Aiah's POV

We're here at the cafe inside our campus laughing about some jokes they throw at each other. Mikha and her friends saved us earlier, and I can't deny that Mikha and her friends are kind and easy to get along with.



When we'd decided to go back to our room, a student approached us and said, "Ms. Lim, pinapatawag ka po ni dean sa office, asap daw po. Thank you po." They went their way to their table.

"Anong ginawa mo, mikhs?" Gwen said and looked at Mikha.



"I don't know," she shrugged and just paid for the food we ate. And bid her good-bye to us.



She insisted on paying for the meal, and she said she was sorry for what happened earlier in the hallway.


"Ate Aiah," Sheena whispered, and I looked at her and said, "Why, Bebe?"

"Baka dean's calling her because she saved us, Kanina," Sheena said, worried.



"Sorry to interrupt, but I assure you, hindi mapapagalitan yun because of what she did, Kanina," Gwen said, assuring Sheena that Mikha's okay.


"Are you sure, tahimik din sya kanina, eh?" I said, worrying about Mikha.


"Yeah, Mikha's always silent. Pero okay lang yun wag kayong mag alala," Colet assured us with her words.


"Real, tara sa room?" Maloi asked, and we nodded.


Our teacher arrived, but still, Mikha's not here. Our last class dismissed us, but Mikha didn't come back. Maybe the dean is really mad at what happened in the corridor.


"If you guys are wondering, kung nasaan si mikha, hindi rin namin alam, but we'll talk to her on the phone and update you guys," Colet said, and they bid good-bye and went home.

I just got home, and I went straight upstairs to change my clothes, and unfortunately, I fell asleep.

I woke up at 5:30, so I went straight to the bathroom and got ready for school. After taking a bath, I went down to eat my breakfast with my family.



"So, how's the first day of school, my baby?" my dad asked me.


"It was tiring, but I had fun," I said, smiling at him.
"And I'm not a baby anymore. I'm 19 years old, dad," I said, continuing to eat.

He chuckled and just let me finish my breakfast. I told them I needed to go to school, and I'll be letting my driver drive me to school.

I was here at our school gate, waiting for the girls to arrive, when a black car stopped and the door opened. A girl wearing a black cap in our school uniform with red hair got out of the car. It was her. it's Mikha.



"Hey, good morning," I said, smiling at her as she settled beside me.


"Good morning. Why are you here this early?" Mikha said while looking for something in her bag.


"I'm waiting for the girls, ikaw ba?" I answered and looked at my watch. shocks, it's already 7 a.m..


"Waiting for Colet and others," she answered, pulling out two cups of drinks inside her bag.



"What do you prefer, coffee or milk?" she asked me while looking at the cups.

"I don't know both??" I said curiously "why is she asking me these questions" i said to myself as i try to calm myself.

"Come on, pick one. Coffee or milk?" She said as she made me face her and choose between the coffee and milk.


"Uh, milk nalang," I answered.



She handed me the milk and took a sip of her coffee. I took a glance at her, and damn, she's pretty and handsome at the same time.



"Thanks," I said, and she looked at me and asked, "What?" I raised my hand with the milk she gave me and said, "For this," and smiled at her.


"Welcome," she said, taking her phone out of her pocket.


"Are you okay? I mean, you skipped two of our classes yesterday," I asked her, and she put her wallet in her pocket and looked at me.



"Yes, I'm good. Dean excused me in those 2 classes for some reason," she answered, looking at me as if she's assuring me that she's okay.

"You-" I didn't finish what I was saying when the girls arrived and said, "Good morning!" Sheena and Maloi said



"You're late," Mikha said with a serious face while looking at Collet, who just arrived.



"Kahit na. akin na lang, you don't event drink Mi-," Colet answered, but she didn't finish what she was saying because Mikha covered her mouth.



"Aray Mikhs, oo na," Colet said, accepting her defeat while pouting.


"Stop that, hindi bagay" mikha said with her serious face and walk her way inside the campus.


"Tara, let's follow her," Gwen said, following Mikha.



"Gwenny, wait," Sheena said, and she ran towards Gwen.



"GWENNY!???" me and the girls said in unison.


"I made her nickname last night, hehe," Sheena said while smiling sweetly at us.



"Huh? Mikhs!" Maloi called and ran towards Mikha. "What are you going to do in the dean's office?" Maloi asked her.



"I need to do something." Mikha didn't finish her sentence when our Dean called her with an older woman and man.


"Mikha" Dean said while looking our way.



"TITAAA!" Maloi screamed and ran towards the woman.



"Hey loi, when are you guys gonna visit the house" the woman said and hugged maloi and looked at Gwen and Colet who's now walking toward the woman.


"Hello tita, we missed you" Gwen and Colet and hugged the woman.

"We're free, naman po tita. pinagtatabuyan lang kami ng anak nyo" Gwen said as if she wanted the woman to scold Mikha's



"What brought you here po, lagi naman na po maagang napasok si mikhs" Colet said and maloi and Gwen laugh.

"Whatever," Mikha said with a serious face, facing our dean and the elders.


"Mom, I told you I'd do it. No need to go here to check if I mean it. You know," Mikha said, looking at the woman and me. I was shocked. This woman is Mikha Lim's mom.

"Just checking, we know you, anak," Mikha's mom said, looking at us. Her gaze stopped at me and she said, "Who do we have here?" She asked while looking at me.

"They're our new friends, Tita" Maloi said while looking at us and smiling at Mikha's mom.

"She's Sheena, Tita and Tito" Gwen said, pointing to Sheena and smiling at Mikha's parents.

"She's Stacey, naman po, tita and tito" Maloi said, introducing Stacey to Mikha's parents.

"She's Jhoanna. Tita and Tito, Jho and Mikha do get along" Collet said, looking at Mikha and Jhoanna.

"Really, my Mikha does get along with people" Mikha's mom said, teasing Mikha.


"Of course, mom, what do you think of me?" Mikha said, looking at her dad, signaling for help.


"And she is?" Her mom asked them while looking at me from head to toe.

God, she's pretty but scary at the same time. I'm nervous.
