Good Morning Ara! :) It's Thomas. What time is your free time today?

Ara read the text message she received the moment she picked up her phone after taking a bath.

"Oy! Mamaya na yan. Kakain na." Ara was about to reply to Thomas but Kim stopped her.

It's a rule at their dorm that there would be no phones during eating time, dinner and lunch.

They finished their meals and went on to their own classes. Ara now had the chance to reply to Thomas' text while walking up to their classroom.

Free ako ng 2-4:30pm then 5pm training namin :)

She replied.

It was a fair-weathered day today though the heat was still on it's rage.

Ara went inside their classroom and focused herself on listening to their prof who just came in.

She couldn't get less excited for her hang-out later with Thomas.

----------------------------------------------

"Naks. Mukhang nagpapapogi tayo paps ah." Gabby teased Thomas who was fixing his hair in the mirror.

"Lagi naman akong pogi--Ouch!"

And a pillow was thrown at him. Thomas gave Gabby a death glare.

"Kapal! Sino bang ka-date natin ha?"

"Anong natin? Ako lang." He joked.

"So may ka-date ka nga... Bilis maka-move on ah!" Gabby laughed.

"I'm just gonna hang out with a friend."

"Ayun, napa-english na. Sinong friend naman?"

"Ba't ba ang dami mong tanong?" Thomas irritatingly faced Gabby.

"Curious lang paps. Baka maganda yang ka-hang out mo," Gabby said quoting the word hang-out. "pwede mo kong ipakilala." He smirked.

"Gago." Thomas laughed. "Pag maganda syempre akin na, won't mind introducing you." He smirked back.

"Sino nga ba kasi? Ayaw pang sabihin."

"Si Ara." Thomas said as he finished fixing himself and went out of their dorm immediately not wanting to be interrogated more.

"Ara?" Gabby stood up and went to his other teammates who were playing 2k14.

"Mga Paps, sino si Ara?" He asked. still curios about the girl.

"Bakit?" Almond asked still concentrated with his game. "Oy Jeron! Daya!" He nudged Jeron.

"Basta, sino nga?"

"Ara Galang ba? Volleyball player yun." Jeron answered as he did a freethrow which was good and punched Almond on his shoulder. "Boom Panes!"

"Ahh."

"Bakit paps?" Almond asked.

"Wala. Ka-date daw ni Thomang."

Jeron suddenly paused the game and he and Almond both faced Gabby.

"Seryoso ka diyan?" They both asked, schocked, in unison.

Gabby laughed, "Ka-hang out pala. Sorry."
