"100... 200... 300... 400... 500... And she likes purple, as I've observed, right? Tsk. Tanginang buhay 'to."
"Ma'am? Nahihirapan po ba kayong pumili? I can assist you naman po if you want."
Gaille shamefully rejected the store owner for her help yet thanked her for offering to do so.
She's currently here at a nearby flower shop in order to execute her and Serena's plan to the next level.
Which she currently regrets right now.

Flashback
"Papatalo ka ba do'n sa mga nagsasabi na cheap ka raw kasi 'yung mga dating manliligaw ko real bouquet ang binibigay sa'kin pero ikaw plastic lang?"
What was intended to be a tease for Serena was taken seriously by Gaille.
"I don't really care about their opinions. But if you do want to receive a real bouquet, saka na lang 'pag we need to put more effort into our deal."

"Why did I even promised her that I'd make more effort 'pag naging 'kami' na? Bad idea, Gaille..."
And she even questions herself why did she bother buying one from a flower shop, physical store itself, when she could've just went to a dangwa flower market instead.
"Nakakahiya kay ate. I've been here for almost an hour..." Gaille bit her lip and took out her phone, swallowing. As well as her pride.
"Bahala na nga."
"Ate, can I pay through Gcash po?"

"At least it's not my money..." Gaille thought as she looked down at the gifts she bought for Serena on their first day at school being 'officially together'.
And yes, giftS. With an S. Plural form.
"Wala pang Valentine's Day pero bongga na ka'gad mga dala mo, Gab." Sabi sa kaniya ni Jordyn from the driver's seat.
Oh, right. Gaille was left no choice earlier but to call Jordyn to pick her up. She couldn't possibly walk all her way to their academy whilst holding a bundle of gifts along with a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
Kaya mas lalo siyang nahihiya ngayon. Especially with the fact that si Allianah lang ang dapat susunduin ni Jordyn.
Though, the latter did insisted that it's okay. Minsan lang naman daw kasi mag-request sa kaniya si Gaille nang kahit anong tulong or kahit ano, in general.
"I-I... I don't know how to do this, JR. I haven't been in a relationship before..." Gaille stated honestly.
She couldn't even get into the character of pretending to be Serena's girlfriend- because she doesn't really know how to.
"Just relax, Gab, okay? I know it could be a little nerve-wracking. But, trust me, once you see Serena's reaction to your gifts, nothing else around would matter." Allianah, who's sitting on the passenger seat, advised Gaille with her usual eye smile.
Jordyn, hearing this from her, couldn't help but think as she focuses on the road. "Siyempre alam mo feeling. Ganiyan ka nung kayo pa ni ex-bf mo eh."
