Hi, love. Let's eat outside? KJ asked. Uhm.. Sure. But not this lunch. Cause I still have to review for my Civil Law subject. I said. Oh sure, good luck my future attorney. He winked and went to his department.

Good day, Future Attorneys. A tall, handsome, man said in the class. He dressed like a professor. He greeted to the class. A pleasure morning to you as well, uhm Professor? We replied with uncertain. I am going to be your substitute professor for the week. So please, bare with me. Ms. Celestine won't be able to be with you for she have some private matters to do. Now, we'll skip the introduce yourself part, I have your class names anyways. He added. But, I'll introduce myself. I am Ashton Felix Morijo. Half Japanese, half Filipino. 25 years old. I think I am just 4-5 years older than you guys. I just passed my BAR exam and yeah lets proceed. "Huy gwapo ni Sir Ash." my seatmate told me and made a finger heart. I gave her the yuck what the hell girl face. I mean sir Ashton is still young i mean hello? Still in 20s. Pogi pa! But I don't find him as a crush thing. Miss Beinova? Are you listening to my discussion or do you want to leave? He asked as he went near to me. Pardon sir, but I'm listening to your discussion. I said as I looked at him straight to his eyes. Ok then, what is the 4 most common types of Civil law deal with? He asked. I was gonna answer when he stop me. Wait, im not done yet. In the USA. He said. Wait what? I asked. We're in the Philippines so why do we need to know about the other contries? I asked. Cause if you are an attorney, you should not only know about here in our country. You should expand your knowledge about others too. It's very useful. He said. Now, answer my question. He looked at me. I sighed. Property, contracts, family relations, and civil wrongs. I said. He smirked and said... Very well then, Ms. Beinova. You may take your seat. Then the class ended. Hey, you! The girl in a bun. The prof said. Come to my office. He added. I just nodded and followed him. So, I saw your potential to be an amazing lawyer. I'm giving you a chance to think about going into a scholarship after college. It's a top law school in the USA. He said. Uhm wait, why me though? I asked. The way you spoke confidently in class is what every lawyer should have. He added. May I think about it first. I said. Gladly. He said. You have until the end of 4th sem. I told Ms. Celestine about this. He replied. Thank you, prof. I said. No problem, and don't all me prof. Just call me Kuya Ashton or Just by my name. I'm not that old or what. He said and that made me laugh.

Hey KJ did I make you wait? I asked. No. He said coldly. Let's go eat, im hungry! I said. He nodded and we walked and went to the Garden of Love Cafe. It's a cafe with a garden theme but in a modern style. My order is Cream Oil Pasta and Blue lemonade please. I said to the waiter. Noted. She said. How about you sir? She asked. Cream oil pasta and hot americano. He said. Noted sir. Your order will be here in short time. The waiter left. So, hows your day? I asked. Good. He replied. How about you? How's your day with that tall glasses guy. He said with a hint of jealousy. Huh? Glasses guy? Oh you mean Kuya Ashton. I said. He's actually our sub-prof for the time being since Ms. Celestine is away. I explained. Since he's your prof why do you need to be with him after his class? He asked again. Oh actually, he offered me a scholaeship law school in the US. I said. That's nice! His face change. So don't get jelly ok? I said and hugged him. Okay! He said with a soft tone and kissed me. Ehem!
