At Starblocks Café:

"This is so tiring! " Aiah complaining as she placed a big box on the table blocking Jhoanna's face who's drinking a cup of frafucino.

"This is twice the size from before!" Aiah exclaimed.

The two girls are now in their hangout place called 'Starblocks' where they drink their favorite coffee.

"Grabe ka girl!! That's bigger than the last time ha." Jhoanna was surprised about the box.

"What should I do?" Aiah asked.

"Nothing. Gusto mo naman yan di'ba? Ha ha ha" Jhoanna casually said as she began to browse inside the box.

"Dahil alam ko naman na you love receiving these kinds of stuff and who wouldn't want to, diba?" she gave a cheeky look to Aiah and smirked.

Aiah laughed wickedly, "Of course! They're from my admirers who appreciate my ethereal beauty!" She said confidently.

"Edi WOW. Ikaw na Ate Aiah! GGSS ka talaga. Labyu" Jhoanna playfully scoffs.

Chocolates, flowers and love letters in different colors arranged altogether inside the box. This stuff came from Aiah's locker and she's used to get these presents every day. If she were to count all of them, it might be able to fill a whole house. Luckily, she has friends who helps her.

Colet, who loves chocolates, is the one responsible for the sweets while Jhoanna tends a garden, brings all the flowers back home. And for the love letters, Aiah keeps them. She loves to read every cringiest words from her admirers.

'PROBLEM SOLVED'

"Oo nga pala, Colet texted me. She'll be back to school tomorrow." Jhoanna said while munching a donut that made her mouth covered with white powdered sugar.

This lit up Aiah's mood.

"I'm glad she's back, namiss ko na siya sobra! Nagiging Charlie and the chocolate factory na bahay namin. Walang naguuwi ng chocs."
Aiah replied excitedly.

"I feel incomplete kapag kulang tayo." Aiah in a sad tone while drinking her coffee.

"Bakit? Hindi pa ba ako sapat sa'yo Ate Aiah?" Jhoanna making a puppy dog face.

"No"

"......"

"No, because you and Colet are my sources of vitamin C, D, E, F, G hanggang Z..."

"Korni mo Ate Aiah, kinulang ka pa ng A at B"

"Ako yung vitamin A for Aiah~"

"Sino yung B?

"Eh di si jolliB HAHAHA!!"

"Ate Aiah..."

with this, Aiah and Jhoanna burst out in laughter.

**After 30 minutes**

Jhoanna headed home already while Aiah is waiting for her driver to pick her up outside Starblocks. She puts down the box filled with love and scrolls thru social media to kill time.

Her presence alone attracts people's attention; men or women, young or old, even a dog couldn't resist not to look to this young goddess.

Of course, Mariah Queen Arceta is aware of what's happening around her. She developed a keen hearing that even afar she could still hear people's praises in the corner. She showed a simple smile and flips her hair and with that they fell even more for her.

"Gotcha!" she mouthed, feeling satisfied.

Not too long, her driver came and as she was about to open the car door, a familiar figure caught her attention across the street making her stop for a moment.

"Huh? That's the girl I bumped into this morning... "she carefully thought, her eyes glued to that person.
