A moment later, he arrived at the front door. Pablo had left three days ago and I came back here again. Stell swipe the key card before it automatically opened. Closing the door behind, Stell walk to the room, totally dragging his feet's all the way with a long face. ... he climbed his way up and plopped lying flat on the bed letting out a groan of exhaustion.

Since he was absent for a few days, he have to pursue lessons na namis niya. Mas abala pa siya ngayon dahil malapit na rin ang finals, so he decided to do a group study after their class. He has a lot on his plate these days that he doesn't have time to talk to Pablo even just for a moment.

Stell let out another sigh, "It felt weird lying in an empty bed .." He murmurs. A sense of solitude washed over him.
"I miss him .... Gano'n ba siya ka-busy that he can't reply to any texts or answer my calls ..." The younger continued mumbling to himself.

He slowly curled into the large blanket. Grabbing a fistful, pulling the fabric over his head. Pablo's scent still lingers here, Stell chuckles as he gathered it, drawing it near his nose to inhale it deeply ... Until he fell asleep.

Stell opened his eyes slowly the next morning. I stretched up a little then slipped out of bed heading towards the bathroom. He gets undressed and makes his way into the shower. After a quick shower, Stell got dressed and slung his backpack over his shoulder, heading straight to the door.

Lunch break comes up, He tapped on Pablo's name, hiding his disappointment and tucked his phone on his pocket. They talked for a while this morning bago siya pumasok, the older said he would call but it was past lunch and he still hasn't called again.

Nagkayayaan naman sina Jaz, Justin at Mikha na kumain sa labas kaya imbes na magmukmok ay sumama siya sa kanila. He was just waiting for Justin para sabay na silang bumaba while Jaz and Mikha were already downstairs.

Sa kabilang banda, A man got out of his car and approached a girl who was leaning against the gate. Jaz was so focused on her phone that she didn't notice the man. Napa-angat lang siya ng ulo nang makita ang sapatos sa kan'yang harapan .. She looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her with wide eyes. ...

"Excuse me miss?" He spoke shyly scratching the back of his head. "Do y- .." Jaz spoke showing her palm, cutting him off. "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested." direktang aniya.

Matunog ang naging pag ngiti nito saka napailing. "No, I'm not going to ask for your number. Gusto ko lang malaman kung saan ang room ng mga third year." Pagtatama niya. Medyo napahiya naman siya sa sinabi nito.

"I-if in the third year y-your in the right place. " nahihiyang tugon niya. Tumingala muna ito sa building pagkatapos ay nagpasalamat, "then, If you'll excuse me..." paalam nito at umalis. Jaz just nodded in response out of embarrassment.

Once the man was out of her sight, she buried her face on both of her palms before silently cursing herself. "Shit. Nakakahiya!"

A wave of murmurs swept through the crowd. All the students turned their heads to see a very tall and handsome man walking into the hallway glancing in every room... but his trance was soon cut off seeing a familiar figure.

"Stell!" Mabilis siyang napalingon ng may tumawag sa pangalan niya at agad siya nitong sinalubong ng yakap.

"It's really you." Masayang aniya at niyakap siya ng mas mahigpit. Ang higpit ng yakap nito na parang ayaw siyang pakawalan. "W-wait, Nicholas. H-hindi na ako makahinga." reklamo ko at agad naman itong kumalas ...

"Sorry nabigla lang ako hindi ko kasi akalain na makikita kita dito." Paghingi niya ng dispensa. Stell nodded in understanding. "Ano nga pala ang ginagawa mo dito?" pag-iiba niya sa usapan. Only then did Nicholas remember why he was here, "Ah, yun ba. I was going to pick up my sister."

And as if on cue ay may nagsalita sa likuran ko. "Kuya, anong ginagawa mo dito?" Stell turned and saw Aiah. One of my study group mates. But were not really close since I don't socialize much with her.

Just a few minutes later, Stell and Justin came down but Jaz immediately frowned when she noticed the guy with them who she thought was going to ask for her number. "Sino 'yon?"

"Ay peste!." halos mapatalon naman si Jaz sa gulat ng may magsalita sa tabi niya. "Ano ba! Bakit bigla-bigla kang sumusulpot." Galit na asik niya sa kaibigan. .. Ngumiti lang si Mikha at pinakita sa akin ang ice cream na hawak niya. ...

"So, who's that guy talking with Stell?" Mikha asked then licked her ice cream. "I don't know, But they seem to know each other. " She responded, shrugging her shoulders.

Binalingan niya ito. "Bakit type mo?" tanong niya habang humahalukipkip. Mikha's face then contorted to utter disgust. "Nagpapatawa ka ba? Hindi kami talo."

Jaz quirks a brow. "Bakit, sino ba ang type mo?" Pang-uusisa niya. Bigla namang nanlaki ang mga mata niya ng makita na bahagyang namula ang mukha ng kaibigan, "O M G! May nagugustuhan ang isang Mikha lim!" Hindi makapaniwalang saad niya.

Jaz then follows where Mikha was looking at the girl next to Justin. She's Aiah, she's also a third year student. Known for being smart, an academic achiever, sporty and the number one beauty of our school.

Soon her face turned to a realization.
"Si Aiah ang gusto mo!" Sigaw niya dahilan para mapatingin sila sa gawi namin. Nabatukan naman siya ni Mikha dahil dito.

"Sige lak'san mo pa." She said, Mikha's voice dangerously low as she continued to glare daggers at me. . Jaz looked at them and let out an awkward laugh.

Once they took their eyes off her she spoke again in a low voice. "Can you blame me, Hindi ko kasi inaasahan na ganon pala ang mga tipo mo. I was so sure pa naman that I was your type." She voiced out placing her forefinger on her chin.

Nilapitan ni Justin ang mga kaibigan at naabutan niyang nagbabangayan na naman ang dalawa. It was nothing new to him. Since they had been friends for a long time, kaya sanay na siya.

Mikha frown at her words. She looked at her as if she wanted to puke. "What! Do you know how gross, that sounds." naasiwang sagot nito. "It grossed me out more, alright." Jaz retorted, sticking out her tongue.

Jaz glanced over the tall man and saw the way he stared at Stell. "Hey," Tawag niya sa mga ito. "Looked over there," utos niya and the two followed. There was a glint on the man's eyes filled with admiration habang kausap ang kaibigan nila. Nagkatinginan naman ang mga ito at mukhang iisa lang ang tinatakbo ng isip nila.

On the other hand. Nicholas and Stell exchanged phone numbers for the second time before they parted ways. Nicholas thanked him again and Aiah just nodded her head before he drove the car away and Stell even waved at his departing car.

"Tara na." ani ni Stell sa mga kaibigan bago ito inakbayan. Napatigil naman sila sa pagbubulungan at lahat ay napabaling sa akin. "What is it? Am i missing something?" I asked and arch an eyebrow curiously. Sabay sabay naman silang umiling na ipinagsawalang bahala niya na lang.
