•Inside the Detention room•
Alice and Lloyd are sitting together on a long white table where they are writing the essay given to them.
LLOYD'S POV
"Umm... Alice? Are you done with yours?" Lloyd carefully asked.
"No, I still have 125 more words to go. So... Keep quiet," is she mad? I really can't tell based on her tone and expression.
"Oh ok," I should probably shut up for now.
What did I do to offend her? Think.... Oh. Yeah, I was the one who caused trouble for her. I hope she forgives me soon. Besides, a 500-word essay is a piece of cake for her. But... I think being marked abscent is not. She is our top 1 after all.
"Alice?" I asked. And all I received was a glare so I shut up.
Maybe, not really a good time to have a conversation with her. I'll just wait 'till this is over.

•After 30 minutes•
Mr. Bilano entered the room and saw Alice and Lloyd quietly sitting. It's like no one was even there.
"Umm... Alright, Kiosh told me what really happened. And... I can say that, Alice, you did that on impulse. But, that's still not the right way to respond, you know? And as for you Lloyd, I expected more from you. Anyways, since this is the first time this happened and it's for a childish reason only. I will let you two pass," Mr. Bilano sat in front of them and explained.
"Really?!" shouted Lloyd and Alice.
"Oo, pero! Kayo ang maglilinis ng room niyo dahil sa kayo rin naman ang nagmess nun. Ok, you two are dismissed," Mr. Bilano said while cleaning his glasses.
"Ikaw kasi eh," bigla nalang dinilaan ni Alice si Lloyd.
"Alice?" pinaalalahanan ni Mr. Bilano si Alice.
"Sorry sir. We're leaving," Alice pushed Lloyd out of the room.
MR. BILANO'S POV
"Hay nako. Mga bata nga naman ngayon oh," isang malalim na paghinga ang ginawa ko.
Nakita ko na itong scenario na ito. I'm sure na may future silang dalawa. Not just any future, a future together.
"They just need time para marealize nila yun," he whispered.

•Back at the classroom•
Nagwawalis si Alice habang si Lloyd ay nakaupo lang.
"Huy! Maglinis ka naman oh!" Alice exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah... I'll be right there," sabi ni Lloyd habang comfortable na nakaupo sa harap ng whiteboard.
"Hmmph!" biglang binato ni Alice nang eraser si Lloyd.
"Uyy!" mabilis na nakailag si Lloyd.
"What's your problem?" sinubukang maging kalma ni Lloyd.
"You need to clean din naman diba?! Why don't you start now?! Tutal ikaw naman may kasalanan kung bakit tayo pinarusahan diba?!" Alice threw the rug to Lloyd.

Romance"Meet me at the cafeteria," one of the famous girls said to a guy. "No! No! and... No!" Alice shouted. "That's not right!" "What do you know? You can't fall in love anyways," the girl flipped her hair. "Oh we'll see...." Alice smirked....
