THALIE's POV

Weeks passed like a blur, I'm currently staying at the fields of the university. Solo ko ang isang table, I'm actually waiting for Alisa, the new student, to do some performance tasks with her. Turns out na we're both taking the same course pala, hindi kami blockmates but we were assigned to do some works together.

This past few weeks I realized that so many things has changed. Mas naging busy na kaming Royalties because of school works, personal or public affairs related 'man 'yan, the girls are very busy na din since sobrang dedicated sila sa buhay nila, habang si Kurt naman ay nag-bago in a good way.

I don't know how to explain it but natutuwa ako sa mga nagagawa niya sakin nitong nakaraang araw, I can feel the sincerity, I'm glad to know na he's not playing around with me.

Si Earl naman, they just told me about his problem, we are affected. Kapatid na rin kasi ang turing ko sakanya at alam kong sobrang mahirap para sakanya ang magpakasal sa taong hindi naman niya mahal. Earl is unfamiliar of the idea of love but he takes this seriously, sagrado ito sakanya lalo na ang kasal. He's a womanizer, no scratch that, pati lalaki ay pinaglalaruan niya but that doesn't mean kaya niya makipaglaro sa lahat ng bagay, iba si Earl when it comes to commitments.

Even when the day he was asked to be a part of the Royalties, be the second Prince and rule the whole university alongside with us ay matindi niya din pinagisipan because committing into something is not very an Earl thing to do. But he still did, dahil mahal niya kami. Ngayon na ipapakasal siya sa hindi niya kilala in the first place, it's hard.

"One, sorry late ako." Hingal na hingal na umupo sa harapan ko si Alisa.

"No worries." I smiled at her.

I opened my macbook to finally start doing the presentation we are assigned to do.

"Do you wanna part the works or let's do it all together?" I asked.

"I'm not that good at presenting po at sa paggawa ng presentation, can we do it all together nalang po?" She spoke formally and even stuttered multiple times. Hindi ko nalang pinoint out dahil baka mas mahiya pa siya.

"It's alright." I smiled once again at nagpasalamat nang inabot niya sakin ang isang folder, naglalaman ito ng mga informations na maari namin idagdag sa presentation. I sighed in relief, she's reliable.

I started making the presentation, asking her if the designs are alright from time to time. She got comfortable overtime naman at nag-umpisa kaming mag-usap ng mga bagay na hindi work-related.

"Close po pala talaga kayong Royalties?"

"Yeah, we've known each other for over a decade na din." I chuckled, typing quickly on the keyboard.

"E' si Kurt po?" Napatingin ako sakanya, kinda got intrigued why she suddenly brought up my Prince.

"Oh, sorry po! Si Uno pala, didn't mean to address him by his first name po." She said, almost crying. Natawa nalang ako, tumingin lang naman ako sakanya because I'm intrigued and not because of the first name basis she did.

I was about to speak when I was cut off by a young student, running towards me while screaming 'ate one' on top of her lungs with something on her hands.

"Ate One! Ate One! Ate One!" She chanted until she finally arrived on my side.

Kumunot ang noo ko nang iabot niya sa akin ang isang bouquet ng roses, nagtataka akong napatingin sa babae, "Uh, who gave this?"
