Thursday...
Cheska woke up early the next morning, determined to start the day on a positive note.
She made her way to the kitchen.
As the food cooked, Cheska's mind wandered to her plans for the afternoon.
She reached for her phone and opened the group chat for her oral communication class, hoping to organize a meet-up to discuss their upcoming project.
Typing quickly, she sent a message to Carlos and Phoebe, pleading for them to join her at school in the afternoon.
"Hey, guys! Can we meet at school later? I need to go over the filming for our presentation," Cheska typed, her fingers tapping the screen with a hint of urgency.
A few moments passed before a reply came through. Carlos responded first, his message filled with regret. "I'm sorry, Cheska. I can't make it this afternoon. I have to be at Miguel's condo, what about this morning?"
"I can't... I have to go to Mae's house to film our product advertisment"
Cheska's heart sank as she read Carlos' response. She had hoped that he would be available, knowing that his insights would greatly contribute to their project.
Feeling a wave of stress wash over her, Cheska turned her attention to Phoebe's response. "I wish I could, Cheska, but my parents won't allow me to go out this afternoon. They're being extra strict lately," Phoebe's message read, accompanied by a disappointed emoji.
Cheska's shoulders slumped, and she let out a sigh. It seemed like the universe was conspiring against her plans, adding to her mounting stress.
She had hoped for a productive meeting with her classmates, but now it seemed out of reach.
Cheska had meticulously planned the meeting for weeks, hoping to gather her oral communication group and make progress on their project. Yet, despite her efforts, it still hadn't happened.
As she stared at her phone, her fingers tapping restlessly on the desk, Cheska couldn't help but feel defeated.
Then, she had an idea.
< Guys, what if we'll film in his condo? I know Lyka will be there because the whole friendgroup of yours is there, and we can film our math presentation there >
< Carlos: YES! GGGG!!! I'M GOOD WITH IT! >
< Cheska: YES! FINALLY, I'M IN >
< Cheska: But where is that by the way? >
< Carlos: HAHAHAHHAHA you're so excited but you don't know where that is >
Cheska then reads the address.
< Carlos: Okay, I'm calling Lyka to tell her about it. >
< Carlos: Okayokay, she said that it's better if you'll film in Miguel's condominium with us! >
< Cheska: YES, THANKS! I'M IN, SEE YOU LATER!!!! >
She was thrilled that he shared her excitement and saw the potential of utilizing Miguel's condominium for their project.
Cheska set out to prepare everything for the filming session. She gathered her equipment, ensuring that she had everything they would need.
She packed her bag with notepads, pens, and any other materials that might come in handy during their activities.
As she double-checked her preparations, Cheska's mind brimmed with ideas.
