•Inside Alice's Dorm Room•
"What a busy day!" Alice entered the room and threw herself on the bed.
ALICE'S POV
Ugh!!! Nakakapagod!
"Next time, I'll stay away from that Lloyd Vissany na!"
I mean, ok naman siya pero kailangan lang niyang matuto kontrolin yung kulit niya. And speaking of kulit, ganon lang naman ginagawa niya para magpacute sa girls eh! And ayoko ng ganon!
"Omg Alice, why are you stressing yourself over him? He's not worth your time," Alice murmured to herself.
"Pero... Di eh. May something lang talaga sakanya eh," hmm... I just need to figure out what.
"Kasi, kung iisipin mo rin. He's your ideal type, right? The typical clumsy, charming and brainy boy? Masyado lang talaga siyang makulit. Yeah, and isa pa, bakit mo ba siya iniisip? Don't tell me na may gusto ka sakanya? No no no! Wala toh. This is nothing. Ok?"
Then why are you procastinating about him?
"Shut up brain! I am not thinking of Lloyd Jameson Vissany. Wait... Why do I know his second name?! Oh no! Hehe, this can't be good!"
Think, think, think! There must be an explanation for this?!
"Oh my gosh! Pagod lang toh Alice. Pagod lang, ok?"
"Pero wait. He did say something about Reece earlier... I wonder if he's being serious?... Although, he did make a pretty good point on those 'people change' kind of stuff... Hmm... This is really puzzling,"
Alice layed down her bed for a while before she finally drifted off to sleep.

•In Lloyd's Dorm Room•
He slowly opened the door and entered his classy room with a little creep of smile on his face.
LLOYD'S POV
"Ahh! What a nice day," he said with a smile.
"I should probably do this more often. You know? Helping tidy our room, exercising for a little bit, spending the day with someone I like... Wait! SPENDING THE DAY WITH SOMEONE I LIKE?!! That's not right! Hey hey! Lloyd gising! Ano ba yang pinagsasasabi mo ha?! Nagkaron ka lang ng crush kay Alice ganyan na agad?! Pero in fairness ah, nakakagood mood pala yung ganito? Just looking at her makes you smile... Seeing her happy makes you happy too. Kahit isang araw palang I fell deep for her na eh,"
Hehe, so this is what it feels like to be in love huh? Feels nice and good. Actually, I really like it! Just having someone to look forward to meeting... It does make you feel better!
"I need to take a shower to freshen up!"
Lloyd got up his bed, chose some clothes then entered the bathroom.
~~~~~
•Inside the bathroom•
"Yeah... This is what I needed. Some soothing water flowing down my ever beautiful body and clashing with the skin on my perfect face!" he muttered to himself.
He's been in the shower for more than 10 minutes when he suddenly heared a minion's theme song play on his phone.
"Wait, is that what I think it is?! Omg! Omg! I have to hurry up!" Lloyd started scrubbing his body from head to toe, doing it as fast as he could.
"Why did they call at the exact time I'm enjoying my bath?! Anyways, they are my family tho. So I just have to hurry up," Lloyd dried his body and put his clothes on.
As fast as lightning, he dashed towards his phone and answered the anticipated video call.
From his phone flashed a slightly old looking woman with a 5 to 7 years old girl on her lap.
"Hi mum! Is that my baby sister Alexa?" Lloyd happily asked.
"Bwothew! I'm not a baby anymowe!" Alexa answered in a high pitched tone.
"Haha! You still are Baby Ali. See? You still can't pronounce your R's correctly," Lloyd smiled.
"Mum! Tell bwothew Lloyd that I'm not a baby anymowe," Alexa set off a little tantrum.
"Ok ok. That's enough for you two. So Lloyd, how are you doing?" his mum, Leah asked.
"Ok naman po Ma. Dito rin po pala nag-aaral si Kiosh Ma?!" Lloyd's face brightened up.
"Oo," sabay bigay ng napakatamis na ngiti ng Mama Leah niya.
"Bakit di niyo po sinabi?" tanong ni Lloyd.
"Ayaw mo yun anak? Surprise? Hahaha," reply niya.
"Hmm... I guess so Ma... Nasaan po si Papa?" Lloyd proceeded to another question.
"Ahh, ang Papa mo? Nasa trabaho pa 'nak. Ang kuya mo naman di pa nauwi galing school," sagot ng Mama niya.
"Ok po. Kayo po? Kamusta na po kayo ni Baby Ali?" sunod na tinanong ni Lloyd.
"Oh kamusta ka na daw sabi ni kuya?" dahan-dahan na tumingin ang Mama ni Llyod kay Alexa.
"Well, I'm doing fine! I'm also the top in ouw class!" sabay irap ni Alexa.
"Alexa? Ano ang tinuro sayo ni kuya?" paalala ni Lloyd.
"Na..." napaisip si Alexa.
"Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika..." sinimulan ni Lloyd ang kanyang pahayag.
"... Ay higit pa sa mabaho at malansang isda," maayos naman itong itinuloy ni Alexa.
"So Baby Ali. Remember to use our own language more often. Hindi naman masama magsalita ng mga lengguwahe ng dayuhan pero mas mainam parin na gamitin ang sarili nating wika. At ang wikang ito ay ang wikang?" pahayag ni Lloyd.
"Ang wikang Filipino," nakayukong sagot ni Alexa.
"Good," sabi ni Lloyd.
Napahinga na lamang ng malalim ang kanilang ina sa mga narinig at halata sa kanyang mga mata ang pagkasabik habang tinititigan ang kanyang mga anak.
"Oh siya. Paalam na muna anak at may aasikasuhin pa ako. Say bye to kuya na Alexa," sabi niya ng may malaking ngiti sa labi.
"Bye kuya," Alexa smiled.
"Ok. Bye Ma, Alexa. Pahinga narin muna ako," Lloyd said with a warm heart then waited for his mother to end the call.
"Hayy nako. Nakakapagod! Mabuti pa sigurong matulog diba? Oo tama. TULOG IS LIFE!!!" Lloyd exclaimed habang nagiinat at tuluyan nang natulog sa kanyang napakalambot na kama.

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....
