Throughout the senior year, Jenny Faye studied on her own. And for those projects that require a partner or two, she started grouping out with some other classmates. It could be anybody, but Tommy. He attempted several times to ask her to be his partner but it all fell on deaf ears. Jenny Faye never seemed to care about him even for a tiny bit...at least he thought so.

In between their busy college lives, Jenny Faye managed to squeeze in one extra-curricular activity...and that is to virtually stalk Tommy. She makes sure to find time to check what's on his Facebook. She wasn't sure if Alice already knows about her existence. She hopes Tommy didn't bother telling her so she can pry into their private affairs.

"Enjoy being happy...you'll never know, I'd drop the bomb...it's the end!" she said to herself.

She went on with her usual study time. Right now, she maybe virtually stalking them...In the coming days, she planned on literally doing it.

AFTER school, as soon as everyone left their classroom, Jenny Faye made sure that she won't lose sight of Tommy. Now that she knows how to drive, she asked her dad to buy her a new car. At this time, they still have the slightest clue about what's happening between the two. Whenever Mrs. Rodriguez would ask why Tommy no longer drops by to visit, she'd always tell that he is busy...always 'BUSY'!

Since Tommy never knew about her new car, she was able to stalk him freely without him even noticing. Today, Tommy and Alice decided to check out the new cafe' in a block near the university. For the first time, she was able to see how Alice looked like. "She is pretty, alright." she mumbled. From her end, she was able to see the 'blow-by-blow' of events as they unfold. Well, she just gave it a bit of exaggeration, of course as there wasn't anything spectacular at the time. They were just doing the usual...talking and laughing while eating.

Meanwhile, at the table :

"Is something bothering you?" Alice asked Tommy. No matter how he tried to conceal it, the truth kept on creeping out. Alice finally noticed.

"W-What? Why?" Tommy asked in return, all the more confused about being confronted.

"It just feels that your mind's some place elsewhere. Where did you just go?" now feeling a little bit off.

Tommy leaned forward to kiss her on the lips...something that Jenny Faye didn't expect he would do.

"That bastard!" She said aloud this time. She's had enough for today. Jenny Faye decided to leave the place. She'll have to think of something to keep them apart.

When she reached home, she immediately plotted a scheme to 'befriend' Alice. 'This won't be hard' she thought as they are just from one school. She's going to try and wait patiently 'til she finds Alice alone. As they say, keep your friends close...and your enemies closer.

Jenny Faye didn't have to wait that long for that moment to arrive. As soon as their class was over, she made sure that Tommy and Alice already parted ways. Tommy was asked to go home early by his mom as they will have to attend to some important function.

'Hello Lady Luck!' Jenny Faye thought. When everything was clear, she tried to maneuver her car to where Alice was heading. She deliberately honked her car horn that caused Alice to jolt, sending her books half way up the air. Jenny Faye secretly smiled and thought 'B-I-N-G-O!' and hurried off to 'help' the poor girl.

"I-I'm sorry miss. I didn't mean to startle you. It's just that a cat passed by my way and I was scared I might hit it so I honked instead." she explained that seemed like a mouthful.

"Oh no! I'm fine. Thank you for helping out though. I'm Alice." she smiled as she extended her hand in friendship. At the back of Jenny Faye's mind...'I know witch!'. She chose to smile so sweetly and responded with a "Jenny Faye". After a brief introduction, Jenny Faye decided to invite Alice over for coffee as a 'peace offering' which the latter didn't decline. T'was too early to go home and Tommy was somewhere else so she settled for a brief coffee instead.

The two seemed to get along fine and Jenny Faye concluded that Alice wasn't as evil as what she initially thought. No wonder why Tommy fell for her. She's a darling!

It has become a habit that whenever Tommy is not available and Alice needed company, she'd call Jenny Faye instead. Guilt consumes Jenny Faye whenever it happens as she was not only lying to her best friend, Tommy, but to her new found friend in Alice! Jenny Faye carried on with the plan, not because she still feels that Alice deserved to be punished, but because she was completely enjoying her company.
