Inspired by the Cornetto commercial.

Bea was about to go to the library but she felt an arm around her shoulders.

"Ano nanaman gusto mo, Thirds?" Bea rolled her eyes and spoke to the man, who was once again annoying her every after classes.

"Ikaw." Thirdy answered her back and that completely made Bea speechless and the man totally noticed it.

"Joke lang naman, Bei. Sineryoso mo naman, may gusto ka sakin no?" Thirdy said while wiggling his eyebrows.

"Buti naman alam mo." Bea replied instantly and Thirdy was really taken back.

Bea felt proud about that comeback and she knew that Thirdy won't take it seriously, even though it really was for her.

To tell you about this two 'good friends' as they tell everyone when they question them. Bea was certain about her feelings about Thirdy, she liked him a lot but she doesn't know about what her good friend feels about her.

They usually have this conversation about liking each other everytime they meet up but none of them ever takes it seriously.

"Oh ano, Thirdy. Did you get nervous?" Bea spoke after that silence and if it is not obvious, teasing Thirdy about his reaction.

"Hindi ah, alam ko naman na wala ka talagang gusto sakin, no." Thirdy spoke with so much confidence.

"Ganito nalang, gusto mo hanapan kita ng cutie?" Thirdy suggested to the woman beside her. It made Bea wonder what her good friend is up to now.

"Anong cutie? Ano ba yang pinagsasabi mo?" Bea asked.

"Cutie, alam mo yun? Yung gwapo ganun, basta in short, magiging boyfriend mo."

"Cutie? For what?" Bea asked with so much confusion and curiosity evident to her voice. She also had a weird face going on while saying that.

"Pansin ko kasi, Bea. Parang wala ka manlang nagpapakilig sa buhay mo, at kung meron man, di pasok sa standards ko." Thirdy explained to her.

"Eh, ano naman paki-alam mo dun?" Bea answered back immediately. She felt suspicious about the boy she likes' plan.

"Gusto ko mapunta ka sa lalake na bagay talaga sayo and will surely make you happy." Thirdy spoke with sincerity and it got the best out of Bea.

Without even noticing it, Bea was touched about what Thirdy said. But, one side of her mind was saying that Thirdy was enough for her already.

"Thank you, Thirdy. But san ka naman maghahanap niyan?" Bea said warmly to Thirdy. He knew at that moment, Bea was into this plan.

Bea felt disappointed but she couldn't help but want to spend time with the boy she likes, and even if it takes him to apparently find the 'right guy' for her.

"Dito lang, dito sa Ateneo. Mas okay na dito ang mga tao, matitino." Thirdy answered with a soft smile.

"So! Let's start the Operation: Find Bea a Cutie Project!" Thirdy said enthuiastically.

"What's with the name? You are really being super weird today, Thirdy." Bea told her but he just replied with a smile.

"Sige, bahala ka. So, who do you recommend to me?" Bea said confidently and suddenly forgot about all her plans. But it was not really unusual, since it happens a lot when she is with Thirdy.

Thirdy pulled her hands and led the way to the first boy.

"Hoy! Pwede bang di mo ko hilahin habang ginagawa natin to? It hurts na Thirds, eh." Reklamo ni Bea pero wala naman paki-alam si Thirdy dito.

After ilang minutes ng paglalakad, hinayaan nalang ni Bea si Thirdy kung san man siya nito dadalhin. Halos, makatulog na nga siya dito.

"Oh ano, Thirdy. Wala pa ba tayo dun?" Bea asked for the nth time annoyingly.

"Okay, nandito na tayo."

"Hay salamat naman, Thirdy. Ang haba-haba ng nilakad natin---" Napatigil si Bea sa pagdadaldal.

"HOY FERDINAND CRISOLOGO RAVENA THE THIRD!! PINAKALAKAD MO KO NG MATAGAL SA SEC WALK LANG NAMAN TAYO MAPAPADPAD--"

"Chill, Bea. Pansin ko lang kasi kailangan mo exercise." Thirdy said calmly but all he got was a death glare from the girl beside her.

"Pero seriously, why here, Thirdy?" Bea asked Thirdy after calming down.

"Ito ang simplest place to find people, and lagi naman maraming tao dito so.." Thirdy said to her while scanning the place to find a boy perfect for Bea.

"Okay then, hit me with your best choices." Bea challenged the man beside her.

Let's see. Thirdy spoke in his mind.

"Okay. I have one." Bea turned to Thirdy.

"Bilis mo naman, this is so unlike you." Bea told Thirdy and even had a chance to tease him while in this so called 'Find a Cutie for Bea Project'

"Okay, first boy. Cutie na Chinito, Anton Asistio." Thirdy pointed at Anton laughing with some of his teammates.

"Seriously, Thirdy. Anton?" Bea didn't understand what was going on in Thirdy's head.

"I remember you said that he was cute in Ponggay's instagram live so.." Thirdy explained slowly and was clearly being awkward about this.

"But you would seriously give me to your teammate? This is so unlike you, Thirds..." Bea asked with suspicion.

"But I like him naman so.." Bea added and Thirdy looked at her with surprise.

"WTF BEA?!" Thirdy shouted at her.

"I thought you recommended him to me because you actually liked Anton to be my boyfriend, okay, linawin mo nga, Thirdy." Bea looked back at him with crossed arms and was clearly annoyed.

"Okay, okay. I take it back. I was just testing you to see if you really like him. But not him, Bea, ha." Thirdy scolded her.

"Whatever, okay, seryosong pick na. Weirdly, I'm really into this project na.." Bea said while tapping his back.

"But I'm going to say hi to Anton." Before Thirdy could even respond, Bea ran as fast as she can to where Anton was at.

"Hay nako 'tong babaeng to." Thirdy scratched his head and had no choice but to follow her.

"Hi, Anton!" Bea waved at Anton.

"Hey Bea! ano ginagawa mo dito? Diba may---" Anton happily said to Bea but he was cut off.

"Hi Anton!" Singit ni Thirdy habang papalapit sakanila.

"Umm, actually may kalokohan kasi to na ginagawa si Thirdy, sinasabayan ko nalang kasi kawawa naman.." Bea said with tease while pinching the cheeks of Thirdy.

"Sige na, Anton. Alis na kami, ha, bye!" Mabilis na sabi ni Thirdy, obviously doing the best he can to avoid the situation. Hinila niya paalis si Bea.

Habang naglalakad paalis, he looked at Anton one more time and mouthed 'Thank you'

Anton replied with a simple wink and a thumbs up.

Hay Salamat, Thirdy spoke in his mind. He gave out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, why are you like that? Napagod ka ba?" Ito nanaman si Bea, bully mode nanaman.

"Wala.. next location naman tayo.." Thirdy said not minding what she said.

"Okay, bahala ka.." Bea replied.

Compared to what Bea was like for the first location, she was more calm the second time around.

Bea let Thirdy pull her to whatever location it might be because wala naman talaga siya magagawa kahit anong sabihin niya kay Thirdy.

She noticed they were heading to the library, which was really her plan before this annoying turtle disturbed her.
