Sierra immediately put her car keys on her bag after parking her car in their university's parking lot. She was wearing a gray jacket and a black jeans paired by a black sneakers. She was just walking towards the building where her classroom was located. Nang malapit na siya sa room niya ay napatigil naman siya nang makita ito.

He was standing near the door of her room, holding a bouquet of sunflowers. For more than six months that they did not see or hear each other, he looked different than before.

"Oli?" She called him, enough to get his attention. Napatingin naman ito sa kanya.

"Hi," He just replied, smiling.

"You have a beard," She pointed out the little stubbles he had on his face.

Oli Velasco laughed lightly, "Yeah, I was too lazy to shave."

"Your body is even different," She commented again, "You look muscular than before."

Oli awkwardly scratched his nose in embarrassment, "I started going to gym these months..."

Sierra giggled, her eyes starting to get watery, "You're a very terrible friend."

She immediately ran towards him, hugging him tightly. Oli was a little surprised at what she did but also wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer.

"I miss you, so terribly," She said, almost crying. Ang tagal na magmula 'nung nagkita silang dalawa. For six months, they lost communication. She just thought he was busy and that he didn't want her to bother him anymore.

"I miss you too, Shie," Oli replied, breaking their hug. Inabot naman nito sa kanya ang dala nitong flowers.

"Are you still dating Gavin?" Oli suddenly asked her. Nagulat naman siya sa tanong nito.

"No," Agad siyang umiling dito, "Actually, when you were in Africa... uhm, we broke up," Sierra looked down to avoid his gaze.

Napakunot-noo naman si Oli sa sinabi nito.

"Did you have sex with him?"

Sierra then creased her forehead because of his sudden question, "Huh? No. We never had sex. What do you mean? Gavin and I just dated for a month. I just... realized he was an asshole. He didn't cheat but he... he didn't like my friendship with you. I broke up with him when he told me that I should stop talking to you."

"What the fuck," Oli immediately walked out, leaving Sierra, confused.

"Oli, where are you going?!"

"To that fucking bastard."

"Hindi ka na sana sumugod sa Ateneo, nagkapasa ka pa tuloy," Sierra was tending to Oli's bruises using the first aid kit she brought from their university clinic. Nakabalik na silang dalawa sa university niya. Orion Lincoln, after realizing everything, immediately went to Gavin's university to beat up the guy. Gavin was surprised when he saw them and when Oli quickly punched him on the face. Nagkapalitan pa ng mga suntok ang dalawa at hindi pa ito natigil kung hindi lang dumating ang mga guards sa university.
