ALANA'S POV

"Bakit ang aga mo umalis? Apaka aga!" Sienna pouts as she stares at me with her puppy eyes.

"Hindi pa nga tapos yung semester!" Stella comments.

"Sorry, miss ko na si grandparents ko eh!" I force a smile as Cole and Jo sigh.

"Mag-iingat ka ha." Amalia tells me.

"Yup, I will." I nod. I'm planning to buy the train ticket na lang to south after school and leave tomorrow. So, I decide to bid these guys a proper goodbye before I go.

"Ano ba yan! Si Lana nagpapaalam na satin pero nawawala pa rin si Miks." Stella asks the group.

"Baka kasama nanaman yung girlfriend niya." Sienna innocently replies, and Cole hits her on the shoulder for mentioning that.

"I'm expecting a brand new version of Lana ha, pagbalik." Jo speaks quietly to me.

"Yeah, same." I smile.

"I'll see you guys in a bit. Lagay ko lang sa locker 'to." They nod as I gather all of my belongings. However, when I am about to depart from the cafeteria, I feel a vibration at the side of my jacket. I take it out from my pocket, and the screen shows a message sent by Mikaela.

I sigh, staring at the message on the screen and thinking to myself about what Mikaela wants to talk about. I put that thought aside and decide to go there after I put my stuff in the locker.

3RD PERSON

Judy quickly puts Mikaela's phone down after she sees Mikaela return with the cup of water that Judy requested.

"Just go straight to the point, Judy." Mikaela hands her the cup, emotionless.

"Miks, I'm so sorry..." She doesn't make any eye contact with Mikaela. Instead, Judy stares down at her finger that holds the cup Mikaela handed her.

"I know it was immature of me to do that, pero hindi ko mapigilan. I only acted like that because I love you, and I can't stand seeing you with any other girl around you," Judy blurts out.

Mikaela couldn't care less, really. She is too tired of all this. After that incident, she finally knows the true side of her crush. No, her past crush. Judy is nothing like Mikaela would want, and the image of that nice girl from last year fades away in Mikaela's mind.

"Promise hindi ko na gagawin yun. Please forgive me, Miks?" Judy grabs hold of Mikaela's hand, but Mikaela brushes it away. That's enough for Judy to know that the answer is no.

"Miks, ano ba gusto mong gawin ko?!" Judy pleads, but Mikaela's eyes just look at her with unimpressed indifference. Those eyes contain no feelings left for Judy.

Time is running out, and Judy knows it. She needs to act quickly! She needs to show Alana that Mikaela is truly hers!

Judy blinks a few times when a familiar figure catches her eye. It's Alana.

"Miks!" Judy steps closer, standing on her tiptoes before pulling Mikaela by the back of her neck until their lips collide. Everything happens in a flash before Mikaela knows what's happening. It is too quick for her to even react.
