self from laughing to continue his storytelling.

"Why?" The other three chorused.

They waited for a bit before Andy recovered.

"You know my other friend, we were talking..." Andy chortled.

"What?! Tell us already."

"Stop laughing."

"You see we were doing a review when Gregory suddenly asked, 'What about you guys? Is it spit or swallow?' And..." Andy laughed again.
