The scent of cinnamon tea and a soft laughter greeted me as I enter DioCafe. Warm ambiance enveloped my whole being and a series of applause woke me up. This day is so perfect that seems so magical. My team just won again at the Annual RobTech Festival. Well, it's not new to me. I started joining this contest when I was still a freshman and I can say I'm much excellent at it.

" Here comes empress Yu of the Androidmeda, let's welcome her with a round of applause"

I smile widely. Ganito pala ang feeling nang mag celebrate ng championship. Last year was a blur. No celebration at all dahil narin sa sunod sunod na schedule. Kasagsagan kasi yun ng research namin. We have a very hectic schedule that time kaya ipinagpaliban nalang namin ang celebration.

My teammates were so happy. Who would not be. That's National championship and we bagged the bacon. Kahit nga adviser namin di makapaniwala. Sa dami ba naman ng contestants sa ibat- ibang sulok ng bansa, we're blessed to be chosen. We bested among 78 contestants who are also experts of this field. But my team Andoidmeda is the best in this field and it's a 5 man team.
I, Arianne Yu as their team leader and I works as their consultant and head of operation with

Sam Benidect Vidales

Leonhart Madrigal

Drake louvein

Trishia Saffera

And trust me, this guys are bunch of weird duffos.

" That was great there, Androidmeda! You're hard works paid off well. Sana magtuloy tuloy pa ang panalo ng team. Isa itong napakalaking karangalan para sa paaralan at sa buong bansa. That Android you made is a breakout to the Robotic world. Let's cheer for the winners! Let's cheer for Androidmeda! "

"Cheers!" And the roar of the victory party started. Napakaraming putahi, all are Filipino cuisines. May ibat- ibang wine din. Marami kaming narito sa Diocafe. Narito rin ang buong Robotic club. Karamihan sa mga myembro nito ay lalaki dahil na nga sa nature ng aming ginagawa.

I was sipping my tea when our adviser turned towards me. Ugh. What a great disaster. Psh.

" Can I talk to you Arriane?" I rolled my eyes and sigh.

" Okay" Sinundan ko agad si Maam Kastilla palabas. Ano naman kaya this time? I can fell the weird atmosphere around. Nakarating kami sa Garden, she turned to me.

" You did great there Arriane. I'm sure you're father would be glad if-

" I don't care" Balewala kong sagot. This is my family's issue. I don't want anyone snooping around. Private matter shoukd be discussed at home not with her.

" I just want to help you make amends with your dad. It's been a long time."

" Don't act as if you care." Funny. She wants to help me solve this problem that she started? Really? After what she did to our family? The nerve of this bitch.

" I'm coming back. You suit yourself here" Tinalikuran ko agad sya. I know I'm rude but can't help it. She's a bitch.

Brent, one of the club member meets me down the hallway. His eyebrows arched, he sense my anger.

" O Asan si maam?" Agariang tanong nito.

" Umuwi na siguro". Badtrip kong sagot at gad ko naman syang tinalikuran.

" guys, give me your sweetest smile, 3...2 and smile." Nakasanayan na talagang sa isang team merong camera addict and in androidmeda, Trishia's been voted. Walang tigil ito kakapicture. Todo pose. Membro rin sya ng photography club and she's actually the leader of it. She does cover ups sa aming mga activities and she's really great at it.

"Babe, let's go somewhere cozy na, it' s getting boring here"

" Nah. I love here more. You can go if you want to."

Nariyan rin ang womanizer in town na si Sam. Pulos babae ang inaatupag. Nung tinanong ko if inlove ba ang sabi, " Wise men doesn't rush things" So much for the beliefs.

" I believe we're still celebrating bitch. You can just go alone, that's fine with me." And the meanest man in town Leonhart Madrigal who is a woman hater. Not that worst but he hated being with a banshee and I can say, this is not good.

" Y- you! How dare you say that to me! " And now it smells trouble. Tumayo na yung banshee at binuhos kay leon ang laman ng kaniyang baso. Damn. No on messes with Leonhart.
,
" Calm down will you? Nag si celebrate kami dito tapos sasama sama ka kay Sam di ka naman envited. Tss"

" Damn you leon! Argh! Let's go Sam."

" You can go bitch, I don't need you anymore" That made her storm out.Wala talagang kapuso puso itong mga taong to. They say that "a person with a higher I.Q has a lower E.Q. Si sam na ang patunay nyan.

" That's humiliation already Sam. You can just ask her nicely." And the knight in shining armor comes in action. Drake is every girls prince charming. With a blue orbs and a pale skin. He reflects eloquence.

Tumunog muli ang chime, may paparating. May iba pa bang inembetahan si maam Kastilla? Nandito naman kami lahat ah.

"Seriously bro, we need to catch up na! Let's move dude, ampangit na dun sa Mckerel. Lipat lipat din pag may time.!"

"Hahahaha! Damn dapat pala- wooah! May party pala!"

" Pasok na dude- oh wow! Trishia, my babes!"

Napatingin agad kaming lahat sa paparating. Bunch of duffos. Did my team invited outsiders?

" Inembetahan mo sila trishia?" Tanong ko agad. Damn. Pitong naglalakihang mga barako ba naman ang sunod sunod na lumapit dito sa table namin, hindi ko naman kilala. Wala pa naman yung adviser namin, kaka alis lang. Damn. Mga weirdo. Halos iba iba yung kukay ng buhok, may mga peircing pa sa lip at kilay.

" Hindi ah, sabi mo tayo tayo lang. Si sam lang naman ang maharot dito't nagdala pa ng salot. Tsk"

The red haired guy first approached us. He was grinning like a dog. His red hair seems like flaring. He sit next to trishia which in return receive a hard slap.

"Damn babes! What was that?"

"Go to hell asshole. I dont wanna see your ugly face." Trishia snickered. Sumimango naman itonh si red haired.

" Long time no see trish, mas lalo ka atang sumesexy ngayon ah. Witweew!" Sabat naman nung naka mohawk guy at nagtawanan agad kung mga kasama nitong si red haired guy.

" LIke duh? We're over James. Kaya tigil tigilan mo na ako. I don't like you anymore."

Napansin ko agad na may nakatitig sa kin. Napatingin ako sa grupo ng bagong dating. We locked gazes. Meron nga. Si top knot guy. Kung makatingin akala mo binbalatan ka. Lumapit naman din sya sakin at nakipagkamay.

"I'm Luke, you are?"

"Uyy!! Nagbibinata na si lukie baby!! Yayy!"' Tumikhim agad ako ng kantyawan sya ng todo ng mga barkada nya. He stiffed and turned bright tomato. He return his gaze to me and I swear he has the darkest orbs I've seen. His gaze is so intense that I couldn't stand returning it. Damn. My face heats up.

" I'm Arianne, can I take you a photo?" Agad namang naghiyawan ang mga kabarkada nya. Pati tung buong club ko nakikisali narin. Ano nga bang sinabi ko? Damn. Nakakahiya.

" Wow Emp. aggressive ka na pala ngayon. Hahaha!!"

"'Oy! Si Empress, nagdadalaga na!"

" May vedio na ba! Hahaha! Panigurado trending to sa Saphire!"

" I didn't know you were this aggressive" napatingin naman ako kay top knot na si luke. What are they thinking?

" I like your dark eyes, they remind me of someone. So, can I take a photo?" I asked him sincerely. Natahimik naman ang buong DioCafe. Hinihintay yata ang sagot nya. Kung ayaw nya, di ko sya pipilitin.

" I won't force you. Kung ayaw mo edi-"

" Yes. I would love too."
