Tapos na ang morning class namin and it's 11:30 am right now. Sa mga oras na 'to, students will go outside the campus, but others will just remain here and choose to eat inside the campus instead.

Kasama ko ngayon si Kade, we are deciding where to eat. Wala kasi si Soleia kasi she's with Chi, and Jake is probably with his other friends, he doesn't wanna interrupt us daw kasi.

“So, uhm... Where are we going to eat?” I asked him. Tumingin naman ito sa akin ng naka-kunot ang noo. What??

“Bakit?” Tanong ko sa kaniya.

“Uh... I mean, I'll go with your decision nalang. Baka may gusto kang kainin outside, I'm fine following your decisions.” Sagot nito saakin. Pabiro ko namang sinuntok ang arms niya.

“No! We should decide equally. Hindi naman dahil gusto ko doon, you'll go there too. I mean, it should be fair for both of us. I want us to decide equally always. I don't wanna be under you, so the same as you, you shouldn't be under with me when it comes to decisions, our decisions. Dapat, agree tayo, equal ang boto.” I don't know what's wrong with my words, but he turned red. I softly giggled. What on earth Thaddeus Kade is blushing, huh???

“I was never wrong. My heart was never wrong for choosing you. Alright, if my baby wants us to decide equally, we'll have a vote of our both choices. Mhmm... I'm fine here. Marami namang foods sa cafeteria.” I smiled. Sakto ring ayaw ko ng lumabas ng campus. Plano ko kasi, after we eat, punta kaming library para mag review ng readings namin, para na rin super prepared sa afternoon class.

“Good. I chose the cafeteria too.” He smiled and held my hands. Gosh! Is this really for real? Am I really dating my competitor??? But, nevermind. I'm happy with him.

Ilang minuto pa ay nakarating na kami sa cafeteria. Pinaupo na niya ako sa upuan kasi siya na raw ang bumili ng pagkain namin. Hindi rin naman siya nagtagal doon kasi hindi naman marami ang bumibili, probably, kasi most of the law students kahit lunch time sa coffee shop talaga sila tumatambay dahil narin isa talaga sa strength namin ang uminom ng kape kahit anong oras pa 'yan.

“Wow! You brought carbonara instead of spaghetti!” I was so amazed when I saw what Kade brought for me. I just can't believe it. Sa mga kakilala ko kasi, mostly fav nila ang spaghetti, but ako, I will always be inlove with carbonara.

“Do you remember when we are in the library? You left your phone open while you are scanning books for our assignment. I mean, it's not like I was invading your privacy, because that's your phone, but, I saw your kuya Aust message, he said “baby, already cooked your favorite carbonara” and that is how I found out.” I chuckled and teased him.

“Wow ha! Kasohan kaya kita ng invading of privacy! Under the Data Privacy act of 2012. Sige ka!” Tumawa naman ito at umupo. Tinignan ko naman ang food niya. He ordered adobo, eh maraming pag-pipilian doon. Mhmm... I think, his favorite is adobo.

“Hindi naman kasi you left your phone open kaya! So, it's not my fault. Kasalanan ba kung nademonyo ang mata ko at tumingin bigla?” Tumawa ako sa sinabi nito— But our happiness were interrupted when people at the cafeteria including the teachers were running. Wait... What is happening???

Tumingin naman ako kay Kade ng nagtatanong. May nangyayari ba? He was on his phone for a seconds at agad na tumingin saakin.

“Do you remember our top 3 last year? She is in the rooftop and is about to jump!” My eyes grew big. What??? Bakit???
