Echoes of the Past // MIKHAIAH

Chapter 2: The Meet

Third Person's POV

Matt woke up with the sound of her alarm. She groaned and slowly got up.

"Ano bang kasalan ko sa mundo? Bakit may 7am class ako?" she muttered to herself.

A few minutes later, she got up and started getting ready. She decided to wear a beige turtleneck with a brown coat paired with white pants.

She drove to school and found a coffee shop, then decided to stop.

"One cappuccino, please." she ordered.

"Would that be all, ma'am?" the cashier asked.

"Yeah, thank you."

She sat down in one of the chairs when she received a message.

Michelle Ricalde

Hey! Don't be late for our first class. Are you awake?

Reply:
I stopped by a coffee shop. Do you want anything?

M: Pass. Sumasakit tiyan ko dyan.

"Cappuccino for Jacob!" the cashier shouted.

She stood up and got her coffee and drove to school. She got out of her car when suddenly.

BAAAM!

"Fuck!" Matt exclaimed. "What the fuck! Can you fucking watch were your goi--" she was cut off when she looked at the girl.

The girl was pretty. She had silky black hair, brown eyes, a pointed nose, and a pink luscious lips.

'She looks good.' Matt thought.

"I'm sorry. Late na kasi ako sa class ko." The girl looked up. "Gosh! I spilt coffee on your coat. I can clean it up." The girl stood up and grabbed her handkerchief and tried to wipe the stain off Matt's coat.

Matt was just staring with the girl's worried face. She stopped her hand by grabbing it.

"I don't accept sorry. I'd be glad if you'd eat lunch with me." she smirked.

The girl raised her eyebrow and gave her a 'what the hell' look.

"Look, maganda ka and all, but I have a boyfriend, and I don't date girls. I'm sorry."

"Never say never, Miss. I'm Jacob, by the way, and you are?" she reached her hand out.

"I'm late. Goodbye!" The girl walked off and left Matt in the parking lot.

"Goodbye, late! See you around!" Matt shouted.

She looked at her clothes and decided to take off the coat since it was the only thing that was stained. She glanced on her watch.

"Shit! It's 6:55!" she exclaimed and started running.

She was glad that the building was near and that Mich gave her a tour yesterday. Which is why she was just on time.

She saw Mich wave at her and sat next to her.

"Ang tagal mo naman. Malapit ka pa na-late." Mich whispered.

"Someone bummed into me at the parking lot and spilt coffee all over my coat, so I was a little bit delayed." she smiled, remembering the encounter she had with the girl.

A few minutes later, their professor entered the room. The prof introduced the subject and discussed the rules and grading system. He introduced himself and instructed them to introduce themselves in front.

Matt was not listening, then she heard a familiar voice.

"Hi, everyone! I'm Alaia Queen Arceta. You can call me Aya. 22 years old. From Lapu-lapu, Cebu. Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I hope we all get along." Matt smiled. It was the girl from earlier.
