By the time I blinked, I realized that alot of time had passed and we were nearing December. The weather was colder than usual and majority of the people started wearing jackets and wrapped scarves around their necks.

Besides that, countless of things had changed around.

"You're early today," Star comments and puts down her bag on the floor before taking her seat beside me.

I was about to open my mouth when a faint figure dashed towards me and lunged itself without any warning. I let out a groan and almost tumbled down the floor by it's amazing force."Xiara, I'll kill you the next time you do that," I said nonchalantly.

But she only chuckled and slapped my shoulders playfully. "Oh Marco, I know you love me. You wouldn't do that."

"Cut it out, Xiara," Star gives Xiara a stern look and Xiara wiggles her eyebrows. "Aww she's so jelly. She likes Marco, doesn't she?" she motions to pinch Star's cheek but she slapped it away.

Star gave a frustrated look. "I don't like him! Stop getting the wrong idea! And you!" she pointed at me. "--don't ever believe what this lunatic says!"


Xiara rolled her eyes."Keep telling that to yourself."

Seeing them bickering made me so amused. I never thought that I would end up being friends with them, it wasn't evitable but it sure did happened. Little would I know that I would suddenly become closer with the woman who assaulted me.

And deep inside, I'm grateful I met them.

"It's been a long time since we last met," Veru clasped her hands together, her wide smile never wavering and her poor choice of outfit never failed to surprise me.

"We only met once and it was a month ago," I interjected, stating the facts. She makes it seem like it was years ago, such a dramatic person.

"You're still blunt as ever, Marco Diaz," Veru shakes her head. "--so I called you here because I wanted a checkup on how things were going for the past month."

"Marco?" she eyed me. I replied. "Nothing special really happened. She made a truce."

"A truce?" Veru said a little too chirpy. Star turned red, her cheeks and ears turned visibly red. "It's only because I wanted to be mature and forget the past."

"Really? Never thought you would initiate that," Veru chuckled. "--so is everything alright between you two? Did you stop slithing each other's throats?"

"If you call it that, then yes," I replied.

"So between the three of us, tell me, did any of you develop feelings?" Veru teased and while I stayed unfazed, Star becomes flushed and starts stuttering random noises.

Veru seems to understand something because she holds Star's hand and motions her to come close. Then she whispers something and Star turns even brighter.

"It's always the tough girls who falls deep, aren't they?" she asks and I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know what the hell you meant by that."
