They've now arrived in Class without talking since then. Briar didn't also pester him at the moment thinking that he might be shy that's why he got a sudden mood swing.
Briar sat besides James. Celene greeted Xecon with a smile as he sat on his seat without even batting an eye towards Briar.
The professor gave them 30sec. to study their discussion yesterday for they'll be having a summative test. As she got herself busy memorizing her unfinished notes with James, She noticed that those two infront just seemed to be enjoying themselves.
In her pov, Celene is leaning against Xecon's Table completely giving her a full view of latter's back. They seemed to be chitchatting, but due to their distance she couldn't hear anything.
"You both seemed to be close no?" James started.
"Nehh, nothing of that sort" She denied as she was actually giving the opposite expression.
"Celene holds the Presidents title even before you transfered here. Just like you she's also strict when it comes to rules. But ever since you transfered last sem, you then become the Pres. Even tho you've received 2 silver warnings on your first day for speaking 'Alien language' you still managed to grab the position without any hassle. For her, you stole her precious treasure that she've worked tirelessly for. We really can't blame her if she's acting this way" James mindfully murmured.
She couldn't seem to react from this since she herself also don't know how she've suddenly become the Pres. Their Academic position were based on their Average on the latter years. Her grades isn't that bad, she've got 9's on her 10th grade but still she's placed 5th in class. Celene got no warnings and secured her position as the 1st. But still, the Pres. position got taken away from her, and she never even fussed about it.
"She might seem a bummer for you, but they do seemed fit for each other no?" he added.
"Yeah. to start with, she got it all" she murmured and then continued their memorization. She couldn't help herself to peek once at a time but still she managed to avoid getting noticed by James. WELL IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF YOU'D GET TAKEN ADVANTAGE BY XECON AND LOOSE YOUR TITLE AT THE TOP GURL. YOU'D NEVER KNOW WHAT A CHEATER IS CAPABLE OF DOING. she thought as class continues.

It's 3:58pm and almost everybody's gathered up Infront of the exit. Briar saw Xecon standing at the waiting shed and decided to approach him in hopes of going home with him.
"I have an appointment with Celene today, she invited me to have a cup of tea" Said he, a moment before Celene arrived. She clung herself up on Xecon's shoulder. "Wanna come Pres.? We don't mind having a friend come over"
"Ahh, no thanks don't wanna bother you guys. Take your time" and then left. Good thing the gate's now open.

She walked pass some street vendors and bought herself some Kwek-kwek as she was walking her way home. As she was nearing the kids park some students run on to him. SEEMS LIKE THEIR PARENTS AREN'T STILL HERE TO PICK THEM UP.
"Ate unibititi tudent ta po ba?" A kid about the size of her waist happily approached as the others raced their way to her.
"Opo" she nodded in response patting each of their heads.
"You Walking lolone ate?"
"Ano po?" she gently asked as another cutie struggled her way to speak in English. Nasa malapit lang din naman ang teacher nila naka tingin kaya't ininjoy nya nalang ang company ng mga bata.
"Lolone po tayo nag walk? tan po te tuyang pogi?" the girl repeated.
"Opo alone po ako ngayon nag walk, May ka date po kasi ang kuyang pogi nyo e. Pwede nga po kayo mag salita ng tagalog okay lang po yun sakin" ani nya sabay upo sa ground para mas comportable.
"Nag cheat po ba sya?" tanong naman ng isang batang lalake na medyo mas matanda-tanda pa sa kanila ng konte. Mga around 6 na ata sya.
MGA BATANG TO KUNG ANO-ANO NANG NALALAMAN.
"Hindi ko sya jowa po" pakamot ulo nyang ani sa mga batang pinag lalaroan ang buhok nya.
"Bf kayo e kasi sabay kayo lakad e. Ang sweet nyo pa e"
"oo nga. And ang pretty mo po e"
"ambad tagaga-ga ni tuya! papa galitan po namin si tuya tomoyo po"
"opo wag kana po sad"
"aawayin po namin sya pag mag daan sya po dito"
"Ampogi nyapa tana tapot ambad paya"
Isa-isang ani nila na ikina saya ni nya kahit papano. Kung ano-ano na talaga nalalaman ng mga bata ngayon. Pero may isang mungkaheng humubog ng atensyon nya.
"Pano nyo naman nasabing pogi e palaging naman yung naka mask"
Lumapit yung isang bata at binulongan sya ng napaka lakas.
"Nakita nyo na mukha nya!!!!?"
"palagi po" sagot naman nila.
Nauna lang pala si Xecon ng dalwang taon sa kanya dito sa HILLTOP CITY at nung mga panahong yun ay parati lang syang naka tunga-nga sa isang bench ng park tuwing hapon. Nasa mga 9th grade ata sya nung time na yun. And surprisingly last year lang pala syang nag simulang mag mask at bihira nalang tumatambay sa park.
"Gusto mo po makita?" bulong nung isang batang mas nakaka tanda sa kanila kaya't bumalik sya sa kanyang isipan. "pano?"

Pagka dating nya sa Bh ay di na sya nag abala pang mag luto. Inubos nyana kasi budget nya ngayong gabi sa kwek-kwek na binili nya kanina kaya't napaupo nalang sya sa harapan ng Laptop nya ng napansin nyang may 4 na missed call sya galing kay Sevi.
WALA PA NAMANG 6, AHH? BAT NAPAAGA ATA TAWAG NYA?
Dali-dali nyang tinawagan ito in thoughts na baka may problema sa kanila. Nasa States kasi sina Sevi kaya't 13hrs ang pagitan nila. The fact na alas kwartro palang ng hapon ay tumawag na ito knowing na pauwi palang sya sa mga sandaling yan, baka may problema.
Hindi ito agad na sagot ni Sevi ang pangalawang tawag ni Briar kaya't tarantang tinatong nya ito kung may problema ba ng biglang tumawa lang ito.
"Hah! Anong klaseng problema naman sa tingin mo ang mangyayari sakin ha?" sa tono palang, alam nyanang okay lang pala si Sevi. TSK...
Di na sya nag salita kaya't sinundan na agad ito ni Sevi. "Anyways tignan mo Gc nyo, naka add na dun acc ng Novie mo. Pa lihim-lihim kapa kala mo naman diko malalaman"
WHAT THE?...
