Alex' mom arrived after few hour, she had a short talk with Alex' teacher. "Let's go anak." Alex hugged her mom and said "Thank you Mom." They went back to Manila. Alex called Rain, "We're heading back to Manila. Enjoy the rest of the retreat day, sorry if I made this decision."
"It's okay Alex, I'll see you soon."
The next morning, Jem asked Rain "Where's Alex?"
"She went home."
"What? Why?"
"She not feeling well, Jem I have a favor to ask."
"Anything Rain."
"Alex knew that you are back together and it hurted her like you can't imagine. I already told you about her feelings right? So it is best to keep a distance from her until we end the school year."
Jem is holding her tears, "Ah o-okay."
"Sorry Jem but we can no longer be friends with you."
Rain left the dining table and Jem went to the restroom to cry.
Keane saw Jem and followed her, he waited outside. Jem finally went out, "Jem is everything okay?" Keane asked her. "Yeah." "Why are you crying?"
"Nothing, I just want to go home." "Well, this is our last day here. Hang in there." Jem hugged Keane, and said "Thank you."
The activity started for all the Senior students, everyone is enjoying it except for Rain and Jem. One of their classmates asked Rain, "Rain, where's Alex?" "She had an emergency." "Sayang, sobrang sporty ni Alex and she always want to win. I can still remember during our Junior year yung tayo nagchampion sa lahat ng activity sa school because of her." Rain suddenly felt that she missed Alex, "Yeah, I can still remember." Everything is flashing back, their happy memories. "Rain, can we talk?" Jem asked Rain. "Yeah, sure."
"I hope everything will be fine between us three. You guys are my friends right? I don't want to lose you both."
"It is easy for to say that Jem. Alex is my bestfriend, I know I don't have the right to end our friendship but I can't see her being hurt. We can still be civil with you Jem. I'm sorry." Keane was there, he heard everything. "Babe, stop talking to her, she'll just make you feel it's your fault. You better keep a distance to them, they're gay." Rain walk towards Keane, "So what? It is all that you can say Rapist? C'mon yeah you're not gay but you're assaulting your girlfriend to have sex with you? Wow, you think that's cool?" Rain said those words on the top of her lungs causing a scene.
"Jem, Keane and Rain, follow me." The head teacher heard everything and wanted to confirm if the issue is true. "Tama ba yung mga narinig ko?" Teacher.
"Miss, let me explain. It is not what you think it is. There's no assault or rape happened, Jem and I had a fight and that's it. She's lying." Keane pointed to Rain. "Ohh I'm lying, yeah for sure. Why don't we ask Jem." "Miss...ahhhm" Jem is really nervous. "Keane is right, nothing happened." Jem started to cry, she doesn't want Keane to be in trouble specially it is their last year in school. Rain clapped "Good job Jem, you did well."
"See Miss, you don't have to worry." Keane comforting Jem. "Stop causing a scene okay, you are all in your last year. Don't make me let you stay for another year." Teacher.
