Juniper
Cady, you there?
Bakit hindi ka sumabay sa amin pauwi kanina?
Hindi mo kami hinintay!
Lugmok na lugmok na naman si van Acker.
Alam mo naman 'yon, nanghihina kapag 'di ka nasisilayan. 😂

Cadence
I'm sorry, Juni. 😞

Juniper
Why? Bakit ka nagso-sorry?

Cadence
I might have to stop hanging out with you, guys.

Juniper
HOY BABAE!
ANONG PROBLEMA?
'WAG KANG GANYAN! 😭
ANONG NANGYARI?
MAY NAGAWA BA KAMI?

I swear to God
If you don't respond to me now

Cadence
People are starting to gang up against me, Juni.
Noong una, hindi ko na lang pinapansin.
I was having too much of a good time with the three of you, kaya nakaya kong i-ignore.

Cadence is typing...

But this afternoon, there's this group of girls who all whispered "slut" as I walked by.
Ni hindi ko sila kilala!
Nakaka-trauma, Juni. I've already experienced bullying at my old school.
Ayoko nang maulit.

Juniper
Hype 'yong mga 'yon, ah!
Tanda mo ba ang mga mukha?
Mga nagpapantasya 'yon kay Ruel, panigurado.
Gusto mo, sugurin ko?
O kaya isumbong natin kay van Acker!

Cadence
'Wag na. Ayokong magsimula ng gulo.

Juniper
Okay. I knew you'd say that.
Pero 'wag naman sanang umabot sa point na lalayuan mo kami, Cady.
Kulang ang CRuel VaPer kung wala ka.
At mamamatay si Ruel Reginio van Acker!!!
Gusto mo bang mangyari 'yon?

Cadence
😞

Juniper
😞
Alam mo ba kung ano ang totong rason kung bakit never pang nagka-girlfriend si Ruel?

Cadence
No.

Juniper
He was afraid, Cady.
You already know his dad left when he's just a baby, right? Si Ate Rizzi, three years old pa lang. Shortly after, their mom died. Napabayaan ang sarili hanggang sa nagkasakit, dahil sa sobrang lungkot dala ng pag-alis ni Mr. van Acker.
So Ruel and Ate Rizzi had to be raised by their mom's parents.

Cadence
Nakwento niya nga sa akin. 😞

Juniper
Takot magmahal si Ruel, Cady.
Baka raw kasi maiwan lang din siya, gaya ng ginawa ng dad niya sa kanila.
So, the fact na sumugal siya sa'yo...
Don't you think it speaks volumes?
'Wag ka naman agad sumuko.
Don't leave him hanging.

Cadence
Okay.

Juniper
Attagirl!
'Wag mong pansinin ang mga hibang na babae sa Eisner. Mga nag-iilusyon lang 'yon na may pag-asa sila kay Ruel.
Helloooo
#CadyLangMalakas 💪🏻

Cadence
Haha, thanks Juni. 🙈

Juniper
Insecure lang ang mga 'yon sa'yo dahil neseye ne eng lehet. 🤣
Maganda, matalino, mabait, nililigawan ng campus heartthrob... ya know?

Cadence
Maganda, matalino, at mabait ka rin naman, ah! Curious lang ako, Juni. Why didn't you and Ruel hit it off?

Juniper
We did hit it off, Cady. As best friends. Pero as magjowa?
Yuck HAHAHA
Ruel is like a brother to me. Pero hanggang doon lang kami. Kay Vance Reginio na ang beauty ko! 💁🏻‍♀️

Cadence
You and Vance are really made for each other. Cute niyong dalawa lagi. Swak na swak kayo sa isa't isa. 🥺❤️

Juniper
And so are you and Ruel!
Kailan mo ba sasagutin si van Acker, ha?
Para naman magback-off na nang tuluyan ang mga assumera sa Eisner.

Cadence
Malay mo, next year...

Juniper
Hahaha it's already December!
I see what you did there, girl! 😂

Cadence
🙈🙈🙈
