LOWANNE'S POV

I was so thirsty and I saw that the girl beside me had a water bottle. I was very shy to ask and I was sweating.
"Are you okay?" she asked. She noticed me.
"Are you nervous? Hmm it's okay, it will be alright, just do your best." she gave me thumbs up.
"Don't be so nice to me." I said and smiled shamefacedly.
"I just want some water..." I added.

"Oh sorry." she lend me the water bottle.
"Yeah, it might be really hot here." she said.
"No no, not that."
"Sorry again."
"Never mind. I hate it, I was just forced to be the contestant!" I slam the table in anger. Everyone turned their heads on me.

"Hey look, it's Lowanne!"
"Wanwan!"
It seems like they were happy to see me.

"You're Lowanne? I always heard your name." the girl on my side said.
"Really? Just don't mind it."

"What's your name by the way?" I added.
"I'm Diana."

"Oh-oh! You're very skilled in drawing, right?"
"I don't really think so."
"Deny ka pa!"
She just laughed.

"Okay contestants, start now."

A few minutes later, I was already about to color. I was so frustrated, I really hate it when it comes to coloring. When I look at the window, there is Mark that brat watching me.

My sweat, they're falling down. I'm very nervous right now, and I looked at Diana she's just very careful and relaxed.
And I noticed Mark's still there and I can concentrate no more.

One hour passed and I'm about to finish my work.
"Okay, time is up!"
"Oh!" I threw the pencil because of my anger but I didn't mean it.
"Okay ka lang?" Diana asked.
"Yes-I-am!" And I picked up the pencil. Everyone already passed their work and Mark came in.
"I bought this for you." he lend me a biscuit and a water bottle.
"Yieeee.." everyone were teasing us, so I covered my face with my left hand.
Kinuha ko agad ang pagkain na dala niya.
"T-Thank you he-he" and I rushed out.
Gosh, ano ka ba Mark!"

HERA'S POV

Slogan contest for this afternoon. I hate activities, it makes me be in a group of people.

As I sat down waiting for the contest to start, Kian came inside and I don't know why. He saw me and waved at me.
I looked down and act like I don't see him.

"Gosh! The seat on my side is empty!"
And my eyes widened when someone sit there after I uttered those words.
I slowly raised my head to see if whose sittin' there.
"Aah!!" I screamed, it's Kian and h-he was staring at me, smiling.

"Why did you scream?" he asked.
"That face creeps me." I rolled my eyes and pick up my ballpen and pretend to write something.

"Grabe ka naman oh, di kaya nakakatakot. Marami nang nabaliw sa mukhang 'to!" he said boastfully.
"Pfft!"

"Pero nabaliw lang ako sa nag-iisang mukha!" he added.
"Blablabla"

"Mukha nung nasa tabi ko." he looked up and smiled.
"Geez, shut up."
"Hoy, wala ka ng magagamit na cartolina!"
"What?" napansin kong sa cartolina na pala ako nagsusulat.
"Aaarrrgh! This was your fault!" I blamed him.

"Luh, grabe oh.. May isa pa akong cartolina dito, baka usto mo?
I open up my palm for him.
"Okay, give it to me."
"Sure! Ikaw pa!" he smiled and winked.
"Stop it! It creeps me again!"

The contest was already done. I was picking up my things one by one.
"I'll help you with that." Kian picked up my bag.
"Give me that!" and I was trying to grab my bag from him.
"I said, I'll help!"
"Okay fine!" I pushed my bag to him.
He laughed.

"You know, I'm already satisfied doing these things."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Helping you."
I'm speechless. I just looked at him with sincere look.
"Come on, let's go!" he said.
I smiled. And we go out of the room together.
