THEIR LAUGHS BLENDS WITH THE CHATTER OF OTHER PEOPLE ON OTHER TABLES.

the girl who's in another fluffy black jacket and has long hair named paula, who is extremely funny in any way possible, took a sip from bettina's coffee cup, not expecting it to be scalding hot.

"it burns!" paula squeals, exposing her tongue like a dehydrated dog. it makes everyone around the table laugh out loud.

"i told you it was hot!" a short haired girl with a huge ribbon attached on the side on her head named bettina retorts, pulling her coffee cup back to her. joey, the most concerned one, is still laughing, but offered paula her water bottle filled with cold water. "can't your dumb brain feel that the cup was hot so it meant that the coffee was hot too?"

after taking a few gulps from joey's water bottle, paula scowls and furrows her eyebrows, "bet, you know my dumb brain is already fried from calculus!"

two of the people around the table are the only ones who didn't shiver at the forbidden word: calculus.

"you had the test?" joey asks, remembering that paula was ranting to her last night that she was going to fail their test. "how did it go,"

"i'm going to fail," marie says with much confidence, brushing her blonde bangs off her forehead. she is in section a and they had their calculus test before their vacant. "i literally stared at my paper for ten minutes before starting! ten minutes! you know how precious ten minutes is? i could've tried to answer the last question for partial points!"

"ha! i put down my pen and gave up when i was in test four," bettina retorts, not really caring about the test because she knew that the amount of blanks that her paper had gave her the results. "how about you?"

bettina is looking at joey and she sighs in response. joey had her calculus exam for her first period. she knows that she did fine, but it wasn't the best. "i compared my answers with the smart ones in the class and i most probably got one correct answer in test four," joey replies, folding the wrapper that her burger had into a small piece.

"how about you, raffy?" bettina asks the person who was across joey. "whoops! why did i even bother to ask? i mean, you're smart, so i guess you did great."

rafaela, or otherwise known as raffy among close friends, frowns at the statement that bettina let out and joey is the only one who catches it.

"i haven't had the test!" rafaela retorts, rolling her eyes. "i have calculus as my last period."

joey mindlessly played with the small folded square that her wrapper had become and takes a glance to her left. marie is busy finishing her lunch while sharing it with bettina, who is across her. the table only accommodated six people and it is the right table for them. at the head of the table, paula and their other tag-along, alyza is seated watching everyone eat.

"can this day just fast forward already?" alyza groans, ruffling her almost pixie cut hair. "i feel like any time soon my brain would explode."
