"Hey rai. Usap-usapan ngayon sa campus na you and axel were sighted in a coffee shop. Totoo ba?" Bulong ni Aubrey, when I lift my gaze up the three of them were all waiting.

Well, news here sure do travel fast. Kahapon palamang iyon nangyari but on the next day, news came knocking on everyone's door.

I cleared my throat. "Yeah. Why?"

"Omy god." Si cherry.

"What's... the big deal in that?" Nagtataka ko silang tinignan.

"It's no big deal, but rumors tend to exaggerate depending on people. And that will be a big deal." Cavin exclaimed.

"We just had coffee." And it's with good intentions... At least i think.

"Ooh." Aubrey's reaction.

"Well, I suggest you better watch out. You may not notice it dahil parati kang nakayuko sa libro mo but a lot of girls are crazy, I mean, crazy crazy over Ferrel." Cherry also nodded with what Aubrey said.

"Especially when they think the girls he's seeing is someone who is better than them." Cherry pointed her hands to emphasize me from head to toe.

Tumawa na lang ako at umiling sa mga pinagsasabi nila. Then, I excused myself after para pumunta ng bathroom. I quickly got into the most nearest cr and got in. After checking the other cubicles, I went in one.

When I got out of the cubicle, I heard a loud slam on the door of the restroom as if something was slammed on it. Bigla akong kinabahan at nanlaki ang mga mata. I gulped. Mas lalo akong nagulat ng may biglang pumasok na isang babae at isang lalaki, naghahalikan.

Napatingin ako sa gawi nila. Iyong butones ng blouse ng babae ay naka unbuttoned at kita na ang kaniyang red laced bra with her lipstick smudged. The guy's hair was disheveled and his abdomen is showing because of the girl's hand inside.

They both stopped when they saw me. Unfortunately, I was the only one inside the room kaya ako lang ang nakakita ng ginagawa nila. The guy was quite familiar though.

"Oh, someone's inside. We'll have to continue this some other time." Sabi nung lalaki before planting a hickey on the girl's neck.

I averted my eyes. Why did I have to see that? Oh please. Don't you have shame doing this in the women's bathroom? I pretended that I didn't see a thing. I turned to face the mirror sink to wash my hands like nothing happened.

From the mirror I could see the girl giggle, kissing the guy once more before going inside one of the cubicle. Then, the guy left.

Aren't they embarrassed at all? I mean, what if someone else saw them here and not just me? Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at lumabas na. As soon as I got out of the door, I was startled to see the guy was standing next the door.

"Hi. You're that girl axel's been with at the cafe, right?" Lalagpasan ko na sana siya ng magsalita siya.

I raised a brow. Even in this moment some people are just so into gossips. Isa pang chismoso.

"Oh come on, can't you greet me nicely? I'm happy to see you here, can't you tell my joy?"

"I'm neither happy and nor have I got the mood to greet you as you expect me to, grey."
