Three Weeks Later...
Sa muling pagtakbo ng mga araw, nagiging mas malapit ang grupo nina Casey, Sky, Sheila, Alex, Myles, at Jamie.
At gano'n din ang puso ni Myles para kay Casey.
Unang beses pa lang nang makaramdam siya ng kakaiba para kay Casey, alam na agad niyang hindi ito basta-basta lamang. Wala rin naman siyang balak itanggi pa kung ano mang nararamdaman niya para kay Casey.
Besides, it feels likes getting out of a chokehold for Myles; that she isn't suffocated by the pain that her ex, Max, had left her anymore.
At sa buong tatlong linggong pagsasama-sama nilang lahat, Myles never hide her affection towards Casey. Laking gulat na nga lang ng mga kaibigan nila na kung ano-anong bagay ang ginagawa niya para lang magpapansin kay Casey.
At siyempre, hindi rin siya nakaligtas sa mga tanong ng mga kaibigan niya, especially Alex.

Flashback
Isang araw, sa may hallway, makikita si Myles na may kausap na dalawang babae, same as the ones who invited her over at the bar. Mukhang katatapos lang ng klase ni Myles nang lapitan siya ng mga ito.
"Myles! I'm glad we caught up to you! Gusto lang sana naming i-invite sa bar. May birthday celebration kasi ngayon 'yung friend namin, VIP daw. She wants to have you over."
Si Myles, na katatapos lang maglagay ng gamit sa locker niya ay isinara muna ito bago humarap sa dalawang babaeng kakilala niya. "Sorry girls, I don't feel like going to bars anymore."
Disappointment can be seen written all over the girls' faces from Myles's rejection to their offer. "Aww, kahit saglit lang? Just a drink or two will be fine! Or kahit mag-stay ka lang for an hour, pwede na 'yon!" The other girl suggested.
But Myles just shook her head, giving them an apologetic look. "I don't feel like drinking, too, I'm sorry. If ever man, I would require some peace and alone time. Plus, I don't want to entertain other girls anymore."
"Why? Do you already have someone in mind?"
Myles had to purse her lips to stop herself from smiling, yet still failing to do so. But she nodded, nevertheless, confirming the girls' assumption.
"Yeah... I guess you could say that."
Although disappointed, the girls respected Myles's decision and still wished her the best. They dismissed themselves not long before Alex decided to show herself, standing beside Myles.
"That's such an unusual move of yours." Sabi ni Alex habang tinitignan ang mga babae, na kanina lamang ay kausap ni Myles, na lumayo mula sa paningin nila. "You're not the one to reject a girl nor an invitation to a bar."
Myles let out a chuckle, "You have no idea how many offers I've rejected already lately."
Alex raised a brow, "And why is that?" Tanong niya rito . Although she already knew why, she wanted to hear it from Myles herself.
"Narinig mo naman na siguro, Alex. I have someone in mind already. And I'm pretty sure you already know kung sino tinutukoy ko."
Alex crossed her arms, looking at Myles seriously. "So, seryoso ka na talaga sa kanya?"
Myles met Alex's gaze, her expression steady. "Oo, Alex. Seryoso na ako sa kanya; seryoso ako kay Casey."
"Ah, so si Casey na nga talaga?" Alex said, a smile showing on her lips. "And you've realized it since when?"
