5:30 am
Estelle, feeling a mixture of excitement and anxiety, rushes outside her house in search of her new thesis group since they have to go to Ryle's house to create the final product.
She had recently joined their group after her previous one fell apart due to lack of cooperation.
As she walks, she frantically sends messages to her friend Jacqueline, seeking directions to Ryle's house.
< Jacqueline, I'm really lost. Can I come with you to Ryle's house? I have no idea where it is. >
Jacqueline's response comes through, dashing Estelle's hopes.
< Sorry, Estelle, I'm on my way to Ryle's house already. You'll have to find your own way.... Huhuhu >
Estelle's panic intensifies as she realizes she's on her own. She continues messaging Jacqueline while trying to navigate through the unfamiliar surroundings.
< Jacqueline, I don't know where to go. I've asked drivers, but they don't know either. Please help me! >
Despite her frantic messages, Estelle receives no immediate response.
Estelle starts riding different vehicles on her way to Ryle's house but they kept stopping because they didn't understand where Estelle is going to be, she's lost.
Determined to make it to the meeting, she decides to prioritize reaching the school first.
Estelle approaches a nearby driver, hoping for some guidance.
"Excuse me, do you know how to get to this place?" She showed him the name.
"I'm sorry, miss. I don't know the exact location. But I can drop you off at the school if that helps."
Estelle, realizing her best option is to regroup with her new thesis group, nods in agreement.
"Thank you. Please take me to Castelmonte school. I'll figure out the rest from there."
As the driver heads towards the university, Estelle and Jacqueline continued messaging each other.
Estelle's fingers rapidly type out messages on her phone, desperately seeking help from her friend Jacqueline. Moments later, Jacqueline mentions Cheska's name in their conversation.
< Oh, by the way, I think Cheska might be able to help you. She's heading to the school as well. Maybe you two can meet up? >
Estelle's eyes widen as she reads Jacqueline's message. She immediately switches to the messaging app and starts typing a message to Cheska.
< Cheska!! I'm so lost and don't know where to go. >
Meanwhile, Cheska, who is just about to leave her hotel room, feels her phone vibrate. She picks it up and sees Estelle's frantic message.
< Where you now?? >
< At school, huhu >
< I'm on my way to the school. I can come pick you up. Stay where you are, and I'll find you.>
Estelle's relief is palpable as she receives Cheska's response.
< YES!!! Thank you, Cheska! I'll wait for you. I WUV YOUUUU >
Cheska quickly grabs her belongings, exiting the hotel room. She hails a taxi and gives the driver instructions to take her to the university.
Cheska arrives at the designated meeting point on campus, scanning her surroundings for Estelle. She spots her friend, looking a bit disheveled but visibly relieved.
Estelle rushes towards Cheska, enveloping her in a grateful hug.
"Cheska, thank you! You saved me. I was so lost and panicking. I don't know what I would have done without you."
