"Magnus Aveline Reyes, gising na! I'm gonna be late na naman dahil sa'yo." Sage, her sister, shouted, banging on the doors or her room, her voice echoed through her apartment, waking Magnus from her sleep.

Magnus stirred and looked at the clock. "You're being OA na naman, you have so much time left." Magnus shouted through the door.

"Tatayo ka diyan o sisirain ko itong pinto, you've been absent for a week. You're a transferee pa and you're a third-year college student" pagbabanta nito sa kapatid, habang kinalabog ng mas malakas ang pintuan.

"Okay, okay!" Magnus called out, rubbing her eyes and getting out of bed. Humikab ito at nag lakad patungo sa banyo.

In the kitchen, Sage was making breakfast. The smell of toast filled the air. Sage, already in her all pink outfit, glanced at Magnus as she came in.

"Finally!?" Sage said with a grin, placing a plate of toast on the table. "Thought you'd beat me to it with all the excitement."

Magnus chuckled, taking a seat. "Yeah, excitement and sleep don't mix well for me."

Magnus and Sage are sisters and they always have each others back. Even though they have opposite interests, nagkakasundo naman sila at kahit laging nagaaway ang dalawa, very protective naman ito sa isa't-isa.

Magnus lived in LA for 12 years, while Sage only lived there for 10 years dahil gusto niya dito sa Pilipinas mag kolehiyo, hindi rin naman problema ang pera sa pamilya nila, so their parents agreed with Sage's decision. Afterwards, Magnus did the same.

Their parents is the CEO of the Reyes Sovereign Capital (RSC), a well known multi-millionaire company. Both of them are the heir of this company, but unlike Magnus, Sage knows how to manage her time and money well.

As they ate, Sage reminded her of the details. "I'll be around lang and if someone's bothering you just message me, ok? And also don't forget your ID and schedule."

"Got it Sage, 'di naman ako elementary, I can protect myself." Max replied. "Baka ako pa nga mang bother eh" she added in a low and serious tone, luckily Sage didn't hear it.

"What did you say?" Sage asked, Magnus just shook her head aggressively.

"Great" Sage said, finishing her coffee with an ease. "Everything's packed in the car. Just get ready, and we'll head out."

"Pwede ba mag convoy na lang?"

"Ay hindi pwede, sasabay ka sakin. Kilala kita, tatakas ka na naman" sagot ni Sage habang naka titig ng masama kay Magnus.

"Alright fine.."

The drive to school was a mix of nerves and excitement. Magnus looked out the window at the busy city, thinking about the day ahead. Excited kasi alam niyang makukuha niya ang atensyon ng lahat. As they arrived, the university looked large and unfamiliar. Students were scattered around, chatting and waiting.

"Seraphine Reyes!" sigaw ng isang napakagandang babae nakakuha ng atensyon ni Magnus.

"Lucky, ngayon ka lang?" Sage asked with the hint of excitement in her voice. "Beh kanina pa ako nandito, hinahanap ko si Rae at Z, abay hindi ko makita."

"Ehem!" Magnus cleared her throat. Nakuha naman nito ang atensyon ni Sage at ni Lucky.

"Well hello there Ms. Max, long time no see. Hind mo naman sinabi na andito ka na. Bakit ngayon ka lang din pumasok?" the shorter girl greeted. 

"Personal stuff, how long has it been kasi, Lucky?" the red haired asked.

"12 years, hon." Lucky replied with a playful wink.
