Author's note: This is the last chapter of Dyx and Gab's story. The 4 main characters, Alex, Bella, Gab, and Kane will have individual chapters. This chapter is more "English-based" because the couple's place of meet up is CANADA.  The last chapter is Chapter 16. Thank you!

Dyx's POV

The drops of the rain looked like tiny crystals. The warm scent of coffee when you enter the café. Midnight is near, it was 9 PM when he arrived in the school café with another classmate. To study for their quarterly exams.

'Hey, it's already night time. What if your house nalang tayo?

'New student. Wait, do you like her!?---' he covered his mouth with his palm.

'Shut up, you're embarrassing. Baka marinig ka niya.'

'Wait, so.. totoo?'

'No, definitely not...'

'I agree, nakakatakot siyang tingnan. Totally hindi ko type. I mean, tingnan mo naman mukha niya oh, mukha siyang-----'
