"What? Sorry, can you repeat that? What do you mean di kayo sa Saint Bernard Christian University papasok?" Alice asked Sheki and Rans, "Akala ko nag promise tayo na same School tayo hanggang huli?" Alice bellowed as she tries her best to keep her emotion in check.

Rans tried to console Alice, but the latter immediately pushed Rans away.

"I, we'll make it simple for you Alice." Sheki finally spoke as she moves closer to Rans and ki—

"Okay ka lang Alice?" Jem asked a pensive Alice, "Pag pasensyahan mo na si Brei, alam mo naman yun, hyper pag umaga."

Alice faced Jem and smiled, "I'm good." Alice replied.

"Is that a question or a statement?" Jem asked again.

Alice took a deep breath and tried her best to smile which eventually turned to a sneer, "I'll be okay." Alice finally admitted, "I just remembered a bad memory. Ikaw? Are you okay? Mukhang Malala away nyo ni..." Alice hesitated in mentioning Sela's name.

Jem let out a loud snort, "It's something petty, not even worth mentioning."

"Yet mainit ang ulo nyo kanina." Alice replied, now donning a proper smile, "You were literally at each other's throat."

Jem took a deep breath and let out a loud sigh, "Well, umamin ako kay Sela, that I like her." Jem replied which made Alice's eyes widen.

"Umamin ka? Kay Marsela? Ano ang sagot niya?"

"Well," Jem hesitated, "She said—"

"You said what?" Brei asked loudly after hearing Sela's explanation as to why Jem was at her throat earlier, "Si Jemimah, ang magandang si Jemimah, hinindian mo?"

Sela rolled her eyes after hearing 'Ang magandang si Jemimah' and nodded. "Yes Brei. I said no."

"Teka lang Marsela ha, nakaka gaga ka rin paminsan-minsan eh. Tsun ka ba? Two months ago halos ma bingi ako kaka kwento mo tungkol kay Jemimah. Tapos ngayon malaman laman ko na.."

"Brei, I get it, okay?" Sela cut Brei off, "Just, just don't. When she tried to kiss me."

"She what? Hinalikan ka niya?"

"Tried, Brei." Sela corrected, "and I panicked kaya ko na sabi yung No. Then I left kasi di ko alam ang gagawin."

"Nak ng Tupa naman Marsela." Brei exclaimed as she scratched her head, "Wag mong saibihin di pa kayo nag uusap after nung confession niya?"

"Hindi pa." Sela replied while biting her lower lip, "nahihiya ako."

"Dapat lang!" Brei exclaimed, "You just made her feel like shit Marsela, dapat lang. Pero still, dapat inexplain mo." Brei added while rolling her eyes, "Wag kang, ewan."

"Sa tingin mo Brei," Sela's voice sounds worried, "I should apologize and aminin ko rin na gusto ko siya? Na gusto ko din si Jem?"

Before Brei could reply, a voice cut her off.

"Gusto mo rin si Jem?"

The two turned to face the owner of the voice.

And there she stood, Dana, smiling.

"Mukhang tuloy yung Sister School meet ah." Abby greeted Sheki as she enters the Student Council Room, "I just heard the news."

Sheki smiled and nodded, "Kaya pinatawag ko na rin yung iba, para you know, para makapag plano."

"Last year was a disaster." Abby reminisced the humiliation they experienced last year, "Na sweep tayo."
