Five months after that incident, Evan and I have been close. I've become comfortable when his around. Wala na kaming awkwardness for each other.

Lilac, Aspen and I have been clubbing every Weekend. Lilac has the weakest tolerance. Well, sumasama naman si Xander, Peter at Evan. Because they're very protective, lalo na si Evan. He would really stick like a glue and follow like a dog.

Lately, Xander and Aspen had gotten close narin. Like, close-close. Wala namang sina-sabi saamin si Aspen about it. So I don't mind it nalang kasi dati na silang close, Best friends eh.

Today it's December, finals na namin for 1st Semester. We're all here sa bahay namin, overnight sila. We need to study our asses kasi last day na namin sa exam bukas, timing naman dalawang major subject ang para bukas.

It's ten o'clock, kanina pa kaming six nag start dito sa lounge. Aspen and Xander is on the couch. Aspen had a hard time, understanding Biochemistry kaya nag-paturo kay Xander.

Lilac is drafting something sa floor. Di ko nga alam kung ano yun, she's supposed to study and not to draw. Well, architecture life it is.

Peter is studying with us ni Evan sa coffee table namin. We fit naman sa coffee table, that's why walang problema para saaming tatlo.

"This is so hard~! Omfg?! Remind me again why I choose Nursing? When all I want to be is to become a Dermatologist?" She said, groaning about Biochemistry.

We all chuckled sakanya and after six hours of studying, we all decided to sleep.

Nasa second floor lounge kami, it's quite spacious than the ground floor na lounge.

The second floor has a floor couch, so the girls could sleep there. The boys sleeps sa medium sized bean bags, kasya naman silang lahat doon.

Lilac and Aspen is fast asleep, they're too tired for this study session.

I'm disturbed, it's my first time na matulog dito sa second floor na lounge. Di ako sanay.

Bumangon ako sa kina-hihigaan ko at bumaba papunta sa kusina. Made myself a milk, to help me sleep. I just keep the room lights off kasi light sleeper lang si Mama.

I'm dozing off when I heard someone approaching, I felt horrified at the moment. Then, I saw Evan who walks into the slightest moonlight that entered the kitchen.

I sigh in relief that it's not a serial killer. "You almost gave me a heart attack." I said while I'm still breathing in and out.

He chuckled and sit beside me sa high chair stool. "Can't sleep?"

I nod. "Yeah.." I paused and take a sip of my milk. ".. do you want some?" I said.

He shrugged. "Well, better to try it if maka-tulog ba ako." He reached for my cup of milk and take a sip. He hummed sa lasa ng timpla kong gatas. "Tastes good."

I chuckled, I noticed the milk at the corner of his lips. He looks like a kid eating chocolate ice cream, imagine how smudgy it is.

"What?" He said, confused why I'm chuckling.

"Well, you have.. uhm.." I said pointing at his lips. He seems to not get what I meant as he still look confused.
