KIM
" Hey, Cyd, thanks for being there for me always. Since nung nagbreak kami, you're always there and thank you for comforting me when I'm down. I'm lucky to have you in my life. So lucky. "
" Kim, okay lang, noh. I'm always here whenever you need me. That's what friends are for right? "
That's what they are. FRIENDS. But why does Kim's heart tell her otherwise?

Kim woke up to the beeping of her phone. It was only 6am but quite frankly, she couldn't sleep because of the noise. She grabbed her phone from the night stand when someone spoke.
"Huy, Ate Kimmy! Yung phone mo! Ang aga aga. " Dawn mumbled while trying to go back to sleep. She was in her room kasi with her roommates, Dawn, Ara and Carol.
" Sorry. " She said, apologising while opening her phone.
As she did that, she got up from her bed and headed towards the kitchen of their dorm. Wala pang gising sa lady spikers kung 'di siya. Eh, sino ba naman magigising ng 6am sa rest day.
Wearing only her loose shirt and pyjamas, also her cute bunny slippers (Cyd gave it to her as a birthday gift), she sat down on one of the kitchen tools while scrolling on twitter.
It was her twitter notifications that were making the noise. Eh, kasi naman, nakalimutan i-silent. She was checking her news feed first, not yet her notifications. Kim was still sleepy but she couldn't go back to sleep. She got up from the stool she was seating, still scrolling on twitter, and opened the fridge.
Sandali munang binulsa ni Kim ang phone since she pulled out the carton of milk from the fridge. She got a glass and went back to sitting down while pouring herself a drink.
She got her phone again and checked her notifications na. It was flooded. By fans who were wild about the picture she posted. Sobra silang kinilig. No wonder why sabog notifications niya.
Exiting her notifcations, she went to her profile and clicked on the tweet she sent yesterday that made the fans go crazy.
It was a picture of Kim and Cyd's mother, Tita Imelda. The picture was taken last night, when she, Kianna, Cyd and Tita Imelda went to the spa. Kung titingnan mo, walang issue yung pic. But the fact that it was Cyd's mother, the mother of the lady she's being shipped to...well.
Kim was contemplating whether she should delete the photo since it caused an uproar to the fans which would make Tin jealous. Yes, Tin. Friend of Mika Reyes, also known as the girl na liniligawan niya. They've known each other for quite a while now. They've gone out to dinners and parties together, and she's not sure whether Tin is the one or not. It's just a matter of time.
Minding her own business, she suddenly heard the footsteps of a certain girl, Cyd. Cyd was still looking sleepy. Hair messy and eyes half closed. Cyd was too busy yawning while going to the fridge to notice Kim. Cyd was wearing her "i love cebu" shirt and Kim finds it cute.
