The first half day of school for Mayvonne : No formal classes. Mayvonne felt like a stranger to her classmates, since they knew each other. She has no friends because her classmates were hesitant to talk to her. She was hesitant too. Lawrence, whom her only friend, was not inside the class. He was excused, because he was an officer in extracurricular activity in the school. Lawrence is an officer of the dance club.

Section 1 was full of talented and intelligent students. Half of the class was excused to attend some key activities of the school.(Like Lawrence was) She was all lonely. The student of the whole class did not make reintroduction because they knew each other already. Also, because that the class was not complete. She was also not introduced as the new transferee of the school either.

Lunch break, she ate her lunch ( juice and cookies) alone in the school cafeteria. Loneliness pushed her to text Santiago.

“How’s the school?”  she sent SMS to Santiago.

She stared at her cell phone for a minute out of no reply. She put her cell phone in the table in dismayed.

“God, how am I going to live like this?” she whispered softly on desperate.

Her alter ego herself on whispering,  “Hello?! It’s the first day of school how do you think you would manage to tell yourself like it happened the whole year?!”

“Yeah yeah right.” She agreed on her alter ego. (She was like crazy already)

Her cell phone beeped.

Diddy’s text : “Quite good. Anything wrong?”

Em’s text : “No. I’m good. It just that I missed being jologs again

Diddy’s text : “hahaha crazy you! You just missed me, that’s it

She doesn’t know what to reply, while composing her reply. Her phone rang. Unregistered number flashed on her cell phone’s screen.

“Hello? Who is this?” – on her hesitant voice.

“How is your day?” baritone voice of a guy.

“I’m good. May I know who is this or you might want me to drop this call...”

Someone at her back hold her hand where her cell phone on his ear are.

“Or... ill drop this call for you.” told the caller which irritates her,  she looked at the back where the person who did a familiar face,  smiling at her.

“Hello Mayvonne. I dropped the call for you” Lawrence told her wide smiling.

Mayvonne’s heart beats fast.

“He-hello”. She smile and all the desperations gone.

“Yo-You love popping up, always surprising me.” Did she sound relieved and exited? She told herself.

“Ow! Like we’re destined for each other?” sounded like Romeo on his romantic voice.

“That was fast! Is this how you get you girl get in on the loop?” responding him cutting of the flirtations.

“No, babe, it comes naturally like how fate made us meet again.” His face was one inch closer to Mayvonne’s face.

Mayvonne blushed. She can’t resist Lawrence’s charm! To her surprised, she never felt irritation or ill feelings. Those guys in her previous school have flirted with her had heard her arrogant sharp tongue. The worst was her fist to those who had nearly took advantage at her. Not of course with Santiago who has an equal charm as Lawrence. This guy was different.

“All right, enough with the destiny. What made you popped up like this, Mr. Romeo?” She managed to spoke on clear voice, but she can’t manage to slow down the beat of her heart. It’s like that its coming out of her chest. She smiled to conceal whatever excitement inside.

“Nothing just came to get something you promised. Lunch. Ms. Juliet” his eyes is absolutely charming at Mayvonne’s eyes.

“Yeah, okay, I was about to tell you, let’s go, and buy something ‘proper’ for lunch”

“She really can’t remember me” Lawrence told his best bud, MJ.

“What do you expect her to remember?! Ang bata nyo pa that time.”  Mj told him while preparing the things needed for the mass.

“There is. That is something I guess that I haven’t told you.” Lawrence told him, while getting the wine in the ref, which was used in the mass.

“Hahaha! Okay Buddy, .” Tapping Lawrence’s shoulder. “We have all the time later to discuss your love life, for the meantime, I’ll go ahead and do my altar duties” MJ told him grinning at him.

“See you later buddy” Lawrence tapped Mj’s shoulder.

Mj left. Lawrence shrugged his shoulder and left.
