"... You know what, there's a mall nearby." Jaz suggests and everyone agree since we were all hungry.

"Then I'll drive," presinta naman ni Mikha na sinangayunan nilang lahat.

Once they reaches her car everyone's hops inside. Jaz on the passenger's seat meanwhile Justin and Stell are at the back. "Put your seatbelt on, please," Mikha tells us, turning forward in her seat as she starts up the car.

It wasn't a long drive to the nearest mall. Buti nalang at hindi masyadong traffic ngayon kaya Ilang minuto lang ay nakarating na agad sila sa mall. As soon as Mikha parked her car we all got out then headed inside to have some lunch.

After they ordered, we all sat in one place. Justin then started the conversation "So tell us about that guy ..." Agad siyang nag-angat ng tingin, Justin wiggled his brows at me as he shifted his eyes between Jaz and Mikha and Stell brows furrowed slightly. He thought for a moment, "oh! You mean Nicholas?" Justin nods his head vigorously.

Binaba niya muna ang hawak na kutsara at tinidor and even wiped his lips with a paper towel. "He was just someone i know .." Panimula niya. "Remember when we went to the bar for Jaz. That's when I met him. I was being jolsted and almost fell over but he saved me on time. There's a time we accidentally met in a store,  exchanged our numbers and then somehow we easily became friends." He explained casually.

"Bakit mo pala natanong?" Stell's gaze fixed on Justin with a mix of questioning and Justin answered followed by a shrug. "Wala lang, just to fill my curiosity." He didn't pry any further after that so Stell continued to eat.

Pagkatapos nilang mag-lunch, we all parted ways. Jaz, Mikha and Justin decided to stay longer dahil wala na kaming klase while I on the other hand still had a study group after lunch time. Nagpaalam na din ako bago pumara ng taxi.

Our study sessions frequently take place in the library but now we moved to a café near our university. ... tinignan niya ang mga kasama sa mesa. Our study group consists of 6 members including me and Aiah. After studying for hours it was around six when Aiah left and after a few minutes I also decided to excused myself.

At the same time, Aiah sees the car and a smile goes across her face. "Kuya!" Tawag niya sa kapatid habang kumakaway. Lumapit siya dito at akmang bubuksan na ang passenger seat nang pigilan niya ako. "Sa back seat kana lang muna maupo," nag-tataka man, Aiah still comply.

She followed her brother's gaze noticing as if he was still waiting for someone. After a while someone came out of the café and Nicholas immediately smiled.

Stell felt the chilly breeze as it hit his face before he finally shut the door close. He checked his phone again with hope but to his dismay there's still no news from Pablo. I tried to dial his number but it was still unattended.

I stood there, a little disappointed growing in him.. He sigh deeply and strode with his hands in his pockets.

He took one step forward. It was then *beep beep*. There was a loud honking , everyone turned their heads towards the source. The source of the honk was from a luxurious car.

Then the window silently rolled down and a face appeared from it while his hand on the handle. Perhaps because of his handsome face, a wave of murmurs swept through the crowd. "Let's go I'll take you home." Naka-ngiting alok ni Nicholas who was now opening the passenger side.

He made his way through the crowd but politely refuse the offer, "Hindi na, dalawang kanto na lang rin naman ang lalakarin ko mula rito."

"It's fine. I insist," giit niya. The backseat window rolled down and I saw Aiah peeking in there... "Come on Stell, get on. Nicholas won't leave until you say yes." She also insists.
