The beach volleyball competition will happen within a week and Bea has never been this stressed in her life. She was running all around Ateneo the whole day and will be having her training later in the evening. She is now at the library finishing all her papers that is due for the week so she won't cram them. She was so focused in what she was doing that she didn't notice Dani sitting in front of her.

"Nakakainis! Alam na nga niyang naghahabol si kuya ng requirements eh!" Dani said while flipping the page of a book. Bea glanced at her and told her that she might tear the pages of the book.

"Wala na akong pake, ate Bea. Alam mo ba yang si kuya nasa beach ngayon? Eh may UAAP siya at classes!" Dani said frustrated.

Bea raised her eyebrow and asked, "huh? Sinong kasama niya? Wala naman siyang nababanggit sakin."

"Sino pa? Edi yung B.I. na babaeng yun! Nakakainis talaga bakit siya pa nililigawan ni kuya eh! Bakit di nilang ikaw?" Bea just looked at Dani after what she said.

Also, both of them know that there are still things that Thirdy needs to submit ever since what happened 2 years ago. He was taking the subject only this sem since he was already loaded in the past year. If he failed this subject again, he might not be able to continue playing for season 80.

"Papost post pa siya ng pic, nakakainis! Buti nalang sinumbong ko na to kina mama." Dani exclaimed while scrolling through her phone. Bea returned to her senses and did the same. She scrolled through twitter until she saw the pictures posted by Thirdy and felt her heart sting a little.

"Bagay naman sila ah?" Bea said when she locked her phone.

Wow, Bea labas sa ilong ah.

"Ate? Okay ka lang? Bilhan kita contacts oks lang?" Dani looked at her intently.

"Observation lang naman, Dans."

"Alam mo ikaw lang nagsabi niyan. Sa lahat ng friends natin." Dani sighed.

"You know sa mga novels or movies, short girl plus tall guy?"

"Mas bagay parin yung magkalapit lang ang height. In short, kayong dalawa ni kuya, ate Bei."

Bea and Dani went to their last class before training. Bea was out of focus the whole time since she was thinking about that photo.

He looks so happy. I can never make him that happy.

Bea sighed and shaked her head to get the pictures away from her thoughts. She doesn't want to be distracted later especially during their training. For sure it won't end well in case that will happen.

While cooling down during their 3 hours night training, the girls can't help but talk about the picture posted by Thirdy since Dani keeps on ranting about it.

"Grabe talaga si Kuya. Nakakainis parin talaga!" Dani said while trying to compose herself.

"Nasaang beach or resort ba sila, Dani?" Jules asked.

"Di ko alam at wala rin akong pake." Dani replied with a straight face. Some girls can't help but chuckle at her reaction. Dani is really pissed and they can sense how much she dislikes the girl.

"Eh ikaw ate Bei, alam mo ba nasaan sila?" Ponggay asked.

"Di ko alam, Pongs. Kung si Dani di alam, mas lalo pa ako." Bea said and smiled.
